So I'm to believe that, because somebody drives a car, has a nice job, and watches late night television every day (your average american), he's the moral superior of somebody who lives in a hut in Africa (your average african).

Tell me why this is true.

I'm under the impression that people, no matter where they live, and no matter what colour their skin is, are the same. Both where their intelligence level, and their moral code are concerned.

What I was trying to prove in my points, is this equality. I illustrated that we are capable of the same 'savage' actions as they are. You disagree.

Go ahead. Bring your point home, so we can continue to discuss the actual issue here - which is that of the a huge problem in africa which we've ignore far too long.
Still bullshit I'm afraid. Defending someone who eats other people is questionable as well, there's no need to waste my time explaining, you should know cannibalism is an abomination.

They could possibly be on the same I.Q. level as the average American (which admittedly is quite easy) if they had education on par with our own. Physically, you can't be on par with the average New Jersy resident if you're a starving trembling unfed mass from Somalia. Perhaps if you take them out of Africa and feed and educate them (and show them how to not kill people and eat them) they'll be "the same," but as things are, no way.

We're capable alright, but we're mostly not in a situation where we have to do terrible things. They always seem to fall on our lap, save the free world twice, save Grenada, liberate Kuwait, liberate Iraq, why doesn't your country do something about it rather then spend all their time trying to stick it to the U.S.? Hopefully they know it's a waste of time.
