We have a "Spineless" government!

[StonerStuart]

I was listening to 94.7 this morning, and instead of the usual prank from Darren ball bag Simpson there was actually something very interesting and disturbing at the same time.

The two south African Hostages Bruno Pelizzari and Debbie Calitz that have been held for 15 months now and our government is doing nothing about it. It makes me sick, what if that was you or one of your loved ones?

Please go to the site and if you can donate the R10 they are asking for since our ****TY government cant even bear the balls needed to go rescue them.

or Just SMS: SOS to 38417 it costs R10, it is the least we as south Africans can do, one day if that is a situation you are put in you'll be hoping that your fellow south Africans will Save your Soul!

It sickness me , that all the will offer is "counselling" , yet they will spend R100million on a party!?!? Sickening!!

 

[OGroteKoning]

Spineless since 1995 ... and counting!!

 

[StonerStuart]

It is utterly disgusting that they can just allow that to happen! Where is our love for our fellow man?

 

[Polymathic]

No government negotiates with terrorists period

 

[ToxicBunny]

How exactly is that spineless?

like mmmig said, no government negotiates with terrorists...

Harsh as this may be, better 2 people die, than to make every South African citizen abroad a target of hostage takers because our government negotiates.

 

[BouncyNinja]

No government negotiates with terrorists period

Yes, however other governments go fetch their people, they don't just leave them to rot!

Can you picture the SADF doing that?

 

[BouncyNinja]

With the amount of money they spend, heck, they should be able to

 

[StonerStuart]

Yes understandable, no gov negotiates! But what's stopping our government from going over and killing the hostage takers and securing the hostages? Why must we they just let them sit there rotting away going crazy? To me that is spineless!

 

[Fudzy]

Why not just use the money collected to hire mercenaries?

 

[StonerStuart]

Yes I can imagine them doing that, the can, our retired sandf guys can most def still pull that off!

 

[ToxicBunny]

Whats stopping our government doing that?

Ummmm, you do realise we're on the same continent as Somalia, and the possible **** storm that would be caused by us going in guns blazing is not worth rescuing 2 random people....

 

[Fudzy]

Yeah. Would be great if the site had a thermometer or something to show how much money it's raised.

But then those Somali bastards can also keep an eye on it, and demand more..

 

[ToxicBunny]

Random criticism of the site.. SOS does NOT mean Save Our Souls.. it means Save Our Ship.

Incedentally, here is a previous thread that was opened on the same topic, by a guy who's going out with the daughter of one of the hostages:

Of course they're spineless.

Started out as terrorists, now corrupting and stealing their way through taxpayer money. Who has time for silly things like hostages when you're busy ruining a country?
