- Are mobile phones a health risk ?"Just study the life of Tesla and you know the dangers."Nicola Tesla had a mobile phone??That's amazing, I knew he was ahead of his time, but that's just incredible. I wonder who his service provider was?, 03/07/2008 01:26
- Morgan TsvangiraiWell here's the thing.You can watch what is happening in Zimbabwe and say "These people are black and African and therefore nothing to do with me" (which though historically inaccurate is a standpoint of sorts) or you can say "As a human being this level of suffering of my fellow man offends my sensibilities."It's a call we all have to make., 02/07/2008 08:34
- Morgan Tsvangirai“Why has Morgan Tsvangirai sought solice in the luxury of the Dutch Hote ... sorry ... Embassy in Harare rather than in one of the African Embassies?Countries that apparently are the only countries he vocally alluded to during Wednesday afternoon's speech that can offer resolution to the issues inherrent in a Mugabe-led/corrupt country like Zimbabwe.”Why do you care? What do you think the cost to the Dutch tax payer has been? They’ve put him up for a couple of nights, and may even have given him breakfast. What do you think this has incremental cost for the poor hard-done-by Dutch tax payer has been - €500? Maybe even €1000.Who can say? I mean this is a guy who is trying to end despotism in his country. He is trying to free a nation of people from suffering and slavery. He and his MDC comrades are putting their lives on the line to free their people. He has risked his life and that of his family in the hope of securing a better future for an entire nation. That’s a kind of bravery that should leave the likes of you gasping for oxygen. He alone is worth 10,000 people like you.Your typically mean-spirited response it to winge and whine about why he chose the Dutch embassy. Why is that a point of debate? Shouldn’t you be just proud that he chose the Dutch embassy? Perhaps it was the nearest embassy to his home? Perhaps it was the nearest embassy to his office? Perhaps it was the nearest embassy that was big enough ? – I don’t know, and neither do you. But, typically, you have to put the spin on it that shows black people in the worse light. What a pity that he’s not a Muslim, right? Then you would have a complete set of prejudices to work with.**As to Shap’s point about you being a Troll, he is (as usual) spot on. You are a troll because nobody who is intelligent enough to dress themselves or use a flushing toilet without adult supervision, would be stupid enough to hold the views that you claim to hold., 28/06/2008 11:59
