Pips - While the issue you brought up certainly has merit and is something to want to be an advocate for change about, it is completely off topic. Please stay focused on the topic that the thread is talking about. You are more than welcome to create another thread discussing that issue, but it has no place in this thread.

And by the way, many Americans know about Uganda. I already knew about the issue for a long time before you mentioned anything. Please don't make broad generalizations about a group of people. Those things you said about Americans are just as offensive as someone saying "All gay people have AIDS, are promiscuous, and are child molesters." The things happening in Uganda are very serious, please don't diminish their importance by including racist generalizations in the same paragraph.
