Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment."
In plain English: s--- is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. ...
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a few decades later, liberals would be pushing the lie that Western civilization is no better than a third-world country. Or would teach two generations of our kids that loving your own culture and wanting to preserve it are racism.
Last time I was in Paris, I saw a beautiful African woman in a grand boubou have her child defecate on the sidewalk next to Notre Dame Cathedral. The French police officer, ten steps from her, turned his head not to see.
I have seen. I am not turning my head and pretending unpleasant things are not true. ... The Ten Commandments were not disobeyed they were unknown. The value system was the exact opposite. You were supposed to steal everything you can to give to your own relatives. There are some Westernized Africans who try to rebel against the system. They fail.
We hear a lot about the kleptocratic elites of Africa. The kleptocracy extends through the whole society. My town had a medical clinic donated by international agencies. The medicine was stolen by the medical workers and sold to the local store. If you were sick and didn't have money, drop dead. That was normal.

“The problem is not weak minds but weak morals.”
Weak morals come from weak minds. Where do you think morals come from?
God.
“And the ashkenazi jew curve lies above all of those shown.”
And that’s why they end up running the banks, wall street, hollywood, many corporations, have the most nobel prizes, etc.
The downside of all that success is that it engenders envy and hate.
Why has god forsaken the people that need him the most??
And bad morals issue from UNWILLING minds.
Many animals treat their surroundings and one another better.
Be not proud of IQ. Be not proud one iota.
Why has God forsaken you? Note your irreverent tone.
You were unwilling.
And be very very afraid of danger. Making your IQ an idol is also a sin.
I see you’re avoiding my question...
“Why has god forsaken the people that need him the most??”
I answered well and skillfully and wisely.
For the same reason God forsook you.
You were unwilling.
Read the Garden story in the bible. Humanity was presented with a competing voice to God’s, as a test.
I note that you are ignoring an answer that points more deeply within you than you counted on.
Because there are worse things even than living in spiritual squalor on earth.
There is loving it clear into eternity rather than gladly bidding it goodbye at death’s door when heaven shows through and displays a better way. They might say “Free at last.” You might say “Gotcha, God, I don’t need You at all.”
And pride, as yours, is a sin and spiritual squalor.
And why did god, who made us all, make all those poor wretched people “unwilling”? (whatever that means)
So true. You smell the sh!t everywhere in the air in 3rd world countries.
So I guess we should base policy on what you sister says?

So here in the States, when we discovered that my 98-year-old father's Muslim health aide from Nigeria had stolen his clothes and wasn't bathing him, I wasn't surprised. It was familiar.
In Senegal, corruption ruled, from top to bottom. Go to the post office, and the clerk would name an outrageous price for a stamp. After paying the bribe, you still didn't know it if it would be mailed or thrown out. That was normal.
One of my most vivid memories was from the clinic. One day, as the wait grew hotter in the 110-degree heat, an old woman two feet from the medical aides who were chatting in the shade of a mango tree instead of working collapsed to the ground. They turned their heads so as not to see her and kept talking. She lay there in the dirt. Callousness to the sick was normal.
Ping
I posted this on my Facebook friends list. I hope all the libs read it. One guy said he had read it this that morning. I seldom get replies when I post articles like this. Is there a way to know when something is opened in Facebook?

A must read at the source. Thanks for posting!
Used toilet paper is correct. I was in Guatemala, and the used paper is in a box to be dried out, and picked through and used again. I held it.
The author is quick to blame liberals for pushing the “all cultures are equal” lie.
US government schools have been teaching this for DECADES!!!!
US government schools are the root and the seed of this lie.
Your question is proud arrant arrogant nonsense as there is a God, not a god.
Please come again, this time asking about God while refraining from mocking. For prostitutes enter the kingdom of God prior to pharisees.
