This is great news.

The only good thing Mandela did was inspire his country's team to victory over the arrogant All Blacks in the 1995 Rugby Union World Cup Final, the first time they won the tournament.

More balls than anyone.

"I Am Prepared to Die" (Nelson Mandela's Statement at the Rivonia Trial in 1964)

We can not imagine what it was like for him to fight, well everything in SA at the time. Just think, he was jailed for trying to get equality through peaceful means.


I can't even get some people to phone/write their MP to complain about something that they are whining about..............

More balls than anyone.

I'd say Ronnie O'Sullivan has got more balls.

It's nice to see the opinion of Nelson Mandela is pretty much unanimous.........only one or two come across as doubtful.

Doubtful? One says it is great news!

Maybe he got out of the wrong side of the bed, he may upgrade his opinion as the day goes on.

Maybe you'll upgrade yours. You never know.

He may well be as close to the "Second Coming" as we are going to see.

Jesus Christ will be the closest to the Second Coming as you are going to see.

As Anglicans say: "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again."

From your past postings.......I thought that you believed that Obama was.........

Isn't this the same 'one' who had snit fits when people dissed Thatcher upon her death as well?

Could have been, there were several who didn't like her as I recall. -

From your past postings.......I thought that you believed that Obama was.........

Yeah, there's probably a few in the running.

 

[Blackleaf]

Isn't this the same 'one' who had snit fits when people dissed Thatcher upon her death as well?

That's because Thatcher was a great statesman who achieved lots and her death was rightly mourned.

Mandela was a terrorist who was on the US terrorist watch list until 2008 and wasn't fit to even lick Maggie's boots.

It would be hard to improve on my opinion of Mandela.

It would be hard to improve on my opinion of Mandela.

So what makes you think I'm any different?

Mandela was a terrorist who was on the US terrorist watch list until 2008 and wasn't fit to even lick Maggie's boots.

And who did he terrorize?

So what makes you think I'm any different?

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- your own statement of abhorrence!

 

[Blackleaf]

And who did he terrorize?

The fact you need me to tell you that shows how little you actually know about Mandela (yet you are quick to sing his praises), who was also an unrepentant communist sympathiser.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- your own statement of abhorrence!

What makes you think my opinion of Mandela will change anytime soon?

 

[JLM]

Jesus Christ will be the closest to the Second Coming as you are going to see.

I haven't yet ruled that out, but he is a little tardy.

 

[Blackleaf]

but he is a little tardy.

Why? When was his Second Coming due?

 

[JLM]

Doubtful? One says it is great news!

Yep, he seems a little adamant in his hatred, but like Mandela, Christ had his detractors too!

Why? When was his Second Coming due?

Within the next few years if I'm to believe it.

The fact you need me to tell you that shows how little you actually know about Mandela (yet you are quick to sing his praises), who was also an unrepentant communist sympathiser.

So being a Communist automatically makes you a bad person?
