Rohade wrote: You did, and I showed your post to other people and they found it offensive as well. As I said, you talk about those things as if they were a common and present danger, they are not. You should visit a third world country (I was born in a third world country in south america and we call it like that) some day and realize they have internet, and cable, and people live everyday life like everwhere in the world. There is a small population, very small, livling in tribes, most of them are even peaceful. As I said, you saw too much news and you think its very common but realize they are news for a reason, because they are exceptional events. There are murders everywhere but clean water, zones free of malaria and people not killing each other just because they are in a tribe, is the exception in a very very small percentage of the population. Is like being afraid of moving to LA because you think there will be an earthquake everyday, that would be foolish, and you dont see third world people waking up and being thankful to God because they are not sucked by an earthquake.

Is like giving thanks for not being crushed by a meteorite. And as I said, all of my friends who lived or live in third world country who have seen this, said even less polite things that I wont dare to post here, they were really offended. Again, think of a guy in south america giving thanks everyday because he is not swallowed by an earthquake, thats the impression we get when we see a post like that.

I dont see what this discussion has to do with PQ anymore and I'm here to talk about PQ, keep believing whatever you want and thinking that everything that is south of US or whole Africa or whatever is an indiana jones movie.

Now I'm really done. Stop generalizing, and dont talk because statistics, try to visit those countries and you will be surprised to have a great experience.
