I hope you're proud to support this type of thing :-)

I would never support front page mag, I don't know where you get your ideas from:har:

You should see the movie, 'Last King of Scotland'.. brilliant movie.. very close to the 'bone'. Forest Whitaker is really believable.. You'll like it :up:

Has it got Mel Gibson in it?

I'll ask one question if Imay....

What has a movie about Amin got to do with Nelson Mandela?

Both black. :smug:

You simply don't understand africa... see this as an education.

Idi Amin ...A good doccy

Just when you thought you knew all about Africa... This shocked me too

Actually Idi is blacker than Nelson. There is a difference you know, and it also determines a lot of things, which I won't bother with. Yup! Shades do seem to make a difference. :03: Come live in Africa - you'll learn.

guys.....just quit it......comparing mandela with idi amin...wtf....

next step mugabe ? ....and then the hutus against the tutsis in ruanda in 1994 ? ...seems a litte far fetched for me...

(although i have to agree that "last king of scotland" or "hotel ruanda" are great movies)

....bright future for africa with all these guys running around....i guess that's why this is really getting off-topic here..

IMO, without mandela south africa would already have been in a civil war or a third world country like zimbabwe or ruanda....

he was able to forgive after 27 years prison, achieved a truce with buthelezi (inkatha party) and therefore avoided more bloodshed....and formed some kind of democracy with a new, modern constitution...and that is something to be respected (even if he had his faults like all of us..)

the outcome of it all ?? future will tell....

What always confused me is South African penguins, are they bleck or white?

Black and Blue if the police got hold of them. :O:

I am still waiting on someone to actually provide a documentable example of anything "good" the guy actually did.

He didn't write the constitution. He didn't end apartheid (he was in prison, remember?), he didn't renounce violence to gain power, and after the end of apartheid - crime and violence in the nation drastically increased. Yes - during his time as "president" as well. He and his wife invented "necklaciing". He personally signed off on the Church Street Bombing. He wrote a book on how to be a good communist - and then banked over $1.5 Million - proving that he was a fraud on top of it. Oh - and he wasn't in prison for 27 years - he served 9 years on "house arrest" in an upscale market district of Johannesburg - living in luxury while his own people suffered.

So what was the "good" he did again?

Only if they was lucky, otherwise they might have their genitalia cut off then their flippers amputated with an oxy acetylene torch before being shot in the head...at which point they could miraculously walk into town where they would plant a bomb and accidently blow themselves up in an act of terrorism :hmmm:

But lets be positive, there are good things to say about the one party rule of the white supremacist state which existed since 1948.
It has been removed from the map and consigned to the dustbin of history:woot:

That's a real doozy from Haplo

Wow Mandela had a Tardis, its the only possible explanation for his 9 years luxury prison in Jo'burg.:O:
I never realised he signed his name as Oliver Tambo when they bombed the Air Force HQ.
And he invented necklacing, I hope he took out a patent in those 6 monthly letters.

When people write such obvious lies how can anyone take them seriously:nope:
