Too often, rightly or wrongly, we Americans are criticized for being insufficiently interested in newsworthy events in some of the more remote parts of the world.  This essential post about a major event in Africa thoroughly debunks that slanderous notion and reaffirms the obvious truth that Americans are passionately concerned about news and events of the day in all corners of the globe.

I agree that we need more postings on these types of uplifting stories, especially ones including bikinis. But why no pictures of them during the hot dog eating contest?

Actually the top three are not that good looking. The German girl looks a little better. Not so skinny.

I voted for Miss India personally.

But, I think it is important here to get to the real purpose of this thread. GOD creates beauty everywhere and it is always refreshing to see beauty and to relish in its display....

Jokes aside, this post is one of the best posts in promoting harmony among different peoples.

As I reviewed this post carefully I realized that I could have intelligent conversations equally with Miss India, Miss Mexico, Miss Russia and Miss South Africa.

In fact I would like to chat with all four of them simultaneously.

God truly is great! He has once agained opened my eyes to the beauty that exists in Nature (Miss Venezuela NOT covered by the “nature” part of that comment)

Attractive young women - and I think it’s nice that they didn’t have to wear high-heeled shoes to walk on the beach.
