The worlds first "concentration camps" were set up there by the British during the Boer War to hold the Boer's women and children after they had burned their farms. Thousands of the prisoners died due to disease, lack of medicine, food and unsanitary conditions.
Yeah, I'm sure that's why he posted here: to be blasted and mocked by you. It wasn't like he was just trying to be a nice guy and promote his country to those of us who might not be familiar with it. :roll: While you're at it, why don't you just go ahead and adapt your signature to read "Want to know something about Asstrailia?We treated the aborigines like sh*t!" Because obviously, that's something that you're proud about when talking about your home country. :roll:
Glad you know that , lol , and here the english make out as though the germans invented the concentration camp. And during all of those we also have the formations of what would become early days of the apartheid goverment. Strange how things turn out lol its like history was repeating itself with South Africa. Seems like most goverments get formed in prisons there hahaha. Something to be said about politicions

interesting, they say everything in the world started in Africa.
They who? Everything what?
I think he's talking about the evolution theory that life on earth began in africa. "They" would be the scientists that believe this.
Well then I believe them.
Everyone knows life began in the garden of Eden which was not in Africa, it was somewhere in Europe cos Adam and Eve were white like Jesus and God.Quote:

If Jesus were actually depicted to look like a person from the middle east everybody in America would convert because they'd think he was a terrorist or something.
tdk
I was always amused by how Jesus is always depicted with long hair, but if a man walks into alot of churches with long hair everybody takes offence to it. Personally, I don't think anyone who hasn't seen him should be painting pictures of him anyway.
I believe in Jesus but i dont believe the pictures that they draw of him.
and yeah, Jesus was born in betlehem, thats in the middle east!
i dont want to discuss what was the color of his skin, because we look at his heart.
anyways, South Africa what a cool topic, i realy like the previous president of it, nelson mandella, i love reading his books about human rights.
some of the oldest fossils are found in south africa in the sterkfontein caves also there is evidence of a ancient culture resembling the eygptians. The chinese were the first to bump into south africa they thought they had discoverd eden for there was no need to farm or do anything for everything grew on the trees themselves. The orginal people have long since died out all that remain are fragments of there sociey and just tribes that migrated up and down the coast. And you knows black people could have been white and vice versa it is only at best a theory - an old one at that too. The active chemical in your skin melanin thought to be only a pigment has also been attributed with properties showing that it helps boost your immune system by what you eat. So skin colour is not a defining point as to who you are. In fact how far can anyone take there history , only back to a time of myths and legends :) and yes we call traffic lights robots , you should see how confused all the english were when i first said that. Eden could be anywhere Ill figure that one out when the answer is given to me.
yeah , everyone respects madiba - nelson mandela's nick name. The true art of forgiveness. I respect the african people they have such a harmony about them and a peace , its the land though. It changes you somehow. But then I don't have to tell anyone here that do I , for each of you has there own land and im sure you have seen the differances. Prehaps thats one good thing about South Africa is that I do not feel like it belongs to anyone its just a place some call home.
Dudes, your logic doesn't hold water :roll:
Jesus is born in the middle east, therefore he must have dark skin color. :roll:
I didn't know that it is the location that determines your skin color, not your parents. The jews were never a "dark" people, remember this was centuries before the arab/turkic invasion. In fact it was under Roman occupation. Jesus was born with the ethniticity of a jew, he died a jew too.
We will never know his true skin color or length of hair, but just because he was born in Bethlehem doesn't make him dark! (or a terrorist) :wink:
South Africa is close to the Namibia! :o
Most Jews aren't actually descended from people native of Israel or the surrounded area. Some Jews are though and these have darker skin. My father is one such Jew of true Middle Eastern blood and has olive skin, like a Mexican or something. Jesus, as a Jew at that time would have been the same kind and therefore not be white.Quote:

Anyone familiar with Soiuth Africa knows that, that was not a "Blasting" against South Africans. Quite to the contrary! The Boers (S. Africans) were the good guys in that war. The British (with the help of gullible Australians) were only fighting so Cecil Rhodes (from "Rhodes Scholarship") could get the African gold.Quote:

Well, of course not white as he is depicted in many paintings, but definitely not arab or "middle-eastern looking" in the sense we think today.Quote:

Then, if we belive the Bible, they used to live in Egypt for generation, and Egyptians aren't exactly famous for being white-skinned. After they moved to Palestine, they were mixing with local semitic people. Several centuries later, they were conquered first by Assyrians (who ruined the the Israel Kingdom) and Babylonians (who conquered the Juda Kingdom) which were semitic people as well. So why do you think that a member of a Semitic people—of a people whose ethnogenesis took place among other Semitic peoples at that— could not look like a typical semitic person?Quote:

Do please remember what (according to official version) Jesus was only half semite, and another half -- angelic spirit. Angelic spirits are definitely *white* (also they have feathered wings and halos -- but these can be due to a recessive genes). ;)
There is no scientific proof that Jesus was born in South Africa.
:lol: This is a highly un-official version. According to the official one, he was half-semite and half-God. God is NO angelic spirit, according to most existing Christian denominations! Angels are considerably inferior beings to the Lord. Of course, there are some ivvil people who say that it was Gabriel who conceived Jesus, but for some reason, most believing Christians take a great offence at this theory.Quote:

It's called dassie, or coney (!), or cape hyrax.

In Russian, if we can trust Lingvo, it's даман (or daman in English also :o )
