People it was a joke, some jokes are more controversial than others, but it's a joke.

Relax.

It's people like you who take things out of context and start arguments FOR NO REASON.

Jokes are fine, but use them in good taste, and be careful of how you spread them. This board is used by people from all around the World.

Have a little respect for your country, and think positive.

No wonder SA has such a negative outlook, and foreigners are wary of it - Look how you all act and think.

Use your heads people.


Jeez - You're downright scary.

Guess I won't be coming to SA anytime soon.

Merlin - I live in the United States. I do have respect for my country, and I try to think positive. That doesn't change my opinion that George Bush is an idiot. I believe he has diminished any good will America once had. George Bush visits a country and he commands protests. Bill Clinton (recently) visited a country and he was treated like a rock star.

Without a prepared script, George Bush sounds like a fool. The other day, speaking off the cuff he described Iraq as a "catastrophic success." Sadly this ‘Bush speak’ is not the exception – I hope this is not perceived as our best and brightest. We do have better.

To minimize the shame and pain cynicism and laughter (for me) is the best medicine. In my wildest dream we could send “W” to South Africa. Perhaps this self professed war president could help. I can only imagine your outrage about that thought!

In the end though, things can turn around – perhaps for both of us.
