Just doing what I want now.

Had some SA people working in town doing summer visa work they did NOT want to go back and that was over 10 years ago.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

A group of missionaries who had been over there and the stories they told of white land owners being butchered were hair raising. Apparently you can do that with impunity over there

Apparently you can do that with impunity over there I looked into that about a month ago and the media source I read said white farmers weren't being killed in disproportionate numbers. That story ran contrary to almost everything else I've heard. The media sucks.

They were limited on gun ownership the guy Peter from SA that hung out with the youngest boy walked in the house one day he looked at the gun cabinet and goes, “how many guns can you have?” That made me laugh.
Gun ownership was utilitarian there every gun has a job or you could not own it, one of this or that but not multiples of the same weapons for collecting.
Military service was mandatory the SA the people I talked to were not in a hurry to get back to that.

Met with a missionary yesterday afternoon. He works with our school and hospital in Burkina Faso and with others in Nigeria. He said South Africa was getting worse by the day. Sad it was a great agricultural provider for all of Africa

There's at least one SA guy living in the states on tman, maybe more. I haven't seen him comment on this thread. I wonder if he went over to help get kin out or to maybe fight. There used to be an old saying about much of Africa, "one vote, one time". Very sad to see how seemingly "settled" things slip into chaos and destruction. Part of the fallen nature of humankind...

Let it return to a jungle, only the strong survive, way they want to run that whole continent.
SA is mostly desert , high dessert , savannah and grass land it looks a lot more like Nevada , Arizona and New Mexico than jungle
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I dont think you will see many Boers flee south Africa.They are fighters and not bothered at all by killing a few Kaffirs. Never been there but had a White South African girlfriend when I was living in England in 76. Also worked with a White South African for a while-great guy he was previously in the merchant navy and had a lot of great storys he would tell in the pub after work.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
