"I oppose...

Abortion in any Christian society...." Presumably, then, you're okay with the aborting of non-Christian foetuses? AliceBG 10:49, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Hi, I don't care for what people do in their own countries. Eg in Saudi Arabia, that is their business and they can govern their country in a Muslim way.

So I guess "love your neighbour" doesn't extend to fellow human beings in other countries? Philip J. Rayment 10:57, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Phil, as far as this guy is concerned, "love your neighbour" doesn't even extend to the people in your own country if they don't have the same skin colour as you -- see his user page for his advocacy of a white Boer homeland. AliceBG 11:03, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

What fellowship can light have with darkness, Philip? (I might be paraphrasing a little).GHolland 11:27, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Advocating the rights of a nation of people does not make me a racist.

And I respect the right of non-Christians to do as they please.

Alfred

If you were to start dictating to non-Christian nations what they should do then it would make the threat of Muslim extremist terrorism even greater. It is best to just leave them to deal with things in their own way.

You say "advocating the rights of a nation of people does not make me a racist". True - except it might if you advocate one group's rights entirely at the expense of another group's rights, especially when the group whose rights you dismiss (black South Africans) are in fact the indigenous people of the area in question.PeteSC 11:31, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Wrong. The Voortrekkers arrived in the Transvaal and Orange Free State first, long before the Bantus came down from their kingdoms to the north.

Only the Zulus were there and the trekkers, after being betrayed by Zulu King Dingaan, negotiated land rights with the Zulus in return for returning some cattle to the Zulu King which was stolen from him by a lesser Chief.

I might go along with leaving them to their own ends for reasons of practicality, sovereignty, and diplomacy, but not because "I don't care". Philip J. Rayment 11:33, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

PeterSC if you dispute what I say then I'll suggest some reading material for you to go and read, because it is a common myth that Blacks populated the Boer republics before the Boers.

Alfred123 11:37, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

I'm not interested in reading materials at the moment, but I'd still be very interested to hear what you suggest.

The Bantu were just one tribal group out of a number. The legal documents of the racist SA government during apartheid used the word as a general term to describe all blacks, a bit like describing all British people as "English". You seem to have adopted their technique. So the Zulu were there first? Thanks for the confirmation, I'm glad we agree on that point.

Can I say...

Allow me to say that I am new here, but I have in the 20 hours I've been here offered a lot of work to Conservapedia and have created two long articles, all of which were supported by references from reliable sources.

Yet a lot of people are launching vitriolic attacks against me, calling me racist and a troll. I didn't think this was the correct way of putting your views across.

I have cited sources for the things I have written in articles and you are all more than welcome to check up on those sources, they are all reliable. So why are a lot of you attacking me for simply re-iterating what another person has said?
