Q: is 27 years in prison a joke?
he did 27 years in Prison of his life due to apartheid system, so that his his progeny could enjoy 1. food clothing and shelter, Freedom , justice and equality, .....and finally: Love Peace and equality.

You ask the question as if someone of importance made of joke of it. Care to elaborate why your sentence is more like a statement rather than a question ?
Iron12:
thanks silver...ive cooled down now and my answer is quite silly really: this yongge dude said a lot of racist stuff, and i will NEVER take that lying down, i work too hard....you are right he is of no importance, who is he anyway??? Yes i confess im an emotional person[a step closer to knowing iron12] and quite frankly 'we' are still angry, thats that so people should not pick old wounds, im sick and tired of these racist rants on ECC,
hence i addressed that issue because issues should not be ignored but be addressed.
here in expat community there is an issue and im addressing.
danke

@iron12. Ok, I figured there was more to our question than meets the eye. But in reality, no...nobody would consider 27 years in prison to be "a joke". Thats many years of a persons life. As for the racism...hey, its something that some/many humans do. Its a part of life. Im not saying I agree with it, but only that it exists, and wont be going away any time soon. Cheers.
yongge:
I wish you peace, boy. Sounds like you have a lot of demons in your head.
Nope. 27 years in prison is pretty far from being a joke. I bet Tata Madiba doesn't think so either.
Nothing to do with China but I agree with you!
Similar to Aung San Suu Kui in Myanmar. After decades of house arrest she's finally seeing the day when the Democratic Party she leads is getting elected. Jia you Myanmar!
He did 27 years in prison because he was a terrorist who killed people. He could have been released long before 27 years if he had sworn not to use violence, but he didn't. The corrupt, violent spiral your country is in is his legacy.
CDiable:
You're the biggest idiot on this forum.. And that's saying something!
Lord_hanson:
Your thinking of the wrong mandela. Winnie Mandela was a violent person, I may go as far to say she enjoyed the violence too far. Not sure her husband was as bad as you are making him to be.
Iron12:
@ yongge there you go showing how much of an idiot you are....i really think you are a pedophile up in here...no morals whatsoever
yongge:
Diable, who are you to call me names, you don't even know me? To set the record straight, Mandela was in prison for high treason, because he planted bombs and later orchestrated the planting of bombs from his prison cell. Maybe you should do a bit of research before you just fire away. Let me tell you another thing - if you have to pick up the limbs of dead people, blasted to bloody pieces by terrorist bombs, and have friends who were maimed by these bombs, planted by your freedom fighters,you tend to look at things differently. You see, I was there.
As for Mandela, like many South Africans I gave him a chance and I hoped for the best for my country, but sadly this hope has been betrayed by him and his followers. I respect him for what he tried to do, but he never spoke out at the corruption and violence that came in waves, while he was still alive, now the country is a shadow of what it once was and the potential to become a great place is in the gutters. I have my views, and I can justify every single one of them with facts and experience, and you can call me what you want, but I will not waver from them. And ironhead houtkop, what are you doing in China, couldn't you get a quota job in SA?
Iron12:
@yongge honky what the hell are u doing in china/ i have a job here because i have wings, finish and klar!!!
Iron12:
@yongge what was the cause of that freaking terrorism???? you apartheid mongrel!!!, that day is over!!!! face the new day you IDIOT!!!
Iron12:
@yongge, u got me started now....your country????? get outta here
CDiable:
No point arguing with a fully fledged special needs case.. The guy has no logical sense!
Iron12:
@ CDiable, thank you very much...you have no idea what ray of light you shine in this 'abyss' thank you more for your time and consideration and may God bless you and yours 7 fold for this simple effort of addressing a nonsense issue....personally im tired of these racists sucking my blood life...YES, im still angry about apartheid, but like Madiba, i choose to move on, but hey!!! ....but hey!!....anywayt peace Fam!
