@18.58. They think so Douglas.

Not too much evidence of horny-handed sons of the soil skipping of the good ship Freebie that I've seen, Togo.

Mostly engineers and the like.

And doctors and lawyers......

Lucky old us!

White farmers being gobbled up by other countries for their expertise, and the primitive savages left behind can try and sort it themselves out.
HUGE GUFFAW!
Those savages are a joke!

[fender62]

fine... let all the rich farmers go west with there know how and capitol
let the indigenous turn it into scrubland, but hey they have land now...let the shacks rise and feel proud, hungry but proud...

[Theland]

Many sacks of United Nations gruel will be needed soon, while the ultra friendly chanters and dancers try to figure out how to turn soil and seeds into dollars.
Another HUGE GUFFAW!

id imagine a public service message going something like..

Is that more of your Christianity showing through again?

Your stalker has shown up Theland. :))

It's not a government's job to decide that it's unfair that there are rich and poor folk, so it's ok to steal from the rich to give to the poor. If everyone pays fairly applied taxes then that is the limit of government grabbing. I doubt anyone really believes that, had all the land owners been darker skinned, the same threat would have been made. It is racially motivated.

So, AH thinks these farms are distributed amongst needy black people?

Do you love me Andy?
My shadow, my follower, my appraiser, my critic.
Oh! Forgot!
You are an amazing Christian Moralist, and therefore eminently qualified to pronounce judgement on me!
That's OK then, coz you are clever and I am nowhere near as clever as you.
Happy?

I think it is racist. One has to draw a line on history somewhere. Rhodesia used to be the 'bread-basket of Africa' if I remember properly, and this benefited the whole population. Now it is just a starving 'basket-case' so far as I can see.


Farmers were killed for being white - and many of their loyal employees with them. Not nice. Heaven help South Africa, please.

andy-hughes, you’re very wrong to drag Theland’s religion from thread to thread regardless of the subject. That is tantamount to harassment and it's designed to silence. As a moderator you shouldn’t need to be told that.

The 'So' Rule strikes again!

Since I did not say that, the answer would be - No.

If Theland has an issue with me, he can address it to me.

We have Moderators and an Editing Team - if they think there is an issue, I will be happy to discuss it with them.

Back to the thread ...

Always.

Shame you are unable to join me.

But you responded to me and therefore, although I sought no discussion with you, at least I know you’ve read it. Thank you for that.
