Why Africa Should Burn To The Ground , Part 2

I got into a "discussion" with a friend of mine last night about Africa. She told me she wanted to go there with the Peace Corps. I told her she is crazy, and related to her the events that my previous post was about. She got mad at me and didn't believe me about the skirt=rape beliefs they hold over there. Nothing I said could change her mind.
Africa is a bad place.
I had a friend who was from South Africa and was studying here for a year. She told me that gangs of men would roam the streets at dusk and would pull people out of their cars and rape/beat them for sport. It's so bad, all of the residential houses have security walls topped with razor wire to keep the rapers/beaters out.
It doesn't suprise me that this came across my screen today.

QUOTE FROM ARTICLE:

Some sports administrators feel players should be banned if they arrive with unusual hairdos. 'They should even be suspended for some years,' said official Ahmed Lawan.

It's good to have a soccer offical who is that fair. I think he reffed for the Kings as well.
