Norton is too top heavy, it is burning out your computer.

It's free and unlike AVG, it actually works and is great in that if you have Xp it gives you the ability to scan the computer before it comes on and get rid of resident and memory virus.

Whoa. I am shocked.

I can't believe it.

I have never heard of anybody actually listening to 50cents lyrics.

I just thought he was fine.

Maybe I will pay attention to what he says on the next song.

mamaput,

Who would remember her next to that outstanding performance of Jim Carrey? She played his girlfriend, which you remember but not her face. Now that is bad.

Don't you think that it is because of Angelina's and Brad's willingness to save the life of somebody else's child that God blessed them with a child of their own right off the bat?

Two good and beautiful people deserve each other.

Afeni,

I like dat in you. You got game.

toshman,

That is the point. What does Condileeza Rice have to do with Africa?

Jews of course certainly know what Condileeza Rice has to do with Africa.

So when they wanted to make a big stink about Darfur to draw attention to evil Muslims as evil people who do the same as they do in Israel.

What did they do? Started hollaring loudly to everybody in America that Arabs were enslaving Black Africans!

Now change has to come in Sudan.

You should visit websites, where Black Muslims desparately try to convince African Americans that the Northern Sudanese are Black also.

They know that the Jews did them in by making it seem as if white Arabs were enslaving Black Africans in Sudan.

Now every Black group in America is up in arms and something is being done about Darfur.

Sudan has been a mess towards southerners from way back, and most of the people in Darfur are muslims.

So why only recently has the world outcry wratched up?

You never know the power a Condileeza Rice has.

Rice tells Sudan to act on Darfur

Condoleezza Rice says Sudan must do more to end violence to women
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said the government of Sudan has a "credibility problem" regarding Darfur.

She demanded "action not words" to stop the violence in Darfur, during a visit to a camp housing some of the 2m people displaced by the conflict there.

Ms Rice earlier met Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir and John Garang, the new vice-president and former rebel leader.

In talks marred by scuffles between US and Sudanese staff, she told Mr Bashir he must end the crisis in Darfur.

Ms Rice later flew to Israel, where she is due to hold talks on its planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

I have said, 'actions not words' Condoleezza Rice

In her meeting with Mr Bashir, Ms Rice stressed that the US would hold him to account if he failed to act, particularly in stopping violence to women.

Ms Rice told reporters: "I said to the Sudanese government that they had a credibility problem with the international community, I have said, 'actions not words'."

She said speaking to abused women and humanitarian workers at the Abu Shouk camp, which houses some 55,000 displaced people, had made plain the crisis facing Darfur.

The secretary of state suggested the US might consider lifting some sanctions against Sudan on humanitarian grounds.

Villages destroyed

Ms Rice earlier demanded and received an apology after US officials and journalists were manhandled by Sudanese security staff at Mr Bashir's residence in Khartoum.

Journalists and some US aides were initially prevented from entering the meeting room, while some of those who tried to ask questions about Darfur were forcibly removed.

Ms Rice had said she hoped stability could be restored in Sudan, following a peace accord in the separate conflict in the south and the creation of a new unity government.

The US has described the violence in Darfur as genocide.

At least 180,000 people have died and about two million people have been forced from their homes in the two-year conflict in Darfur, blamed mainly on the pro-government supporter of APC militias.

US aid official Andrew Natsios said a reported drop in violence in the region since January was chiefly because there were no villages left to burn down.

The United Nations estimates 2,000 Sudanese villages have been completely or partially destroyed.

Afeni,

Alright, son. I understand.

Have a good day.

Afeni,

I agree 100 percent with Jerry Rawlings. The question is, do you?

Afeni,

From your link:

Absorbed hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians living in Nigeria who were expelled. Housed them at El -Wak stadium in 1983 and then moved them to their family homes. Most other economies, including even advanced ones such as Germany saw their economies suffer when they reunified with integrated citizens (for example German reunification).


Jerry did not say destroy their culture and send them to live with other ethnicities. He sent them back to their family homes. Right back to the tribe they knew and loved.

Afeni,

"As one of the few African leaders to resuscitate a collapsed economy, I would have preferred unconditional debt cancellation for all sub-Saharan Africa, with a monitoring system to ensure that the released funds go into basic infrastructure, health, education and provision of good drinking water - and are not deposited in banks in donor countries," Jerry Rawlings, "Africa Needs People Power", The Guardian, July 14 2005.

