Jeepers another one. 
Sorry to say it but these sites are too damn depressing.
For a week or so I read through the Blog called "Why South Africa is Crap", but stopped.
The negativity is too much!
Life is short and I would rather keep an open mind of more positive things.
If one had to continue to follow these sites one might as well pack ones backs tomorrow and leave as that is the message that comes across.
Perhaps from time to time I will take a peek.

As you say, sad, damm sad, but very true.

Hiya Ajak.
I suppose you go through stages in your life?
At the moment I just want to be positive and enjoy my life.
That may sound selfish?
I think time mends all wounds.
South Africa will step into the future. It will just take a while.
I feel very positive about our country.
I am sorry that those people in those stories got hurt in the way they did.
Nothing I personally can do about it.
If we really want to be heard and the white people have issues I think they would be better off getting together, discussing the issues and then presenting them to Government Leaders. I think you will be amazed at the positive response it may get?
Putting our hopes in Opposing Political Factions is probably going to be fruitless. I think they will sell you out down the road anyway.
The White People that helped build this nation need to regain that same spirit they had 100/200 years ago when they were not lazy to work.
Nowadays it is easy to just sit behind the TV and do the Couch Referee thingie while the maid cleans the house.
We need to regain that spirit that was lost.
It is sad to see the white people just sitting back and taking it.

In the words of Barry Hilton wtf is one ?
Time? Looking at the rest of Africa there is bit little hope! If you want to be heard talk to the GVT, prove of MyADSL efforts and colloquiums re Broadband meant nothing but a big time waster up to now, calls to the GVT from all spheres re crime has fallen on death ears. Be my guest, all you hear as before would be if you do not like it get out or like tibby and others says you get what you deserve!
No we know that but it is becoming clearer by the day there is some underlying criminal actions , by groups and gangs, specifically targeting whites. Crimes against Whites is more violent in most cases. Criminals by there own admittance during the crimes confirmed this making their own statements regards to it. Your youth leaders in PTA recently made headline news making hate speech and supported the idea to attacking whites and white suburbs not blacks as they can have you bewitched!
This site reports the crimes by date as they become aware of it and if you looked closely there is quiet a few blacks that were effected, specially the child rape crimes, but a lot is against whites where nothing were taken so the modus operandi was not theft!
Ah well, soon global warming will take us all out
Seriously tho, SA has more crime than most countries, but there's **** everywhere.
I mean, hows that Amish murder yesterday? - crazy talk.
Also, if you take a look at London crime stats, it's pretty scary.
They had a discussion on the news this morning about what to do if teenagers are causing a disturbance - the bottom line, don't confront them.
People have been murdered or seriously assulted in big cities here, by teenage thugs. The scariest thing is, the only motive is "for the fun of it" - they don't steal anything!
Where I live is totally crime free (90km south of London) - well, as close as it'll get - but in bigger towns and cities here, there's plenty of crime. Certainly, it's not on the same scale as SA, but it's there none-the-less and a lot of it is just as horrifying, if not more so. The motive for a lot of assault here is simply "for kicks"
It's kinda like the whole "clockwork orange" thing playing out for real - teenagers being violent for kicks. Not nice.
To put perspective on this, you could have a blog about any countries crime stats which would be shocking - it's the modern world we live in.
SA just has a level of crime above "the average" right now, due to a totally inadaquate police force and a government in denial, head buried firmly in the sand, and, dare I say it, the legacy of the past - you can't fix a socio-economic disaster overnight - then again, the way the current SA government is going, it'll never be fixed ...

C'mon BB_Matt don't be ridiculous, there is shiite everywhere but what is your chances to be directly affected compared to South Africa. Those you refer to is due to the headline news of the month or even Year, here you never even hear about the most of them. But then again you would not know, You do not want to read the depressing news and is not here to experience it!Ah well, soon global warming will take us all out

Well, I dunno, my brother seems to be ok, he's living in South Africa.
My dad is ok too. So are my friends.
Sure, the odds are stacked against them far higher than where I am, but they still carry on with life on a day to day basis.
I'm glad I left for lots of reasons, some of them related to the crazy crime stats, but other reasons are my own and have nothing to do with SA as a country.
You can spin any story.
Like I said, SA has a far higher level of crime than other countries, but it isn't all milk and honey overseas, far from it.
There's the good and the bad everywhere.
What I pay for my virtually non-existant crime levels, are massive tax rates, ridiculous energy costs, a stupidly expensive flat rental and a general drop in my financial standard of life when compared to SA.
Swings and roundabouts.
Ag Shame! Maybe bad choice of words, I am not getting at MyADSL if that's why you are so offended and defensive about, I refer to the GVT and what talking to them means! Yeah MyADSL achieved a lot, but we did gain anything much since the colloquiums yet? did we? Telkom is still doing as they please since 2004. I am happy to say they MyADSL and RPM are doing a good Stirling job but unfortunately the GVT and Icassa and Telkom snubbed us so far. If you say that's rubbish then its all in your mind! Pathetic as it may be! Read the thread in context and you will see that the reference was based on the fact that GVT do not listen to its people, in all spheres off our lives here in South Africa, and was in response that someone stated lets talk to the GVT about the crimes.

you must be kidding, if your reference of recently is a few years ago, and your reference of youth leader is a leader of a fringe group on the extreme left - yes then you are right
taking your logic - I could then say that based on orgs like the Boeremag - all whites are racist and want to take over the country through some idiotic plans (typical Afrikaner logic )
