That photograph is really, really, really disingenuous.

That 2000 years ago the Romans were building great cities and coliseums, water ducts and sewers; and in African today most people still live in grass huts.

I've got a theory about that.
I think that's because in the past (Ice Age) we Europeans need to scavenge for food and were fighting for survival. During that time all people in Africa just had food and stuff around. They didn't have to do a lot to get it unlike the Europeans. We needed to fight for it to stay alive...that's why we're a bit more developed compared to Africa.

Jason ON I do stay in Africa and the whole issue must be appreciated in context..from plundering of resource by western nations to slave trade blah blah blah..the fact that i was one of the first users on Google Plus in Africa on an android device on a 3g network should tell you something yes we have our own problems but you must understand the whole picture before making blanket assumptions

Using your hypothesis Gerben van Erkelens, then the Africans would have had more spare time to create more cities, art and philosophy.

Yup, but they became lazy because the weather was good, food was all around....why would they :D

Kevin Omondi, I do understand the history and the social-economics that keep most of Africa a 3rd world nation. I just thought the picture showed situation very accurately.

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked people who have overtly spammed a thr...
