It's alright. Just don't use the term 'bipolar' as a comparison for drastic mood shifts. I have bipolar type 1, and I don't like it when people use the term to describe sudden mood changes or the inability to decide.

Please don't use the word 'bipolar' on a whim. It's a real disease that haunts a lot of people. Go read up on it if you don't understand what it entails.

I'm officially convinced that you're notably blind and deaf as fuck. Getting old must suck.

I will if you will. Oh, my bad. I forgot you already said you won't donate... I guess you aren't as honourable and giving as you purport to be.

Are you 'right now in Africa'? If so, please state your location. I will gladly bring you a bottle of water. Maybe then you can shut up. Or you can just shut up now because you clearly don't come from Africa, so yeah. That says it all.

Goodbye,
I hope we never meet again.

You really think you're doing something cool here, huh? Stating numbers and all. Congratulations, you win a bread. 🥖

You believe they'll be happy? Have you interviewed these said Africans? Tell me, if the whole world were to show their 'struggles', do you think it would be eradicated? No, young one. Because we live in a world of see something, say something. Not see something, do something.

You made the suggestion to donate to Africa, because according to you we don't have water. But now you're saying you won't donate? Weren't you the same person boasting about having humanitarian rights? What a hypocrite you are.

Maybe you need to stop thinking you know everything, maybe you need to stop hiding behind your little screen and book a flight ticket to Africa. You can choose any country, I'll even give you recommendations. But when you do arrive, and your feet has touched African soil, then I may be inclined to listen to what you have to say. But your eyes have only seen the pixilated Africa. So until until your eyes have been blessed with the real Africa, your words will remain as meaningless as the gum beneath my shoe. Bye.

Oh f*ck off. Obviously you are not aware of the reality of - well, Africa. We do actually have water. I know you've been googling 'poor people in Africa' and 'no water=Africa'. So why not change it up a bit? Instead, Google: The Africa you don't see. It'll shock you, for sure.

Ranting for nothing? Tell me, do you live in Africa? Have you been to any of those countries you mentioned? You know that South Africa is in Africa right? Do you realize that there are countries all over the world struggling more with 'lack of reliable water resources' than those in Africa? Tell me, why did they choose to shoot in a desolate part of Africa? Why shit, I don't know... maybe because it substantiates the Eurocentric belief that Africa is underprivileged. That Africa does not have what other countries have. That Africa needs their 'help', because, without them, Africa can't have water. Oh please. Go read up on Africa before colonialism took place. There was water before and there is water after. WE ARE NOT LACKING ANYTHING. So tell me, why did they not shoot in the community a few miles away, where there is a mall with electricity and running water? Why shoot in the outskirts? Why shoot in an empty field where you cannot see any houses or shopping centers, or anything remotely 'civilised'? Why did they use a country in Africa? Is it because they think Africa doesn't have water? Spoiler, we do. And like any other country and continent, when there is a drought, there isn't any water. So why make it seem as though Africa is the sole continent that doesn't have ANY running water and that it lacks basic civil necessities? Why not use a country in America? Or one in Europe? Or Asia? Or Australia? It's about the way that Africa is still perceived by outsiders. But while you're at it, why don't you go donate too?

No, I couldn't finish it. I dropped it right after the Africa incident.

I don't think 'growing up' is in their lexicon. People with the same thought-tracks as them need to understand that we're all in the same boat. No one is more advantaged than the other. And having more doesn't necessarily mean you are more.

Yes, I've also noticed how they rope India into this skewed ideology too. It's absolutely disgusting. And what they don't realize is that the most talented people come from the countries they label as: insignificant; underdeveloped and in need of their 'help'.

Less than five minutes into the first episode, I can say that I'm absolutely disgusted at the way this insolent bastard of a scriptwriter has portrayed Africa. First and foremost, Africa is a continent, not a country. There are so many countries in Africa - and yet most people still discern it as being one, big-ass country. NO. Africa is a multifaceted, culturally diversified CONTINENT, with MANY ethnicities. This, among other things, proves to me just how uneducated he/she [the scriptwriter] is. The notion that Africa has no water must stop. The notion that Africa is an underprivileged continent in need of help must stop. The notion that Africa is a poverty-stricken, uncivilized, uncouth, primitive, destitute, indigent, and disadvantaged CONTINENT must stop. I, myself, come from South Africa. I was born and raised on that continent; I still occupy it. We have the same f*cking things that any other continent might have. No, we don't live in huts, we live in three-story houses. BUT the only thing that's different from us, is that we don't portray other continents as being needful and lacking. As is evident from the aforementioned, I can vouch that it's much more than outsiders perceive it to be. So whoever wrote this clusterfuck of a script, I implore you to go do some extensive research, or - I don't know, maybe actually GO to Africa IN PERSON and see how skewed your ideology really is.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who read it as 'Shitting Stars', instead of... 'Shooting Stars'? 🤭

Thanks!
