I'm getting tired of always having to defend Africa at every turn,
either you have some interest in this huge continent and get informed about it on your own or you don't,but you need to stop complain about it when the media shows you only the negative side,
in all my life I've rarely seen a good depiction of this continent on tv, but strangely most of my "western" friend that travel there come back transformed, they rarely talk about it the same way they did before,
we all have preconception but it is kinda annoying to only see a problem when it is too late, you should never jump into a bandwagon without knowing who drove it to the edge,
right now there are huge riots in thailand, people are dying but it is difficult for me to pick sides because both sides are corrupts, but if you only read newspapers you will immediately think that the "red shirts" are the one getting oppressed but if you got your info before and saw the complexity of the issue, it is hard picking a side,
same thing in africa, they are some real evil people in this world (point to my all of fame in the potd thread), you can just jump in and point to an article, you need to explain how they got there and why they got there.
