All right, let's keep this topic good-natured then. Remember Dave Chappelle's hilarious impression of Nelson Mandela in "Nelson Mandela Boot Camp"?

"You think Mandela doesn't know what this is? You think Mandela doesn't know what is popping on the streets?"

Do you ever watch bad movies?

There is a time and place for that, here an now isn't.

You're a good kid.

This is totally disrespectful for Nelson Mandela and each one of you dragging his name in the mud should be ashamed of yourselves.

Speaking as the resident South African, all I can say is that I am glad the Old Man (note the caps) has no more pain, no more suffering and is at peace. 95! I should be so lucky to live that long and have such an eventful life. As far as anything political goes, on that I have no opinion.

Or, like a true gentleman, you will keep your political opinions to yourself.

There is a time and place for that, here an now isn't. no matter how hard you try, you are acting like they kid who cried wolf. True at the end, whiny brat who wants attention at the beginning.

it got a bit tempestuous in here, I hope everyone's still friends

[indianasmith]

Me?  I love everybody.  El Misfit hates everybody.  Same as before!

I think he should definitely be remembered for the good he tried to do. Some view him as an over-glorified terrorist. Even if he wasn't a saint, I feel that might be a bit harsh, considering the good he tried to achieve. South Africa still has alot of problems these days, notably crime and corruption. I'd like to see it change for the better in the future.

It always seems unsettling when a man of such world prominence passes,whether you agree with his views or not.
