31 May 2012, 13:42 pm
Aaaw no…I can only wear my Argentinian supporters jersey when I’m at the game. Dammir I knew I was doing it all wrong for years.
31 May 2012, 13:46 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-102:
oh i see.
on the day the all blacks play them you’ll wear it to rile up the all black supporters.
ok.

Good sidestep. Keep it up

Good rodgering by Lekota. Wonder what Zuma’s come back will be.

All white people only have one kid?.

Parlementary privilege won’t allow for that.

@nama1(nama1)-104:
Have 1 kid if you poor (I believe everyone has a right to 1 child, after that it’s a bonus). Have tons of kids if you rich (not that I would). White or black.
The government should bend over backwards to help a couple’s first child (i.e. school, varsity etc, after that it’s on the couple to provide such things.
I only have one kid, because that’s all I can afford. The problem is that this message isn’t getting out there.

@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-109:
That must sound very clever when one is a bit drunk and discussing “solutions” for SA’s problems with your friends.
31 May 2012, 14:28 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-106:
ok
so i ws confused.
@nama1(nama1)-110:
i think its a very reasonable and sensible sounding idea.
your response however, i do not think clever at all.

China did it. Kinda worked for them sunshine.
31 May 2012, 14:41 pm
@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-112:
Really???
I guess we’re not going to talk about all the baby girls being aborted, dumped at orphanages or even killed in China.
Yeah, it worked well for China.
31 May 2012, 14:45 pm
@nama1(nama1)-110:
that’s rich from somebody who pours his heart out here at 4am after the best part of a klippies bottle.
31 May 2012, 14:52 pm
@nama1(nama1)-113:
It has worked in China. I have no doubt that many babies were aborted, dumped or even killed.
But this happens in SA every day already, and is unlikely to change no matter what laws are introduced, so it’s a null point.
The bottom line is this. China has the 2nd biggest economy in the world (only behind the USA). They’ve done this by ensuring that every child born has access to decent education. This can’t be done if everyone has 5 kids.
But back to my ‘idea’. Why are you against everyone having 1kid (or as many as you can AFFORD)? Do you bleieve it is your right to have more? And that the goverment must help you if you do?
Serious question, try give a serious response.

@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-115: is every forst child in china educated? are these the policies of the Chinese Communist Party?
31 May 2012, 15:14 pm
@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-115:
“Do you bleieve it is your right to have more? And that the goverment must help you if you do?”
Yes, I believe it is my right to have more if I want to. I also believe that it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to take care for all of them.
Personally I have TWO children. Do you have a problem with that?
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-117:
Those fcukers have their tentacles everywhere. Would be a hell of a lot of boycotting to be done if you want to boycot everything in which they have a share.
31 May 2012, 15:20 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-118:
look I don’t think we should be comparing our education policies with those in china.
we spend more rands per child than any other country in africa and yet we plumb the depths.
quite frankly its embraboer.

@nama1(nama1)-119:
just saying.
you are paying for the double ply toilet paper they secretly slip into the Voortekker Monument when igoverment isn’t looking.

@nama1(nama1)-119:
“Yes, I believe it is my right to have more if I want to. I also believe that it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to take care for all of them.”
Okay hang on, why are we arguing? You seem to agree with me? The only difference is I think the gov should help more with the first one.
31 May 2012, 15:25 pm
I truely hope that when the ABs run on to the field in SA for the first time this year they will received a huge applause as they deserve it as world champions. The booing of foreign teams is totally disrespectful to the entertainment that they provide for the beautiful game.

@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-121:
@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-122:
Maybe because you try and give a simplistic solution to a very complex problem.
I’d wager that with the bigger black middleclass growing even further, as it currently is doing, you’ll find that black households will have less children…by choice.
No need for laws to enforce that.
It will only lead to other (unforeseen) societal problems and we have enough of them as it is.
31 May 2012, 15:38 pm
Not called Soccer city anymore,
@Amerifikaner(Amerifikaner)-123:
The allblacks do not deserve to be called world champions. I will be at the game and I am going to boo my heart, want to know why? because I can. I will show no respect for a cheating country.
31 May 2012, 15:40 pm
@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-122:
Listen to what you are saying…so you agree with social engineering…ala communist China…its OK to KILL people (through abortions) as long as you can give your one child a decent education…ARE YOU REALLY SAYING THAT?????
31 May 2012, 15:52 pm
@nama1(nama1)-124:
Hang on mate, I never said it should be LAW. I said I believe that the gov should help more with the first child to encourge people not to have more kids than they can afford too.
31 May 2012, 15:56 pm
@Golden Boy(Golden Boy)-126:
Nope, that’s not what I’m saying.
Don’t get pregrent if you can’t afford kids; then you won’t need an abortion. It’s not rocket science to keep your **** in your pants.
31 May 2012, 15:58 pm
@nama1(nama1)-124:
I know in China it was law, and I don’t agree with that. Sorry, I see where the confusion came from.
31 May 2012, 16:02 pm

Really, whats you definition of decent education?

@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-127:
You did bring in China…where it is law.
Can’t blame me for thinking you also want the one-child-per-household idea, legislated.
31 May 2012, 16:10 pm
@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-129:
OK, I see you realised why I may have come to that conclusion.
All’s fine then.

@greentea(greentea)-130:
Anything but OBE
I’m in education, and I can safely say that OBE was ruined the minds of millions of students. It’s scary when a 18 year can’t work with fractions.
But seriously, the answer to your question is pretty objective.
31 May 2012, 16:12 pm
@nama1(nama1)-132:
Not for the vast majority, farmers are allowed two, if both parents are from single families you can have two, ethnic minorities are allowed two, you can pay the tax and have 20 if you want , if you have guan xi you can have two, many many loop holes to get around this law

Ironically, I made a ton of spelling and grammatical errors in that post. But I am working and blogging at the same time
31 May 2012, 16:20 pm
@greentea(greentea)-135:
Thanks for some clarity.
There we go, Centurion Shark. Did you read.
So it was not the one-child-per-household policy that helped China to become the leading economy (passed USA some time ago) in the world.
31 May 2012, 16:20 pm
@nama1(nama1)-124: you probably also think you sound cleva when you are sitting dronk with your friends nama.
because you understand the dynamic lmao!
31 May 2012, 16:46 pm
@nama1(nama1)-139:
Lol, fair enough. I still like the idea of the gov helping out more with your first kid though
But obviously not taxing your balls off if you have more (like China). That seems kinda counter productive.
PS I think the yanks are still top though.

@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-141:
Well, I remember watching the news earlier this year or late last year in which the World Bank announced that China had officially surpassed the USA as the biggest economy in the world. India on her way to pass the USA in the near future.

@sparticus(sparticus)-62:
Sounds awesome… pity it’s only one guy though… far more nerving like they were the last time (if more organised)…
31 May 2012, 17:09 pm
@nama1(nama1)-143:
India to surpass the USA by 2025…China and the USA are currently level-pegging…but yeah..the USA are grinding to a halt, Europe has slowed down to on average 2.5 percent growth and if you remove the Germans, French and the UK its actually >1%.
@CenturionShark (aka LondonShark)(londonshark)-129: Thanks for some clarity..although it is rather simplistic and considering that certain African cultures equate having large families with wealth, I doubt it will ever be successful there. Personally I think all children should be subsidized but that smaller families should have more tax breaks. Rather reward smaller family units instead of punishing larger ones.

Perhaps we can send out a member of the Household Cavalry complete with horse!!

@Golden Boy(Golden Boy)-145:
All valid points.
31 May 2012, 21:30 pm
Actually in China The minority people of which there are over 50 cultures are allowed more (2) where the main “han” chinese people were “only ” allowed one. What really happened was if they had more they simply paid a fine. The poorer who needed hard working men for their farms one way they got rid of new born girls was drowning them in a bucket. Also what most of the world dont get whats going on right now is there are infesting every country on the planet(now africa) and breeding like flies. So although the population in China is “increasing” slower than India, count in all their emigrants and their kids and it is scary. Africa must look at this as a concern(chinese are flooding in) because neither do they respect wild-life hence the latest depleations( and poaching increases) throughout africa in the last few years.
A sick race if you ask me..

@Oranjebliksemblou(Oranjebliksemblou)-125:
lol, as if the Boks are saints and dont cheat
All Blacks are called the world champs.
As people on here told us in 2007, we beat whoever was put in front of us….others did not. You can cry all you want about refs but 2007 RWC win was due to a ref failing to ref a game correctly in the quarters.
NZ would have taken 2007 as well, we all know this.
But unlike your sad and negative life i can man up and say the Boks won 2007 and deserved it.
