Article: Kill the boer, Kill the racist, Kill Afrikaans

It may have been said, but the pamphlet is a bit of an oxymoron is it not?

Cry wolf? Oh right, because no farmer has ever been tortured and murdered for peanuts. It's all just delusional paranoia.

why is farmers the big deal? the are just a small portion of the overall murder rate in South Africa. why aren't you crying foul over the murders in the cities or the suburbs?

sounds like a group of people want to be special snowflakes.

out of the 35000 commercial farms operating in South African 3158 farmers have been brutally murdered since 2004, whist most of these murders have taken place since 2008.

But we are nowhere near equal or rainbowy now are are? Race still rules the roost whether it's politicians stoking the fires for their benefits or just plain old racists of all hues.

interesting, so it further supports what I said.

The interpretation of data on “farm attacks” is problematic as it relies on old police data and current, self-reported data collected and submitted by the Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa (TAUSA).

TAUSA figures for the 22 years between 1990 and 2012 state that 1,544 people were killed in farm attacks, an average of about 70 a year or one every 5.2 days. A report by trade union Solidarity, issued in 2012, found that 88 farmers were murdered in the 2006 to 2007 financial year.

So was Hofmeyr correct in claiming that “a white farmer is slaughtered every five days”?

According to a 2003 police committee of inquiry into farm attacks, cited by Solidarity, 38.4% of farm attack victims were described as being black, coloured or Asian. TAUSA’s figures suggest that 208 (or 13.5%) of those murdered in farm attacks between 1990 and 2012 were black.

You quoted a false report which suggested that 10% of all farmers had been killed in a period which would be a bit outrageous and bordering on genocidal. Mind you the figures from the more credible sources include farmers, workers and visitors to farms at times of attacks.

Exactly, which is why all measures of race should be banned. People are still today looking at everything in race-tinted glasses because they are reminded of race on a daily basis and whenever they complete any official document. If we truly want to be a non-racial society no documents should ask for your race and no politicians should mention it.

Because those people don't feed us.

But if you are happy with chicken pieces from Brazil and local chicken farmers closing down and causing more unemployment and other food stuff being imported, then good on you, maybe even move to Zimbabwe, you can have lots of your food imported.

Have you got proof that farm attacks has anything to do with the chicken import clauses?

...yet it was 'modern' superbugs, caused by usage of modern antibiotics, that put me in hospital for 10 days on a drip to be cured by modern super-antibiotics and a further month's oral course of it to make sure all killed...extremely close to death due to modern superbugs.

What was the point again?

My reference was to existence being 'sufficient' in the absence of knowing that there are alternatives.

Did you 'miss' the internet etc in 1980 when it wasn't there? No....and it hasn't really made life much better today vs then, except that if others now have it you will be at a disadvantage...you can only compare like for like

cheers

Superbugs are merely antibiotic resistant bacteria dude (they are only colloquially known as superbugs, their actual name is multidrug resistant bacteria). They aren't pathologically more potent than they used to be before antibiotics, they have simply evolved to overcome our antibiotics. They existed before antibiotics and were just as nasty, we simply couldn't treat them at all (like people in the bush can't treat them).

So in short your understanding of what a superbug is is flawed and as a result what you think is a good point isn't one at all. Without antibiotics you simply would not have survived. Modern medicine didn't cause your problem, it saved your life, a life that would have been ended had you encountered that same infection in your simpler world that had never seen antibiotics.

I'm sure people that lost their children prior to the invention of antibiotics to what are today easily treatable diseases definitely missed those kids a truck load. Antibiotics have indeed made life much much better for billions of people since their invention. Sure they are now becoming less useful but nobody can deny the incredible increase in quality of life and the lives saved that otherwise would have ended thanks to antibiotics.

You really think the Internet hasn't improved our world? Jesus you're an idiot. Just think of the amazing things the Internet has given us. The communication advantages, the access to knowledge that we never had before. For example a frail old woman can see her great grandchild on the other side of the planet before she dies thanks to something as simple as Skype.
