| The whities where offered money?? Wow! That is a hell of a lot better than what natives are offered when whitey takes over native land! You have no idea of the history of SA do you? A very ignorant and misguided post. Majority of the land they want was never occupied by their ancestors. Would be th... |

| One point in fact that seems to be over looked is that the ruling ANC has no historical right to the land they are after. When the Dutch first arrived in the Cape during the 1600's the only indigenous group in the area of any number was the Koi San. The ANC and EFF are primarily made up of Zulu and ... |

| As for the farmers issue, currently the majority of farms are still owned by white Afrikaners. Farms are easy targets for roving bands of thugs due to the lack of police coverage and response. So farms are easy targets, owned primarily by whites, does not take much to do the math. It isn't 'just' t... |

| Well do not comment much but this is an entertaining argument. Hate to say it but both of you are in fact correct and incorrect at the same time. Now do not take my word for it but I did live in Eastern Pretoria (Tshwane) for 4 years from 2012 until 16. Have found that people that are not familiar w... |

| In a sane country you lose your rights and freedoms when you become an enemy of the state. No actually in a SANE country everyone has the same rights. Picking who is and who is not entitle to rights opens a door no one wants to be part of. Just ask any Holocaust Survivor. As system is only equatabl... |

| Take away the actual incident and all you have is the legal findings. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed in a unanimous vote that his Charter Rights had been violated. Let me reiterate the Supreme Court not the liberals, not the conservatives but those who rule on Canadian Charter Law. The Charter w... |

| Oh, and for the record as a Muslim male poor little Omar at age 15 was Baligh which means he was considered an adult who was responsible for his own actions by everyone who's Muslim but, for some odd reason not the people who want to see him rewarded for his illegal actions. So because he is Muslim... |

All level 3's and above are tax exempt on allowances (Foreign Service, Hazard, Hardship) that is allowances only, regular income is always taxed as per CRA guidelines. It was dee... |
