Yes of course.

Oh and btw, human lives are worth nothing in Africa - so don't ever fucking go there lol

Cancelling my vacation now...

I have heard of it, yes.

Amazing what you can learn while reading.

what were you reading when you came across that? I've listened to almost 400 audio books since last year.... never heard the name....before that I read at least 2-3 novels a week for 30+ years and never heard the name mentioned as well as reading extensively books on religion and war, plus hours spent on Wikipedia tracing civilizations and langue history and origins... never heard the name....weird...

I have heard of it, but that is pretty much it.

<- canceling vaca plans

They have no oil...

it's a pretty much useless country in Africa that many people try to get away from but who are not welcome anywhere else

Kevin the Bacon man mentioned it in the Lord of War (movie), in the scene where they were shipping attack helicopter.

statistics is the past!

weird, I've never heard the name of the country but I have heard the name of the capital, Oogadoogoo.

of course there's always a chance I read that name in a Dr. Suess book.

I read a new book every 2-3 days, listen to an audio book every month and watch the news daily and have never heard of it either :)

The news. I also like to look at maps (goes well with your civilizations and origin history.) Read something strange in the news about a country, look it up on the map, you can't help but notice other countries in the surrounding area.

Case in point: Burkina Faso is in West Africa. Had I been researching Ebola and the countries impacted by this year's Ebola outbreak, I would have been blind to not see Burkina Faso.

did no research on ebola myself and seldom look to Africa.. mostly western and eastern Europe...for instance

It's next to Niger.

racist....

Upper Volta renamed, man...

I'm sure that's degrading in some why.... over my head though... have you jumped the sly insult shark?????

I always wonder how you keep a job when you're so hostile and deeming to the people in your 'customer pool' always puzzled me ..I personally would NEVER use any service you represent ...BUT guess that doesn't even concern someone so fucking wonderful :2 cents:

you asshole....I saw that too :1orglaugh

It's Burkifa Nassau, a redlight district in the bahamas

Africa is just fucked. There is no hope.

Bro stance,...:winkwink:

You guys are all wrong and looking at outdated maps.

Its called durka durkastan now

A lifetime ago, in school, I learned it as that name...LOL...but not too long ago saw it had been changed.
I always thought "Volta" was a goofy name to be in a country name.
Reminds me of a comic character! :1orglaugh

no problem, people from burkina faso dont know where is usa or europe :winkwink:
