@Francois, that's really food for thought. What disturbs me the most is this:-
"It has become politically correct to
attack Islam, and this is making it hard for moderates on both sides to remain reasonable."
"...did not sense
hostility in Belgium. But he said, "We are now thinking of going
back to our country, before that time comes.""
"Many experts note that there is a deep and troubled history
between Islam and Europe, with the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire jostling each other for centuries and bloodily defining
the boundaries of Christianity
and Islam."

It's a beautiful day out in Cape Town...sun is out and the wind is down. Haven't been able to post much today...been out running errands.
Last night I met this really ignorant, racist Englishman at one of my favourite spots. He was asking me all sorts of stupid things about this country..."Do you vote? Do you support Zuma? What will happen when Zuma comes to power?"
I told him as a matter of principle I didn't vote (only voted in1999), I couldn't care for Zuma, even if he became president I didn't think he would do a Mugabe. He already had an answer for his last question when he saw that I was not interested in starting a debate...
"This country will end up like Zimbabwe...you can kiss the World Cup goodbye...huh? At this point I knew I had a nutter on my hands.
But then he became racist complaining about how, as an Englishman, he could no longer use "nick names" for certain groups because of political correctness- that one did it for me.
I took one last swig on my Amstel and got out of there before I lost my composure bringing out my Cape Flats persona that I've been trying to suppress for all these years.

Sounds like that Englishman has often been in the company of certain groups of SA ex-pats in his own country...all these doom n' gloom prophets scattered around here, eeking out any mileage to justify their reasons for 'escaping' SA.
Yet many of these still proudly sport SA flag stickers on the back of their cars here... |

What I found quite ironic was that he owns a house in Cape Town...if this place was falling apart the last thing anyone should do is buy a house.

@da wanqsta: You know she's no longer the Minister of Health- she hasn't been since 1999.

And thus Friday the 13th was passing rather uneventfully, or so i thought... This evening my buddy Mark and i visited my favourite coffee shop. Quite some time ago i took my cuz there for some of the best coffee i've ever had. The next evening i asked her to accompany us to supper, quite forgetting that i'd asked Mark along too. After supper we all moseyed on down to Friends, where it seems they clicked, one proverbial thing led to another because tomorrow is their wedding 
Well, it seemed appropriate to take him back to where it all began... we eventually headed home, with a quick stop at a garage close to home. So far so good, nothing untoward or unlucky had happened to us... unlike the 4 silly buggers travelling in a smart black Golf, zipping in and out of traffic. As it happens, they stopped for fuel... and directly behind them stopped a carload of detectives from the local SAPS, returning from a crime scene.
Of course, they'd witnessed the antics of these youngsters, so a female detective stepped over to give them a cautionary word. So far so good, until the driver decided to give her lip. Lots of it too, the dumkopf. For all his trouble, yet another detective stepped up, and in short order he had all the boys lined up outside the vehicle. Mense, this dude was BIG, like in HUGE. He looked like a 7foot Santa Claus sans the red outfit. A quick check of the vehicle revealed not one, not two, but 8, yes EIGHT bottles of hard liquor, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. And being the concerned upholder of the peace, and champion for justice, he did something that had me crying with laughter... He emptied them nasty borreltjies one by one down a drain, much to the horror of their erstwhile owners  To their belated credit they finally zipped lip, but the looks on their faces, folks, utterly priceless!!!
Ja nee, and thus passed Friday 13th...

@ da brixsta,
LOL, c'mon mfowethu, I ain't THAT out of touch... ..I realise that, we even discussed 'Dr. Beetroot ' etc. right here on this forum just over a month ago...:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=74383&start=7125
I could've edited the heading to Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, but why bother, it's still a laugh, even if it's the health minister specifics are way outdated.

We(me and my buddy, paul) spent the evening with two friends, who cooked a lovely meal for us, after which we indulged in an old favourite, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice:) Man, it always has me in stitches, all 5 hours of it! Probably the first time i have watched the whole thing in one go...Was a good evening.
@ Kryptic, that was funny! I can imagine how funny that was! Enjoy the wedding today! Be the best best man:) Which brings me to this, if you are the best man, why are you not the one getting married?(despite obvious reasons:) Should not the one getting married be called the best man? The best man should be referred to as something else, like the Second Best Man:)
@ Brix, Pride and Prejudice always makes me think how lucky we have it these days. Class was a fussy thing, not that its gone, but it was so intensely bad, it controlled every aspect of society, with almost no escape. Things are certainly much better with regard to that.

@francois: Right now in SA it's mostly not about race but how much cash you've got to spend...How do you think Brett Kebble almost got away with stealing from investors?

Very true. Always been so, always will be, but these days you can change your stars, you can make it happen. Dont think it was nearly so easy back then.
Which brings me to this, i might soon be in a better position concerning work. Our company consists of a holding company, with a few companies. Me along with another chap have been pulled to start yet another one. The next few months i will have extensive training in the security systems, and this is open from security systems to a security service, but with my added twist of security development. I have had thoughts in this direction before, and with the holding company having a few strategic companies, things are going to happen. So yeah, God is good, now i just have to get my butt in gear...
