After a century of receiving our charity, Your brilliant argument falls down in the very first phrase. The colonial powers stripped their colonies of their wealth and resources and for the most part left the subjugated peoples with a wrecked economy, socially disfunctional and with no satisfactory political structure to build a nation on. It has never been charity - at best, it's been reparations or damages. Now go away. Denis

this _link_ will change your life. i give you the gift of disillusionment , if this dosent change your weltanschauung nothing will. Plenty of things have changed the way people look at the world, but this site certainly doesn't. Of course photographs are sometimes modified, faked, multi-used or doctored. Practically every image you see in a newspaper is touched up. In the millions of words and illustrations written about the massacre of Jews and other minorities under Hitler, you are bound to turn up some that are wrong and misleading, but the overwhelming body of evidence is not. Are you trying to suggest that millions of people under Hitler were not worked to death and deliberately exterminated under Hitler? How does the claim that some of the evidence is gilding the lily make the fundamental facts any different? Denis

the evidence is gilding the lily make the fundamental facts any different? Denis These people are not interested in facts, Denis. What they are trying to do is mask their own fundamental insecurities. If they can attach themselves to those they see as strong, they can feel strong. Facts have nothing to do with it. Jim Purdie

there was more freedom of speech in nazi germany than in modern germany.... Absolute and offensive garbage. I have lived there for years and I know what I'm talking about. Tell that to the families and surviving friends of the thousands of people who tried to have freedom of speech & then faced Freisler in the Volksgerichtshof (People's Court) and were subsequently beheaded [Munich-Stadelheim] or hanged [Berlin-Ploetzensee] .. What of the young and innocent  members of the White Rose?, - a group of Uni Students whose ONLY CRIME was trying to exercise Freedom of Speech by publishing leaflets in a desperate attempt to bring the truth of a tyrannical regime into focus for a less-aware public. They, in their late teens, were dragged into the Courthouse in Munich 1943, screamed at by the Blood Judge {Roland Freisler}  - told they had earned nothing but death (For freedom of speech - Mr Wallace) and then immediately with absolutely no option of appeal, transported to Munich-Stadelheim execution prison and beheaded two hours after arrival by the Fallbeil (Guillotine). I have stood in that actual courtroom and I have visited the grave of the leader of that particular resistance movement, (Sophie Scholl) You have no idea.. This is but one tragic example of over a hundred cases of the absolute denial of freedom of speech - (all with fatal outcomes), that I have personally studied and examined in depth. I have faced modern-day punk-nazis in Deutschland and have on two occasions almost gotten myself killed in very ugly confrontations. 20,000 uniformed Wehrmacht hingerichtet, (executed), - what other army *anywhere* in history has killed so many of their own. [none] So - With ALL due respect,  Mr Wallace, - Please don't waste the time of us that -really- know, with superficial, ignorant, contrived garbage, - It doesn't cut ice with me, and it sure as hell wouldn't with anyone else with any real knowledge and experience in this area. eom. ===========================================================

pierced the upper lip and introduced small _meta_l shields or rings. Mittu women thrust wooden pegs through the lips. In other tribes, sticks of rock crystal were pushed through, which jingled together as the wearer talked. Senegalese women increased the thickness of the upper lip by pricking until it was permanently swollen. This presumably renders them irresistible if you can tell the difference. In Indo-China, the Mois of Annam, the Penangs of Cambodia, and the Dyaks of Borneo extended their ear lobes by the insertion of wooden disks and _meta_l rings and weights until they sometimes reached the shoulder. African and Asian earrings sometimes weighed half a pound. The natives of the Zambesi distended the perforation in the lobe of the ear until the fist could pass through it. The Monbuttos carried rolls of leaves, leather, or cigarettes in their ears. The Papuans, the natives of the New Hebrides, and most Melanesian peoples carried all sorts of things in their ears. The New Caledonians used their ears as pipe racks. The Berawana of Borneo wore ear plugs 3 and ¾ inches in diameter. A stone Masai ear plug in the British Museum measures 4 and ½ inches in diameter and weighs 2 lbs 14 oz. With the miniaturization of portable radios, this will leave the hands free to mug people. In New Zealand, earrings were decorated with the teeth of enemies; among the Masai, the lobes were stretched so as to be capable of meeting above the head. The multiculturalists will look simply smashing with their ears in a knot. In New Guinea, pieces of bone or flowers were thrust through the septum of the nose, a mutilation also practised by New Zealanders, Australians, New Caledonians, and other Polynesians. The African Bagas and Bongos wore _meta_l rings and buckles in their noses. The Aleutian Islanders wore cords, bits of _meta_l or amber in their noses. Unmarried Ababde girls wore no rings in their noses (since most American blacks are