You say send the funds out to be held in other places. Jerry says the direct opposite.

You say pro-foreigners, Jerry says independent economy.

You say success at any cost, Jerry says austerity now, success later.

How is it that you claim to like Jerry Rawlings but everything you are advocating on various threads around here, are the exact opposite of what Jerry Rawlings advocated?

The man was a Pan-Africanist.

Afeni,

Just 2 and a few generals? I am sure there were far more traitors in Ghana who wanted to keep Ghana dependent on the West than that. He must have sent them to the farm.

What a kind man.

No wonder your website says that some call him "benevolent dictator".

No wonder, he was elected twice even after quitting the military.

Afeni,

From your link about Jerry Rawlings:


Built first ever memorials to Kwame Nkrumah and W.E.B. DuBois.


Exactly what I would have done.

Afeni,

From your link about Rawlings:

Followed an independent foreign policy (unlike the pro-West policies of the PP and NPP or the pro-East policies of the CPP).


I too do not think prowest anything would be good.

Wow. Maybe I am Jerry Rawlings.

Afeni,

From your link about Rawlings:

Created 110 districts through non-partisan district level elections. Education, infrastructure developments and healthcare all devolved to the district level. Annual government subvention by law goes to the district — unthinkable in many other African countries.


Just what I said on another thread about letting each ethnic group get control of their area.

Afeni,

I point to cell phones as the biggest example of Africans not wanting to crawl before they walk. They want to put in cell phone networks but not lay down the old fiber optics networks and old phone networks.

Of course without taking the time to lay down the fiber optics and old fashioned phonelines, that means that most of Africa will remain dependent on outsiders for satellite services. Internet service will always remain mostly out of reach, instead of how it is going in the rest of the world, with even small poor American towns purchasing cable internet for anybody in their town who desires it.

Which of course will lead to more problems in the future, as Africa will not be able to reach the markets because they do not have the necessary internet systems.

As Bill Gates said:
In the past a C student in Des Moines, Iowa had a better chance in life than a genius in India. The internet now means that the genius has a chance now, so the C student now has to try to be the top of the class, A student.

Yet Africa wants to be fancy and everybody have a cell phone, RIGHT NOW.

self-sufficiency is accomplished by doing the old ways first and not skipping a step, in some rush to be successful.

Afeni,

Here is what your link said about Rawlings:


, He abolished the constitution, suppressed dissent, and established a program of self-sufficiency and austerity,

This is Pan-Africanism.

I have watched films of Jerry Rawlings personally teaching Africans how to plant a farm.  

My biggest complaint has been that not many want to do as Jerry Rawlings did and crawl before you can walk.

Afeni,

I meant this. Nobody pays attention to the old boring faithful wife. It is always the new girl at the office that gets men excited, eh?

A Africa that looks and has the same flavor as Europe, is just boring old faithful wife. It is the new girls of India and Asia and Mexico that get the attention.

Not one of those countries is successful because they gave up their own culture. In fact the are selling their cultures to the whole world.

What successful African countries? Ghana? Whose biggest customer is African Americans, whom they make happy by offering them dual citizenship, who are running an ad campaign right now to get the locals to stop calling African Americans 'white people', who they have great research facility's to keep track of African American history that is contained in Ghana. Whom they sell tours to the Door of No return and the slave castles?

Which is exactly my point, Ghana is thriving on it's ancient ways, in this case the history of it's ancient ways. It has something unique to sell to Europeans and African Americans (favorite academic passtime in America, is the fight between black and white scholars about slavery and everything African, so white scholars are going to Ghana also).

By the way, in Ghana the biggest selling book is the bible, the Vice President and others are known to call for public Christian prayer through out the country. Apparently that is one factor in their success that you do not see.

Afeni,

Well, I for one can assure you, everything you have said here, is something that scares me.

Afeni,

How many times a day do you rise to give praise to your own arm?

I can not see how Europeans with Blackskin can appeal to anybody.

By all means, just kill off the people and make the whole place into a Zoo, apparently the animals will be the only thing interesting and unique in Africa, after you are done wiping out the languages, attire and culture.

