Nelson Mandela Day

[MickeyD]

Wow, listen I also think this whole thing is nothing but a publicity stunt. And I have to work. But some of these comments? Damn... Nothing wrong with helping someone less fortunate on one day of the year no matter in who's name or legacy it is.

Wow, just wow...

There's the rub... I help people just about EVERY day of the year (even while Mandela was alive) so what is so special about today? To me? Nothing.

should have been a public holiday.

should have been a public holiday.

We have too many already. Rather reduce the current public holidays.

It should most definitely not be a public holiday.
I doubt Mandela would have wanted yet another burden on our economy.

In other news, they just had an interview with some guy on 5FM.
He was promoting Mandela day and said we should all contribute 67 minutes whether it be cleaning the streets in your neighborhood ,helping an elderly person, etc. "Come on people it's 67 minutes, that's not even an hour of your time!"

Seriously, lol, SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!

Maybe clean the local park later or I will just end up with a beer in hand staring at the park

Not me Seriously! Bwahahahaha!

On a more serious note, Mandela is dead and buried, so are his legacy and what he stood for. The ANC only rape his name of fame for self gain!. Thats ALL!
