y tyranny was worth taking up arms against it was surely apartheid South Africa. Mandela shared power with those who had him locked up for decades, I'd have given De Klerk and his crew a one-way ticket to Robben Island
He is ok in my book because Galway's greatest daughter Dolores Keane has a song about him.
Though I must say that I thought his stance on apartheid was political correctness gone mad. Will the university-educated left-wing liberal elite ever learn?
It was deliberately provocative and was an experiment to see how long it would last.
I don't know why certain threads of yours are being pulled but just be careful they don't ban you because there is no way back these days.
I'm in bits Borneo.
The man is still warm in his bed and you are mocking him and those of us who are bereaving.
RIP Madiba

correct wildman,the psychophantc miriam was nearly in tears as the news broke as she minutes later launched into her weekly anti sinn fein rant,maybe nelsons volnteers used water pistols aswell......just like the old IRA.....CUE A STATMENT NOW FROM DOWNING STREET.....and then we have charlie flannagan,jesus the hypochrisy of these people angers me......
Jut give me a moment here guys, will you? I'm bereft.
Ok, fire away. Have managed to pull myself together. Just.
Anyone else thinking of travelling for the funeral?

There is no such word as bereaving,you probably mean grieving.
You must have known him well.
No dissenting voice will be allowed,,certainly no mention of necklace killings.

Betfair as a man of a mixed race background can you do something about wildman please !
Please betfair do not let him tear the Irish forum apart this is an SOS !!!!!
Do you recall Borneo mentioning that he used to holiday regularly in South Africa back in the Apartheid days?
The dead Anti-apartheid legend v the racial intolrent wildmanfromborneo, betfair must act an answer for him with a no frills ban !
Never in South Africa,was going to go on a Niall Mellon jaunt but was too busy,wouldn't go there now the most dangerous place in the world.
Rocketfingers you must try to be tolerant these calls for suppression of certain views is just that intolerant.
Rise above the group think and don't be always led.but then you are incapable of Independant thought.

Why would betfair ban wildman rocket?, I don't know if sometimes wildman is been deliberately provocative or he genuinely holds those views, either ways he's entitled to express his opinion without someone calling for him to be banned.
Not on someone else forum he isn't. Racism is a crime and should not be tolerated by any progressive or well meaning organsiation.
Greaser, if, for example, he was openly expounding pro opaedophelia views on here would you still be saying he is entitled to post his opinion?

Ozy obviously thats a completely different kettle of fish, wildmans racist views are pretty mild, just type white power into your google search if you want to read some no frills racism.
At times like these, Greaser, its a relief that Borneo can't work Google.
A Racist are right up there so i agree, honestly greaser i'd have no time for who ever has these types of views, just because Nathan Bedford Forrest, Nick Griffin, Mussolini etc knew who won the 3:30 at Navan it would not mean i would have to entertain them or their views on society.
you're saying its racist to call Mandela a terrorist? i'd expect such a ludicrous argument from yourself.
Now now Del , only recently I had to pull you up over a racist outpouring ..so lets not go there mate...you'll do yourself a mischief if you do there's a good lad ...
Mine was in jest, a passing folly. Even Greaser has accpeted that Boreno is a Racist.
toutfingers with contributions like your few above it is quite clear that the forum is a lot better place without you.....
I have no doubt in the world the any Mandela fan would be warmly welcomed in South Africa of today that he helped to shape with his bravery, i see one or two people making snide right wing remarks. Not surprised at neddieK who don't forget is a Liverpool supporter a club founded by the Orange Order.
Of course a " Mandela fan " would be welcomed in South Africa his people are in power but would he be welcomed by those living in fear in gated communities,would he be welcomed by those with one passport and nowhere else to go.
Rocketfingers would you allow any differing opinions,any dissenting voice or would you prefer us to kowtow to the self loathing liberal orthodoxy now in place.

Is South Africa a better place because of Nelson Mandela
Without question.
His patience, grace, and foresight held the whole place together. Most African leaders, particularly one's with his life experience, would have taken vengance on the ruling white community. He recognised how important it was to pacify and include them. This held SA together. Without this foresight and restraint, SA would have rapidly become another failed African State.
Lets hope that know that he has gone, future Leaders have learnt from his example and can confront the countries huge problems and challenges in a similar manner.

We all know what is behind your question, Dickie.
First of all, the injustices perpetrated on Blacks under the Apartheid regime went far far beyond the difficulties endured by Catholics in Northern Ireland. To draw parallels, as you undoubtedly will, does Coloured South Africans a disservice.
Second of all, Mandela regrets the violent of his youth. At the time when ultimate victory was his, he choose peace and restraint, when vengeful violence would have been easy and satisfying.
Your boyos chose peace and restraint, solely because their campaign of violence and terror was going nowhere. It was their only option, so they took it.
Mandella chose to become a great Statesman for the greater good. He laid down arms when it would have been easier to pick them up.

ye thats right oz because mk were like the old IRA according to fre staters in that they only uses water pistols.....so thats ok then they are freedom fighters....
Ozymandius @4.32 nails it dead centre.
Oh-and since when did 'terrorist' and 'freedom fighter' become mutually exclusive terms ?
One can be a terrorist without being a freedom fighter.
One can be a freedom fighter without being a terrorist.
One can be both.
One can be neither.

This is typical of liberal bigotry,because I don't go along with this current love in I am a racist.
Is South Africa a better place because of Nelson Mandela,I contend its not
White south Africa mourning his passing says all that needs to be said....a giant of a man
nearly all of richter dichters posts have mentioned water pistols recently,wierdo.
It would be hard for anyone not to have respect for Mandela as a man but there does seem to be a lot of phony sentiment about, when he's 6 foot under the family will be tearing each other apart for his money.
im going nowhere richters you little cream cake.where is zipifried btw? dont you post under this username anymore or was he banned?
There will be some massive row over Nelsons Nelsons.
The coverage of the death of a 95 year old has been nauseating in its sycophancy,a South African hero maybe but minutes silence at European sporting venues is miles over the top.
