If there was anyone worth bombing, it was the Apartheid government and its supporters. Fact.

That doesn't justify the many civilian casualties at the hands of the MK.

Nelson Mandela State!!

Postby Ravenflight » Sun Jun 23, 2013 12:57 pm

After breaking news on news channels in the last half hour we have found out that Nelson Mandela, former south african president has been put on a critical state. My question is how will you feel when he goes and how long do you thing he has? I know we all love him. We have been asked to pray for him.

I don't know if I love him. It'll be a shame if he dies, but he's old as fuck, so I won't be too pushed.

"The Specials" song is in my head.
KILLUGON and BERNIE SANDERS and my moirail, ERIDEL.
Founder of Kotturheim, home to my GAY POLECATS, who are TOO FABULOUS FOR YOU.
Arg: Blekk does that. The topics of same sex marriage and the human race's fight against idiocy motivate him to write some truly impressive and glorious rants that deserve to be remembered and sigged.
Zott: I see our Blekky has discovered the joys of amphetamines.
Horus: blekky you are blekky i am horus
Rio: Blekky you are the best person on this website. Figuratively, kiss me.
Blekky is like a bunny. He looks adorable, yet he might bite you till it hurts.
Veccy: you're the worst blekky
The Balkens: Blekk does that, he has been taught by NSG's greatest practitioners of Snark to Snark combat.
Napki: Marry me, Blekk
Aeq: Blekk, you are Jesus!!!

Please see: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=245390 - I have been monitoring his health behind the scenes.

It was intended to be a ongoing topic but the news was slow until now.

Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

Nelson Mandela has been admitted to hospital for, as far as I know, the third time this year: I must come clear that am starting to worry for his health, given that it is a recurrence of a lung infection. I am hopeful that Nelson Mandela will recover, because he has done so much for freedom in South Africa, even though there are noticeable problems in the country right now.

I will keep NSGers up to date as the situation develops, this OP and its title may change if the situation changes - for now though, reflections on his influence and endeavour?

I had posted the same link you just posted by accident. :palm: :p

I quite agree. A terrible crime that was. Peaceful struggle is always the way to go.

For the same reason, the allied murderers who took up arms against the axis are all terrible criminals, and I think it is about time we recognise this.
