Nelson Mandela, the revered statesman who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid, has died, South African President Jacob Zuma announced late Thursday. He was 95.

Well Lupa, theres number 2 of 3. I wonder who the last will be.

 

[chalupa]

Dude, like 10 million people have died since Paul Walker, and some of them have been important. Just because you only know two of them doesn't make this true.

Just be sure, though, to not walk under a ladder.

 

[Telaso]

Not a single of them are as important as Mandela was.

 

[BigMattTheHobo]

Chalupa is enraged lmao

 

[Telaso]

I know! I deserve a cookie for this one

 

[Devastation the Almighty]

I don't get it.

 

[chalupa]

Good thing, because after the third one dies, nobody will ever die again.

:facepalm:

Now i'm worried that Telaso is going to go slit Raven Symone's throat just so he can be proven right.

 

[silberfuchs]

RIP.

Nobody gives a damn Mandela was one of the founding members of Spear of the Nation, an organisation that's responsible for the deaths of over a hundred innocent civilians?

That we know about, at least. The mines in Transvaal probably killed a lot more in the years to follow.

 

[BigMattTheHobo]

Didn't he leave it when imprisoned?

 

[Fero]

So? If I form a gang, kill 140 people and go to jail for it, am I forgiven when I leave that gang?

 

[Devastation the Almighty]

Depends on which lame-duck president is in power at the time.

My question is, was that violence carried out or ordered by him?

I'm well aware of the allegations, but I haven't seen a factual timeline of events.



Redemption for terrorists is an interesting idea. Some people feel the ends justifies the means, like the Union army committing terrorism against the south. I don't think the ends justifies violence against innocent people in any case

 

[chalupa]

When will people get it that there is no "nice" war. War is hell. People get killed. Frankly, I think we are trying to bring civility to an uncivil process, and only make ourselves look stupid by doing so.

He was part of the "resistance" or he was a "terrorist." It all depends on who wins.

I was going to post on facebook:

"I'm so glad Nelson Mandela died so you uninformed assholes could post quotes he has been making for 70 plus years and you just discovered today on my news feed."

Ordered by him, what makes it even worse.

Source? I'm not debating but I would like more info

 

[Fero]

Got my info mostly from Long Walk to Freedom. Guess it's pretty reliable on that account.
