haha ou Pieter....he reminds me of someone....Adriaan maybe?
@Robzombie When you paid in dollaz, it's nice 😃
Ok so I missed a really interesting conversation..great
@Roovdwalt like few other things lol
I will kick off today with same question as day 1.... Anyone have thoughts on which personalities or parties represent the center in SA or global politics?
wow, that is a tough question
it counts 50% of your year mark
Well I am emphatically saying, there is none. The scale is always tilted one way or another. Especially with the introduction, growth and popularity of far right and far left, this my my opinion of course. But I do not think I am qualified to answer this 😂
@Tom_Servo The businessmen with money
Just read the last 2 days comments. RE: Trump; i'm with jerm,a lot of people especially women hate him on a personal level rather than what he is doing as a president. It's all emotions at play. "Oh he said that about women" almost all men talk about women lol women do the same about men. Do the people who wanted to vote hillary even know what her track record is,i'm glad she lost and hopefully never run again for president.
Some of my female friends are worse locker talkers than Trump
@AcidOverride that is true!!!
Re: Land; In 2016 i predicted zuma will be out a year before elections 2019,early 2018 is what i said when zuma will be out and ramaphosa will replace him. I predicted the anc will target farms to seize portions of it and leave the "business side/farming" intact. It seems i need to give more of my predictions😂 The mineral resource connections have been made regarding the land also,i checked out a few of them and found mining of gold/diamonds even fracking in northern cape mentioned. The companies want prospecting rights,much easier when a farmer no longer owns it. As for thinking farmers sitting back like zimbabweans did in 2000 when their farms where seized,the government must be fools.
If a civil war ever breaks out,it will be a full on guerilla warfare,and who is the masters of guerilla warfare who teached the world?...thats right.. us afrikaners. The british couldn't defeat the boers by military means. 600thousand british vs 40thousand boers they only won because they put our women and children in concentration camps. Jan smuts even said the war can still continue,but we had to stop due to concentration camps.All i know is If there is one guy you dont mess with that is a south african boer
@gonzo especially if you've put him with back against wall.
@Roovdwalt There has to be a center... We might just not recognise it if we call anyone to the left of us a communist and anyone to the right of us a nazi.
ME : I disagree with BEE
THE LEFT : You alt-right white supremist
ME : I don't think Trump is good for the US
THE RIGHT : You liberal snowflake
so the question remains, who represents an oke like me... my views are not homogenous with either the right or the left... I agree with each on some issues, and disagree on others.
I can't be the only one - I feel like it is an untapped market politically
I used to think that centrist politics were noble and good, but I've since grown up.
I don't see the appeal in 50/50 in all things. I am in no way centrist about EWC. It is immoral and should be opposed.
any news on zapiro?
@crazyBoer What about Zapiro?
the arm thing
@Tom_Servo I think there are many on the center, but again, "personalities or parties represent the center in SA or global politics" I am not sure, as all I know are still leaning one way or another. How do we define center? Could also be someone that Agrees with BEE but also agrees with Trump? it a weird pendulum and difficult to define
I'm not sure what you're asking, @crazyBoer . He declined my invitation and I said I'd draw a cartoon about it. I've not done it yet, if that's what you're asking. I've been very busy with the farm list stuff.
oh ok.
@Jerm Centarist does not mean 50/50. It's weird that you think that
Would you mind defining centrist?
I'm simply using the idea of centrist of being "in the middle". If I'm wrong, then I'm happy to use a different definition.
Well imm gonna play some old nes games.
I think being in the middle is a fair description... I think another would be compromising
it seems as though the far left and far right seem to agree on everything... regardless of how unrelated those issues might be
That's why I don't worry about left-right labels.
I support rhino horn trade. I support lifting of all prohibitions on drugs. Does that make me left or right? I don't care.
Its not about the label as it is about the representation
maybe I see the center as the grey area
where a lot of issues can often fall
Just ground your worldview on a set of values and principles. Everything falls into place after that. It's far more honest too.
