Havn't said much on the Forum lately I know, have had a few issues but more about that on a topic yet to come. Yeah Yeah I know. Will try to behave myself, but it is so difficult with my warped sense of humour.
Right then. Let us be serious. I was going to keep out of this topic for a reason that most of you are aware of. I let my emotions get the better of me and end up saying what I think rather to bluntly for some. This usually results in loads of funny pictures with hackles rising. Well ek is jammer. But when I get passionate about a subject, I will say what I think and what I feel. It is just the way I am and I am passionate about South Africa.
First saw South Africa in 2004 and wanted to stay. Now it is 2008 and after eleven months we are nearly there. Many items that softness and I made part of our home have now gone. Passed onto others in car boot sales. When asked "Where are you going"? we say "South Africa" and they say "You are so lucky". Nobody and I mean nobody has said "What about the crime, the murders, the muggings, the car jacking etc etc"? and do you know why? Because it is no frigging different here. that's why. Discipline and law is collapsing in my country your country and other counties and the only way you will be free of the lawless is to find somewhere to live where there are no people. There is another option however. Accept society, any society wherever you are, as lawless and then do everything you can to make it unsavory for the lawbreakers. If that means a .38 through the body, then so be it. They wont be back will they????
South Africa has the same problems that the whole frigging world has. The decent folks just have to stand their ground, fight back and do whatever it takes to live a decent life. Good whites bad whites. Good blacks bad blacks. Colour has nothing to do with crime or criminals. Show a white mans heart and a black mans heart together on a table and I defy you to tell the difference. Finally.
I have seen 61 summers. I am financially safe in my country. After 65 summers I will have two pensions. No mortgage and a fairly easy life. Why would I give that up to live in South Africa? First reason is Family. Second reason is for softness and I to LIVE the years we have left together and SA is the country to do it in. Whatever the problems you face South Africa has a great future, all you need to do is make it so.
Alles van die beste
