If he dies, we'll all know why!!

even if it doesn't I'd bet the post of PM will have hardly any real power.

Exactly - plus, they'll probably arrange it so that, should he make a move with a lot of power, they'll just accidentally kill him.

Exactly - it had to have been the most predictable thing! It's like if the Nazis offered to power share with the SDs. They would have been picked off one by one, until there were none left to share with! XD

My old history teacher compared zimbabwe to the nazi's...it's pathetic really.
I'm not sure why Robert Mugabe can't say

"ah well, i've lost, next time eh;)"...!

...Oh well... he should've stll been courteous about it all.

Starom · Subject: Re: Zimbabwe Wed Sep 17, 2008 7:08 pm

I know what you mean, although comparing them to the Nazis is a little too far - he's not planning world domination Wink

But I know what your teacher means and your point is fair too.

for a start he focussed domestically for a long time, and industial plans aside, he wasn't that good for the state of the country. Hitler worked quickly internationally and made germany strong domestically as the most efficient state of all time. one look at zimbabwe gives you a clue as to which its most like, and stalin and mugabe are also similar in revolutonary background. mind you he didn't have the street thugs so I can see the hitler thing.

deltablue · Subject: Re: Zimbabwe Wed Sep 17, 2008 10:12 pm

probably stop us coming into other countries and 'making shit there' as you so neatly put it as well.

I have my reasons so I so neatly wrote there..and as far as I can tell I can have my own opinion on the matter ...max will prob tell me off but meh...I dont know you or anything about you if u want to take my post to heart go ahead..I feel strongly about africans the thought ov loosing my dad made me agry towards them and after their friends whr killed they knew africa was a shit hole to live in..

Starom · Subject: Re: Zimbabwe Thu Sep 18, 2008 9:56 pm

That's a bit of a racist point... I believe full well that you have avery genuine reason for your anger, but critising a whole nation and "black c**ts" as you put it is incorrect and rather racist. Opinions like that aren't healthy or useful. I'm sorry about what happened to your family, but that's not the way to go about anything...
