I don't think we should waste our time debating things and trying to change each other's minds. Perhaps in person, but not on a forum. I just wanted you and others to know that there are people who think your views are ignorant and abhorrent.
And I also refuse to be drawn into an argument about whether or not I should be drawn into an argument. So this is my last post on the matter.
Cool, and I'd like you to know that bleeding hearts, wringing hands, and filling the coffers of corrupt African officials while the people who really need help go without isn't the answer either.
I understand that some people like you, Fox, or Nelson for example will find the provocative way I've put the fact that perhaps some African countries should start taking more responsibility for their own mess (Zimbabwe for example) too challenging to take on-board and discuss without backing off entirely or resorting to childish comments about the Daily Mail or voting Tory. But then some forum members are easier to wind up than others.
