I hope you did a stock-take after he left.

There is a new series? coming up on DSTV where the lead up says that "The history books are written in ink, but the history is written in blood." perhaps never a truer word spoken?

Bluntly, I stick inside the law.

SO - if an employee sent out company secrets I would NOT be happy.

BUT - if they advised clients that I was transgressing tax laws, FAIS legislation, etc., while being ticked off, I would only have myself to blame for breaking the law....

Yes - I would be angry. But acknowledge it was my fault...

Hi Phil,

Very fair answer! Thank you...

I was with him the whole time so nothing went missing. He was an interesting guy to talk to but I am glad no business originated from that.

1. I may be wrong but as I understand it, the USA admitted to killing a certain amount of civilians in Iraq but were not forthcoming of the actual amount of civilians killed which they were privy to.
2. Iraq: Once the Iranian revolution transpired, history informs us that Saddam Hussein invaded Iran and some 1,5 million people were killed on both sides. So, it apparent to me that if you kill civilians and you don’t hide it, i.e. you state that a certain amount of innocent people were killed, then it appears that there is no problem. What is wrong with this scenario???

I suspect the uncomfortable truth is the world holds the USA to a different standard in these things - certainly when it comes to your comparison case countries, and perhaps even the vast majority of nations around the world.

They call it "Collateral Casualties" I call it what it is "Murder and Crime against Humanity"

Hi Carlos, what are you doing with your spare time?

LOL. That was a long time ago. I think around a decade ago, maybe more. I had acquaintances from all walks of life, and still now I feel I do not judge people and so would still have many friends and acquaintances who are perhaps not all from the same walks of life. I haven't seen that person in quite a few years though. I feel a bit guilty for not doing so as it happens, but.. well that's another story. The fact that that person grew himself plants for his own use that were and still are not legal, well, that's nothing about me. Each to their own. Pot doesn't agree with me one bit as it happens.

If I misunderstood, and you didn't mean "what were you doing with your spare time to have encountered such a person and situation", well then the answer to your question is:

I'm learning bass guitar. Playing my acoustic guitar - discovered I like Squeeze (playing along to Labelled with Love and Black Coffee in Bed), and getting my BMW 545i project car on the road. I picked up a new auto box for it and I've had both cylinder heads off, fitted new valve stem seals, replaced the leaking coolant transfer pipe, and every other gasket and seal along the way. Still a way to go on it though.

and I've been to the pub once or twice too

I watched "2 Guns" tonight. It was OK.

Good morning Carlos,

Answer me this: As someone abroad, how do you perceive us generally as South Africans taking into consideration our issues and current headlines?

Hi Carlos, thanks for the reply, ah you know, I was just pulling your leg your post was just so dam funny. I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read what you said

I had a friend who was transgender (Paul / Paula). S/he had an attic full of 6-foot skunk weed plants that was discovered by the police. When he turned up to the crown court hearing dressed as a woman I think the subject of the court case was put into a different perspective.

One lank crazy story, and yes she certainly reduced the severity of the punishment. Misdirection, the prosecution thought about the sex not the drugs. Cunning Paula, should have called herself Lola. I can’t say that I have ever been friends with a transgender person, but I don’t judge people based on their sexuality. If you a good person then you are a good person If you are bad you bad, regardless of all other personal statistics.
