Yeah, those Apartheid-missing prudes at Solidarity seem to be on an intense campaign to support violence and rape against woman and children. It’s a well known fact to anyone with a basic education, that you can see a correlation between rape and porn, however, its only those with a higher education that can that the correlation is that the more porn there is, the less sexual violence there is.
The good nats at Solidarity have taken us another step backwards towards Apartheid as they push their Calvinistic religious prudency onto the rest of the population. Im guessing all members who were against the MultiChoice DSTV porn channel must be hectic porn addicts as well. I mean… if it’s a matter of just not wanting to watch the porn… you wouldn’t watch ... or subscribe to the service. Since these “people” have such an issue with the porn channel I can only assume that they are sexual addicts and would not be able to control their own urges to not watch the porn.
After this religious fanatical crusade by Solidarity I have lost all respect for them and their causes. I cant trust anything that they say and do after their latest attempt to pervert freedom of expression and choice and their blatant promotion of sexual violence and rape against woman and kids.
Its very clear that Solidarity is still stuck in the 1980`s and so desperately wants to claw us back to a time period where our porn magazines had more stars than the Milky Way.
Just so you know I am not talking crap and they are, here are a couple of links to educate you:

http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=913013
To the people at Solidarity, please stop taking us back towards Apartheid and their fked up morality. Its twisted and wrong. If you do not like porn.. dont watch it? Yeah.. it really is that easy, and to make things even easier.. dont subscribe to it! Stop taking away other peoples rights and freedoms for your religious hangups.
UPDATE: There are lots of angry people all over the Internet that are really angry at those people with religious hangups (a very vocal and rancid minority known as "Helping Hand"... a religious cartel that is involved with Solidarity) and their subversion of our rights.
In response to the attack on our freedoms and choices many people online have started their own petition. To remove religious programming from DSTV. I ask all readers and members of this site please to voice your opinion at the following petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/sdr00001/petition.html to get all religious programming removed from DSTV.
It is well known fact that religion has killed, maimed and destroyed more peoples lives than porn ever could.
So I am a South African and I find myself in Manila in the Far East, so anything I write below is based on my experience of Internet in South Africa and comparing it to an Internet service provider in the Philippines called “Sun Cellular”.
Let me get right to the point. Under no circumstances unless you are desperate and have no choice use them as an Internet service provider.
Some tech info. I have 97% signal. I have nothing else running, the computer I am using is well setup and clean.
Here are my reasons:
1) The advertise speeds of up to 2000kbs. This is a marketing scam. What they mean is for about an hour a day you will get 200Kbs, then the rest of the time your connection is strangled at a constant (and I mean it hardly waivers unless it gets worse) 20Kbs. You might as well go dial-up.
2) Their service and web support is pretty much non-existent. They clearly got a bunch of kids together with crayons to build their website. They say if it looks cheap it probably is… in this case Sun Cellular both look and are cheap. Don’t expect to have a modern day support system, just a call desk full of people with no technical ability.
3) Don’t expect to play any games like World of Warcraft or DOTA. It seems the trained monkeys who work at Sun Cellular don’t know how to prioritize legitimate traffic. Let me put it this way, I pay more for my World of Warcraft subscription than I do for my Internet… so I am forking out a lot of money for this. Its legal LOW BANDWIDTH legitimate traffic. Playing World of Warcraft requires a constant stable stream of data (it’s a very tiny insignificant amount)… but Sun Cellular techies are unable to identify legitimate traffic from p2p traffic.
If you play WOW, expect your internet connection to drop around 50 times a night.
4) Your internet connect gets shaped, mangled and perverted in many ways. There is no routable IP address if you want to run services, there is no real quality of service.
5) Don’t expect to browse websites like YouTube, listen to streaming audio, or most things you would use an Internet connection for. Forget about it. Get another provider if you actually want to use the Internet for more than just browsing Facebook at slow speeds.
6) Don’t expect to be able to run VoIP services on Sun Cellular. A VoIP connection uses more bandwidth than my game of WoW… so you can imagine how terrible this important service runs on their network.
In my opinion there are only three types of Sun Cellular clients. Those that don’t know any better so continue to use them. Those that are desperate and have no other choice… and prostitutes. I say prostitutes because the only reason you would continue to use them as an Internet service provider is because you like being f##ked.
