Colonialism... which is worse?

[Richard]

Would you advocate independence for French Guyana?

[Jake]

I don't care. Certainly, South Africa was better before Mandela's socialists/communists took over.

On the poll...option two.
On the thread question...if the French Guianans wanted Independence, sure.

I'll be the first to admit I know almost nothing about the political situation in French Guyana.  I know its capital city is Cayenne, but that's it.

Why isn't there an option 4 that says the same thing as #3 but has a "D" next to it? I love England and France so I've always been a little hesitant to just bash colonialism b/c it was the popular thing to do.

As far as I know French Guiana is not oppressed except for the Devil's Island prison. I may be wrong but its only non-French inhabitants are nomadic Amazonian tribes. Its incredibly wrong to compare that situation to Apartheid-era South Africa.

Really??? Ignoramus!!

this is almost as unimportant as the Northern Ireland conflict.

but everyone should care about Zionism though, right?

what is unimportant to you is important to others and vice versa, stayingaza.

I give a damn about colonialism (R).  Colonial powers should be given their self determination- the same rights the U.S. Founding Fathers fought for and secured.
