  2. Ankita has the first insightful comment I've read on this thread. The video is very misleading. The NK woman says she lives better now than an executive in NK.
    33
  3.  @vegandolls  K. She said she lives better than executives in North Korea. Perhaps we watched different videos.

  4. Ellen, you didn't catch from the video that the South Korean govt. is giving them plenty of money to live on?

  7. Dmitry, can you give us any examples of your supposed "looting" of Africa? Perhaps you weren't aware until now that former colonies actually cost more for the European nations than they got out of them?

  8.  @HealndTide  Heal, so you just ignore the first comment on this thread that specifically shows that blaming colonizers, like many Africans do, for their problems, is just an excuse for failure, as Singapore too was once a colony.

  9. Why does Kemi believe Bloomberg, a company heavily on the take from the Chinese?

  10. Hiro, comparing tiny Singapore's transportation system with huge countries' is not conducive to learning anything.

  11.  @tammyleung7578  Tammy, that is not true, as some of the NK defectors I know are accepted in America.

  13.  @RedCommissar  Red, your attempt to overturn the truth that someone bashing Capitalism while using Capitalisitic company's products is being a hypocrite - is poorly done, and fails.

  15.  @prithvisukka9271  Prithvi, I do not understand why so many people are against the IMF, when it has done so much to help countries. There are many success stories - such as Korea, Tunisia, Morocco, Serbia etc., so why all the hate? Is it because many corrupt countries don't want to reform?

  19. ezermt, your comment is mostly correct, but we need to remember that humans are the number one natural resource every country has.

  24.  @JAM661  Jenifer, there are many organizations to help defectors. The rest of your comment is spot-on. . Even better would be if they accept Jesus Christ, and find purpose in their life, and receive eternal life.

  25. Max, congratulations on getting everything wrong about economics.

  26.  @ngweso  joy continues to wallow in self-pity. The facts are that colonialism helped the colonised countries come into the modern age and away from barbarism.

  31.  @maxmercor5772  Max, just stop the lying. Shame on you. Almost nothing you've written on this thread is true. What is wrong with your education?

  32.  @maxmercor5772  Max wrote: " Korea and Japan are both technologically advanced countries with major export partners, they shouldn't even need any foreign loan. But guess what they do have, tons of unwanted military bases on their land." and then makes the audacious claim that is from the "official IMF site". . Well, Max, I appreciate your openness in showing us all that you are not serious about what you are writing, but sad that your lies may have hurt someone else beside yourself.

  33.  @joaocosta3374  João, You speak truth! Look at Japan, look at Taiwan, look at Korea. All of them have gotten rich by working with each other and Western nations, having little corruption, and having fair and honest elections. . Sadly, most African countries fail on all of those points, so are not able to attract much long-term capital. It is fact that most of the railroads and paved highways in Africa were created when Europeans were in leadership positions.

  35. ZZZ didn't listen or view the video well. Basically, the infrastructure that Africa has now was built under colonial rule. Now that you know that fact, what will you do with it?

  36. @Jat03 Jat, Bloomberg is on the Chinese take. Which is why they gave you their take on this. Nothing surprising, really.

  37.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Manikarnika seems jealous that millions of Africans left Africa, and don't want to go back.

  38.  @RAIDENCHEEKS  Afro, Easy, do a search on "Bloomberg's business in China has grown" . Here's an excerpt: "The billionaire, whose core business sells financial information to investors, has led efforts since 2015 to make it easier for U.S. companies to trade in Chinese currency, a move embraced by China’s largest banks. He expanded one of his company’s financial indexes, which could steer $150 billion into China while earning his firm an undisclosed amount in fees. All told, mainland China accounts for 1 percent of Bloomberg LP’s revenue and Hong Kong for another 4 percent."

  56.  @rap3208  tuks makes fantastic, conspiracy theory statements to attempt to hide the fact that South America is generally corrupt, thus inhibiting investment. Maduro is one of the most corrupt in South America in the last 30 years. That's probably why his country is getting worse by the day.

  61.  @kageyamareijikun  kagey, you certainly know a lot about Japan. I'm surprised to see someone so knowledgeable, as most people turn the other way when I tell them truths like what you have given. . I love Japan, but there are many, many problems, and there is little interest to even admit the problems, let alone work to fix them.

  63.  @sarabeth8050  sarabeth, I'm so sorry that you have allowed the mass media to lie to you. . Here are some facts to help you get up to date: "You might be interested in a paper by Kurt Larson, a now retired USGS geologist written some 20 years ago. He evaluated data from core-sampled coastal river sediments and peat bogs along the east coast from Long Island Sound to Delaware and found that sea level rise in this region has been between 1 and 2 mm/year for the last 6,000 years with no evidence for acceleration during that time. The study is Larson and Clark. “A Search for Scale in Sea-level Studies”, Journal of Coastal research, July 2006." . "SAN FRANCISCO / TIDES OF HISTORY / Presidio gauge has measured the bay’s rise and fall for 150 years Over the years, the gauges also showed a gradual rise in the sea level — eight inches in 150 years. However, there was also a period of 38 years, ending in 1913, when the sea level declined. " . The Boston Globe, a mass-media outlet breathlessly lied to its readers that: "The record-breaking sea level is yet another data point showcasing a decades-long trend that is accelerating at a startling pace. As climate change worsens, the shoreline along much of the city will need new flood protections, such as berms, sea walls, and restored marshlands, as early as 2030, the latest available data provided by Boston plainly show. As 2030 approaches, climate resilience experts told the Globe, the rapidly accelerating pace of sea level rise necessitates action." . While in the real world, using observed data, we see that: " The acceleration of Boston sea level rise over the last 30 years has been … well … not to put too fine a point on it … basically zero. Zip. Nada. Nothing."

  64. Communists never run anything successfully long-term. It isn't possible, as the checks and balances are missing in a one-party system.