To the management at Sun Cellular. WAKE THE HECK UP! Even Africa provides better quality Internet than you do! Hire people with real experience and know how, and don’t over subscribe your network!
To everyone else. My suggestion is use a DSL provider like PLDT:
http://www.myworldmydsl.com/
Currently I am paying 799 pesos for “unlimited” (what they mean to say is “strangled and throttled to dial up speeds) Internet. When you get the bill at the end of the month there is also however an extra 200 peso (what I call) “mystery charge. So in all and all you are paying 1099 peso for a terrible connection.
Rather get PLDT Mydsl for 999 pesos (at a constant 512kbs).
If you are wondering where I got the time to write all of this, it’s pretty simple. Sun Cellular’s service is so terrible; I am unable to do anything else.
You can say a lot of good and bad things about Russia... some good things about its people and history.. mostly bad things about its leaders. One thing that has always fascinated me is propaganda. I love looking at all sides... looking at how they craft their stories and news sources and comparing the data.
So today I am browsing pravada.ru. One of Russia`s largest online news sources. Call it their version of CNN or something. When you browse the website you instantly see the influence of the Russian government in their news media. Let me give you a couple of examples.
Right off the the bat you notice theres something different about this "news source"... firstly... its the first online newspaper that seems to advertise and be a show point for military weapons. Its a lot like reading a Military website.. infused with People magazine.
On this English translation I find three examples of Russian penis comparison :
http://english.pravda.ru/russia/kremlin/11-08-2009/108764-russia_ukraine-0
I cant ever remember reading CNN or BBC and see`ing so many examples of trying to show off its (rather carp) military weapons.
The next thing you will notice are several very beautiful mostly Russian woman in almost no clothing. Hmmm.. weapons and woman... now dont get me wrong, I as much as the next chap enjoy looking and learning about both.. but not really from my daily newspaper.
So I follow the link in the URL I mentioned earlier and I moved onto another Russian "news" website.. called "MoscowTopNews".... and guess what.. theres ever more weapons and even more scantly clad woman.
http://www.moscowtopnews.com/?area=postView&id=922
I guess missile envy does come from being small ;)
Okay, laughable content aside.. just read the news articles. They are so badly written I think someone in Moscow just pushed them through Google Translate and hoped for the best.
What I find more interesting is how the articles are worded and the general nature of the articles. They all appear to attack anyone who disagrees with the Kremlin on several different levels. They all seem extremely polarized as well! Bugger ANY kind of objective journalism or even an attempt at objective journalism. You can see they are concentrated media campaigns against whoever has their goat at the moment.
If its about Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia, America, Britain, Poland or any one of several other countries... basically just about every single article will be in some way defamatory of their targets. Theres basically no neutral news or positive news of those countries whatsoever (though I am not including the sports or weather sections).
I wont lie.. browsing through their science section is the funniest thing ever. I honestly for the light of me.. dont know if they are being serious, stupid or having fun there... but at the very least its a joke at the worst.. its still a joke.
A "science photo" http://english.pravda.ru/photo/report/muzei-966/
What I do notice is the same adverts, same stories and same spelling mistakes across several of their websites.
For instance, both pravada and moscowtopnews point (with an advert stating "Russia designs new destructive weapon") to the same "Georgian Times" websites. Which is basically a Russian made website pretending to be Georgian... and basically ragging Georgia but supporting the illegal countries of South Ossetia and Abkhazia (the parts of Georgia Russia recently conquered).
Its absolutely an amazing journey reading through Russian news. However.. even though its all very entertaining to read and follow I just cant get around at how stupid their propaganda machine is. Its so obvious and so dumb I really cant understand how Russian Intelligence could be so thick. Its like 0 thought actually when into presentation and trying to cover their dishonesty.
Anyone with half a brain can see that is government controlled hate and news speech.
Sure, we might be constantly subjected to all kinds of propaganda from different directions, but Russia takes the Crayon Cake when it comes to child like attempt at media control.
My advice to Putins rather backwards FSB.. hire someone with some kinda media intelligence folks. My personal advice to you on how to spin a story would be to hire one of the many "sell-my-ma" lawyer companies out there (like Schillings Lawyers). You clearly have no clue how to do the job so you really need to get this sorted if anyone is going to take you seriously.
Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri, infamously known as Poison Ivy died on Monday 6th of April 2009. I tried to think of some nice things to say about her, but every time I still think of her my blood boils.
