    Why is South America and Africa poor?

    Why are they poor? Do they not want to live the Western style way of life? I love the Western lifestyle. I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want the Western lifestyle. Should we promote the Western lifestyle to South Americans and Africans? For example build more video game manufacturers in South America and Africa.

    Dude! you need to put down the video gam and take a step back.

    These nations are poor do to their tribal nature and the anarchy that is produced by it.

    So tell me what do you think you would think about if you did not have electricity, a refrigerator, clean water, a safe and secure place to sleep?

    do you think that the next video game would be high on your list of things to do

    We need to get rid of their tribal attitudes. How do we get them to like the Western lifestyle?

    Education, something we clearly lack over here.

    And common sense, which again clearly can't be taught.

    Your parents need to get rid of your stupid video games. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Sure, I'd say most average Americans do.

    I'm playing a CivIII campaign right now. Me and the wife play a lot of Tomb Raider stuff together, and some Myst/Uru games.

    I'm going to play Final Fantasy VII again for the umpteenth time soon.
