  1. Re:Ay AY yay caramba! on Home-made Helicopters in Nigeria · · Score: 1

    most of Africa's countries there are factions within Nigeria that were created by European colonialism

    You know, I'm really tired of hearing the same old mantra that all of Africa's modern problems were caused by the Europeans'. You liberal fuckers need to wake up and realize that Africa's problems are caused by Africans. The colonial times ended over 50 years ago. Time to stop pointing the finger at ghosts of the past and put the blame square where it belongs.

    Over the past half century there has been trillions of dollars of aid pumped into Africa yet the Africans still live like savages. Africa is home of the untold riches in oil, gold, and diamonds yet billions of dollars a year go into the county with no real return.

    Truth be told colonization was the best thing that ever happened to Africa. The European power brought modern technology and methods to the Africans. The Europeans built roads, modern farms, hospitals and education to Africa. Now less than 60 years after the last African colonies where granted their independence all of that is gone. There is no road system, the railroads lie in ruins, and the farms are destroyed. Starvation and disease that was almost wiped out are back with a vengeance.

    No, Africa's problems are caused by Africans and they are the sole cause of them. My statements still stand. He needs to get his head out of the clouds. The Africans don't need helicopters but they need working farming machines and a decent education system to teach them how to use them.

    Don't worry. It has never attained an altitude of more than seven feet. You can jump to safety in case of an Emergency

    Sure, in an emergency you can jump but jumping to safty is another issue. Not when youa are going to have the whole freaking mess, whirling blades of death, and all come crashing right down on top of you.

    Coodo's for the kid for making a working helicopter, but realistally he needs to get his head out of the clouds and back on the ground. It would be a lot better for him to turn his efforts to making a light weight and reliable tractor. One that is easy to build, cheap to own, and easy to fix. Once nigeria starts feeding it's people then they can think about flying.

    Personally, I think when lawyers make to many mistakes, bring to many false cases, or do generally stupid shit like this they should face disbarrment. Point of being a lawyer is you are supposed to know the fucking law. Shit like this shows these fuckers clearly don't know the fucking law.

    When a doctor fucks to many times he loses his license. If I get tanked and get behind the wheel not only do I lose my licese I go to jail. What is the difference between doctors and lawyers in the license area?

    Lawyers that practice law and are clearly wrong should not be allowed to practice law. If this was true asshats like this and Jack Thompson would be nothing more than a foot note in legal history.

    reasonable adults can be convinced to kick down your door and point a gun in your face just because a random report on a computer screen says so--with absolutely no confirmation at all from an superior or actual living person involved in the case.

    It's just an example of what I've come to suspect a long time ago. People put to much faith in computers. Most of us know that computers are programmed, the data is entered, designed, and built by human beings. We know that computers are just fallible as the people that use them because the people are fallible.

    Most people over 30 that do not work in the IT industry think that what comes out of a computer is gospel. I think we've all seen it at one point or another.

    Oh and for the record. The fucker that did this needs to be taken out back and have the shit beaten out of him. What ever happened to the hacker motto of "do no harm?
