    95 years and he did more to change the world than most people ever will.

    Absolutely. Agreed.

    He and his ilk have left a great tragedy, oops I mean a great legacy, the ANC, the wonderful third world country of SA, you know the one, the one that was the gem of Africa and of course, the way I want to go out necklacing.

    There have been more whites and blacks killed since the ANC has taken over in 90s (over 20000) verses when aparteid was present from 1948-1994(less than 6000).

    Oh dont forget the bombing he planned to kill children that got him thrown in prison in the first place.

    Yeah, a great man. hmmmm

    Tacky dude. Just tacky.

    Fair enough; I submit my apologies for giving in to the bait

    there are very few people who have meant more to this world and humanity and who have inspired so many. this was the passing of a truly great man.

    It was an expected event but it is a sad one, and Nelson Mandela will forever be one of history's Great Persons, and we will never forget him. We have lost a great man today, but we must be thankful that we had him here in this mortal coil for 95 years.

    Nelson Mandela was a great man. The world lost a treasure today.

    I lost a birthday twin today. Now it's just me and Vin Diesel.
