R.I.P Nelson Mandela

[UrS4boy]

I think this thread was started in respect for the passing off Nelson Mandela, not for pointing people out who have or havent posted or anyones political veiws.

I have/had great respect for the man personally. I was just surprised that there weren't any RSA members that had posted seeing how he was once their President. I wasn't dictating what they were going to say. I was just curious what their feelings were.

BTW: Once you start a thread on any forum, you do not control the content of the thread or who posts in it.

Peace.

The best forum Ive ever had the privilege to be part of.... rest in hope, rest in love, Nelson Matiba Mandela. May all learn a life long lesson from your struggles and achievements.

Nelson Mandela was a very special man. He was not, however, a god or perfect or without sin. The world is worse for his passing but better for him having been here.

I pretty sure Nelson Mandela would have agreed with what I said about him so how that makes me a c^nt, I don't know.

Peace be with you.

Dave in controversial post shocker... again...

All I will say is that free speech and opinion is a cornerstone of the free world and that means people saying things that the masses agree with, as well as things that most disagree with.

I cannot profess to know a huge amount about Nelson Mandela; my knowledge is based on the headlines of the last 20 years, during which I have been old enough to understand them, so cannot comment on the ins and outs of his life. I do, however, see that he was a massively influential figure - one which history will revere for far longer than he was around - and that he was the spokesperson for a nation's fight against prejudice, inequality and racism. May there be more people in the world with the strength and conviction to fight for what is right and condemn what is wrong.

Sorry for not posting earlier. We have been mourning the death of a great man who not only helped free us from Apartheid but stopped a civil war. I have used the past couple of days to further teach my children what Nelson Mandela stood for as a person and how he could not hate and had the power to forgive and by staying true to his cause commanded respect from this adversaries, critics and followers.

We are truely privelaged to have lived at a time when Nelson Mandela walked this earth.
