RIP Nelson Mandela

I think this is a bit disrespectful. If you want to argue about it go to PMs.

Anyway, rest in peace. He'll forever be remembered for the work he did for his people. Thoughts and feelings are with his family.

I certainly wasn't trying to be disrespectful. I was pointing out the fact that I felt Woeler was being disrespectful. I think the work that he did for his people was great.

I don't care what anyone says, I think he was a hero to his people and he should be respected for the great things he did and not the few extreme things he did in order to take down the Tyranny.

May he rest in peace.

Woeler. no human can ever be perfect. I know that it' much more politically correct to believe Hollywood and say that Mandela came up with nonviolence all on his own with inspiration from a poem. I also think that he later moved to a peaceful protest when he saw how useless a violent uprising was, as it gave the South African government legitimacy in calling him evil when he was a leader of that group.

But just as he was responsible for some evil actions, he is also much more responsible for human greatness. No human is perfect, so we can ignore people's misdeeds, or shun them for it. Or, as I think we should, is to look at what they did as a whole and decide: were they more good, or bad? I think we can all agree that even with his hostile actions, in the end, Mandela is a role model human.

Rest in peace Nelson Mandela! You deserve a nice long rest for all you've done for the citizens of South Africa.
