Just when you think you can sit back and try to enjoy the peacefulness you desperately sought after, the world overwhelms you with its conflicts, hatred and despair of normal life...

 

And General Insanity creeps in Every day....

--> Imperialism is just Ball Play <--

Food for Thought:

The World Cup wasn't just an Entertainment thing..
Thought about it more and, of course, imperialism sprung to mind. I just think it's so fascinating that imperialism is so rampant even today, especially in the sporting arena.

Take the French team: Zidane from Algeria and Vierra from Senegal.. and the rest of the team are from the many other ex-French colonies. I think there are only 2 true blue French players.
And the German one? - Klose is from Poland and he's not the only Pole bought. Poland which was conquered by the German Third Reich in the second World War has lost other Polish football players to the aggressive German team.

Isn't it the same then- that the people from ex-colonies are still being exploited for skill and 'labour'? Granted, people aren't chained and whipped or helping in sugar plantations in this day and age but whoever says imperialism has been eradicated has some more thinking to do..
