a while a back I heard a story about a certain African tribe. What they did is that they would shout and swear at a tree and eventually the tree would die and fall over. So this forum is probably a good thing. So maybe Telkom will fall over and loose their power if everybody shouts hard enough. lol. Hopefully by that time it will be a free market so that anybody that has the means can provide Internet access to the starved masses of businesses and people who want Internet but can't afford it.

There is a massive demand for bandwidth and broadband in this country. Just a pity that there are laws that basically creates an unhealthy environment that puts South Africa last on the map when it comes to broadband.
 
I would love to read that story...you got the name of the book or a site where i can read it?

what poppy-cock!

..but i understand your train of thought. ;)
 
I think is because they also spat on it, (Spit on Telkom) hehe
 
Have any of you seen the movie/documentary called "What the bleep do we know?" Had a segment in it where they showed water molecules after they'd been exposed to different emotions and they change shape. Quite incredible really.
 
what poppy-cock!

Supposedly true this though....The same with music... trees live/grow better with Classical music/New Age, and been proven to die with Death Metal/Loud noises/Shouting etc full tilt at them. Was on some documentary few years back...

No wonder i got a few screws lose....All that Metal :D

Spooky...
 
I believe that story. Negative energy is very powerfull...especially when it is coming from a lot of people....this forum consists of quite a few members, so as long as we keep on being negative about Telkom, they will also eventually whither and die. :D
 
Hahahahaa...Spread the hate people!!!

Suprised I am still alive
 
Well if this was true I'm sure that there would be an outbreak of spontaneous combustion at the Telkom helpdesk..

i would also grow better with classical/new age/chill. RAH RAH RAH music would definately stunt my growth!
 
So your name is a reference to Dimmu Borgir i geuss?
Theyre ok... prefer Children of bodom and in flames, chimaira etc. And no death metal is good for you, definately wont stunt your growth.... uneducated people
 
They had a simialr thing on mythbusters. They actually proved that talking nicely or shouting had no effect, and that heavy metal music actually helped the plants grow the most.
