    Crime in South Africa...

    A friend who moved from Australia to South Africa sent me this link about how bad crime is in South Africa. I'm trying to talk her into moving back to Australia. And I thought Mexico was bad!!

    It's really bad there. I have an anecdote to share.

    Whilst in Prague, my cousin had a friend from South Africa over. As you may know, the Czech Republic is well-known for owning a lot of old bangers and shit heaps, i.e. the Skoda Estelle and the Trabant. The wonders of Eastern Bloc technology...

    One day, whilst walking down the street about 300m away from my cousin's house, one of the aforementioned shitheaps backfired. The SA friend dropped to his knees and elbows and put his hands behind his head. He was convinced that a firefight had started, and therefore had acted as he would have done back home.

    It seems funny on face value, but if you think about it, you realise that there must be some serious issues for people to be that conditioned to violence...

    My God, I have heard stuff like that before (like if you read the book There Are No Children Here) it's scary to think about growing up somewhere like that. Its scary to even to know that exisits.

    It seems even worse like the worst parts of Rotterdam.... I heard things that if you just walk through a street you'd get robbed twice

    Getting robbed is not as bad as getting killed...

    I see what you mean now, were all animals its just that peticular mix of very poor and very rich that brings it out. I think some people thought you were being a little racist.

    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.
