Im surprised Nelson has been able to live as long as he has given how much his health detriments draw back to his time imprisoned.

I hope he sticks it out, would be a shame to lose such a great man. But I suppose everyone has to go sometime.

Nelson Mandela is a great man, and we could use more people like him, both in South Africa and the world. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if he passes this year. The man is a nonagenarian now.

I'm afraid that now all we can hope is that Mandela passes away without suffering.

I still wonder how come the ANC has gone that bad. They're really betraying the teachings of Mandela.

I have respect for mr. Mandela and wish him all the luck in the world. But at his age I can see the inevitable and I will morn his death when it occurs.

HOLY FUCK, SO WHAT? The color scheme of the South African flag symbolized the Dutch, the first inhabitants of South Africa and the three nations that united to form the Union of South Africa in 1910; Oranje Free State, Transvaal and Cape Colony.

Only the ignorant liberals could see that, a flag symbolizing the history of South Africa that was adopted two decades before apartheid as "racist". That flag is the true flag of South Africa, the current flag with the ANC colors conviniently added in is nothing but a symbol of Afrikaner cultural genocide and general failure.

Besides, the blue-white-orange color scheme is asthetically beautiful.

there's just a small problem with your post. when you were talking about the origins of the your flag, why didn't you say you adopted the glorious true flag of south africa instead of saying you took the flag of apartheid south africa and threw a cartoon pony on it? i don't think you get to go and complain when people say you took the apartheid flag (even if apartheid was better, uncivilized primitive african tribes :hipposay:, etc.) and say its really actually the glorious flag of the true south africa when you explicitly told the entire forums you took the apartheid flag. please forgive the ~~*ignorant liberals*~~ for using the words you say.

e: it's not like you roleplay an apartheid state or anyth- oh wait

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!
