Wait a second. We're talking about compensating the blacks who lost their land in the 1930s right? |

No, but I knew that's where you were going with this. (Could you be more transparent?) Why? Because that was SEVENTY FOUR YEARS AGO. These farmers being evicted by Mugabe are current. P.S. Before you have the chance to morph yet another argument, I don't support slave reparations in the US either. |

Insultor, I was talking about the people removed from their lands from the 1930's the whole time. I don't think the 1930's were that long ago. People are still alive who lived then. |

I don't agree that there need be a time limit on compensation. Jews are still being compensated for what happened in Germany. HOWEVER - if people on both sides have been shafted then maybe compenstation should be forgone altogether. I'm not sure what the solution to this particular case is - people are regaining what was thiers in the first place - but others who have worked hard on the land in recent years are being shafted.

Admiral - could you at least try to use the same tone with Gvok that you use with me. Call it a chicken/egg thing. I don't know who started it - but I want it to stop. I just asked you on another thread to be more polite and 2 minutes later you post this crap. (I refer to your style, not your content) |

Min, I don't see where anything I said was insulting, even though "transparent" might have been close? |

So now you are telling me what I am talking about? Did you forget your bran flakes this morning? |

I've been following this one Admiral and you are wrong. He has been talking about the 1930's all along and it's pretty clear if you reread his posts. |

Gvok - don't take the bait and your comment on bran flakes is pretty insulting too. Drop it. |
