I'm not racist, I hate everyone. JUST JOKES PEOPLE, CALM DOWN .
I have heard that SA can indeed be a worry. Maybe as bad if not worse is Papua New Guinea - apart from constantly running the risk of being sliced 'n diced, you might end up being cooked as well
Reminds me of the joke about mid-flight meals:
When flying Qantas you may get served a pie for lunch, while American gives you the hotdog
However with PNG Airways the stewardess comes along and offers you up her arm ..
I hear in PNG these days the Rascals are not just running amok in the highlands as usual, but are now regularly rioting (and worse) right into the downtown CBD of their capitol city of Port Moresby
Can be stunningly beautiful for a visit if you're game .. but to live there? Not bloody likely! A friend recently got back after a 3 year posting (we thought we might never get to see her again) with some sobering tales about life and death in the Failed State of PNG
my recollection of africa having lived there for almost 16 years almost my whole life is much more peaceful than living in america in the two year i have been here ,Originally Posted by QuattroMan
in africa, the only person who is feared is a hustler . what about here?

And if your intention is to start a mudslinging contest, I'll pass, thanks.

You know what, this thread is beginning to smell too political. I'll withdraw with a parting shot:
SA's a great place and has wonderful people. Is there trouble? Yes. Will they overcome it? They always do.
That's nothing new on UCP. You should see some of the debates we've had here.Originally Posted by Kooper
All countries are capable of overcoming their problems. Sadly, you don't always suceed due to lack of political will by those that can affect a change.Originally Posted by Kooper
I'm just glad my friend is going home in December.

I believe some South African car owners have a special "flame thrower" device connected to the side of the car and the owner of the car can press a button and "roast" a criminal who is attempting to steal their car (car-jacking).
Also, if anybody has lived or been in Africa for a few weeks or a few months/years, can they briefly answer these questions?
Is Africa really as terrible as people say it is in terms of most African people living with or enduring a terrible standard of living due to diseases like AIDS and malaria, poverty, lack of services and people dieing from starvation? Do a sigificant percentage of African people enjoy a satisfactory standard of living?

I saw that on a news report once. They were interviewing the owner of the company that sells that anti-car jacking "flame thower", my first thought...well my second thought was "damn is that legal?" My first thought was Holy S..t!!! It was a while ago I saw that report, I don't know if it ever came to market.Originally Posted by john14
The African continent reminds me a lot of Latin America but worse. The affluent outnumber the less furtunate by a large number...but worse.Originally Posted by john14
In Latin America...Mexico for example, there is rampant poverty as in Africa. And a very high crime rate as in Africa. I've noticed that the biggest contributor to crime is the lack of attention of the authorities towards the problem. Why, because they are corrupt. They work in conjuction with the criminals and take "their cut. It doensn't just happen at "the top" as some might think. It starts with the local cop taking bribes from the local hoods and moving all the way up through the chain of command. That's why we have such high crime rates and I suspect the Africans have a similar problem
What I'm saying is that crime isn't caused by poverty, the thugs and the police make a "good" living from it. The problem is corruption and greed. We have the same problems as the Africans as lack of services, health and even starvation. But they seem to have it worse than anyone else. As I said before, corruption and greed are to blame.
