Apologising for the past..................

[IceAge]

Did anyone read the paper last week (Mercury) where the main headline
stated the following? It's not too late for whites to say sorry for
apartheid...

Check the email that went around responding to the headline. It's a
kick-ass response.

Subject: We Apologise

To the Previously Disadvantaged

We are sorry that our ancestors were intelligent, advanced and daring
enough to explore the wild oceans to discover new countries and develop
them.

We are sorry that those who came before us took you out of the bush and
taught you that there was more to life than beating drums, killing each
other and chasing animals with sticks and stones.

We are sorry that they planned, funded and developed roads, towns, mines,
factories, airports and harbours, all of which you now claim to be your
long deprived inheritance giving you every right to change and rename these
at your discretion.

We are sorry that our parents taught us the value of small but strong
families, to not breed like rabbits and end up as underfed, diseased,
illiterate shack dwellers living in poverty.

We are sorry that when the evil apartheid government provided you with
schools, you decided they'd look better without windows or in piles of
ashes.

We happily gave up those bad days of getting spanked in our all white
schools for doing something wrong and much prefer these days of freedom
where problems can be resolved with knives and guns.

We are sorry that it is hard to shake off the bitterness of the past when
you keep on raping, torturing and killing our friends and family members,
and then hide behind the fence of "human rights" with smiles on your faces.

We are sorry that we do not trust the government. We have no reason to be
so suspicious because none of these poor hard working intellectuals have
ever been involved in any form of corruption or "irregularities".

We are sorry that we do not trust the police force and, even though they
have openly admitted that they have lost the war against crime and
criminals, we should not be negative and just ignore their corruption and
carry on hoping for the best.

We are sorry that it is more important to you to have players of colour in
our national teams than winning games and promoting patriotism. We know
that sponsorship doesn't depend on a team's success.

We are sorry that our border posts have been flung open and now left you
competing for jobs against illegal immigrants from our beautiful
neighbouring countries. All of them countries that have grown into economic
powerhouses after kicking out the "settlers".

We are sorry that we don't believe in witchcraft, beetroot and garlic
cures, urinating on street corners, virginity testing, slaughtering of
bulls in our back yards, trading women for cattle and other barbaric
practices. Maybe we just grew up differently.

We are sorry that your medical care, water supplies, roads, railways and
electricity supplies are going down the toilet because skilled people who
could have planned for and resolved these issues had to be shown away,
because they were of the wrong ethnic background and now have to work in
foreign countries where their skills are more needed.

We are so sorry that we'd like this country to fulfil its potential so we
can once again be proud South Africans.

Regards,
The Previously Advantaged

Ja boet the truth hurts.

Yip, I was in Australia in February when the Ausi goverment apologized to the Aboriginal people for stolen generation.

Local sentiment in the pubs was #%$^&*

[3wheels]

So true

Pity these clowns don't see it, or should I say refuse to see it

[John Boucher]

I will not apologise for nutting....

Take a look at Zim today and have a peek in da future for whats in store for SA....

[nicow]

So true.
Sorry se g@t!

[Wart]

Well said!!!

[John Young]

And ….

We are sorry that you choose to walk the suburban streets at night looking for soft targets forcing us to keep large dogs, armed guards on standby and have lights burning all night.

We are sorry that you can’t drive properly and have no consideration for other road users when you speed through red robots, block intersections or stop anywhere in vehicles that are not roadworthy.

We are sorry that the government sees fit to improve your life style in prison by giving you hot meals, hot and cold water, TV, warm dry bedding plus a salary sufficient for cigarettes and chocolates making you want to return.

We are sorry that when you come across an accident that your first thoughts are not about what assistance you can render – but rather what can be pilfered, plundered, looted or taken away irrespective of the condition of the rightful owner.

We are sorry that you can maim a tiny puppy or kitten and place it in the road to “force” a caring and unsuspecting person to stop thereby creating another opportunity for hi-jack or robbery.

We are sorry that you cannot progress a normal career on your own and have forced the government to introduce a whole pile laws regarding racial quotas and the measurement thereof.

We are sorry that the government has forced large business to “sell” equity ownership. We are sorry that this system has failed miserably.

We are sorry that you have been given billions of Rands worth of assets which you know nothing about and are therefore not able to manage or strategise these assets properly.

We are sorry that crime is out of control, the police force is ineffective and that the Scorpions are being crushed.

We are sorry that you are too stupid to know that you are stupid.

The link to the original article is at the bottom

[John Boucher]

13 different standards exist in SA today.... It seems 1 for each and every language group! David Bullard got fired because of an article when read by an intelligent person would see the satire in it.... It gets placed.... the editor is supposed to have read the paper before printing.... all of a sudden it is racist.... Bullard gets fired.... and the editor welcomes the Chinks with open arms? Zuma has a lot to say about rapist getting bail and now we have to shoot to kill first (tongue in cheek and try and sort out the murder rap thereafter because the criminal was a previously disadvantaged dude and your actions as white was racist!)

This all sounds like a Savanna advert - It's dry but you can drink it and don't forget the peanuts are complimentary.......

[Dre'man]

You right Demon the goverrment could'nt fly a kite even if it was buit for them. Better

[Wargames]

This topic is really flying fast. Cant be a trike!!

[John Boucher]

Eish....

Help me out here.... on AVCOM there's a bunch of guys shooting off theories of Trevor's crash and how irresponsible he might have been - damn man, the effing Legacy's engine threw a conrod in shit weather... and he had to do a forced landing with a cabin filled with smoke. Now some of the geniuses are doing the hindsight thing - you know, it's a perfect science! Oh, I have added my stirring emotions...

Microlighters is where I find solace! I can share ideas, share & shed light on my views and just shoot my mouth off within reason - yes, I am a Stirrer even though I have not done that of late I can relate to all here - even though it might not be AVIATION related.

Please accept my humble apologies... for what... I dunno!

[John Young]

Please accept my humble apologies...

Sure – we accept your apology ……. besides –

We are sorry that you failed the ICAO Audit so badly that our national airline could be banned from entering the states.

We are sorry that you inherited the white bastion excellence known as the SACAA where telephones are no longer answered and correspondence gets lost forcing us to use outside services.

We are sorry that you completely lost the plot with build numbers forcing owners to build illegal wings for self-destruction in order to obtain a legal build number.

We are sorry that you insisted on sending promoted tea girls to inspect factories overseas at our expense for 2 weeks at a time – yet on their return, they were not able to identify the plane they went to inspect in a hanger.

We are sorry that you are the only authority in the world to ask senior captains of the national airline “Why do you need more than one of you in front when we can drive to work by ourselves?”

We are sorry that you are the only authority in the world to ask senior captains of the national airline “Why do your conversions take so long – when we buy a new car it takes us 20 minutes to work out the gauges and lights?”

We are sorry that you are the only authority in the world to threaten senior captains of the national airline with “If you make trouble, we will get rid of you and activate the admin staff?”

We are sorry that you are the only authority in the world to promulgate and make the Rotax 300 hour crank issue law.

We are sorry that you have chosen to ground pilots whilst you try to unbundled your new set of laws regarding weight classification without the intermediate sports license being nearly finalised.

We are sorry that you have banned owner maintenance of which you know nothing about with such a clumsy document that lawyers are now engaged to try and rewrite it in a way that we may all understand what you meant in the first place.

We are sorry that you are the only authority outside Europe to enforce language proficiency for all PPL and higher licences even though English is the official business language and that you might enforce language proficiency for MPL from 1 June.

We are sorry that you have engaged the police force to check amateur pilot’s documentation whilst serious crime remains completely out of control.

Sure BAD NAV – we accept your apology ….
