Weaponisation of Ebola by Muslim terrorists

I don't know what you mean.

I just responded to some of your points with counter points that seek to demolish the sense of a parsimonious relationship between 'aid' (define?) and population growth and variations of demographics therein.

Case in point. You mention 'Africa', and I responded saying that 'Africa' does not exist as an homogeneous entity. It's impossible to define a debate on the efficacy of aid and revenue streams generated as a result when you reduce the nature of the debate to such a simplistic base it renders the very point of the debate moot and the thoughts and views generated inert.

So, rather than keep answering id like your evidence

LOL, I could go looking for some. But then on the internet one thing is a certain, if you go looking for something you will find it.

It seems somewhat dishonest for me to do such a thing.

Dishonest to back up your views where relevant? I never knew that was even a possibility.

I would hope your data doesn't use the potential risks of doing nothing as a measurable quantity to offset the net return on outside............. suppose I'll start calling it investment instead of aid now, seeing as your going to show me we take more out than put in.

Taking out resources and hard cash generated as a result does not necessarily equate to levels of aid input.

A business from China seeking to exploit natural mineral resources in Kenya, for example, won't do so in direct proportion to the aid input into that same economy. So I don't understand your point.

I also don't understand your point about the benchmark of 'not doing anything' vis 'doing something'. I hadn't even brought that up but that's a standard benchmark for any opportunity cost so could you elucidate what you mean?

I realise I haven't specified where exactly in Africa, but then you have already supposed something in there by taking an opposing stance. So by all means.

No I haven't. SEE: First point.

You appear to be wanting to circumvent the usual methodology of debate whereby you make a claim, you back it up so I can discuss. You claimed:

The opposite is true, to the point were even the people living there can't tell the difference between their own economy and aid. If Africa ever stopped being in some need of aid entitlement, it would collapse economically.

Thus, present the facts as you see them, then we'll talk. I'm not one to be drawn in different directions unless I can get an answer to the point I was initially questioning. If my belief is right should some evidence be presented about the above we can then start moving into other areas such as the actual economies of these countries and their subsequent constraints (and indeed what causes these).
