All of the problems their country has, and this is where they're investing their efforts.

I guess that helps explain some of the problems their country has...


and thus, the cycle continues.



Just because a system of justice is employed in order to enforce barbaric tribal custom and ritual does not mean that justice results.

In fact, it's quite the opposite. It simply points out all the more how grievous is the injustice.

I expect the USA Feds to invite Sudanese over here, give them free housing, free food, a free phone, tax credits and since they are black they will get preference in many areas ( as if they were personally discriminated against) and then tell them they don't need to speak English or learn our customs. Which means they will continue to live the code they've grown up with and liberals will rejoice because we are "diverse". Kumbyah! I expect all this because it is what has happened in the past and will continue to happen until we as a society is ground down to near third world status ourselves. Welcome to Detroit or LA! Soon to be everywhere!

By that logic since others have been tortured and died a horrible death we should torture and die ourselves. Let me know about the afterlife if you can, will ya?

I got the stink eye from my buddy's liberal GF for making a joke like that. We were walking past an Ethiopian restaurant in New Haven and I said what do they serve Red Cross food aid?
