I see no way this could ever backfire!
RE: I see no way this could ever backfire!



Emphasis below is mine; bolded blue text, Chuck; bolded green text, Drich or his source.

You said:"There is not even the slightest possibility of the farms along Nile being used to export food back to China."

By the end of the first paragraph the ny times writer says:
"Affluent countries like Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China and India have descended on fertile plains across the African continent, acquiring huge tracts of land to produce wheat, rice and corn for consumption back home."

That looks like a contradiction to me chief.

Did you not read the quotation or was it your hope I didn't read it?

ROFLOL

You said there was no way any of the crops being produced in Africa, would ever go back to china.

Having only read the last page and going only on your claims on this page, Drich, you are simply wrong. Chuck made a claim about the destination of food stuffs produced on the farms along the Nile. Your quoted author made a claim related to the entire African continent. Admittedly, the Nile plains are a substantial producing region, but they are not the whole of the African continent, not even if you only restrict it to arable farm land. And in this last page alone, between first post and last post, you claimed that Chuck said a) the Nile plain, and then, b) Africa as a whole. You cannot infer statements about the Nile plain from statements about the African continent as a whole.


You have said that, if I recall correctly, you left high school with a fourth grade reading ability. Here's a tip, Drich. After reading you more closely over the past year, it's clear that, after falling from the tree and hitting the ground, that particular apple didn't roll an appreciable amount.
