Quote:yes.. Ethiopia is STAGE 4! we aint seen anything like this here. think of this corollary - the Luos are blocked by a Kikuyu goverment from everything government. No representation? they are killed by a Kikuyu army. Luos run in the olympics and use that stage to make plea to the world to look at Story yao kwao... AND YOU STILL THINK THEIR SOCIAL/POLITICAL SITUATION IS BETTER THAN OURS? pris spare me...
Quote:I understand that you and others who benefit from this state of affairs or have an emotional attachment to tribal voting will always defend this system.
So you think Oromos protesting at the Olympics is worse than Kenyans hacking each other with matchetes in front of the whole world?
You think being blocked from government is worse than 1000 people dying and 3000 more being displaced?
Since when is being blocked from government worse than dying?
And Kenya security forces have been killing protesters. In fact the number of Kenyan protesters who have been killed by security forces is likely much higher than Ethiopia.
So how again is Kenya a stage 1 cancer?
Quote:I also noticed you skived the ethipian dam issue since you looked it up and found i was on the level! in it's place you decided to throw an ad hominem my way as a red herring i.e.
I did not bother addressing your dam issue since it is of no relevance to this discussion. So what if Egypt is not pleased with Ethiopia building a dam? What does that have to do with this discussion?
The point I was making is that Ethiopia is spending money on building infrastructure which in turn drives their GDP growth.
Their spending as a percentage of GDP is the highest in Africa. Kenya on the other hand is spending money on making tenderpreneurs rich at the instead of development projects.
Quote:but i will address it anyway. I have studied you - Of course anyone who opposes your hasty generization is on the other side... too sucked in to see the "truth". We cannot convince you on this. Nor do I even strive to 'convince you' no one gets convinced on the internet - What I strive to do is beat you with facts. Of course you will generate some red herrings with hope that we will forget the issues we had raised before... but it may not always work. it didn't work today!
If you are studying me then you have too much time on your hands. Go get a real job instead of playing amateur psychologist.
And you have never beaten me with any facts. All you do on wazua is defend tribal voting even when it is clear that tribalism is detrimental to the country. You deny the obvious and bury
Quote:On a different note? By the way, who the hell ever said Elections are not supposed to be "unifying" by design... they are wars. Everywhere on the plane. they are just one step above wars. Who said elections are supposed to be about issues? who? who dictates to an individual what is of greatest importance to them
This is your typical twisted logic. In civilized countries, elections are indeed about issues and elections do not turn into wars. The fact that you say elections are not supposed to be about issues is just
another example of you taking a ridiculous position and defending it. You do this on virtually all threads in which you participate.
