^Hahaha, you're crazy.. I had a potna back in the days who used to fantasize about fucking a Cartoon bitch, ain't that some real freaky fetish shit? lol! Naw, I feel you though, it's much easier to fantasize about a voice since the voice is real..
IF I WAS IgNORANT, I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THE CHARACTERS WERE REAL AND THAT WAS THEIR VOICES. SAYIN' THAT, WHOEVA DID DRAW THE ANIMATED CHARACTERS DID A gOOD JOB, CAUSE THE FEMALES DID HAVE SOME ATTRACTIVE FEATURES(BETTER THAN JESSICA RABBIT). AND IF SHIT WAS REAL OR CARTOON CHARACTERS COULD MATERIALIZE, I WOULD BE POUNDIN' IT ON THEM FRENCH EgYPTIAN FEMALE CARTOON CHARACTERS. BUT THAT'S A TRIP HOW THE MIND WORKS AND HOW LUST COULD BE MADE BY ANIMATIONS.

PM I just got that's relevant to the thread..

I saw your topic about Africa and I noticed you are intrested in the history of Africa and it's people.
I saw and read a few things and been to Egypt aswell I saw in your post that the Egyptians were not the only higly civilized culture in Africa. There has been several in the past thousands of years. For me I think this is really intresting aswell.. but I was wondering... If Africa gave birth to so many highly advanced civalizations how come when europeans first came (back) to Africa all they found was bushman and woman and nomands... not a trace was left of these highly ancient civalizations. Like they all disapeard and started all over again or something.. My question to you is: what happend?

How come all these civalizations simply were no more..
It can't be like in South America like a inquisition because when Europeans came to Africa the civilizations were not there anymore...

I asked you this because I'm intrested a lot in history and cultures.

Thanks!.
Seems like an honest question, but I will have to correct you on your assumptions, most likely due to ignorance (no offense). Maybe you should of read the entire list in the thread first before addressing this..

^It amazes me sometimes that people don't know this stuff, it's common knowledge to Africans. South America is of course an entirely different situation and didn't compare anyways imo, no bias involved...
