Do you think Africa is a shithole?

FurryFace · 61-69, M Best Comment
i wouldn't visit Africa , the middle east , Turkey , Snake Island , the north or south Poles , the bottom of the Marrianna's Trench and the top of Mount Everest , people have died along the way up and down , yeah they use the dead bodies as markers now too , yeah thought that was weird too

I've been to Ghana, Liberia and Gamibia...yes..open sewers, beaches so polluted you cant even go there, rivers so disgusting even the locals wont fish or swim there...people are wonderful but their governemnts are so corrupt they take all the foreign aid..yeah..Trump is right..shit holes
CoffeeFirst · 56-60, F
No country should be described that way, despite it's challenges. What a moronic, childish thing to say. Shame on him. Trump embarrasses me.
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@CoffeeFirst I know. But whatever HE is: His mouth IS a shithole - that´s for sure! 💩
CoffeeFirst · 56-60, F
Good use of the poop face, hahahahaha.

I live in this “shithole” it’s quite beautiful actually so is the rest of Africa in general , it’s the presidents and corrupt politicians which make them a shithole , have to be sorry for the political voting cannon fodder who believe all the bullshit that is promised but then again ,they vote the “heroes “ back in 5/10 yrs later after they have delivered fuck all and plundered all the wealth so they also have themselves to blame to a certain degree, Zim for instant. Took them that long to work it out.

A lot of places are quite poor. It's actually quite beautiful though.
Dayeshadow · 51-55, M
@WoodyAq true..but would you live there?
WoodyAq · M
@Dayeshadow given a choice between somewhere nice in Africa and Baltimore or Detroit, I'd take Africa.
SW-User
I’m from Northern Africa.

No. Africa is quite rich.
@rckt148 I completely agree with you...
SW-User
@rckt148 Now why are you arguing with me?
@SW-User He is arguing in your favour..
LyricalOne · F
Africa has many problems but also has some of the most beautiful people and landscapes on the planet.

Trying to fit a continent so vast and complex into Trump’s narrow minded narrative is ignorant and an insult to everyone involved.
rckt148 · 61-69, M
NO and I resent a man who calls it one
I have 2 people who would die for me on that continent
One is SW Africa ,a highly educated and intelligent lady
Another who puts himself in harms way daily for others ,deployed for months at a time away from his family and all he is provided is a net to keep mosquito's off him is a net ,he got malaria this past summer and is now about to face those same conditions again ,He is a Policeman ,he is forced to live most of the time in very poor conditions ,he has 5 more years to go until he can retire .
Not living in a building covered in gold and gold on his cake (real gold on a cake )
So I am as offended as my Brother and Sister who live there are ,that happens to be where they were born ,unlike some with a gold spoon and rattle .
And most don't know ,,Like Iraq and Iran ,the USA caused that crap there ,
not the acts of God ,but the government ,,if you can call it one
We did that
rckt148 · 61-69, M
@Sicarium Wow now that crap was deep ,,but thank you
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@rckt148 No need to thank me. As long it helped you understand that an entire continent is not represented by two people, I'll be happy.

Also, that thinly veiled threat was hilarious. Kudos to you and your oh-so-well-connected friend who may or may not be a government assassin.
rckt148 · 61-69, M
@Sicarium She is no assassin ,but still well connected
if you knew all she has done you would be impressed too ,
And I am not taken in by BS stories ,I know her .(but I am not trying to convince you )
but Please forgive me if I seemed to base my opinion on 2 people ,
they just happen to be people I know and love who live on the continent of Africa from 2 separate and totally different countries ,
One in upper class ,one very poor but both in service to their people and part of the solution (actually doing something not just talking )not part of the problem .Again thanks for the tear ,I will save it for my distillery ,
when we all cry for water and only the rich have it .
I will be making safe drinking water from salt
even though its a small contribution ,I prefer to do then to talk myself
you don't know me either
I work hard to keep it that way
My comment was just an opinion ,I support yours as well
have a good one
again thanks for the tear

shithole meaning everything is deteriorating /no infrastructure upkeep and drought ridden areas, corruption is king-and those people are kept in power
no running water from taps or decent flushing toilets
no service delivery in many areas
leaders saying be intimate with hiv aids people just shower it off in a land where that disease is previlent
yes I believe it is and it's getting worse by the day
we live in it and experience it
there are good people here but we are fighting a losing battle
that is our reality
SW-User
minimun once a month they pump riverwater that the raw sewege are pumped into directly into our housetaps
no treatment for the money is squandered
SW-User
walking around the block you literally step into human shit 4 times raw sewege flows down the streets
SW-User
no landfill management
constant fires
toxic fumes and smoke hangs over this town often
we can scarcely breathe with our noses throats and lungs burning and stinging like ***
Sicarium · 46-50, M
Much of it is.
valhalla · M
Not at all.
If ppl are escaping poverty or militia .. it’s a shit hole..
Now does Africa meet said criteria?
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@Soossie Half of my family are Africans and coming from shithole country and I admit: I am feeling INSULTED. Yesterday I have blocked 17 people - so many normally I am blocking in three months! And ALL OF THEM I have blocked because they were agree that "shithole" is the right word... 🙄
it disgusts me to see what has become of human....
Loretta78 · 46-50, F

MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
If so, would you call the people there shit as well?
tenente · 100+, M
