    This sort of time expired 'vengeance' is just what you get with the likes of Bachelet in charge.

    Why was it a problem with an Army captain firing on “activists”?

    We have the same problem in Uruguay with the illiterate, innumerate, murdering commie bastard who is now our president: what a wonderful example to all the young people in the country. His claim about inflation ‘it never bothered me’ must be seen in the light that he was robbing banks at gunpoint at the time.

    I have no idea why the people of SA seem to become imbeciles when politics is mentioned, preferring Marxist / communists / socialists over business lead parties. Perhaps it’s because they are idle buggers compared to workers in the western countries.

    The Chilean government is to be congratulated for their support of the rule of law.

    The Actists weren't supporting the rule of law, were they.

    What an idiot you continue to be, have you thought of suicide: that would cure the idiocy anyway.
