He was great in the Shawshank Redemption.
WRONG!
The thing that I believe is amazing is that the man lived longer than the average human being, he went through more distraught than the average human being, he believed more than the average human being and at no point did he push the fact that he was anything but more than the average human being. He is the light that now shines in what was a very dark South Africa and the world as a whole. Thanks mate!
He is in the rare company of people such as Ghandi and Jesus Christ, such is his legacy. RIP
His legacy for humanitarian rights and equality will last forever
RIP
You don't find that many guys with the forbearance that he had. Locked up for 27 years by a cruel regime and do nothing to avenue the wrongs when he has the power to do so.
But still...people in tears...celebrate his life! Don't mourn his death.
...he was a living husk at the end, let him go out with the dignity he deserves.
Freeeeeee, is Nelson Mandela...But still...people in tears...celebrate his life! Don't mourn his death.

Never re-offended.
One of mankind's true greats.
As Noonan said: don't mourn his passing, celebrate his life, celebrate his achievements, and thank whoever you believe in that he existed.
This must be the first time in years that the Hun has actually ran something news worthy on its front pages.
If anyone deserved to bring up the ton, it was Mandela.
Only if he was relatively healthy and in full control of his faculties.

After 27 years in prison on Robben Island l was surprised he lived to anywhere beyond 80. Brutal conditions at best.

Here's a sample, complete with Godwin's Law: When he was arrested he was a terrorist. The ABC are now referring to him as an "activist". Soon they will be calling Hitler a humanitarian.
farkwits.
LOL, I googled it... Sometimes the facade he puts on becomes transparent - Bolt is putting on an act. He has to be...

You have to remember, Bolt has a vested interest in this. He has Dutch heritage.

yeah and Dutch courage.
Is it just me, or are crowd reactions (e.g. jeering and booing) making this funeral slightly farcical? Its spoiling a historical moment, regardless of whether they should be “booed” or not.
They're booing at a funeral?
Really?

Bolt is an illiterate wanker so focussed on his devotion to the right that he will continue to make such ridiculous claims. In other less fortunate countries he would have either been a dictator or taken into the fields and dealt with. I could accept the latter with Bolt.

They're from WA

A crazy religious yank that writes into the Mercury (Hobart paper) outdid Bolt by calling Mandela a sinner and terrorist.
Apparently Mandela has no place in this idiots heaven.
