1. You have an overactive imagination

2. Yeah China , Korea Japan etc have issues and so forth,it's the result of doing the very hard work that was needed to make their countries developed. Russia did the same , that's how they were able to beat the Germans j. world war 2

Seems you despise hard work

3. Yes the Chinese value education, and they also value the need for industrialisation which includes valuing vocational and technical education

Which you despise
Nonsense. lol

It isn't propaganda from oyinvos. it is how many countries developed. including then saner climes. Including Russia and China.
You are getting paid by oyinbos to spread propaganda.

Russians are utterly miserable. Many of them are alcoholics and do not enjoy their country.

China was handed rapid development on a silver platter in exchange for offering production with dirt cheap labor and no labor laws. This is also a country where it's common and accepted for office managers to hit employees. It's acceptable to force subordinates to binge drink with you.

Furthermore, Chinese place a lot of value on formal education, almost to a fault. There are students that hook themselves up to IV drips and wear diapers during long, intense study sessions. And their population is so large that the competition for skilled jobs is extreme, so they cannot afford to do the minimum.
Education › Re: Too Many Graduates. But... by Cousin9999: 3:46pm On Jul 23
This is propaganda from oyinbos. They don't want black people to be educated.

That said, someone who only has trade training has a limited foundation to work from. And they are likely not even fully trained in their trade. This is why people who want to do a trade should do technical programs at universities. Let me say that again. People who want to pursue a trade should do so at a university. Furthermore, there is no such thing as an engineering graduate who can't figure out how to fix something. And one of the most important things anyone walks away from a university with is the ability to teach themselves something, anything.

Struggling graduates are likely people who lack the resources/access to do what they need to do. Some of them might also feel like certain jobs are beneath them or don't pay "enough." Some of them might be convinced that certain things aren't possible or are unlikely to work out because they've seen others fail or suffer, for example, starting a business or moving to a particular location to find work.

It's also important to remember that not every graduate truly put in work. Some people cheated their way through. It's no surprise that they walk out clueless.
Crime › US: $547M Fraud Scheme, Fugitive Apprehended Abroad by Cousin9999(op): 10:37pm On Jul 22
NEW ORLEANS, La. (KLFY) — A man who was on the FBI’s most wanted list was captured after he allegedly played a role in a fraud scheme that stole $547 from the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Khalid Satary was captured in the Middle East Wednesday and returned to the United States on Tuesday.

Between 2016 and 2019, Satary owned and operated several diagnostic testing laboratories throughout the United States which allegedly billed the Medicare Program for expensive and medically unnecessary genetic tests.

Satary allegedly conspired with dozens of patient recruiters, telemarketing call centers, and telemedicine companies to utilize deceptive marketing campaigns and illegal kickbacks and bribes to generate cancer genetic test samples that reimbursed between $10,000 to $20,000 per sample.

Through his laboratories, Satary billed Medicare for over $547 million. He also allegedly paid millions of dollars of illegal kickbacks and bribes to doctors and patient recruiters.

On September 26, 2019, Satary was indicted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana.

He was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud, health care fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States and to pay and receive illegal health care kickbacks and bribes, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.

Satary was released on bond with conditions to not work in the health care field.

While on bond, Satary allegedly conspired with Houston-based laboratories in Texas to submit fraudulent genetic testing claims to Medicare.

On November 23, 2022, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Satary in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana, for pre-trial release violation.

Family › Re: Why I Won't Take You Serious If You're Still Living In Your Parents House At 25! by Cousin9999: 4:12am On Jul 22
People who babble endlessly about this seem jealous that others have the option, or they're mad that people living with their parents don't give a crap about appearances.

Live with your parents and save for your home, start a business, or go to grad/med/law school. Also, jump on opportunities, switch companies, and etc. since you don't have to consider other things. That can change the trajectory of your career and finances. People running their mouth aren't paying your bills.

BTW South Africa cannot legitimately complain about immigration. It's not like the US where Mexicans and Indians are everywhere like roaches and there's clear evidence that they're damaging the economy and putting a strain on resources. South Africa's biggest problem is the whites and Asians there that are robbing the country. But "black" SA are cowards who won't fight their real enemy on their own land.

I haven't been following this closely because SAs are trash, but have SAs chased out any white or Asian immigrants?

Show me one example.

