maybe the "international press" and people who don't know shit about South Africa should just keep their ignorance to themselves. it's embarrassing, albeit entertaining.

Damn, you guys must be a RIOT at funerals:
Priest: "Dearly beloved we are gathered here to celebrate the life, and mourn the death, of our dear friend, Joe Smith. He was a loving father, a compassionate husband and a great, great friend. He..."
albums: "Actually, guys, i think he was kind of a dick sometimes"
robotron3K: "Totally. Bought him a coffee once and all he did was say 'thank you'. No reciprocation, no favors, nothin'"
albums: "What a dick move."
Priest: "Um, sirs..."
robotron3K: "And i think he jerked off quite a bit. Like more than normal."
albums: "And he was a complete racist."
robotron3K: "Really?!?"
albums: "i dunno. Could be"
robotron3K: "Bet you're right. Anyway, we just wanted you guys to know the truth. Like the REAL truth. YO"
albums: "So is there food after this thing or...?"- :)eoin

^ @yurimon... The world isn't black and white. Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nel…
Mandela was a controversial figure for much of his life. Denounced as a Marxist terrorist by critics,[1][2] he nevertheless gained international acclaim for his activism, having received more than 250 honours, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Soviet Order of Lenin and the Bharat Ratna. He is held in deep respect within South Africa, where he is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, or as Tata ("Father"); he is often described as "the father of the nation".
- It would have been an honor to have a drink and talk with Mandela, extraordinary willpower and determination.ZOOP

Deal with it.ORAZAL - < you missed the point. I think it is saying while the US (in the 80's) were happily supporting terrorist organisation Al Qaeda against the Soviet Union they were happily branding Mandela a terrorist.fadein11
