What opens at 1 and closes at 5?

Nelson Mandelas Advent Calendar.

Ive just seen a bunch of dyslexic africans. They've been putting flowers at the door of nissan maindealers.

..

Martin Luther King is waiting for Nelson Mandela as he gets to heaven.

"Welcome Mister Mandela, you have had a long and eventful life and done so much for our kind of people, I hope I was some kind of inspiration to you in your work."

"You were," replied Nelson, "I made sure I didn't get shot."

..

More tragedy hits South Africa as Nelson's brother Sam Mandela dies of food poisoning.

in his earlier life he pursued his goals with terrorist activities

But he achieved his goals so that makes him a "freedom fighter" rather than a terrorist.

whilst in later life he was a great man and it is indeed a sad day

in his earlier life he pursued his goals with terrorist activities

indeed - i did not judge his actions merely pointed them out

Hmmmm

Like the French Resistance?

With some people you are wasting your time pointing out to them that other organisations used terrorism successfully to sort out a country.

Thousands are said to be gathering outside Nelson Mandela's house. ...... ....... Del Boy and Rodney have told them to F-off

It's a little ironic that he achieved most by being locked away for decades with little contact with the outside world.

Yep, but the big moment came when he was released and SA was literally on the edge of civil war. He could have stoked things up in revenge for his time in prison, but he didn't. He talked peace and forgiveness and saved a lot of lives when he did that.

I always liked Ricky Gervais Mandela joke:

[original PM]

One man´s terrorist and all that...

indeed - and I am not saying his goals were not worth fighting for either

[barrydidit]

And in other news today, the death of Nelson Mandela has led to a global frenzy of saying really stupid things on the internet.

Is that suity's excuse? Overcome with grief?
