One bandwagon after another, fuelled by a desperate media which fills us with more polarised misinformation each and every day. Crime, Eskom, Petrol, Zuma, I&J Fisheries etc etc. And as interest in one develops - how amazing that intyerest in the others decline. Which just proves to me that is a small, but vocal, minority group of (probably white) people running the public opinion in this country.<BR/><BR/>Which, when you think about it, is pretty much as it was pre-94.

Any chance I can find out what your FB group is - I'd love to see that line of conversation too!<BR/><BR/>Bemused - thanks!<BR/><BR/>Jozimemories - Thanks & it was a pleasure. I'm happy that this post seems to have got people thinking & considering - and yes, from what I have been told/ read about/ seen for myself, the overseas job markets are not all Land-Of-Milk-And-Honey as we seem to assume back here. <BR/><BR/>As one Anon said: "i think people are just getting fedup with slow rate of democratic change, but i also think we also need to be reminded of what the true meaning of democracy really is?" We're in a balancing act right now - and we all need to carefully manouevre from this place to the next more-cemented stage. <BR/><BR/>Aaah, Anon/ Leritz - Don't stress. I am around & never forgot about getting back to you. I've just been a bit too frantically busy to "think & talk intelligently" & then away from the internet. Also, I hoped from my quick comment to you, others would reread it & take note. <BR/><BR/>For me, your comment highlighted the difficult balance SA is now really dealing with. The honeymoon period of "freedom for all" & democracy's glittering title has worn off. Now citizens require daily signs of progress and equalising out the societal imbalances. But are some people getting distracted? Taking it on a different course? Should us citizens be more patient? Are they not advertising the subtle progress happening through, say, grants? Are the RDP houses just superficial signs or real improvement for people who haven't had proper housing before? Is the media overhyping the troubles & glitches? <BR/><BR/>Our current position is not easy to see. The balance is very sensitive at the moment. But right now, we have the universal laws on the citizens' side, that we have many many options & forms of access to state institutions available to us, so we need to keep that in focus while we do get twitchy over occasional media-exposed events/ statements/ policies etc.Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-70408752791992006412008-02-25T09:14:00.000+02:002008-02-25T09:14:00.000+02:00Anon - Thanks for the comment and adding new inter...Anon - Thanks for the comment and adding new interesting points.

I mean they received 2 bedroom <BR/>houses(previously known as matchbox houses)with full kitchen+lounge and NOW,<BR/>RDP houses and you are still expected to extend it to accomodate our terribly, large, <BR/>Black families.

I think that you think that simply overpowering people with a filibuster of a reply will scare them enough to make them go away.<BR/><BR/>Are you an expert on the job market? In all fields? If not, how can you argue with this anon person"<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Bemused <BR/>If you’re going to put a name of mine up, why don’t you put your name in the comments? Play fair and all. <BR/>You know the rules here, and I’d appreciate the respect of you sticking to them – such as sticking to the blog nickname. <BR/><BR/>But, looking at the way you argue… you prefer to make it personal, indicating that you have inside information on me, and by using a patronising tone. A tactic of getting me on defence, rather than offence. <BR/><BR/>I can argue, because it is by arguing we learn. Throwing ideas around is how people progress. Playing Devil's Advocate is how we show up gaps in our arguments, and either we must amend and so strengthen the arguement, or we must give it up. <BR/><BR/>Belittling people who do so is one way to gain power but is also away to prefer to stay stagnating – you never really have to test your ideas and opinions as long as you can take the focus off the core argument - undermine the opposition through personal attack. <BR/>“How cute, but really little girl, let the adults play at adult topics [chuckle in bemusement]”. <BR/><BR/>I use words not to be verbose but to make sure my argument, in so few words as I can possibly use, comes across as clearly as possible. Plus, using richer words is what makes me enjoy writing, and makes people read the writing. <BR/><BR/>If you have come here to make a point, make it intelligently, and not through skirting tactics. What is your opinion on the job market? What is your knowledge of job trends? Has the argument between Anon and I made you now consider this & perhaps seek it out? <BR/><BR/>Anon’s argument is to reach conclusions through what they have witnessed through a few examples. Whereas mine is wanting to know what the general trend is, as I believe, a very different conclusion will then be reached. <BR/><BR/>Is this Rhetoric or Logic 101? But then again, what is philosophy, but lots of babble, hey? Or is it what makes us think further?Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-60700794644483112542008-02-20T10:52:00.000+02:002008-02-20T10:52:00.000+02:00By the way, your post was very good.

