Well, thanks.
But, thinking again, I don't want to be praised by someone who misspelled "genious" :)

PS: being a genious is easier than I thought!

In Argentina, 90% of the population is "white", but you consider us as "hispanics", which is not true, many of us are italian, and we also have german, english, bolivian, brasilian, korean, chinese immigrants.

Argentinian politics are based in the Peronist party, which is neither left or right, mainly because perón wasn't in the left or the right. People who are in this party have five things in common:

1. worship Perón
2. Are power-hungry.
3. Are very charismatic
4. Tend to be corrupt
5. Do not like the independence of powers much (which is related to be power-hungry)

And nowadays it is the only powerful party (more than 2/3 of the Congress, enough to pass any law they want), there is no opposittion.
And even if other party wins the presidential elections, the fall, because they don't get enough support.
The worst thing of all is that people keep voting them.

BTW, politics usually suck in every country.

It prevents your population from aging, look the problems europe is having with their retired people.
And the US society is based on immigration, all that OMG mexican people are stealing our jobs!! is crap, big corporations are, they close their factories in America and open them in India.

Stalin and Hitler were on the same line

True, extreme left (aka communism) is usually a tyrannic goverment, URSS, China, North Korea , Cuba. Same thing with fascists. . And I don't think nationalism is a trait of the right, you have in Southamerica, for example Hugo Chavez, who has plenty of social programs, or in the '50 in Argentina, Perón.
Nationalist parties base their power in the masses.

But the chances of it taking place increase noticeably.
Did you know that the force of a car crashing at 50 km/h are equal of falling from a 5th floor?

Sounds nazi to me.

Anyway, it's not like there are millions of nazis in the street convincing pedestrians.

Then you should distribute wealth more equally.

Punctuation please!

How much money do developed countries spend in food relief for africa? I think money would be a key factor, because the US and Europe don't actually have big surplus to spend.

Communism is a good way to industralization, and communist countries (eg Cuba) have good health and education standard. However, it also includes tyranny, (eg Cuba), and after a brief period , the growth stops. So, in the long run, communism would be prejudicial.
And we must consider developed countries, who wouldn't be keen on a communist continent.
A colonization is also to be considered, mainly professionals to work in hospital schools and also universites, so to educate the african population, and after this objective is fulfilled, the professionals can go back to their home countries.

Their presence prevents formation of stable sources of relief because they become a free, easy source of access to food, effectively monopolizing that market for their time of presence.

Other programs could be implemented to accelerate the recouperation process. Programs that establish support for already existing businesses would be the best, as long as the business is reputable. Programs that build homes and educate children are excellent alternatives. Hospitals, schools, and roads are always needed, and could only help. There are some great alternatives for food programs, that could be given the surplus of funding from cutting the majority of food programs.

I think it's a wonderful idea. I couldn't agree more.
Although I have a couple of question: wouldn't all this hospital, school, roads building be much more expensive than relief programs. Would countries like the US and those of the European Union agree to pay for these new programs? Because I don't really see this being a topic in the G7, sadly.

Blame Iran (and/or Syria), conquer it and start pumping oil.

There are democracies which have more than two parties. germany, for example, has 5 major parties. If americans don't want to have only two parties, then don't vote democrats or republicans. The parties are there, the votes are not.

Canada, which has awesome natural resources.
Japan, which rocks and we half-own already.
Britain, which is powerful and would be ironic.

Basically, any place that isn't a craphole. Which especially doesn't include: Mexico, South America, Africa, Middle East, China, Russia, Eastern Europe.

I think the other way round. China, for example has 1.3 billion people and its economy is growing like 10% a year, so if you are buying China now, you're buying it "cheap". Japan, on the other hand has a well-educated population, an excellent health system and is the 2nd economy in the world. Thing is that Japan s growing at 1% a year. Same goes to Germany, UK, and other rich countries. So, it is more profitable to buy not-so-poor countries, because they have more space to grow.
Of course, you wouldn't like to buy countries with more "structural" problems, such as drugs, which are more difficult to solve.
So, If I were the US I wouldn't buy Mexico, I would buy China (If I could afford it), Eastern Europe, Southern South America (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay), and some Asian Countries like South Corea.
But anyway, that seems highly unlikely.

Hey!, I know what an IP is, that means I'm not a noob?

I don't think beating children is the solution, but I think punishment and limits are, as in a modern society. If you take the TV from my 10 yo brother for a month, he will surely get the point, that if he doesn't commit suicide.

Well, my parents bought me a Nokia 6165 when I was 12, but I had to pay the cell phone's bill with my own money, and now I bought a 3200 with my own money, and I'm still paying the bills.
So, what do you think?

PS: I don't have an Xbox 360 I only had a Sega Genesis and a Game Boy Color :(

I did this PC Course, and when I had a doubt with any hardware related subjects (what is latency, why doesn't intel micros have it l1 cache in kb) my "teachers"said "Wait a sec" and went to wikipedia. So most of the stuff I know about computers I`ve learned them thanks to the great wiki.
