Re: Nelson Mandela
Like Bismarck and Cavour before him, not so much an outstanding individual as the perfect embodiment of the times.
Is there for honest poverty
That hangs his heid and a' that
The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be puir for a' that.

Well, you hardly think he was going to say "Get out of my fucking way, will you!". Most politicians need basic courtesy to get by. :hum:

Re: Nelson Mandela
Someone on a different forum:
Now it can be argued that these things are not Mandela's fault, but it did happen on his watch.Look at the great Nelson Mandela ,he fought the South-African racism ,won the fight and came to power.Where is South-Africa now? A crime and Aids and poverty stricken country.

Re: Nelson Mandela
It was mostly the twat who followed him that was the problem. And of course the whites who kept the blacks uneducated are now reaping the rewards of that policy.leo-rcc wrote:Someone on a different forum:

Re: Nelson Mandela
Just playing devil's advocate for a second - what about the blacks themselves? Do they hold no responsibility for turning the country in to a basket case?CJ wrote:It was mostly the twat who followed him that was the problem.
