Apr. 26, 2007 Of course we are not all equal ,why do you think every one wants to be in a white country.Its for sure not because they love white culture.No its because they like the money.In most non white counties the standard of living is very low.This follows the policy they pursue and the cultures that drive the policies.Take Egypt which is a secular country ,although its inhabitants are mainly Muslim. I went through this county umpteen times as a boy ,my father being in the army,I myself going through it shortly after wards as I was then in the Air Force.The place had not changed.There were bum boats alongside the ship as they hawked their wares. Poverty abounded everywhere ,beggars on the streets a constant menace as where the thieves and the petty con men. In India the same story only the poverty worse.The only bright spot was once I arrived in Malaysia .No beggars ,the shops seemed to be full ,and whats more there was not that stink of fried meat and putrid sewage. Why I have often thought do these people live in such misery.Are they cursed?I have heard for years the usual excuses that they were robbed by the colonial governments but in retrospect this seems a lame excuse as I remember just after the war in the UK where we had rationing. No it has to be something else .The way of life is all I can put it down to .The third world seems determined to carry on with their own traditions and way of life but at the same time want western wealth.The two just don't go together ------------ About the author: Read Mike Haran's essays on history at http://www.geocities.com/manzikertca/ Email: manzikertca@yahoo.com Comment on this article here! ------------ All articles are EXCLUSIVE to Useless-Knowledge.com.