Her stupidity, her greed, her selling out to the corporations to make herself fatter will not be forgotten. Her wealth came at the expense of the blood of South Africans. I know one should traditionally be respectful of the dead, but how is one respectful to someone who exploited and raped a countries communications industry?
We can only hope that the dark age of South African telecommunications is over with the passing away of Poison Ivy. There is an excited buzz of elation and expectation with this change and South Africans are starting to get excited about the future.
Let history not forget her crimes against the people.

South Africa needs science and South Africa needs prominent scientific voices. Unfortunately, like the media in much of the rest of the world, South Africa's media is not nearly welcoming enough to the skeptical and scientific views of the world. Luckily, we have great examples from the United States and elsewhere of how self-publication through blogs can affect public discourse, promoting science and acting as a counterweight to indifference, ignorance, and gullibility. However, unlike our comrades elsewhere, South African science bloggers are unconnected and not organized. I propose to change that...Read More
In 1994 the whole of South Africa voted for a new government, something to get away from the oppressive regime of the brutal Apartheid government. South Africans united against this inhumanity, and heroes were born.
The man who without a doubt is the most respected leader and polititian in the world is the great Nelson Mandela.
However, it appears that South Africa, with its population of just over 40 million souls… was only able to produce one good man. Nelson Mandela was able to prove the reasoning and actions behind Apartheid wrong.
Then along comes Thabo Mbeki.. at first the people of South Africa where happy. They believed that Thabo Mbeki would continue the healing and rebuilding legacy that Nelson had left behind and take South Africa and its new public image to new heights.
Our public image at the end of Mandela’s leadership was one of tolerance… a new nation of hope that pushed off the tyranny of fascism and embraced that of human rights, decency and understanding. A type of government never before seen on the African continent. A real and true roll model for the entire continent to follow.
Then along comes Thabo Mbeki. The greedy corrupt president of South Africa. He has basically being everything Nelson Mandela was not. He showed in his HIV/AIDS denialism that he is an easily led fool.
Under his leadership and denialism, the people of South Africa had to sue the government to get ARVs… and people died.
Under his leadership, South Africa used its vote to veto a call to help the Burmese people to escape their dictatorship and get basic human rights. Yes.. South Africa’s first vote on the UN security council is vote against the people of Burma and for their dictatorship. What a wanker.
We also have Thabo Mbeki to thank for corruption in big arms deals. For ham stringing South Africa’s education and health systems and for supporting and not punishing his corrupt officials.
Under Thabo Mbeki a climate of ultimate corruption… up to the top levels of our government has being allowed to spread. You all know the stories… if he is not supporting a crooked head of police, he is firing people for doing their jobs well.
None of us will forget him firing the Deputy Minister of Health, Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge for actually doing her job. For those of you who don’t remember her… she found out that one of our hospitals (The Frere Hospital in East London) was being so badly run .. that babies were dying left right and center simply because the staff at the Frere where too stupid, too uncompassionate, too corrupt and simply too evil. She tried to do something about this. She was fired by Mbeki.
Lets skip ahead to another chapter in Mbeki’s Satanic cookbook of success. One of Mbeki’s best boys.. our top policeman in the country… Selebi was found by our anti-corruption unit to be corrupt. There’s a surprise! What does Mbeki do to the person that uncovers the corruption? He fires the head of the unit.. Vusi Pikoli… unconstitutionally!!! (You will notice I use more exclamation marks as I get more upset)
So you would think the mayhem and evil from Thabo Mbeki would hopefully get ironed out with age. You would be wrong if you thought that. If anything, the evil of Mbeki’s legacy is spreading.
South Africa’s single greatest shame though (for me personally).. is how we have treated our neighbors. Thabo Mbeki has taken everything that the ANC and Nelson Mandela had built in its reputation, and then threw it out the window with his completely and unforgivable stupidity with how he has handled Robert Mugabe and the Zimbabwe situation.
Mbeki with help from his boyfriend Mugabe, has done more damage to the people of Zimbabwe and South Africa than Apartheid and the colonials ever did. Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans have being slaughtered under the current ZANU-PF regime.
That’s almost one hundred fold more damage and death than the racist regimes of South Africa’s Apartheid and Smiths Rhodesian forces ever did. If anything, Mugabe and Mbeki have made people like Ian Smith and Verwoerd look like decent, compassionate and honest people.
