Obama gives a hell of a speech

Mandela's last photoshoot.

Make sure you play the video at the top of the page. You really get the feel how he was one of those larger than life people who affect everyone around him in a great way.

One of the rare greats.

Oh geez, I just went here to RIP to one of the absolutely greatest leaders in history. And then saw your little bittchfight...

Oh and what's Obama doing in this thread? His sole similarity to Mandela is his colour.

RIP to one of the most inspirational men of all time.

whatever you say....you are right...you are always right.....:^o :^o :^o :-" :-"

You can't differentiate between a comment deriding your opinion and a personal attack. #-o You have never been on the receiving end of a personal attack which you haven't instigated. So why don't you take a pinch of your own advice for a change?

thanks...;) :-"

glad you enjoyed.......if you going to dish it out Joshy you got to be able to take it.....

Good contribution. I can't wait for the next time you bitch about a 'personal attack'.

and you sound like a bitch on your rags.............

I never said 'I meant something else'. I acknowledged that I made a general statement initially, then justified and clarified it in the next post.

You made a statement and after you'd been called out said "no, I didn't say that", then said "no, I didn't mean that I meant something else". That is the essence of moving the goalposts.

There are many countries who have similar laws.


Fuck off Zim. You made a statement which was wrong. Then you moved the goalposts despite being quoted word for word to have said exactly what you denied. You sound like batfink.[/quote]

I later corrected and justified my statement. I moved no goalposts. I made my statement too general initially, later corrected it and now you carrying on like ive started world war 3.

Fuck off Zim. You made a statement which was wrong. Then you moved the goalposts despite being quoted word for word to have said exactly what you denied. You sound like batfink.

And as aspiring journalist zimbos you should concerned with NDAA he personally signed off on to prison journalists who wont give up there source if required by the powers that be.

This

Mandela was a leader. Obama is an Goldman Sachs executive.

End of story.

So now you take every word literally. Ive clarified my statement. I stand by what I said.

Why cant you just accept that the joke was insensitive and not warranted? Why do we always feel the need to resort to such petty standards.

I never said he is scared to do 'anything'. I said he is scared to push forward and go for it. In fact, its the difference between politicians of the modern age and politicians from before. Politicians before would take a bullet for what they stood for and they were the minority. Polticians today are the leaders and majority and they afraid. Everything must be 'diplomatic'

Oooohhh, health care. What a damn freaking soldier. Best be careful he doesn't get locked up in a prison and his wife get beaten up.

Comparing Obama to Mandela? Lets be serious.

Obama has stood up to assassination threats and continued to make several attempts to change american society through introducing medicare and gun reforms only to be shut down by republicans every step of the way.

So tell me again how he's not prepared to die for the cause and how he's "scared to do anything".

Prove me wrong. Come on Josh. You seem to know it all, so lets do this.

It was in poor taste, but you expect nothing less from those on the Internet. Mind you, we've seen FAR WORSE, on the Internet, by those much more faceless and even cowardly (In regards to the kind of obscene, racist etc remarks that are left on less-than-perfectly moderated comments sections of News Sites etc).

A some people, comedians (Though ironically, many ACTUAL comedians don't!), like to push those bounds of taste/timing (Which for many is their Raison d'être), the old 'is it 'too soon'' or what not and I'm sure, inevitably, Seinfeld and what not have had 'discussions' or even 'observational humour' in regards to that, too.

Back on topic - For whatever it's worth - Nelson Mandela, R.I.P.

Please just shut up. The more you talk the more wrong you get.

RIP Morgan Freeman.

Nelson Mandela was a great man, a man who fought for what was right and won. His death leaves the world a poorer place, a world in much need of more men and women who like him can lead nations in the right direction. A sad day.

Mate, 2-1. BESAAAARRRTTT!!!!!!!!! :p

What does suck is how a fate in this mortal coil is the same for Mandela and some guy called Zyzz

Zimbo's still stinging from Man U's loss earlier this week, ;)

Rest in time

All fair and well that your family were part of the anti-apartheid protests, and im sure their efforts are very much appreciated. But for families that actually lived it, its a different story.
