Negativity relating to the SWC

[I am Penguin]

Ahh, so we are saying that all this country's "problems" are actually caused by the soccer world cup! And all this time I thought you guys were blaming the ANC!

What a ...comment, who is in charge of wasting all the billions for "upgrading" the country, back pockets and personal bank accounts at the expense of those part of the population that really needs the extra wasted money. The poor that rather beg than help themselves, those that strike as they want free education, homes, Lazy "jobs", etc. ALL IN THE NAME/BANNER of the WC

I read in a local paper that over a million rand per month is payed to "suspended" government appointed employees whose cases are still "hanging", they have not done a day's work in a year. But
I read that security firms are dropped at key institutions as there is no more money. All the money was spend for "Upgrades" in lieu of the pending WC. Nice catch phrase for future budget requirements.

Hmm, just a little bit of stereotyping there. And then for good measure you throw an insult the way of the poor by calling them pathetic. You're a nice guy, Morgoth....

Yet you throw insults in the way of those that disagrees with YOU.

Yip, here they go. They are at it in this thread again. The same idiots who were saying the stadiums would not be ready (they are!). The same idiots who were encouraging tourists to stay away. Now they just change their tack and raise a new argument.... Blah, Blah... some more Blah!

Lancelot, we were lead to believe that there was no money available to improve the lot of the poor and destitute, and that the country was doing everything in it's power to do what it could with what little it had.

Suddenly the poor struggling government has 500 billion rand to spend on massive projects, where the select few are handsomely rewarded over and over again.

Seems a little bit .. erm .. what's the word .. dishonest? .. criminal?

take Lancelot's Advice and lets not make it the center of our world! lets forget about the crime even though we get stabbed, robbed, our children raped and our tax money stolen to buy a few members in Parliament Mercedes Benzes while the poor threaten to kill the farmers and blame the whites ...

how easy it is to go through life when you ignore everything.......

but I guess being aware of what is going on makes you an idiot....

I like your summary.
Thing is, every day I learn something new about our "a better life for all" government, and it's never flipping good.
Never.

Perhaps ignorance is where I should be, much like my parents were during apartheid.

Yep! lucky I am not the idiot looking pass reality with "SaDogooder.co.za" (http://www.sagoodnews.co.za/) etched or TATTOOED on my extremities, while scanning the site daily in hope to really find something to confirm that someone is living in the right, and currently existing, era and all the TRUE reality and news is just a fiction of everyone's imagination as in this country IT CANNOT BE HAPPENING. Malema does not exist, Zuma is just an afterthought ... this is paradise, its our rainbow nation, no crimes, no poor shack dwellers, no corruption, ............It just must be as we are hosting the WC.