Tens of thousands of people in Zimbabwe are right now… at this moment, being tortured, abused and murdered by Mugabe. What does Mbeki do? The single biggest thing he has done throughout his entire leadership. Fuck all.
To the people of the world.. I know South Africa has let you down, and I know right now we must look like a stinking pile of dog poo to the international community as our corrupt leaders throw human rights out the windows, turn away from decent honest allies and embrace the corrupt and deadly governments of China, Russia and the Middle East.
Most of our current leadership are a bunch of corrupt thieves who don’t care one bit for the people of South Africa and are completely dedicated to their own greed. The South African government has shamed the people of South Africa and the only thing we can ask the world, is to please forgive us.. while we learn to deal with the evil and corrupt.
In closing, I would like to say as a South African. Dont trust the South African government and certainly dont trust Thabo Mbeki... It is trust wasted.
In this post, I am responding to a rather disgusting piece of "journalism" that I read today in the Zimbabwe Herald (Mugabe`s state run newspaper). I have put all Timothy's passages in block quotes, and my responses follow each of his comments. The link to the original article can be found at the end of this post.
Zim ‘crisis’ removed from reality
By Timothy Kalyegira
AS I focus these days on the dark deception at the international level, we turn today to the most extreme example: Zimbabwe. I have followed world media reports extensively but there is something I have not once heard asked or discussed: Why is Zimbabwe, once one of Africa’s most promising countries, where it is today? Or more pointedly, why is Zimbabwe reported and portrayed to be where it is today?
Simply put, because of the greed and evil of Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF cronies. Those sick sick people have destroyed the lives of millions and in my honest and humble opinion, I believe that every single one of them should be shot.
Let us start off by readily agreeing that President Robert Mugabe is an authoritarian leader, a tendency for which he is, needless to say, not alone in Africa.
Hang on there Timothy, yes, Robert Mugabe is an authoritarian leaders... that tends to come with course when one is a kleptocrat totalitarian dictator who has massacred hundreds of thousands of his countries people. A little conservative with that description there would you not say?
Having said that, everything else simply does not add up. Let us look at various inflation rates. Iraq for 2007: 64,80 percent; Afghanistan for 2007: 16,30 percent, according to the CIA World Factbook. The DR Congo for 2006: 14,4 percent; another African country in chaos, Burundi for 2006: 11 percent.
Then, a Voice of America radio broadcast on April 1, 2008 said: "In Somalia, continuing insecurity, a surge in food and fuel prices, and uncontrolled printing of money have created runaway inflation that is threatening the lives of millions already suffering from 18 years of war and lawlessness." What, then, is Somalia’s runaway rate of inflation after "18 years of war and lawlessness"? "Over 100 percent", according to the website indexmundi.com.
We have taken a look at a cross-section of some of the world’s most unstable countries: Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Burundi, the DR Congo and the figures for inflation we see are 14, 11, 64, 100 percent and so forth. Let us turn now to the world record holder, Zimbabwe. As of March 2008, the country’s inflation rate stood at 165 000 percent.
Zimbabwe has not had a single military coup since independence in 1980. No civil war, no war with any of its neighbours, no major drought or famine, no earthquake, no volcanic eruption and no floods caused by extreme rainfall, no locust invasion.
Furthermore, Zimbabwe has been ruled by a Zanu-PF Government from 1980-2008, by the same Prime Minister and later President Mugabe, pursuing the same economic policies, with the same management or mismanagement style.
I really hope there was a gun to your head when you wrote this... because you yourself point out the common factor for this devastation. As you rightly point out... countries like Somalia, Iraq and other war torn bloody parts of the world have lower inflation rates.
You do know what this means right? That Robert Mugabe and his evil country rapers have had a more devastating effect on Zimbabwe than white racism (Smith), war, famine, earth quakes, volcano's, floods, droughts and those locusts you mention.
This is a very very clear indication as to how terribly bad ZANU-PF has being to humanity.
Before the Mugabe Government started uprooting the white farmers in 2000, this Government kept inflation at 5 percent, 8 percent (or 11 percent in difficult years.) How, then, does a country with all the same factors and leaders from 1980 to 2000 suddenly (because the white commercial farmers have been uprooted) see inflation soar to world record levels in a space of just six years starting in 2000? And how is it that a stable Zimbabwe has an inflation rate 1 500 times higher than Somalia, a country without a government since 1991? Does any of this make sense?
