    Sounds like an unwise place to vacation or seek employment. :shrug:

    Somehow I doubt dark skin = safe where this happened. I imagine you need to be better armed and roll in bigger numbers than the local thugs if you value your health.

    I would hazard a guess that the murder rate in mauritania is less than that in the US.

    This thread should be doused in formaldehyde and preserved as the prime specimen of Wordforge discourse: In less than ten minutes, we have Volpone blaming all of Africa, henry blaming Volpone, and Uncle Albert blaming the victim.

    Drive by shooting African style. Makes an interesting change from the American style.

    You got some proof to back that up?

    No, "unwise to be there" is not "the victim is to blame."
    Neither is "be better armed and roll in greater numbers."

    Suggesting wiser decisions to avoid the situation is not an assignment of blame.

    So to recap:
    -You got Somalia, where the people were starving to death but the warlords were too busy fighting/stealing/destroying food to do anything about it.
    -You got South Africa, where 25% of men admit to being rapists.
    -You got Rwanda where, depending on who's in power the hutus are butchering the tutus or the tutus are butchering the hutus.
    -You got people being pulled from their cars and shot dead in Mauritania.
    -You got--shit, I don't even know where to begin with Zimbabwe.
    -You got the butchery going on in the Sudan.
    -And slavery is pretty much commonplace across the whole continent.

    Fuck it. Anyone stupid enough to go there to try and help these people deserves whatever they get. They don't want to be helped or they'd help themselves.

    Sorry Async. But the writing is on the wall.

    Better take off and nuke the continent from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. :bergman:

    I can only hope that the prof was one of those liberal tree-hugging fags who thinks guns are evil and hates the United States.

    Uh no.
    Just pointing out that the place you consider so dangerous is quite possibly safer than the US.

    It wasn't such a bad place until the powers of the west came in, raped the country, raped the people, moved the populations around, redrew the borders and fucked off....

    My dog could write a more sensible paragraph than this.
    So, first they shot him in the face and head, then he tried to stop them, then they just pointed their (one, mutually owned?) gun at him (without shooting any more?) and ran off?

    In the second sentence, the pronouns refer to Mohamed, not the professor.

    It's always easier to blame white people thousands of miles away than the locals themselves, eh?

    Spare me this bleeding-heart Lion King horseshit. Before the White Devils came along Africans were still living in dirt huts and killing, raping, and selling each other into slavery. They just had shitty weapons and transportation so they couldn't do it as effectively.

    You probably also believe the Middle Ages were like some Renaissance Faire too, where everyone is clean, healthy, wealthy, well-dressed, and well-fed and all they did was juggle, stage fake swordfights, and play the lute.

    Well, the only figures Ive found seem to show the murder rate in Mauritania is lower than the US overall.
    per 100,000 people
    US 4.5
    Mauritania 0.76

    http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/rwinslow/africa/mauritania.html


    Unsuprising, almost the entire country is farms and farmers.

    Just because a country is in Africa, it doesnt mean it will always have worse crime than a western country...

    Hey...my town isn't that bad...it has electrolytes!

    Anyway, according to Dan Leach the continent was a veritable paradise before whitey came and raped the land/skewered babies/etc.

    And most places are safer than many in America.

    And I can picture Dan saying this in a big pot of boiling water while chanting pygmys dance around it. :lol:

    Im not saying it was good before europe swooped in, sold the populous then carved up the continent, but it definitely got worse...
