    Islamic facism I would say. I recently read a book of Gilles Kepel that said it is really nothing to worry about, but I fear the worst.

    You are really fast.

    One remark: Please do not vote "bugs in RTW". This one is obvious!

    Poverty, poverty, poverty. It is a disgrace and an embarrassment on all of us that we allow so much poverty and suffering to continue, it is the biggest problem facing the world and has been for some time. We might be on track to start solving the problems in terms of Africa, let us hope it works.

    And don't worry, not that many actually play R:TW in this part of the forum

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    When it comes to poverty, Africa is the biggest problem with the easiest solution. No more dumping of that stuff we grow here. They would still have to learn how not to slice eachother in pieces, but having something to eat helps.

    You are really fast.

    Ignoring your predicatable racism / xenophobia I will state that I agree with you that we need to stop dumping our excess on their markets for cheap prices, it is totally abhorrent that we do it.

    I voted for overpopulation. If we learn to stop increase or to reduce population to an reasonable limit most of the other problems will be solved or can be solved easily.

    Fundamentalism in all its forms, with totalitarianism a close second, and probably poverty as a third.

    I don't think overpopulation is such a big problem, we can produce quite a lot if we have to.

    And I agree with JAG and Fragony we need to stop dumping our stuff, we should just destroy it like we used to.
