So, you admit you don't have any solutions. You only point out the problems. This is why I can't stand arguing with you.
The only solution will have to come from the African people themselves. If they don't change aspects of thier culture and lifestyle, they are doomed for extinction. When they've had enough of the death and suffering they will be forced to change.
You don't think they've had enough of it already? Look, they don't realize that they're the cause of their own suffering. They haven't changed the way they live in thousands of years. These are tribespeople. Even the more upscale ones in places like Kenya, South Africa, and Malawi are STILL very much people of the earth.
You also forget that they are VERY wary of anything western, thanks to occupations by the British and other "Western" civilizations. So whatever we educate them with, comes with that stigmatism.
Your opinions are very much that of someone who has sat on his fat ass in the US without venturing out, educating himself about how the rest of the world lives.
By the way... you forgot to mention the pathetic political governments on the African continent in your tirade. All are corrupt governments and petty dictatorships that don't give two shits about thier own people.
Another conservative tactic you seem to like to use, is when you're argued into a corner, you change the subject. Nice try, but I won't get sucked into it.
