Major Setback for DA

[Lycanthrope]

I think you have one too many.

One too many opinions? Thoughts? Realisations?

Probably.

If you mean to suggest that I've had one too many, I'm afraid I don't drink, sorry.

However, with such brazen logic, I might have to dumb myself down with a few drinks to see what some people see in the ANC.

 

[Balstrome]

Welcome to the world of being an individual - if someone calls you an idiot and that offends you, then guess what - you are an idiot.

You can not say this, as it removes the weapon, people use to defend themselves with. This makes them totally disarmed and exposes their statements and claims to cold reality. You must be fairer and allow them some form of protection, otherwise they will be naked in everyone's eyes, expect of course the blind.

True - it causes me to wonder what kind of people grow to hide behind their skin colour instead of their intelligence or integrity.

Daft comparison - if someone makes a gay joke at me, I'm not going to cry, "HOMOPHOBE!!!" and rail in court cases and whine 'til kingdom come about how prejudiced the world is toward me. Welcome to reality.

I'm sorry, but even I can break out in laughter at a good stereotype or a crude joke.

People who hide behind their skin colour or "differences" are people who are too **** scared to face the real world and stand up for themselves. They are cowards.

 

[Praeses]

With his attitude, it won't be much of a loss if he went to the ANC. It seems some South Africans have no idea what democracy is about. It's not about race.

 

[BUDDH4]

It would be nice to take a look at Nala's bank account - prior to switching over and just after switching over. You could be pretty sure that it has been inflated.

I think your being a bit unfair! Just because someone has decided he is not happy and decides he wants to leave the DA for the ANC then he must've been bribed? Pilgrim's also making generalisations that the guy must've been
incompetent!

Either incompetent or power-hungry. Both are acceptable criteria for joining the ANC.

 

[Albereth]

Not so sure about that - but surely you are not also going to argue that it is morally acceptable?

Why argue? - the ANC only accepts the morally bankrupt as members. In fact, the fewer morals, the higher you'll go.

 

[Pilgrim]

Through the eyes of a racist,yes.

Strange, did you see the fact that I removed all the parts where he quoted how many black and how many white people are in the DA?

My reasoning is that this idiot wanted the world handed to him on a silver platter and because he was not willing to work hard enough he did not magically receive a high post, he pulls the racist card. IDIOT.

If you want to get ahead in the DA, work your ass of. Black or white the DA rewards hard work.

The ANC on the other hand is a closed crony society. Even fools like Malema are rewarded, not for their hard work or competence, but because they suck up to the correct people.

Very true. Bonuses and benefits should just magically materialize for no reason, not because of hard work

I'm not sure if this Nala guy is telling the truth or not. BUT if it was a white person saying these things about the ANC, everyone here would believe it, but since it the other way around, it is not not true? *sigh*

I'm not surprised anyway.

It is because of the image the anc portrays. so yes, in your hypothetical situation it would not surprise me.

I'm not surprised anyway.

Why are ANC supporters so obsessed with race ? Lately in almost every thread in the N&CA section the ANC supporters bring skin colour into the discussion.

I'm not surprised anyway.

 

[Kloofvreter]

if you look at the councilors issue; the DA draws voters from former white areas. Councilors are drawn from those wards, so you would expect them to be white.

Hits the nail on the head.

 

[Kloofvreter]

If floor crossing is allowed, why not this?

I believe it's not allowed anymore.

 

[greggpb]

I would love to see a party take the moral high ground... and put in the party consitution.. anyone who has commited a crime and proved guilty (court of law) should not be allow to be in any seat or position of power..

With the courty going the ways it is the time for second chances is gone.

I will vote for that party

 

[Sly21C]

The DA must find more (competent) black people and put them in leadership positions if it wants to increase its voter base. If the DA wants to remain an opposition party forever and wants to just rule the Western Cape then that's its choice and that's fine, but if it wants more vote and wants to one day rule this country then it has to find hardworking black people. Despite what many people think, there are a lot of productive, competent, hardworking, unselfish black people in this country.

Don't make me laugh ...... so are the DA (or Anti-ANC) supporters here.
Kettle...pot...
Everything political is racial here in SA. Where do you live?

 

[Sly21C]

Perhaps this rings true?

I hope you are not suggesting that ALL black people are incompetent....

most people prefer to ostrich the obvious racial innuendos.
plenty subliminal racists out here it must be said...

If you vote for the ANC, you are racist, if you vote for the DA, you are racist...that's the impression I get here every time anyway. So you can call me racist for voting ANC if you wish.