Yes, complete sense. ZANU-PF totally destroyed the Zimbabwe economic base (white farmers who where working hard to supply themselves and the rest of the country) and plunged the country that was already suffering the tyranny of Robert Mugabe into a financial abyss. That what happens when you have syphilis infected leaders in command.
Away from abstract figures, the evidence before our ordinary eyes is even more puzzling. If you have watched news video footage on BBC TV, CNN, and other Western TV networks, without exception, you will no doubt have noticed that the streets of the capital Harare are far cleaner and better maintained than those in Kampala, even during the week that Uganda hosted the Commonwealth summit last November.
And this has what to do with the price of oranges? Clearly you must be more focused on clean street rather than basic human rights.
Have you seen any beggars on Harare’s streets? Have you taken the time to notice clean and well-painted Government buildings in Harare?
I notice that ZANU-PF and its ilk killed, rounded up, detained, harassed or attacked the beggars. That works I hear.. but then so did Apartheid. Both where really stupid ideas. This isnt a point at all Timothy.
During the recent presidential campaign rallies, you might have noticed that both the supporters of President Mugabe and the opposition were generally well-dressed, looked and acted cheerful. Nobody wore rags or went about barefooted.
Not from the footage I see. Oh wait, I live in South Africa, where we have this thing called "human rights", and we look after our people (and half of Zimbabwe who have fled here to escape the slaughter in Zimbabwe). From our perspective, all we saw where lots of really stressed unhappy people in long lines doing their best to get rid of the sickness of Zimbabwe (Robert Mugabe)
In 2003 and 2007, South Africa’s subscription TV channel M-Net sponsored the Big Brother Africa reality television show. In both competitions, Zimbabwe had representatives resident in Harare, Tapuwa Mhere in 2003 and Bertha Zakeyo in 2007. You saw them confident, relaxed girls, not thin beggarly girls who had not had proper meals in years.
Yay, so you have some people who are not starving. Dude, seriously.. this also it not a point. Quoting MultiChoice`s Big Brother as a source for trying to present a picture of a good Zimbabwe is really clutching at straws. You are desperate in your writing.
More importantly, for M-Net to still have an office in Zimbabwe where viewing is by paid-up subscription, presupposes that there are enough Zimbabweans with money to afford the luxury of pay TV, despite the 100 000+ inflation rate.
Yeah, and you can find them all in the local ZANU-PF offices. Must be interesting to be in that political party. You kill and torture innocents and get free DSTV!
With that kind of inflation, you don’t have the extra money for luxuries like DSTV.
Again, not unless you are part of the 1% ruling cast thats oppressing the other 99%. I mean, with South Africa`s inflation I cant afford that 10 million Rand (not zim dollars) yacht... but if you go to our harbours you will be able to see them. Even a four year old child can see you are pulling at straws now.
So how come, for all this obvious evidence, nobody has asked the simple question: is this Zimbabwe story real or an orchestrated series of events by the British and American governments and media to punish Mugabe for humiliating the white settlers in Zimbabwe? It leads us to ask the auxillary question: might all these supposedly impressive economic growth, dropping HIV infection, and inflation rates in Uganda under President Yoweri Museveni have, after all, been falsified, as have all the election results of 1996, 2001 and 2006?
You sir, are a sick and fked up racist. You and your scum will soon be removed, and I really hope, you and everyone involved with what you have done to the people of Zimbabwe are held accountable. Blame the whites... for fks sakes man.. cant you even be original?! Syphilis infected Robert Mugabe has being blaming the whites since he killed 200 000 matabele back in the day.
Im not really the violent kinda chap, but humanities gene pool will be much more cleaner after those in ZANU-PF and untruthful propagandists like you are removed.
Wanna know whats totally destroyed Zimbabwe? PEOPLE LIKE YOU. PEOPLE LIKE MUGABE. Disgusting evil corrupt thieves and country rapists EXACTLY like you. The single biggest problem to Africa is its kleptocrats. Greed mate... greed, greed, greed, and not giving a hoot about the value of a human life. No single raindrop believes it is guilty for the flood.
Why do we consistently read about impressive growth and achievement figures under Museveni’s rule, and yet most of us feel and know that we are well worse off today than 22 years ago?
To be honest, I know nothing about Uganda.. though after reading this I will go read, but by siding in the slightest with the ZANU-PF side and trying to make out the slaughter in Zimbabwe is somehow related to some kind of black vs white thing.. I find your writings sick, ill informed, naive, all round wrong and a mostly lies used to build a strawman argument. You are guilty of evil.

