South Africa

Is it because we don't have a lot of variety, like going out for Chinese-, Japanese-, Pakistani- or Indian food ... or any other kind of food for that matter? Or are we just lazy and wanna sit around a fire while we get ourselves drunk? Another fun question, guys! I'm looking for some interesting answers.

I mean the cameras on the street is good for crime prevention. But what happens when this power shifts to intercepting regular cellphones and our REAL privacy?

I know that legalizing prostitution will give the government a chance to "control" the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS with regular check-ups on prostitutes. Is this the democracy we voted for? Or just moral chaos?

I (and many other here) don't appreciate the fact that some people are excited about reporting abuse even when it's not there.

I propose that all regulars should be tolerant of differing opinions. There's are some regulars here that I disagree with almost everything (if not all) that they post. The situation is mostly at a boiling point but I alwsy respect their right to opine.

Some people have had to recreate accounts so many times it's no more fun. I realised that most regulars are either SA or ex-SA. We all know why we are mostly at each other's throats. But shouldn't we be more tolerant and not run to report unless one has really broken the rules Yahoo! Naswers guidelines - which I think are reasonable. Your views!

Is theres not possibly a more humane alternative or areas where the elephants can be transported? Surely other reserves throughout Southern Africa may have a home for them?
I understand the fact that when their numbers are too great they cause a great deal of damage but do believe alternatives must be explored.

Why do people (who claim to be from SA) keep telling others on Yahoo forums that South Africa is a safe country to visit and live in?
SA newspapers daily report more murders and atrocities.
Some facts about SA.
50 murders a day. A DAY!
53000 reported rapes a year. Estimated at least that number again is unreported. Many rapes carried out by HIV/AIDS positive males.
10000 white farmers murdered between 2005 and 2006.
Since Feb 2007; At least a dozen tourists attacked and mugged at knifepoint on Table Mountain. One of SA's prime tourist attractions.Tourist women gang raped on Durban beach. Tourists mugged on Durban beach. 32 coach tourists robbed by 3 thugs at gunpoint whilst having breakfast in Cape Town.
These are not isolated incidents!
Carjackings and in-car murders carried out on a daily basis. House break-ins and house murders carried out on a daily basis.
Violence against whites, in particular tourists, seems to be increasing.

Try being cheerful if you're going to respond...
Here's my "dream"... Whites could also speak some of the official languages eg. zulu, xhosa, sotho...etc.
Blacks wouldn't have had a problem learning their new visitors language nor Afrikaans.
We'd learn about their culture and they'd learn about ours...
They'd also adopt black names, and schools set up would teach not only the white ways but every other races way...
Imagine we dressed like Indians, lived in Huts that had taps and electricity and that was a huge norm...etc... (I can dream cant I?)

It seems centrally placed for Cape town and Port Elizabeth, and the training grounds of Worcester, and George, where there is also an airport. Will they have facilities like big screens etc. for those who have no tickets but enjoy the party

I would not be surprised if Mr Watzzzup was none other than AK47 Zuma himself, they both share an idiotic stance on all viewpoints, have little to no high school education and are thugs of the highest order.
Did it ever cross your mind Watzzup, that if it weren't for "evil" cololialism, you and your comrades would still be dwelling in mudhuts inhumanely slaughtering goats and fighting tribal wars?
Instead of trashing us with your racist left wing propaganda, why dont you take a few moments to thank the white man for transport, communications, banking, nourishment, electricity, running water etc, all inventions of the white mind that you take for granted on a daily basis.
I wonder if you and your kind would even have discovered the concept of the wheel had you had not been colonised.
Enjoy the begging bowl, with your mentality or rather lack thereof and those with mentalities like yours, it is merely a matter of time.

In SA and elsewhere, an interesting note on whites calling for "qualifications" in any context. This is a common fallacy clung to even by the most ignorant europeans.

Europeans did not steal countries based on test taking or speaking grunted european languages. They invaded and stole countries based on lying, cheating, deceit and military exercises. In effect, they are cunning, unrepentent criminals and used the stolen resources (oil, gold, diamonds, etc) of the world to develop false economies and technologies to widen the gap of resources.

The question is not are you smart enough or sufficiently qualified, but are you at base evil enough to be part of europe?

With the clarity of history and experience, you would think these european "people" would be ashamed or embarassed at their inhuman misdeeds and horrors. Stunning and amazing in their behaviors, though surprisingly uniform in their crimes worldwide, they require a separation and warnings for the future.

Mandela and the rest of the Communist scum of the ANC seized power in 1994 - the sanctions were lifted, BILLIONS of $ of international aid were pumped in the South African economy, and South Africa was welcomed as the newest democracy on the international stage.
What happened? Where's the rainbow nation, the supposed paradise?
It's becoming glaringly apparent that blacks in Africa can't run their own countries. South Africa has descended into a Stalinist maelstrom of corruption, murder, rape, carjackings and every other conceivable crime.
Moreover, there is a sizable portion of the black population that wants the whites out - not thinking things through; without whites, who will take care of the blacks?

Most ran off when their empire fell. The majority of the surviving remainder came to their senses and scattered, but a few souls persist in thinking they are somehow "African" and not a remnant of criminal thugs from europe who invaded, lied, deceived, abused and intruded on the continent. When is a European an African? In a sick and twisted fantasy of self-hypnosis.

Given behavior of Europeans now and over the past years, is it reasonable for Africans to deport, expel or exclude Europeans from S Africa or limit their vindictive speech if they choose to stay and whine about living conditions ?

the fact that they have had the foresight to implement their racist apartheid policies under the banners of BEE and AA which are far more socially acceptable than "apartheid" but in reality are little more than apartheid if not exactly the same? Granted apartheid included policies such as the groups area act etc, however, limiting economic participation of whites in the country gradually via BEE and AA will lead to segregation in any event, will it not?
Who else also believes the excessive crime in this country is a deliberate attempt by the ruling government to persuade as many Europeans as possible to emigrate without actually having to fight a civil war?
