• Going to Mali for a vacation is about as bright as going to North Korea.

• Blaming the peaceful mooselimbs? You racist!

• Why would anyone in their right minds vacation in an African country????

  • Some are actually pretty westernized ("safe")... I don't know jack squat about Mali and those that you would think are cool like South Africa, it is battling Sweden as the rape country of the world.... so... (I mean men are raped by women in South Africa... it is just wow)... any case... those that are westernized and if you go with a group to an enclosed location it maybe ok...

    • Sorry you can't rape an unwilling man.

      • Apparently you can in South Africa... and Poppa dear... there IS anal rape. Men can be raped by other men and by women.

        • Ok, but when you say women raping men, I don't think anal.

        • You can take an object and vaginally and anally rape a person instead of or when you don't have an organic equipment Poppa. Also there are men (not just boys) who can be molested with hands (and so on) in addition or instead of anal rape, they can be kidnapped (which is what happened to the guy I mentioned) and so on and so forth. Your thinking my dear Poppa is a little antiquated... just saying. :-D

        • What can I say, I'm old school.

          Bitsh needs defenestration.

• Have you notice that the world all in all have had no real peace from Islam, almost since the beginning of Islam?

  • Matthew 7:15-16 -- "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits."

    • Indeed...

      There maybe some gaps of "peace" and in some cases we went looking for a fight ourselves ("first"), but if you take the history of the USA minus the first 20 something years, we as a country have been in hot and cold wars with different Islamic countries and with Islam itself... sometime/most of the time without us realizing it.

      Muslim countries were part WWI and WWII and I believe there were some who were on Allies' side but there were many who were on the Central and Axis sides... Europe has been in forever war with Islam/Ottoman Empire/etc. Our first true international war being The First Barbary War... I mean... Islam is like the enemy of the Planet.

      Yes.... not all Muslims... blah blah blah

• can we fit 10%-15% of all Muslims in Mali? The country can be a no go zone for the world.

  BTW, Isn't this the same Mali who has planes falling out of the sky?

• I don't know shit about Mali but I bet it's Muslims causing the trouble.

  • From Wikipedia:

    "...the continuing Northern Mali conflict where there is a tension between both Tuaregs and the Malian government, and the Tuaregs and radical Islamists who are trying to establish sharia law."

    So there you go.
