    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.

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

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

    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.
