Almost had me thinking that was the United States for a second. I will now assert my overbearing nationalism by not giving a fuck about politics in South Africa.

That was fast. Time to put my foot in my mouth.

(Maybe GWB was right this whole time and the man installed after his "bad joke" was just a body double of Mandela?)

Damn. I really am just in shock here. Why is the death of a 95 year old with heart problems so shocking?

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

Not particularly shocking, just the death of an important figure in the struggle against Apartheid and for civil rights in general.

Some asswipe already took a picture of Morgan Freeman and said 'RIP Nelson Mandela'. While yes, Morgan Freeman did play Mandela in a biopic that doesn't mean you go ahead and slap RIP Nelson Mandela on a picture you know full well to be Morgan Freeman.

Also, some news outlets are already ignoring the fact that Mandela wasn't always peaceful. Which is even worse than the Morgan Freeman picture.

Him and Tutu manifested the middle ground between MLK passive and Malcolm X aggressive
They didn't go after humans mostly property but

A life well lived fulfilling every potential possible given the time, the place, the circumstances and the man. Only people the likes of Mandella, Ghandi, MLK, Bhudda, Lao Tsu, Confucius, Da Vinci, Einstein, Tesla live these kinds of extraordinary lives, overcoming adversity with clear vision, calm demeanor and an unwavering sense of purpose. People like Mandella make all of us better because they leave the world much better off for having lived in it.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Well, he was 95 years old. So many people don't even make it to that age, much less still have their wits about them. He lived a good long life. Rest in peace.

Can't say I'm really surprised, considering his age; but figures in history like that you kinda half-assume in the back of your mind that they'll be around forever. 

RIP, and my condolences to his family and friends.