Science/Technology › The Basic Laws Of Human Stupidity by Cousin9999(op): 7:00am On Jul 19
In 1976, Professor Cipolla published a 60-page essay describing the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as the greatest existential threat to humanity: stupidity.

He divides humanity into four main categories: Intelligent, Bandit, Helpless, Stupid. All are defined on the basis of a win/lose concept, slightly echoing the prisoner’s dilemma.

Law 1: Everyone always and inevitably underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation

No matter how many idiots you suspect you are surrounded by, you are invariably underestimating the total. This problem is compounded by the biased assumption that some people are intelligent because of superficial factors such as their job, education, or other characteristics that we believe rule out stupidity.

Law 2: The probability that a person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Cipolla postulates that stupidity is a variable that remains constant in all populations. Every category you can imagine – gender, ethnicity, nationality, education, income – has a fixed percentage of stupid people.

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or group of people when he or she does not benefit and may even suffer losses.

Cipolla calls it the golden law of stupidity. A stupid person, according to the economist, is a person who causes problems for others without any clear benefit for himself.

This law also introduces three other types. First, there is the intelligent person, whose actions benefit both himself and others. Then comes the bandit, who gets rich at the expense of others. And finally, the abused, the defenseless person, whose actions enrich others at his own expense.

Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the destructive power of stupid individuals.

In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times, in all places, and under all circumstances, dealing and/or associating with stupid people is always a costly mistake. We underestimate idiots, and we do so at our peril.

Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.

We can’t do anything for idiots. The difference between societies that collapse under the weight of their stupid citizens and those that transcend them is the composition of the non-stupid. Those who progress have a high proportion of people who act intelligently, those who counterbalance the losses of the stupid.

NYSC › Re: NYSC Corps Member Says PPA Rejected Her Because Of Her Body Size (Photos/Video) by Cousin9999: 4:09pm On Jul 16
Some people are this size because of various physical health issues. Some are this size because of mental health issues.

I don't think people realize that some women deliberately stay this fat because (1) they feel safer from attacks from men, (2) they feel being that size makes them less physically attractive to men and safer from attacks, and (3) some women find men looking at them with desire to be so upsetting that they prefer to be that size.
Sports › Re: England Vs Argentina: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (1 - 2) On 15th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 10:38pm On Jul 15
Not watching that wack final. And France's loss was match fixing. The more I think about it, the more obvious it is. Especially when they were inches from the goal and just passing passing everywhere with no attempts. But England's loss is just bad coaching. Rashford shouldn't have been napping on the bench til the last 2 minutes. Nonsense. England was more concerned about white players getting some shine than winning.
Sports › Re: England Vs Argentina: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (1 - 2) On 15th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 10:07pm On Jul 15
I don't know why Rashford was sitting down that whole time. If he was out there even 5 minutes sooner, they could have won. They also needed to get fresh legs out there sooner than they did. The exhaustion messing up defense was clear. Argentina won off endurance, probably because half their team is like 5'2.

Now would be a good time for France to substitute. But of course they're not.
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 9:39pm On Jul 14
If France was going to tie this, they would already need a goal up there. I don't see them snagging 2 goals in the next 15 minutes. Unless France gets a penalty.
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 9:27pm On Jul 14
There needs to be no hesitation from France in that box. Zero. Take any every shot.
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 9:21pm On Jul 14
And now they let Spain score. 😐 Just standing around like it's a cookout. Waiting with a plate. 😐
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 9:19pm On Jul 14
There's like 2 or 3 perfectly good opportunities to take the shot, yet they're just passing passing in box. 😐
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 9:01pm On Jul 14
I have to give Spain credit. They have some of the cleanest, most precise passing I've ever seen. It must be because they know they can't do other stuff, but that they can get right.

But they still dive a lot and try to draw fouls constantly.

And France seemed to be confused after 20 minutes. They also are doing things they can't get away with when playing Spain. These little things are handing Spain possession and tons of opportunities.
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 8:47pm On Jul 14
Spain should have wore bikinis with all the diving they're doing.
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 8:45pm On Jul 14
Spain is using sneaky fouls and diving. I see it now.
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 8:38pm On Jul 14
What is France thinking right now?
Sports › Re: France Vs Spain: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (0 - 2) On 14th July 2026 by Cousin9999: 8:23pm On Jul 14
France is messing up. All these fouls for what? Just handing Spain these opportunities. And Spain is playing a clean game.