Europeans/Americans have an old town that follows the old ways, and they make the town into a tourist spot, run groups through there to stay in the old houses and see the old ways.

Africans have far older traditions being carried out and wants to wipe them out?

Apparently this EuroAfrica you want to make Africa into will be one big and uninteresting arm of Europe.

Nobody gets up and remembers to praise their arm.

Afeni,

I understand you. I just lack faith.

Afeni,

Oh. I see. Your here to serve the people. Your offering your life for the people. You in fact are the one who will hang on the cross for Nigeria.

Your God.

Good luck with that.

It's no secret that America formed the Islamic Jihad revolutionaries as a way to level the playing field against Arab Kings with the oil.

It is well reported that we trained Osama and then armed his group in the Afghanistan war.

There are all kinds of movies out, showing step by step that 9/11 was an event carried out by the American government.

You can read book after book, from 20 years ago, talking about the fact that one big event was needed by the Elite to take away some of the rights/power of the American people.

How can the fact that what was written in those books came true, even though they were written 20 years before 9/11 be ignored?

As Hitler said: People will believe a great big lie quicker than they will believe a whole bunch of little ones.

9/11 was one such great big lie.

It had to happen, we could not allow Saddem to allow oil to be bought with Euro's, not dollars.

If banks could allow oil to be bought with Euro's, they would not obey the US, who they need propped up and strong, or else their economy's would come to a screeching halt.

We could not allow Saddem to destroy the US economy.

I would say that is a pretty huge incentive for the US to stage events to get the go ahead to get Saddem.

I do not even disagree with it. Whose Saddem but some dictator we had propped up for 30 years?

I disagree with the lies but I know the governments of the world operate on Machivelli principals. Lie through your teeth to get the power, then you will be able to change things as you might want.

Afeni,

Maybe I missed it, in your Chinua Achebe plan but where is God?

There are no case history's of any successful revolution ever being won, except on a platform involving God.

And please do not attempt to point to any Athiestic communist movements. They had to tear down temples to Ho Chi Min, Tolstoy was a Christian, Marx was a Jew who converted to Christianity. Communism itself is the promise to bring heaven down to earth. Even Capitalism was concieved originally as a Messianic idea.

Colonialist even had the slogan the whiteman's burden, they were doing you a favor at great cost to themselves.
Working straight off the bible idea of am I my brother's keeper?

Even slavery in America, they thought they were doing African Americans such a great favor by being a slave, they considered trying to get away from all of the goodness they were doing for the AA, a mental illness. They were quite sure that the slaves were happy and it was only the free blacks who were confusing their Negra's.

My point to you: Men only do great evil, when they are sure they are doing great good.

I see the devil in your story: corruption.

What you lack is God (the good).

Where's God? Where's heaven? What are the people suffering for? What is the otherside of the rainbow?

A few more buildings in Nigeria? Less corrupt people? Easier time for foreigners?

And if there is no God, why would people ever agree to kill the corrupt, since the corrupt are so many? If there is no God, why would people ban alcohol, prostitution, whatever?

Not going to happen without God.

I'm sorry but these teenage boys, just do not appeal to me.

That was Afeni.

Ndipe,

You do realize that America was also a Colony of Britain, like Nigeria?

You do realize that we had to fight a war against England to recieve our freedom?

You do realize that our war began when we dumped their products they sent us into the ocean?

We celebrate the end of Britain's economic domination of America every 4th of July.

Maybe you will find a better way than America.

You should ignore the above and keep bumping your own head.

Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Ndipe,

Can you give me an example of any country in the world at any time in the history of the world that became one unified entity without having a common enemy?

Leave slavery off the table.

After all the most powerful African in the world is a descendants of the slaves. Condileeza Rice.

Why should Africans make some ties with her?

Carry on. Another smashing idea from Africans.

What are the chances of voting machines all around the country having failures that went in favor of the republicans 95+ percent of the times?

That is just not possible, if they are only simple computer errors. The errors should have favored democrats and republicans.

I was going to give the semantics argument but decided against it.

Corruption in Africa is a game.

When leaders in Africa are picked, chosen, trained and armed, it is well understood that they are going to do the dirt to their own people in exchange for the cash.

Ajia23,

I am with you.

How exactly do you drop two 500 lb bombs and have a good face, head, teeth left?

What did he die from Smoke inhalation?

Got to be a fake.
