Although, I admit, I would love to be able to say a guy paid for my tits.

I've never seen such a target-rich, super-bitch trolling environment.
Thanks, this will kill a lot of my free time.

I had no idea there was a market for plus-sized stripper clothes...

Somali government's existance"

This will be when the country was pulling itself apart in a civil war? Not the best period to do a comparison with. The anarchy didn't come from no-where, and you'd hope some progress would have been made since then. For a start, aid gets through now.

It's political correctness gone mad!


Apparently Anarchic Somalia is less aid-dependent by TheophileEscargot (4.00 / 1) #4 Mon Aug 13, 2007 at 08:52:20 AM EST
From his Better Off Stateless study:
Finally, in the pre-stateless period Somalia was one of the largest per capita foreign aid recipients in the world (UNDP 2001). In fact, "Pre-war Somalia was considered a classic case of an aid-dependent state" (UNDP 2001: 118). By the mid-1980s foreign aid was 58 percent of Somali GNP (UNDP 1998: 57) compared to only nine percent today (UNDP 2001). In 1987 more than 70 percent of the state’s operating budget was financed by foreign aid (Mubarak 1996). And before government collapsed, nearly 100 percent of Somali education was financed by foreign aid (UNDP 2001: 120).

How do you send aid to a place like Somalia today? It is patently obvious that Somalis today are in no position to be one of the largest beneficiaries of aid.

Do these "scholars" understand what common sense is?

Hmmmmf!