Original Article: http://www.herald.co.zw/inside.aspx?sectid=34128&cat=10
A couple of months ago I decided to start playing the massive multi-player online game, Travian. Travian is a browser based game that lets you choose one of three races (Romans, Teutons or the Gauls), and then you have to create and build up a village (and its resources) while creating alliances with other gamers in your area to try create a competitive team to make it to end game.
The game, while simple when you start, gets extremely more complex and political as the months go on, and by looking at previous game play, games tend to last 12 to 15 months. I have being informed that after 10 months no new entrants are allowed in the game, and the final 6 months is a race to conquer a computer controlled race and build a Lvl 100 World Wonder.
When I first started playing Travian I was skeptical. How could a browser based game be as fun and as entertaining as the current list of games I play (Battlefield 2, COD4, World of Warcraft), but a couple of months into the game and I am completely sold. I really want to see if I can take my village to end game. However, to do that, I am going to need to make sure the alliance I am associated with 'keeps with the program', and that all enemy alliances and villages in my area are cleaned out and conquered.
There are currently over 20 000 players in the game of Travian that I am competing in. When I started writing this post, the point was not to give a review of the game (as I have just done), but rather to give a list of very useful links (as I am about to do) I have found to enable you to be better equipped for your Travian experience.
List of useful Travian links:
- Travian Website - http://www.travian.com - This is where you register and login to play the game.
- Official Travian 'manual' - http://help.travian.com - A mostly useful manual on the game and its units, resources and infrastructure.
- Travian map tool - http://travianmap.nl/index.php?ln=en# - A great tool to work out where you are in the Travian world, and who is around you.
- Travellog - http://travilog.org.ua/en - A tool to let you post battle and scouting reports to your friends and alliances members.
- Travian toolbox - http://www.traviantoolbox.com/index.php?lang=en - This tool does all types of really good calculations for you. Useful for working out battle coordination.
- Travian analyzer - http://www.travian.ws - The Travian world analyzer is a great tool for when you are doing research on a village or an alliance you have to interact with, or if you just want to have a look at whats going on in the world of Travian.
- Farm finder - http://traviantool2.ww7.be/frame_T.php?lang=com&titre=inactive - This tool lets you find inactive players so you can "farm" (thats when you raid their resources) them.
- Cropper finder - http://asite.110mb.com/cropfinder.php - This is a great tool for finding croppers (resources areas that you can take over that are very valuable) close to you.
Playing guides:
Here are a couple of guides to give you the best possible start in your game of Travian.
- Gauls. The Gauls are the best defensive race in the game. http://forum.travian.us/showthread.php?t=6302
- Romans. Romans are the economic powerhouses of the game. http://ionutbatman.trei.ro/
- Teutons. They are the most aggressive race. I could not find a decent enough guide that I would like to show you.. so if anyone is able to find one, please let me know so I can post it here.
That should be enough information to start you on a successful road to conquest. Let me know if you think there should be any other links added here.
I was going to start this post off with a lot of cussing and anger, but after a cup of tea and a moment of reflection I have decided to go with just the anger.
My reasons why China is evil:
- It has amongst the worst cases of human rights abuses in the world
- Its citizens are kept in a state of political fear with political prison camps for anyone who may have an opposing view to the Chinese government
- Its population is HEAVILY censored
- We all know about Tibet
- We all know that the Burma situation is allowed to happen because of its Chinese support.
- We all know that the genocide in Sudan is only able to happen because of all the chinese sponsored weapons (being sold for oil... they make the Americans look like peaceful hippies)
- And now... Southern Africa is going to be experiencing another genocide (the last one took place when Robert Mugabe killed 200 000 matabele... and blamed the Apartheid white government... and the world lapped it up)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/18/wzim218.xml
Yup, another genocide is going to happen, and the thing that makes me so angry.. is the world is going to let is happen. Right now.. weapons are on their way to Robert Mugabe to help him kill more people. Right now the world knows (the people who need to know).. know that this is going to happen.. and once again.. as in Sudan, as in Burma, as in Tibet... the world are going to collectively sit on their fat bums and do nothing about it (except perhaps send a strong worded letter of dissatisfaction to the Chinese government).
Our governments are failing us. It seems all politics is corrupt and all the peoples of the world are suffering from this sickness of apathy. I honestly dont know how people can live with themselves by not acting on these horrors.
