Zimbabwe

Us blacks are just hopeless at looking after ourselves as groups, and deserve to be wiped out. Take Zimbabwe. Everyone is now either starving or leaving the country to go where? TO SOUTH AFRICA!! Surely the least "African" of the African countries. What is wrong? The Zimbabwean people chose their leader, repeatedly. They have selected their destiny. Now they must grin and bear it, whatever the result is, even if they die in the process. If we don't want to be wiped out by our leaders and their actions, here's a novel idea, choose leaders that won't do that to us. Effectively, Mbeki is right to support Mugabe - he is the chosen leader of the Zimbabwean people. If they want a nutcase running the country, who are we to argue? Now how about Zuma for our president!

4x4 Idiots

I read a interesting rant on facebook about the SUV scourge in America (there's an anti SUV group there). Having recently acquired a 4x4 myself, I have to agree on all accounts; SUVs are dangerous, impractical killing machines, and are driven by idiots who should rather be removed from society. I find that I regularly block the view of other road users, can't maneouver or see easily, don't worry about damaging more delicate vehicles, and generally feel and accoringly act like an idiot in my SUV. However, us SUV drivers are not alone in being idiots. We have a lot in common with BMW drivers, who are similarly idiots. The sooner these vehicles are banned from the roads the better for all.
