Why did Cape Town run dry first though? The excellent (mis)management by the oh so civilized whites it seems.
I've already dealt with the "B-But Muslims!" question, go back and read ya goof.
Unlike the principled right, which never blames or generalizes blacks as a race and only seeks nuance.Well I know Blacks and Libs love to blame Whitey, but it's not quite that clear cut. While Cape Town is run by the Democratic Alliance, the 1988 Water Act gives the national government the status of, Public Trustee, meaning it bears final and ultimate responsibility for the water supply.
Safe to say that in this case, neither the DA nor the ANC have covered themselves in glory.

Says the guy who started the conversation with "W-What about Muslims?!"I accept your whataboutis Tap Out, old friend
I guess, if you have a really low bar for what qualifies as funny. It's not only colonized countries that are shitholes. Which colonized country had any of those things before being colonized?Japanese people have all those things without having been colonized while all the colonized countries are among the "shitholes" that Trump referred to. Funny how that worked out huh?

Lol, peace
Its mostly colonized countries that are shitholes, in fact name one shithole that wasn't one sort of colony or another and if you can I can name ten that were.I guess, if you have a really low bar for what qualifies as funny.

There are lots of shitholes. Nearly all of the colonized countries were shitholes at the time they were colonized. Ethiopia and Afghanistan did a good job being shitholes without having colonization to blame. You think all these places were kicking ass and doing great until whitey showed up?Its mostly colonized countries that are shitholes, in fact name one shithole that wasn't one sort of colony or another and if you can I can name ten that were.
Never said they had them before, just implied they didn't need to be plundered and exploited to get them as evidenced by Japan. Japan's greatest advantage was being as far away as possible from Europe so they couldn't be colonized so easily.

Just curious, but are you saying the whites in South Africa had no hand in ending it? Literally no hand at all?So we're going to credit the white South Africans with the end of Apartheid and not the African National Congress?
I can dig it.They are shock rockers. Let's not let their crazy music videoes dictate who they really are offstage.
What does, have the means to move to the city mean in real terms though? If they are farmers and that is how they make their money, how are they going to farm in t he city? They wont be able to, thus they really don't have the means to move to the city. Not sure what the logic is with that.We have plenty of South African's migrating here. If the "white South African Farmers" don't qualify for refugee visas, it's because they have the means to move to the city and avoid the dangers and/or because the danger they face is less than millions of other asylum seekers around the world.
The response to the question has less to do with people thinking through their position than it does the reaction to Dutton's dog whistle politics and apparent desire to become a "Trumpesque" Australian PM.
It's not like he's known for his compassionate stance on refugees.
I always thought the major sociological and economical progress of Japan was thanks to the Marshal Plan? I know little of them pre war though, did they really have roads and decent infrastructure? Decent, functional government that didn't suck balls?Its mostly colonized countries that are shitholes, in fact name one shithole that wasn't one sort of colony or another and if you can I can name ten that were.
