      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.

        Whats that got to do with it? OK, my dads from cape town, my brother lives there now. Does that make any difference? He was a terrorist, the world forgetting that fact shows how utterly two faced it is.

              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.

              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.

                        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.

                        The American government is setup so that you can passively fight against it. The SA government was so oppressive a passive fight would have done nothing, right? Not to justify violence but would a passive fight have even worked? Perhaps he did try passive first.

                          Well, the was a "song", if you can call it that, some years ago with the title Fatboy slim is elefanting in heaven or something like that. Maybe the name was a reference to that "song".

                            The point I wanted to make is that you support English rebels who indulged in armed resistance against unjust taxation but you label an armed resistance against apartheid as terrorism. I cannot see it as anything else other than bigotry and racism.

                                It was legalized. But then again, if you go back more than one hundred years the US had slavery. I read a document a while ago that made that comparison, I'll see if I can find it again. BTW, I notice that you didn't really answer my original question.

                                    There is a difference between a militia taking on an army and a terrorist killing civilians thorugh bombs. I would have thought that quite obvious.

                                      You tell me. But you didn't answer my question. I can't believe anyone would think that the US and SA are the same.

                                        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?

                                        Doesn't seem like you read your own link. "it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force." Comparing Mandela with bin Laden is beyond absurd. Marc

                                          He's a Troll - it doesn't have to make sense as long as it gets a response. I've already had to invoke Godwin's Law, but he hasn't shut up... Basically: Don't Feed The Troll! :laugh:

                                          Thats right, lable anyone whose opinions you disagree with a troll. Its so easy isnt it. Saves you from having to be tollerant.
