This is amazing!
-
7 people are chinese poachers
-
What about the seal slaughter in Namibia? Are they doing anything to bring that to an end?
This man is an angel.
-
Very Insightful
-
By setting up game preserves and charging the rich white people to hunt there.
-
i just love namibia.....it's soooo beautifull...
-
It's actually only 99.99% effective.
Saint Mary was abstinent, and she got preggers!!
::trollface::
-
I think he was saying or pointing out that it is a large country with a small population
-
What an inspiring talk.... makes me wonder how they generated the 5.7 million dollars?? was it eco-tourism?? Tourism has it's own issues of pollution and cultural degradation, along with commercialization.
-
@notme222 for sure homie ;)
sorry for sounding rude, that was not my intention. i'm sure you're an alright bloke
-
@nublex , Any chance you could follow me around and criticize all my comments? It makes me look _so good_ by comparison!
Please?
-
@notme222 haha you yankee douchebag :D it left you "unclear" cuz you're a dimwit, the sentence makes perfect sense. i'll add that if instead of saying how great of a work he has done you notice a bad sentence then what the fuck is your life about anyway
-
@Kargoneth Why?
-
@Kargoneth In complete agreement with you there. Shame that in most cases in Africa they can't aford to buy condoms and other forms of birth control. I wonder if they have free condom stands.
-
@countryroo123 reference* Sorry!
-
@Moirera Surley whitey is as racist as blackey.
BTW: I compleatly agree with you...I've just objecting to the referance.
-
@Kargoneth Keep in mind that even condoms only are 97% secure. Abstinence is the only 100% guarantee.
-
@Moirera Yes you are right in saying he does manage to do something which many developed nations have failed to achieve but my point is saying had he not been from Namibia or had he not been black, then I don't believe he would have had the audience so engaged or interrested.
and I don't see how you can sense "white insecurity" as never do I say his achievements arn't big and i can admit i've not managed to do anything big in my life. Also i'm asian so my race is kind of similiar to his...
-
@Anantko I would say no based on a combination of engelheim's answer and my own answer.
-
@belliebum12 I think I would agree with @engelheim in saying a white man wouldn't be as inspirational allthough i think your right in saying a white person wouldn't be able to give this talk but still i don't exactly think you have a yes or no answer either do you?
