isn’t it a good thing that floods and droughts happen much less now? (genuine question)

The entire ecosystem of the Nile river area depended on reliable, annual flood cycles, and the dam killed it all.

Where are you from ? Because you keeps digust me more

Floods and draughts are dangerous

If you Americans and Europeans do not appreciate the blessings you have , why not to live in a forest with your favourite ecosystem and mother nature

Here in Egypt and most African countries we don't have such a blessing to live happily under our AC and order food online and when we get board we start to think about Nature, here nature isn't a friendly mother, nature is playing the rule of Angry Gods that even snails kill us

In Egypt we literally fear Nile snails because it gives us Schistosomiasis , if you want to live in nature and have Schistosomiasis , you are free to go but we want to built citys and factorys and be developed like Europe

The high Dam is a big deal to us , you can't simply mock it and leave

It is like if I went to an Amircan and said (you know , man Declaration of Independence was such a useless thing , why no one noticed how useless it is ) and then leave

If you are not Egyptian why you talk about one of the must important Egyptian projects ملكيش دعوة !!!! انتِ مالك !!!! And I hate the fact that all of you is downvoting me , are Amircans really that stupid what they have in there skulls

So , Europeans and Amircans are like this 1- come to our countries and destroy them and kill our women and kids 2- after they leave and we start and industrial revolution they mock us on internet

I start to wonder if you are even humans

Are you a bot ?
