Nelson Mandela, terrorist, bomber, murderer

In the midst of the global heart rending at hsi death, lets not forget just what he was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umkhonto_we_Sizwe[^] Umkhonto we Sizwe was set up by Mandella and has been responsible for many deaths and injuries. So yeah, Martin Luther King he isnt, Bin Laden he is. So lets keep things in perspective eh?
So what's your take on Mandela/ANC compared to the regime they were fighting? Serious answer please.

I am on their side actually. It was just the Englich Civil War part 2, fighting against a king trying to impose unjust taxation. In fact many at the time were also on their side, many British Officiers refused to take part in any attempt to control the rebellion.

Thank you, I'll wear that title with pride. It's abusive because you're merely making an issue out of it due to the emotional point that you don't like to ignore the fact that hero's and saint's do not exist by definition.

What on earthis that supposed to mean? I am abusive because I am emotionally NOT ignoring the fact saints dont exist? How the hell does that work?

Of course aparthied was wrong, but it wasnt unique to SA, the US also had it, and it was also fought against, but passively. And thats the difference. King was a hero, Mandella a terrorist.

How did you react when Bin Laden died?

But the level of oppression between the US and SA was also on quite different levels. Especially when you take the level of official oppression in account.

:wondering: *from all these madiba post (including this one), rants etc, who is actually born, raised and still living in RSA. :doh: Having opinion of who actually lived through all this? And would you dare admit you might be wrong? Luckily freedom of speech allows for own opinions :laugh: I am getting my popcorn, this is going to be a good one :-\

unjust taxation
I pity you. I never knew unjust taxation was a greater crime than apartheid.
Is that supposed to be clever or something? I merely point out to Dave that I would be on the side of the english rebels and you attempt to make it look as if I think unjust taxation is worse than apartheid. Where did you fail to read the bit where I described Martin Luther King as noble and heroic for his passive fight against segregation? Oh sorry, yes, you just plain forgot to read that bit in your quest for cheap virtue by trying to paint me a racist. Idiot.

Even trolls should have respect for the dead.

I dont know how much it varied between the US and SA, however blacks were killed in the south. They had to cross the street if a white woman walked down their side of the road, get on their knees and remove their hat if they passed a white man on the pavement. I dont know that SA was worse than that, I dont see how it could be worse.

It's the one he uses on letters and cheques as well... ;)

I am not speaking ill of the dead, merely pointing out the cras hypocrisy of the worlds leaders today. And anyone here who hero worships him. And if you think thats abusive then you are a fool.
