I suppose that I will be shot down in flames again - but here is FACT!!

 

As you all probably know,I lived for many years in South Africa. There were was open drunkeness, NO smashing of bus shelters, no drunken graffiti - and this was down to ONE reason and ONE reason only.

They have a system - if ANYBODY (old or young, male or female) starts misbehaving through alcohol, they are arrested!!

They are put into a cell and allowed to sober up. They are then taken into court the following morning, they are told exactly what they did the night before and asked to plead. (Being drunk and not knowing what you are doing is not a plea)

If they are found guilty, they are sentenced to a caning - right there and then!!

 

There are NO drunken escapades!!

 

 

Holding up South Africa as a parogon of virtue espeacialy the period that you were there Klienie as a good example of how sound Justice should be dealt out is a bit iffy to say the least.

FB - A country that was pilloried for it's Apartheid regime, and yet there was more racism in this country than there!

But that is not the question!!

There are two camps - one camp says under NO cicumstances must you lift a finger to a minor, no matter what!!

The other camp agrees with the fact that there must be no beatings, but ONE smack on the legs will do more good than harm!!

By the way, the government has relented and it is now legal to smack a child "providing the smack leaves no lasting mark!"

You don't have to ask what side I am on!!

Realy? where were the whites only beaches in devon?

[kleinboet]

There may have been no "whites only beach" (which was repealed before I left in 1986) but we had the Asians, Blacks and Chinese offering to to work the Christian holidays, as we recognised all of their festivals!

Ask the majority of black people who were employed by the major companies - they got free uniforms, boots or shoes, accommodation, food etc. and a bloody good wage.

They were happy!! Look at the black ruled African Countries now!! Zimbabwe should be held up as an excellent example!

If you ever travelled to the country you would understand the problems that the countries had!

As an example: All people who have worked with the indiginous people would understand that they cannot farm on a large scale - subsistent farming, yes - farming of several thousand acres, no.

I know what you are saying Klienie but its not Just apartied Is it? Terrible things whent on in that country dreadfull breaches of Human Rights,Holding up a few instances of Diversity in a at the time universily Villiefied nation I feel is weak, You hold up Zimbabwe as a example of a black mans poor governance I will hold up Botswana as an example of what is possible given time.

That one sentence perfectly illustrates why anyone with even just one solitary functioning brain cell wouldn't take a blind bit of notice of your outdated, bigoted, racist, ludicrously out of touch views.

 

You're an anachronism Kleinboet, you really belong in another age, it's interesting you left Africa when the indigenous population started regaining some control!

[kleinboet]

Jeepster, sorry to disapoint you, I left South Africa BECAUSE I did not agree with some of the policies!

Am I saying that most South African blacks were happy under the Apartheidt regime - YES!!!

 

You offer Botswana - I wouldn't!!

What you don't understand is that the only stories you heard, were the ones that the media wanted you to see!! As an example - A police station is attacked and the entire inhabitants white and black, were slaughtered with the exception af a young black constable who hid in a cupboard. It was reported in SOME newspapers in the middle pages!

less than two weeks later another police station was attacked and, using a Zulu strategy put women and children in front! The police warned that anybody crossing a demarkated line would be shot, the women and children were pushed forward and the police opened fire.

The next day the attack at Sharpville police station made headlines in EVERY newspaper in the world!!.... Pity they didn't ask why it was women and children and NOT men!!

I know these AN threads can start to wander a little but have I lost the plot or were we talking about yobs throwing dogs off buildings?

 

Why did drunken South African beach bums come in?
