  1. Its bullshit, the cop is innocent, see the CCTV feed from another angle and it proves the cops innocence.

  5. It's my understanding that the prime motivation behind the One Laptop per Child Project is education. Does the founder have a wider vision to development, perhaps? There may be additional non-obvious connections: The guy who started OLPC founded the MIT Media Lab ... which is where Mike Best did his PhD and worked as a research scientist prior to his current affiliation. VR/Marg Laptops? For the majority of Africans development is having clean water to drink (notice I didn't say clean running water, that would be the next step for many) As for one laptop for one child the guy who came up with that must be a ancestoral relative of Marie Antoinette, I guess laptops are todays cake.

  6. http://www.southafricanfoodshop.com/ Now look what my GF found for me .... she sent me some biltong (much to my bosses delight) and we shared it over a few cold beverages. I just put another order in for some Biltong and some Ouma's Rusks ;-) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  7. Thank you Erroll, I also agree about Christels post and Frenchys. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
  8. It was not the European way 100 years ago.reply] Of course the Greeks might disagree. I disagree Chineese culture, Arab culture and African culture is inherantly non democratic that doesn't make them wrong just different.

  9. Democracy as I've argued in the past is not a universal truth. It is not the African way. We Europeans came to Africa and in general imposed our rule on the locals as there were shit loads more of them than there were us we used the local tribal structure to our advantage. Africans had a hieracial structure to their society which made it easier for us to bung a wedge or cattle at the tribal chiefs or if they were not playing ball find one of his cousins or brother who was willing to get rid of the chief in return for our support and wealth in return they'd play ball. When they got to upperty we'd send in our troops or local Africans who we'd pressed into the army who were often from rival tribes and only to happy to give the upstarts the good news on the end of a bayonet. Then we'd start all over again with another more plyable chief in charge and bung him a wedge. Thing is nothing much has changed, most black Africans are quite child like when it comes to money and have little sense in managing it. Thanks to Christian misionarys wanting to spread the word they allowed converts to keep remnants of their ancestor worship and mix it with Christianity. One result is that many Africans believe that the more you spend on a lavish funeral and the more you have the more likely God will look faviourably on you when you die. Power here has always been ostentatious whether it be the number of cattle you own or the flashiness of your car its just the way it is. African leaders have to be seen to be strong and seen to be wealthy. Any wonder then why they are an easy mark for our corporations and governments. I wonder how long it will take before the black government of South Africa turn this awesome country into a new version of Zimbabwe.

    Saudi Arabia?

    They also spend billions of that oil money on weapons systems and asorted defence contracts. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

    Saudi Arabia?

    I don't agree with the laws but they are the laws of the land. If I go to someone elses country I have to abide by their laws. Why should the American woman be any different? As for why we 'tolerate' those laws its none of our business. if the Norway, USA UK governments (et al) gave a fuck about people rather than profits then maybe they would take their business elsewhere but the truth of the matter is they don't money comes first. People way way way way down on the list if they are on it at all. Lifes a bitch, shit sandwich anyone?

  17. Hi Cristel, I'm in Jo'burg this week and then I'll be in Cape Town for two more weeks. Then back in London for four days then I'll be in Austria (Vienna) for a week.

  19. I think he is talking about the more civil elements of Sharia law such as divorce and inheretance. So I think you'd be able to opt fr either Sharia or UK law depending on your wishes. Personnally I'm against such a move as I feel it would be the start of a slippery slope.

  20. As someone who was born here (into a Muslim family) raised here and is British I feel quite strongly that the law of England is quite enough (Scotland having their own laws). if I want to live under Sharia law I'd move to a country that practices it. I wouldn't like Jewish people to have seprate laws in the UK and I feel the same way about Muslims.
