Having a doggy could be one of the gratifying and joyful experiences which can get masters away from home, enjoying the advantages of workout and meeting new people. It is important never to undertake this delicately though. Dog training is a crucial step in developing a joyful dog that acts well. Taking on a rescue dog needs more dedication as unwanted behaviors might need to be trained too.

Springboks are fleet of foot, prancing and leaping through the game parks. They are turned into biltong which is chewy. Am I right in saying they have stripes to distinguish them from other types of deer during the mating season?
Proteas are flowers, with petals that one can pick and put in a vase.
Lions lie around all day in the sun, getting up to jump on springboks when they are hungry - or it could be zebras or other meaty creatures. They don’t eat grass.
A symbol is a thingemyjig that represents something else. The representation may vary from person to person or from political era to poltiical era.
A word is a kind of symbol. Or semiotically is signifies. What does it signify? Don’t ask me. I am a crocodile … maybe a bit chubby and coverd in scales with big teeth. Maybe not.
SNAP … grrr SNAP … boing … tee hee

@horse…”All I see is fat Afrikaner racists men swirling brandy and coke, calling the people around them the K -word. Flying their old SA flag. And that is still happening in 2009!”

How can you see that a fat Afrikaner is a racist and a fat African is not?

Is your tardiness in responding an indication for the speed of your thinking?

The Springbok emblem is a symbol of racism. I do not care how much fluff you go and dig up to put a pretty face on it, it will always be that because even if its intensions were initially positive, it was turned into a mostrous symbol of hate.

But I couldn’t care less. I have never, and will never support the Springboks. They are not my team and do not represent me as a South African at all.

You can turn the SA rugby jersey emblem into a coffee can, and I would not care. I’ll still be cheering for every other team in the world against them.

All I see is fat Afrikaner racists men swirling brandy and coke, calling the people around them the K -word. Flying their old SA flag. And that is still happening in 2009!

Well done Patric. Great bit of information. I had absolutely no idea there was even a movement like that running parallel to the dark ages. Please forward to Khompela and co..

@CAS …and this is how Zim came to where it is today. Lots of words, little action. The African way, be it African white or African black. Another chapter closed!

CAS - well well, I observed the same. It makes one think that the support base is actually quite small.

No public gatherings, no green and gold fountains, no Bok Town bar room turn out, no flags, banners bunting, nada - just a few construction workers I saw with pirated counterfeit merchandise.
