Why Not?
Seems like a legit plan.

Ironic that Auburn boasts the only SEC related cabinet member in Zimbabwe's current government.

Don't all your gay little songs rhyme?
For the most part, yes. A strange feature, I know. Not usually found in music or poetry. Some say I'm a bit of an odd bird for that.
"Rhymes!?" They say. "Absurd! Back in my day music was discordant and monotone, with no discernible rhythm or pattern. Those were the days."
But alas, I March to the beet of a different drum...of beets.

Uh, what? Your rhyme schemes are generally ABAB. That is super common.
So since you admit that rhyming, especially like you do, is for the ignorant, I wonder what that makes you?

Did Mugabe and his crew run it into the ground after they took over? Also yes.
Mugabe ran it into the ground while building palaces for himself, while running around in motorcades of expensive cars, while his wives (a series) went off to Europe shopping.
If you haven't read Peter Godwin's books in order of time, you've missed a great seriers.
Not as detailed, but equally sad are Paul Theroux's books about east Africa; the ones written as an idealistic young man and the much more recent one when he went back to see all the good things they started...now abandoned.

You are a sad, strange person. What is it that makes you so angry? Who hurt you?

Great book detailing the downfall.
It is a great book. Alarming, but great.

What makes you think I'm angry? Just because I tell people I think they are retarded? I've read enough of your posts to know that you are exceedingly stupid, and I have no patience for your level of stupidity, especially given the amount of times I've corrected you. I've pretty much posted the same way since I got on this hellsite, and I'm not planning on changing now.

Rhodesia was actually a white supremacist regime, as a primary feature of its law.
And? Some cultures are not capable of running a country.

Yea but it’s not like they’re a thriving democracy without the white ruling class.
Their choice has been
1. White minority rule run by white democracy that lead to infrastructure, jobs and a good standard of living
2. Black dictator that murdered political opponents and lead to civil unrest, economic ruin and lack of any stability.
Either way they’re being ruled over so imo you’re better off with the lesser of two evils

Yeah I have. I have loved calling people names and shite for a long time, interspersed with long posts no one reads. I've mostly given up on the latter on this site though.

No one has touched on the origination of Rhodesia.
It was named after Cecil Rhodes. You may recognize that name…Rhodes Scholar.
Through some swindling, he was able to obtain the vast majority of mineral rights after being financed by a Rothschild.
These fricks literally made a country and took all their minerals.
Rhodes also founded De Beers. So fricking hell. I bet the Natives are a little mad.

It wasn't Rhodes alone, but also the British South Africa Company, which sanctioned the "colonization" (read: theft) of the country from its people.
So, while it is sad to see a white farmer lose a productive farm in this part of the world, its helpful to remember that his forebears likely took the property by force from the indigenous people in the 1890s and afterwards.
