In terms of acquiring a souvereign territory - yes. In terms of shaping a society - no.

--- Quote from: Mogul on Sun, Oct 10, 2010, 14:19 ---Africa is big, and there are several regions with moderate climatic conditions (mountains, sea shore). The political situation is, of course, more hostile to Gays than in Europe or Canada. But politics change (for better or worse). Not to forget, Europeans were the ones who imported both the Bible and the homophobia to Africa.

Yes I get your point about the space.... but no way! Except maybe South Africa which scores highly on gay rights etc... Plus there is a gay culture there among the cape couloured people.
We certainly imported the bible but I'm not so sure about the homophobia?

I very much agree about the extreme temperatures! The whole point of the project would be to improve the quality of peoples lives!!
Going through the UN processes is a little naive, I have to say. It would never be taken seriously in a million years...
Also I am going nowhere, NOWHERE! Near Africa... It would be a massacre for sure!!!
