How long before South Africa's man-made famine starts and the US taxpayer is expected to bail the country out

IF South Africa ends up having a famine(which i doubt),like Zimbabwe we will ask China and Iran to help us ,not America. So dont worry.

Brad, I totally agree with you about the state of the country. But what I can understand is that you were born in SA, am I right. So now you moved to USA, have been paying your taxes for a few years and now it gives you the right to slag SA off? Why don't you leave it to the US citizens that were actually born in the country as it is more their right than yours you traitor. You just go on and on over the same thing, in every question you post, if I can call it a question, and frankly, it is getting quite boring. Why don't you just try some other topics to discuss for a change hey?

next year i believe its the year of the scarecrow people all over the world will starve just to inconvenience the united states

I could not care less by this question, but wanted to comment on one of your comments. "Judge someone by the company they keep", interesting coming from you... Thank god I don't know you, or people would judge me as idiotic, whinging, self righteous fool! Oh and I hasten to add, bored as well, or is it unemployed? Do you not have anything better to do with your time. I have not been here for 2 months and still the same bullsh!t coming from you. Give it a rest!

What a joke, can you name one country in Africa that the US tax payer has bailed out? The US or China or the UK all do things out of their own self interest. The US doesn't even bail out it's own citizens as evidenced by the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. The mighty US taxpayer has no control over how their tax dollars are spent anyway, they have already spent over 300 Billion on a war in Iraq that half of them didn't even want in the first place and the other half only agreed because they thought it would cure their pain over 9/11. (It didn't by the way and now they all want out). Zimbabwe made a really stupid decision. I don't care what you think you know about Zimbabwe but this land grab had more to do with maintianing political power for Zanu PF than it did with providing landless Zimabweans with land. Africans can be quite sophisticated when it comes to maintinging their iron grip on power. South Africa will not follow this route on such a large scale, I can't say that it won't happen at all though, this is still Africa. Judging by your post I will guess that you are a white guy so I would say that the whites also made a terrible blunder. They were more than happy to watch many black Africans remain in poverty, they should have been building schools in rural areas in an attempt to show themselves as good neighbors. When you are in a country where you are such a minority you have to realize that sooner or later your head will be on the chopping block, the only way to keep it off is by giving opportunity to the masses. South African whites failed to educate the black masses and now you have an angry population that can't even compete on the same level as a Zimbabwean in terms of education. Before you go blaming other people why not look at what brought us to this situation in the first place. There is enough blame for everyone both white and black. Sorry for rambling.

Not long....you can Smoke a Cigarette in the meantime.....

That answer from Take Notice Now kind of sums up the moronic thinking of the people who put the ANC into Government. Whilst China is busy recolonising Africa there initial approach will be that of the benevolant Father but just wait until the Africans have swallowed the bait. If they think China or Iran interests extend beyond minerals then they are in for a big shock.Already the South Africans have a $3 billion trade deficit with China and the Chinese arent even trying yet.When it is out of control for the South Africans then the extortion and manipulation will begin. Only those required to deliver the minerals to China can expect to be fed but the rest are on their own. However, the US and the UK are probably aware of the likely scenario and will bail out another African disaster with tax payers money and I will have to put up with Bono or Geldoff on the TV holding out the begging bowl on their behalf. Makes me sick but at the end of the day we have only ourselves to blame. The UK were the prime movers in putting the ANC into power and the US forgot about the South Africans who halted Communism in Angola etc.Africans have only ever learned how to ask for handouts and we have always obliged under the concern of Communism and now radical Islamists. I read some ex Mossad guy say the other day that World War 3 has already started so maybe the battlefields will be Africa and the Middle East with a resultant new population educated to look after themselves.
