Comment on Ignore Kevin Myers, and he’ll go away by Mimi

To be honest, I never heard of Kevin Myers until I read his distasteful article about Africans. I agree with you that he might be writing it to seek attention.

Well, here is a reply to his article from an Ethipian American blogger entitled ” The Wrath of the Irish Man” A response to Kevin Myers - The Leprechaun.

Mr Myers, the obvious thing to do to an article like yours would have been to give a well thought out response in hopes of getting a productive dialogue started. But I don’t think your article was designed for such things. No, I think it has a different purpose. I mean I can try and explain as to why the West is mostly responsible for the horrible situations that are happening in Africa today or every other continent for that matter and how it goes as far back as the days of Western colonialism and Slavery. I can also talk about the hypocrisy of the West and how it still exploits the rest of the world through fancily named organizations like “The World Bank”, IMF, WTO etcetera. The hypocrisy was never more evident than at the recent G8 Summit where Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister, urged the rest of the world to” not waste food” as he and the rest of the leaders gorged on an 18 course meal . But of course, you already have the pre-canned standard answer, “Why is it’s always the West’s fault?’ or ‘stop blaming others for your own failures’. No, I think there is more to your bile diatribe than just meets the stomach.

Very ‘real’ overview of times past and ahead. I think everybody is getting carried away though. The economy is simply balancing itself out. We’ve experienced excess wealth, some of us being born into it and assuming that things would always be this way.

I doubt (or at least I hope not) that we will face the economic crises of the eighties.

Comment on The worst thing about voting ‘No’ to Lisbon… by Gavle

Saving europe? My friends you have to realise that world globalisation is happening and its up to us to make the best out of it. If europe doesnt stand united on the global stage we ll get eaten by china and india.
Immigration will happen, even without the EU, Eu wants to stop it by helping the eastern european countries boost their economy, and it is obviously working cause up to 50% of the polish immigrants have returned to poland. And many more will. When you voted against the lisbon treaty, you voted against yourself.

How timely. I just went to my local unemployment office today. It’s always so funny to talk about being in a position to need the State/state, when one doesn’t. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to need them when you thought you never would. Luckily, I’ll be back to work soon. I can’t imagine how awful it must be to have the government as your employment agency.
