Politics & Government Nelson Mandela - Rest in Peace

[Tulip]

Devastating. R.I.P Nelson Mandela.

 

[benji2]

RIP Nelson Mandela. The world needs more of you.

 

[SugarShane]

He's posting on facebook?

Sweet, Heaven has Wifi.

 

[Impunity!]

I am waiting for Caesar to call it, until then I call bullshit

sheeple

A sad loss, but as this thread proves, hardly unexpected. The quality of comment from various commentators and politicians, and the slickness of the media coverage are such, it's as if they had been prepared beforehand. Studied spontaneity is now the stuff of journalism.

 

[Caesar]

Ever since I started this thread, there has been no evidence that he was ever alive except for statements by his family and the government.

Just sayin'.

It was remiss of the family not to rebut your assertion, and this is the essential issue currently to be addressed. Still, at least you can say you were right, eventually. Your moment in the sun.

Just let it go, it really is pathetic. Admit you were wrong and move on.

A Gareth Evans pre-recorded interview now being shown on ABC TV. An industry is born.

 

[The Passenger]

personally i think he was dead years ago but it was just a conspiracy to have him publicly die on the same day as my ex-gf's birthday. not bitter or anything. just sayin'.

 

[galindez]

What a champ. Rest in the most peace ever.

 

[Messenger]

Let's just discuss his legacy, huh.

He was always a one to embrace the 'big picture', so what you say rings true.

 

[skilts]

Quite so. We wouldn't want to upset him at this late stage. Let's just contemplate how much closer we all are to sainthood by the mere fact of having shared a planet with such a man. Such a pity he won't be here to hear and see it. Then again, maybe not. My bet is he'd be vomiting in his death bed, were he still able.

sheeple

if you want to add to that, there's a few posters here that will support you..

This guy was our enemy once, more so than Assange and Snowden.

I smell a Morgan Freeman oscar.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

An extraordinary life.

I smell a Morgan Freeman oscar.

I smell a zombie movie.

Screw that... He died on my current gf birthday.. Here we are sipping Jerusalem artichoke consommé and this guys dies... Her words... Oh on my birthday too..

I said never mind dear, he's been dead for weeks, The Passenger told me so.


All things aside, RIP to a man that lived a grand long life. Bisous

 

[pantskyle]

I smell a zombie movie.

Would watch then watch again.

 

[Bluelegs]

A great man with an incredible legacy; and like all inspirational revolutionaries, not immune to amusing merchandising:

 

[Hatchy1992]

If I could live half the life he did. I would die a happy man.

RIP to a true legend.

 

[little graham]

I find it a touch ironic that the media are using clips of him handing over the Rugby WC trophy to the winning captain.



I'll be off my food for weeks.

Any KIWI's here?

 

[OzBomber]

Really is a sad reflection on society when there was more stuff about Paul Walker's death on my Facebook news feed than there has been for Mandela.

RIP to an incredible individual.
