Mandela - general discussion thread.

You were saying This is a general discussion thread about Mandela, not a tribute or showing one's respect thread!

 

Nothing, I think it shows you for what you are! Just a petty oldman high on MOD rights and own agenda!

 

oh ffs

 

Can I have what he's on? MOD stands for something else, right?

 

Had enough of derailing this thread yet? Jesus wept. Do you want some cheese with that whine?

 

Ironic, considering you are clearly on an agenda to derail this thread.

 

Yes, Some thing a MOD had taken personally, Hence why would he do that? I am sorry that my BANGING ON about a soldier brutally murdered on the streets of london is spoiling your 30,000+ posts of all things important! Could those people that are against CTWD say the same to you BANGING ON! MULTI threads!

Please dont lecture me about banging on and what is in good taste!

 

As far as I can work out he walked into prison a terrorist and murderer of innocent people and walked out a hero?

 

By replying to my post who is derailing a thread

 

It is my thread I shall have you know

 

If you read about South African history, the Boer elite, the formation of the ANC, etc - you will begin to understand just why Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) was formed. Then you may be better able to 'work out' just why Mandela was labelled 'terrorist' and who by.

 

Sorry, Did edit and change it to post. Sorry i wont derail the thread anymore and if i add content it will be Mandela related.

 

What do you think his favourite delicacy for breakfast was?

I reckon he had a secret craving for cinnamon grahams using a big spoon but probably ate a big hearty salad in company

It's why he was always raging

 

You are correct but the blinkered comments by some on here who think he was some sort of kindly old man is staggering, the MK division of the ANC was responsible for thousands of killings all in the name of anti apartheid.
much in the same way as the IRA tried to unite Ireland but I don't suppose the world will lionize Gerry Adams.

He was a murdering terrorist who never renounced violence, sang racist white songs, and even murdered black policemen because he thought they were on the sides of the white rulers.

What do they say, yesterday's terrorist is today's freedom fighter, a bit like Al Queda who the UK once funded to fight the Russians in Afghan.

 

If you look at the thread, you can see from the public, never mind private messages that it was far from my agenda. As you expect nothing to happen as a consequence of your posts, I'm only too happy to oblige.

 

All a sad story, they were admittedly reduced to violence for all the right reasons. They had it right at the start doing sabotage missions. But they had to go off planting bombs in shopping centres and other public venues killing hundreds of innocents including women and children in cold blood. He was correctly labelled a terrorist, and I hope he finds his peace in hell.

 

Like **** it is. It's my thread. You just go lucky when it was split in two

And chien is a good poster. He's just having a little moment.

 

Just like the IRA

 

You are both right, but Mandela was only a fighter because of what the whites were doing to the blacks, and it is a human reaction to fight against this. However in time and the older he became, not unlike Gerry Adams and the IRA, he realised that this was not winning the battle. He in my eyes takes great credit for realising that the only way for SA to be at peace was for him not to show revenge, and in doing this there is no doubt a blood bath was avoided.
