I'd like to conduct a little poll here in light of a near-banning I received today.

This could be your last chance to post in a thread of mine....

How about neither?  There's much better discussions to be had from other topics.  I think we've done to death the middle east, african poverty, and politics. 

Oh, and this isn't a forum for free speech, nor is free speech protected here.  But you already know that don't you.

I'm deeply concerned about poverty in Africa but I have to go with the Middle East because it's the main threat to World peace right now.

If you are interested in the Middle East read this.

I have to agree with you on these points IRONCHEF... neither topic interests me, and I'd probably be banned if I said what I really thought half the time on these forums!

Middle east is far more interesting, mainly because Africa is a simple problem, easily solved, but unsovable due to worldwide corruption.

The Middle east has more potential to blow up in all our faces. Potentially it could effects the price of fuel here, to the other extreme it could put me and my family under threat. So yeah its my top priority to watch read and debate right now.

Slightly off topic, but who set Cameron's member status to: "Bernadictus is cool"?

The motivation for this thread stems from a conflict between Cameron and the forum moderation.

*shrugs*  I'm more interested in the Middle East, because it is more strategic to global interests.  Besides, foreign policy is rarely about humanitarian efforts as much as it is about military "practice" and economics.  Once we move away from oil, the Middle East will be just another Africa wallowing in poverty.

I had it changed. It's tongue in cheek.

On the other hand, the Middle East has always been the theatre of world domination games.

Actually I find Africa is better. You can hop from West Africa across to Brazil and once you've taken that continent you've got a large force down to the South and Madagascar. Australia is the worst continent to have since you can't really do anything except fight into Siam. I don't really like the island hopping necessary in Western Europe/Iceland either. Who wants to play Risk?

Its already set up

I say the Middle East, but thats only really because i am Lebanese, and i take an interest in what happens in and around Lebanon.
If it wasnt for me being an Arab, i would probably be more concerned with Africa.

Middle East because I'm more personally engaged there than with Africa (although my uncle is Nigerian), but in many ways the problems of Africa also involve the Middle East (ie. Sudan, Northern Nigeria, Somalia, Morocco, Libya, etc.).

Holy cock n' balls that's right so you gotta be more specific when you say Africa since it does contain Middle East countries in it

This poll pretty resoundingly shows that people don't really care that much about Africa but do take an interest in conflicts in the middle east. Thanks for voting. That's all I wanted to know.
