Title: Re: South Africa is a failed country...... Post by: Gst0395 on March 06, 2014, 06:59:37 PM It's unfair to call SA a failed country. I won't deny, it does have it's problems with crime, poverty and racial tension (especially against whites), but it's very well off compared to alot of countries out there, and has some really beautiful areas. Maybe the government just doesn't do as well as they should.
I don't know really, I've never been to SA. I've just read up on alot of the problems that occur there. Here's a map of so-called "failed states" around the world. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Failed-states-index-2010.png) So SA is in orange which may seem quite severe, but so are countries like Mexico, India, China, Russia (all higher on the list than SA) and most of the countries shown on this map so it's pretty average, and better off than some Red countries in upper Africa and the Middle East. Western countries in Europe (labeled Yellow) seem to pretty well off, and Green places like Canada, Ireland and Australia are the most sustainable apparently.

On my second trip to Italy a couple of the girls in my group were from South Africa and they encouraged all of us to come visit South Africa some time.

Good luck with that. :wink: Title: Re: South Africa is a failed country...... Post by: Trevor on March 07, 2014, 02:36:44 AM It's unfair to call SA a failed country.

I see my birth country (Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, north of South Africa) is in red: that is not good. :thumbdown: Title: Re: South Africa is a failed country...... Post by: Gst0395 on March 07, 2014, 10:26:11 AM Yeah, I heard Zimbabwe has not been good in recent times. It's probably due to a dictating government and civil unrest.
And I know this may be unrelated Trevor, but how are things down there in SA? I often hear stories about violence and racial tension, but I can't judge if it's truly like that since I've never been?

Oh yes, Mr. Dershowitz.... I'll throw in some German for you too. Dershowitz ist eine Dummkopf. Er ist ein schwanzgesteuert Versager. That's enough for now, I'll save some for the next time :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: South Africa is a failed country...... Post by: Flangepart on March 20, 2014, 01:08:30 PM The world is mad. And each madhouse looks out it's windows and screams 'J'Accuse!" at all the others. Is it a wonder I expect mankind, not to save it's self?

Wherever any South African goes, that is what we say: come and visit us. You might even want to stay and if you do, welcome here. :smile: Title: Re: South Africa is a failed country......

So, Trevor, does that mean when we come to visit, you'll put us up at your place for as long as we want to stay, and you'll change into clean undies every day we stay?
