"We, the people of South Africa, Recognise the injustices of our past; Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land; Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.” Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

New DASO ad rocks conservatives

I love the new Democratic Alliance Student Organisation advert! It shows a black women and white man embracing and is titled "In OUR future, you wouldn't look twice". The message is clear - the DA is a party for all that is committed to unifying South Africa. Many conservatives have complained, but in doing so I believe they are merely showing the world that they are racist. Get over it SA... we are changing and the (intelligent) youth is committed to an equal society.

    The reaction to the poster has been, not to put too fine a point on it, ludicrous. We have people saying that it'll promote sex among students, which is a bit like saying we're encouraging fish to swim. And there are some questioning what sex has to do with politics. If only politics was more sexy!

    The Christian Democratic Party said that "at a stage when the country needs higher levels of morality, the DA launches a poster clearly promoting sexual immorality" and that "in a country with high levels of Aids and an overdose of crime, especially the high incidence of farm murders this year, this poster sends the opposite message to the country than needed".

    Let's put it out there -- the Christian Democratic Party are morons. I suspect they have very truncated definitions of the words Christianity and Democracy, and almost no understanding at all of the word "party".

    And what's with this knee-jerk farm murder crap? While the killing of people in rural areas is heinous, and should be dealt with, are we really justified in bringing it up randomly whenever we find an opportunity to bore the nation with our opinion? This just devalues the real issues. "The failure of Bafana Bafana to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, especially given the high incidence of farm murders this year, sends the opposite message to the country than needed," said the Christian Democratic Partypoopers. God, I can't stand idiots."