Any South African now can & is legally able to. But now it does involve much more active and intense competing & creating thinking & action. As is the case in most countries that are open to the global economy. <BR/><BR/>One specific post at a specific company might have B.E.E pasted all over it, even a few might, but not every job opportunity in that field is closed to you because you are not black. Even if this means you have to create your own opportunity through entrepreneurship.<BR/><BR/>“so I don't get why you say in your second reply "And to compare the two & call for the return to the Apartheid era (as life was better then, as the argument goes) is to disrespect millions of people & call for reinstatement of an oppressive dictatorial minority rule" lol who the fuck is calling for a return to the apartheid era"<BR/><BR/>The people who have written up the emails sent & forwarded that I refer to in my post. <BR/><BR/>Your final sentence of your first statement links the rest of your comment to this post. It relates to this post & it concludes the rest of your comment. I have argued about how your comment, as it comes off as a whole, relates to this post.<BR/><BR/>In the next comment you say the conclusion should then be taken away. In doing this, the rest of the first comment loses relevance to the post. I have asked for clarity then in the relevance of your comment to this post. Which you now have said is a stand-alone, out-of-this-post's-context, comment on a single sentence. <BR/><BR/>"And I took back my reverse apartheid statement and said yeah thats the wrong term to use, ermm how are your reading skills?"...<BR/><BR/>What then is the correct term to use?<BR/><BR/>NOW we have come down to that you dislike a sentence, on its own & entirely out of context of this post. NOW you are saying that you are not voicing your opinion on the theme or points raised in this post. <BR/><BR/>Now that is clear – only after following the extraction of a term you made use of. The use of which is being flippantly used leftrightandcentre in today's society. Which, when tripped up on, a person is so quick to say, "But that's not what I was saying”…<BR/><BR/>“Really?

And I took back my reverse apartheid statement and said yeah thats the wrong term to use, ermm how are your reading skills?<BR/><BR/>as for being free to move around, funny enough in my school in 1990, 1991, whites were the minority in my class, I lead a different childhood to most whites, I grew up with predominantly black friends not white ones like you probably did, nothing I say has a racist slant, I always used to say I hated white people while I was growing up, so sure that was racist of me, but anyways moving on, if you re-read my first comment, it was only to do with me thinking your statement was inaccurate, which if you consider things you'd agree wouldn't you? <BR/><BR/>So in case you reply to this, don't delve into all the other stuff when I was/am simply addressing one small portion of the entire post, which is factually inaccurate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-21527854003218929942008-02-19T14:32:00.000+02:002008-02-19T14:32:00.000+02:00Also, I have been confused about your inclusion of...Also, I have been confused about your inclusion of the following statement in your argument:<BR/><BR/>"I used to hang out in a township in the 80's, you seem to like letting people you know that you drive around certain areas oooo."<BR/><BR/>And then had the brainwave that it actually supports my arguement. You have alluded to you being white. And you were free to go where you wished during the 80s. Unlike many people in South Africa, because of the then legal policies. The freedom of movement white people continue in today's South Africa. <BR/><BR/>Your B.E.E. argument continues to play in my head, and for now I could also add (although I am really trying to avoid getting into B.E.E. talk) - at least your friend is legally allowed, if not even encouraged by the state through economic entities - to be entrepreneurial. If you cannot find the job, start one, and so also help many other South Africans by gradually creating other job opportunities. <BR/><BR/>Be aware of how extreme the racial employment policies against black people were during Apartheid, before assuming today's are those ones inverted.Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-91876267378899035692008-02-19T14:12:00.000+02:002008-02-19T14:12:00.000+02:00Anon - then you need to clarify your argument here...Anon - then you need to clarify your argument here, please. This post is about the current state of South Africa not being comparable to the state of South Africa during the Apartheid era. <BR/><BR/>And to compare the two & call for the return to the Apartheid era (as life was better then, as the argument goes) is to disrespect millions of people & call for reinstatement of an oppressive dictatorial minority rule. <BR/><BR/>How does the policy of B.E.E. prove that the entire state of SA governance now is comparable to the state of SA during Apartheid? Or that such a way of life that was lived by the vast majority of South Africans during that Apartheid era is justifiable?<BR/><BR/>"When is there an end to these policies"...please show a progression of racially discriminating policies that the Mandela or Mbeki governments have being gradually implementing since democracy came into being. Then we can argue about a noticeable start. <BR/><BR/>This post is not about B.E.E. & so I am holding back my comments & personal views on that policy so it does not disgress to such a conversation. <BR/><BR/>But to leave you with this: Can you prove that your example person has been discluded from every single job opening of their qualifications & experience based purely on their skin colour? No other factors played roles? Maybe the other candidates were better suited? Have they tried for every single such job opportunity? etc.Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-4557427326500528022008-02-19T13:45:00.000+02:002008-02-19T13:45:00.000+02:00lol is it not racist to exclude a group of people ...lol is it not racist to exclude a group of people from applying for a job based solely on their skin colour??? and well it may have been implemented to counteract and make up for the gross inequality in the past, when is there an end to these policies? and whilst all the white people you know are employed, I however know someone with their masters who can not get a job in their field because of their race, it really is a fact, anyways I'm related to that person and the only white people I actually know are the ones I'm related to, I used to hang out in a township in the 80's, you seem to like letting people you know that you drive around certain areas oooo. Anyways, the term reverse apartheid doesn't apply I agree, but employment wise there is discrimination and exclusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
