Nelson Mandela was not Jesus Christ.
If anything he was Joan of Arc. The mascot which rallied a great army.

And as far as asking me to apoligise to Hopscotch, get a life Huckleberry, because it isn't going to happen.
Just think for a moment how you would react if tomorrow you lost your freedom. How would you feel ? Would you just shrug your shoulders and say "Oh well" ? Would you feel something quite valuable had been stolen from you ? Would you strive to correct this obvious injustice ? What limitations would you put on your actions towards restoring your freedom ? Would you feel any animosity towards those responsible for this injustice ? "Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground". 🙂

I'm not entirely sure why, perhaps it's because it makes you look uglier, or tougher, when you arrive all bloody. Next you might consider falling in with one of the gangs for protection, and getting a hobby, like reading. Don't mess with the guards in any way, they're generally a close-knit bunch and you don't want them to remember your face.

Originally posted by hopscotchIsn't there something about the advantage of arranging to be driven there rather than going in the van? My uncle mentioned something like that. And then there are ways of being allocated to more salubrious sections. Like hospital.

From what ive seen on the television today, one thing is for sure, you and Hopscotch are certainly in the minority. The majority of the world today is mourning the passing of Mandela. And as far as asking me to apoligise to Hopscotch, get a life Huckleberry, because it isn't going to happen.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundRead it again. I wasn't suggesting you were in a minority of people who don't have free speech. I was suggesting you were in a minority of people who thought that Mandela wasn't a good person. And as far as blaming England for treating Black people like crap, I don't even know were your coming from on that one. You could say the same about every civilized country on the planet.
