John McCain has died, aged 81.

You know he was rarely on the side of an issue as me, and would’ve never agreed on policy. But I get the feel the he was an honorable, true American, that I could’ve been buddies with (If I was older and my political aspirations worked out). I am extremely saddened by his passing.

South African farmers (the white ones, more specifically) can now be thrown off their farms without compensation, much to the joy of the....let's say, 'interestingly' ruling ANC.

In the name of 'increasing agricultural production and protecting food security'. Because the exact same thing worked so well in Zimbabwe.

Compensating for apartheid by erasing any farms is just furthering the culture of apartheid

It's sad for the 'normal' people mostly, since I'm guessing the government leaders won't have any trouble when the food crisis everyone can expect because of this hits in a few years time.

The sad thing is that it shouldn’t be a black versus white issue. I share the Africans anger for how whites and European colonists have treated them, but you can’t fight hate with hate, and expect good, peaceful results.