Just remember the next time you buy something that says, "Made in China". Know that is was built with blood and that you are guilty of supporting the worlds most evil country and the actions it commits... simply by purchasing a single product made in China. Though.. I doubt most of the people out there even care.
What makes this whole matter worse, is our wonderful ANC led government are supporting the sale of arms to Zimbabwe, and are not doing a single thing to hinder the process.
I am shamed many times over. I am ashamed to be a South African and for allowing so many Zimbabweans to die and I am ashamed to be a member of the human race. Even most of the "good" people in this world.. are evil.. as they allow evil to happen.
"Evil can only happen when good men stand by and do nothing".. and in the case of the rest of the world.. this is exactly what is happening.
I wish there was some army or something I could join to fight China, Zimbabwes ZANUPF and South Africa's corrupt ANC (I swear, you would think Mugabe and Mbeki are having sexual relations when you look at how far Mbeki is up Mugabe's ass).
Am I wrong to be so angry?

Leetest form of linux there is. The primary OS I now use. Kubuntu, Dapper Drake, 6.06 LTS. I really think people should use this as their default OS
For those of you who dont know, I run Kubuntu OS as my desktop OS. With all the queerness of Microsofts Anti Piracy campaign, I have decided to completely leave the MicroSoft world. Sure, I loose windows media player and some gaming choices. However, you do get awsome games like warsow that are completely open source, and LOADS of fun to play. If you are in South Africa, there is a South African warsow server gracefully hosted by Web Africa. When in the game just type "connect warsow.webfafrica.co.za" And you will connect to the server to be able to jam with the rest of us.
I consider this a book that every South African should read to get perspective in their lives. Its honesty is most refreshing and Al Lovejoy`s ability to capture in words the essence of a culture and history of a generation of south Africans is amazing. Al Lovejoy has earned a lot of respect from a generation of youth who appretiate the truth. Thank you Al.
Other reviews:
‘Acid Alex is quite simply one of the most shocking autobiographies I have ever read. It is also well-written, addictive, excellent.’
– Sue Blaine, Business Day
‘Heartbreaking! Entertaining! Intelligent!’
– Erns Grundling, SL magazine
‘Nothing I have read has sketched the scorched social landscape of South Africa’s last half-century with such intensity and honesty. Read it.’
– Charles Thesen, Marie Claire
‘There are elements of Hunter S Thompson, Herman Charles Bosman, William Burroughs and William Wharton. But in the end it is an amazing story told in a unique voice. A voice moulded by pain, a voice honed by a government reformatory..., whetted by the SADF, and sharpened by Pretoria Central.
It is the story of a man who went to hell and came back, a morality tale, a Bildungsroman, the narrative of a f*ckup who found redemption, and the anthem of a lost generation.’– Caspar Greeff, Sunday Times
‘Truly, as Koos Kombuis says, this is “an astonishingly breathless story” … Besides being a great read, Acid Alex is an invaluable record of a type of mania that gripped a certain type of South African in the last quarter of the 20th century. It’s a book that’s going to appeal to many young South Africans who currently have to turn to the United States for their myths of pointless excess, and it’s going to inspire them. Not necessarily in a particularly savoury way.’
– Chris Roper, Mail & Guardian
This book is more than just a suggested read.
In what has to be a remarkable show of insight into the power of social networking, a British Indie band is offering their album free to download off their website. This is one band, that seems to have googled it. It looks like the older corporate models are failing and hopefully the world will not have to tolerate the insanity that is RIAA much longer.
I love artists with scope.
South Africa needs science and South Africa needs prominent scientific voices. Unfortunately, like the media in much of the rest of the world, South Africa's media is not nearly welcoming enough to the skeptical and scientific views of the world. Luckily, we have great examples from the United States and elsewhere of how self-publication through blogs can affect public discourse, promoting science and acting as a counterweight to indifference, ignorance, and gullibility. However, unlike our comrades elsewhere, South African science bloggers are unconnected and not organized. I propose to change that...Read More

In what has to be classed as bizare, a clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps.
I came across this site by Anup Shah that has a detailed look into the causes of poverty. I found some of the statistics he shows to be very embarrassing and a shameful reflection on humanity today.
* Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
* The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.
* Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
* Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
* 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).
Anup Shah shows us the institutions, policies and people behind many of today's causes of poverty.
