here's the thing, we all know our country is stuffed up.
my point is that the people are the best. we thrive under adversity, and what makes everything just bearable is that we can do one thing that other people dont.
we laugh at, and with each other about our circumstances.
who agrees?

Raadsgirl - First of all this question was posted in the South African section, it was not intended for ignorant Australians to answer, maybe if you spent less time ******* sheep and stealing land from Aborigines you would have picked that up.
Remarks such as yours, coming from a citizen of a former Victorian penal colony can only but amuse us.
(PS - punctuation marks can be found on your keyboard, your incoherent ramblings would make a bit more sense making use thereof.)

Agree. PS. Met a German exchange student in December who has been to 8 countries in Africa, Europe and Asia. She said that South Africans are the best people (after 4 months haven't met a single unfriendly person except for 1). She also said that SA is the best country in the world and the most beautiful she has seen. Yes, we have many problems, but our people are still the most awesome :) The whole Southern Africa actually.

I do agree. It really doesn't matter where you are that determines your circumstances. It's in us. Our frame of mind. Our determination. We have to get up off our butts and go after what we want in life. I'm lucky, I came from a family who has a history of "I'm going to give this life the best shot I can."
You're right. Laughing is the most wonderful feeling in the world. Yesterday I saw the funniest thing (to me). I was leaving a grocery store parking lot. A man passed me on the side street coming to this parking lot; he had his arm out of the window holding onto a grocery cart rolling beside him, bringing it back to the grocery store, going about 20 miles an hour. I tried to get his attention. He was holding onto that cart so steadily that the wheels of the cart were booking along side of him as if it was attached to his car. I laughed for at least five minutes. I still laugh thinking about it. I know...You had to be there. Have a great day.

Now Proud2be, its not the country that's stuffed just the politics.
We have scenery and countryside more beautiful and breathtaking than I have seen anywhere in UK or Europe. And it is adversity that units us and makes us stand as one !!!
How can you beat that?

This is probably the most fun I have had discussing politics and other SA issues. And yes I was laughing (and swearing) at some remarks.

we have made some mistakes in the past but can't we just leave it there in the past every one are so quick to judge us and our mistakes but have you forgotten that other countries also did the same they just never gave it a name.

I agree! We put up with a crime rate of note, corrupt government and long shopping queues and yet we still come out of it with a smile...even if sometimes its only just barely!

That we can laugh at some of the idiot replies to the question before chooning them sh!t...
We have smart people (oooh, how do you like my arrogance now?!? huh?)... concious people and we are passionate as well.
our jokes are smart, not the slapstick you get from some places. Even our ads are smarter... (whats the point of all the high class techno if you dont relate to the consumer?)
If we dont want to cry about it, we rather laugh about it...
I agree... TOTALLY!!!
