Hey guys - I had an idea (might not be original). Keen to hear your thoughts?

Not to take away from the seriousness here, can't help though to be reminded of a line in one of Leon Schuster's movies: "Bou die nasie, bou die nasie, hoe de F#@ moet ek bou met JOU"

@spursfan82 Thanks for supporting my small attempt - was starting to wonder....

Out of interest, does anyone know what it might potentially cost if - for arguments sake - a bunch of us teamed up and approached court on our own?

I hear you, just trying to get a feel for these things...

@Jays But. That's a criminal offence, yes? Then again to charge tens of thousands of people is nigh impossible; I get what you're saying.

Just thinking out loud (haven't thought it through): could we continue paying whatever tax we owe, not to SARS, but to - for example - an attorney's trust account?

@Jays Read the article. Somewhere in my brain I kinda knew this sort of thing, but to see the figures! Thank you for rescuing me from under my rock.

Ian Williams Goddard: A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it’s going to get.

@WuldGoGayForLauren Mine?

@WuldGoGayForLauren Oh right... phew... I just joined up here...

@Sheamus I kept wondering how Ernst (aka Ernest) kept it together. As my music teacher once said "Ag man, I sommer give you a clap".

@Crazy Jern I hope so. Give me a few minutes to make a list of people who can go, and stay

Earth is full.

@Sheamus I take your point - obviously, yes. Perhaps I'm not expressing myself clearly enough. Still new at Discord and such - work in progress to find my style. I would add that it's also a mark of intelligence. Contrast with someone like Ben Shapiro, for example.

Although I'm not a Christian, that quote rings true.
It might be true that I react badly to the way that the interviewer pretty much attacked Ernst. Call it being intolerant to intolerance, for want of a better description. Will have to work on it.

@Sheamus Brilliantly put!

@spursfan82 At one point I wondered if I should call my psychiatrist friend.... maybe there's some vaccine against BLF. Probably can't treat stupid, but you can sedate it.

In other news, is Andile what-what back on Twitter? @mnxitama

@Sheamus You might already know about the Dunning-Kruger effect? Reading it on the Rational Wiki isn't scientifically accurate, but hey... https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect

@WuldGoGayForLauren Yes, he was

@WuldGoGayForLauren Correct (but not today's from Lindsay Maasdorp)

Are you serious right now?

@Sheamus Hooray! If you rephrase it slightly: you're too stupid to know you're stupid

Ok no, I'm out. Somebody else try

Guys - sorry to change the subject abruptly, (and I've not been online in a while, food coma etc) - did you see the new Expropriation Bill? Schneeked in just before Christmas

@Klipkop (Clip-Cop) I'm still reading, but I nearly died choking on my Redbull at your "Tietkop" comment

Dankie - will DM you if that's ok
