But I'm glad the English did come here, else we'd probably still be living in houses with cow dung floors and riding on horse draw carriages.


LOL big words, I supposed you would have been happy to die in those concentration camps

Colonists brought a lot of 1st world technology to SA. They gave South Africa the wheel for starters. I don't see any problem with saying what she did.

You would have to be quite silly to think she was suggesting it was all good. Everyone knows it wasn't all bad and it wasn't all good.

So what's the problem?

People do not want to hear that ****. If you looked hard, you could find some good things about a rape. Do you think the rape victim wants to hear that ****?

The problem is Twitter where you can either be Left or Right but nowhere reasonable in the middle.

She should have stayed on as leader of the DA I think as I think she really does miss the spotlight and relevancy. Instead she is pulling this twitter crap time and time again.

still think, she is planning a comeback..at national level.

Ever used goggles and snorkel? That was invented by the Nazis, along with the banning of indiscriminate shooting of wildlife animals with firearms. I'm guessing you also attend regular Friday night VW Beetle burning gatherings too along with all your fellow torch bearing crusaders

But sure you stick with that false false dilemma fallacy which you like so many others seem to think is a new flavor.

Add to that some militant virtue signalling, teary videos and flag colored profile pictures and one wonders what rock these special specimens crawled out from under.

We live in a colonial world. What is anyone going to do about it.
There's no such thing as post colonialism. Colonialism is all around lol... and no, it's not necessarily British.

Really?



Doesn't seem anymore like you do. Check the thread title pumpkin.

2 people in here doesn't seem to follow discussions or even know what the topic is about. Don't give them much attention. They obviously have nothing of value to add to the discussion...
