It's funny how your retarded, self-hating ass is unable to even read with comprehension. This is not a thread about gays - it's about slaughtering Christians. So my reaction can be hardly said to be caused by "people oppressing their gays".
It is funny to watch you try one the one hand to claim titles like "liberal" and "tolerant" and on the other hand call people "retarded" and "self-hating" and calling for the world to "just fence [Africa] off and leave it to rot!"  :lol:

Besides which, these people are slaughtering Christians, and I seem to remember you calling for the killing of Christians yourself.

Africa can just go fuck itself, as far as I am concerned.

Africa is not so bad as geographical entities go; I would save my ire for the Tannu-Ola Mountains.  Bastards.

What's with the machetes? Why don't they just shoot them?
It's so unlike you to be pre-occupied with efficiency.

As a far left-wing hippy anthropologist I support these indigenous peoples and their use of tradtional methods to solve their arguments.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Cheap, no need to reload/no ammo to carry, easy to use, and their main reason is to terrorize.

Exactly.  Simply but terrifying = WIN to terrorists.

Arrows cost money. Use up the Irish, the dead cost nothing. ;)

QuoteA villager, Peter Jang, said: "They came around three o'clock in the morning and started shooting into the air. The shooting was meant to bring people from their houses and then, when people came out, they started cutting them with machetes."

Maybe Africa is fucked up because people have wrong responses there? Perhaps we should teach them some basic DOs and DONTs. Things like: "When you hear shooting in the street, don't go out to check what it is." or "When flies are crawling all over your face, swat them away." :unsure:
I've got to say, Martinus can be quite effective at dressing people down, as long as they're some anonymous Africans.
