Haitians eat dirt cookies to survive?

Post by Samouth »

It was shocking watching people eating dirt to survive. i can't believe that people on this planet eat dirt to survive. I think i will have to learn more about African. It seems like i don't know much about them.

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

I am pretty much sure that you didn't read my other thread otherwise you wouldn't raise this point. :facepalm:

I think Haiti is poorer than Cambodia for the fact that we are bigger than Haiti in term of land size. We can grow rice for self-support we have never been struck by major natural disaster like earth quake and volcano.

What other thread?

Edit: never mind the other thread. In this thread you seem to think/imply that Haiti is an African country and that is not the case, hence my joke about geography.

Haiti can be compared to Cambodia in its deforestation and environmental destruction. By the way, Haiti is almost 6000 km from Africa.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Thank for pointing this out. I actually know about Haiti as the NGO i am working with is currently working there too, but I was confused with the fact that they are black. :facepalm:

Right, i can't stop laughing that i made this mistake as i pretty know about this small country in the north America. The NGO i am working with is currently working both in Haiti and Dominican Republic. I have read a few articles about our works there. :facepalm:

The other thread is Weak points of Cambodian, highlighting a lot of weak points of Cambodia.

Yeah......you've been struck by your government, and you should produce a little more than just rice for self-support.
