Obama's website calls people terrorists if they disagree with Health Care
Disagreeing with Obamacare in the US will make you a terrorist.
In a recent post on the Obama's website they go as far as to call people: “Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process.”
This is shocking, the Obama presidency calls all those thousands of angry residents terrorists for disagreeing with something they have every right to disagree with. Obama had a policy to stop using the words "terrorism" because of the previous president using it for everything and everyone that does not agree with him.
This is both dangerous and should wake up the people of the US.
Personal Safety Measure tips for Soccer World Cup 2010 South Africa
February 25, 2009 by Daizy
I have made this list for those who would still like to come to the world cup even though South Africa's reputation of crime. Firstly do not make the mistake to think safety only starts when you arrive in South Africa. It starts when you pack for the trip. 1. Always double secure your luggage and carry your valuables on your person. Baggage theft is a big problem here at our airports so you can never be to safe. 2. Bring only cashier checks and credit cards. 3. Pack some sort of self defense things for example pepper spray. When you arrive in our country the fun begins. Remember to us as locals most of these things are so normal to us it seems safe but it is not. I have personally not have had any attacks on my safety but I have had many family members who have been robbed and vandalized. 1. Never, ever walk around alone. Always be in a small group of at least 3 adults and more. 2. Plan your days carefully before time. What routes you are going to take and places you want to visit. 3. If you can afford it use a travel agency. They are well trained and would make sure you are not placed in harms way. 4. Do NOT use public transport it is extremely dangerous. Especially trains. They are making a new train for Johannesburg, it would be safer than the current trains. That's if it is completed by 2010. There are plenty of taxi cars which you can call up from your hotel. Stay away from taxi buses they tend to overload and over charge. Plus we have something called taxi wars, taxi owners literally shoot at each other and set cars alight. hopefully you would not encounter that it's mostly in informal settlements that it takes place. 5. If you decide to hire a car and drive around yourself there are certain things you should know. Always tip the car guards, taxi buses are dangerous drivers try to avoid them. When driving in Johannesburg it is very very dangerous especially in night time. Do not stop if you don't have to. 6. Do not carry valuables on your person almost all guesthouses and hotels provide saves. 7. Do not trust any one, that is same all over the world but here it could endanger yourself if you trust people you do not know.
And here is just a tip for those of you who still want to come to South Africa. You can haggle with people selling stuff in stalls but please do not rip them of. They need to make money to survive just like anyone else and if they cannot they will end up being criminals too. We have many safe places to go and see for example we have many safe beaches with security guards etc. There are also many malls and shopping centers. If you are staying for the whole of the World cup you would get to see the whole of South Africa and probably would be to busy seeing things to be scared. I know many would not come here because they are to scared and my husband will call me a traitor for saying this but you should not let fear to put you of. There is so much to see and experience in South Africa it is one of the most difference countries in the world. And above all it would be a trip you would never forget.
Elephant wants to camp with at Kruger national Park
December 24, 2008 by evl
Elephants can be really dangerous animals, the can also be real fun animals. Here we can see a Elephant wanting to join in some camping. I know this is the Kruger National Park because of the number plates on the car and the types of bushes. Although I might be totally wrong.

The danger of the Soccer world cup in South Africa
December 10, 2008 by evl
Just today we i read about how the taxi drivers are threatening to disrupt the soccer world cup
Iafrica reported
They quoted a protester, Surren Taxi Association's Ismail Baradon, as saying that if the transport ministry did not respond to their concerns there would be disruptions during the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
So imagine for a moment that the soccer world cup is here and thousands of tourists are here. How easy it would be for some group like the taxi drivers or some workers to use the Soccer world cup as a weapon and threaten it some way.
Another example would be what happened in Mumbai. The tourists was worse off. I know that's a total different criteria but i guess you get the point.
The soccer world cup could be used as a weapon or a point of negotiations with strikers or whoever wants something and that is dangerous.
South Africa makes the top20 of most dangerous places on earth
December 2, 2008 by evl
South Africa has made the top 20 of the most dangerous places on earth according to the Telegraph a british newspaper website.
South Africa
South Africa suffers from a high level of violent crime, including rape and murder, although most visits to the country are trouble-free as the majority of cases occur in townships and areas away from tourist destinations. Robberies and car-jackings at gunpoint are increasingly common.
Although they might have it wrong about where the crime occurs, because it occurs in rich neighborhoods as well this should be something to add to the wonderful stats of our country. As usual the government denies this and calls it ridiculous but the truth is South Africa is one of the most dangerous places on the face of the planet.
Dumb ass of the day - Joan Muller: lets rename Pretoria streets after dictators
October 22, 2008 by evl
Anc councillor wants to name streets after famous dictator Fidel Castro as well as Che Guevara. I think they should fire her for being that stupid. Seriously does she have nothing better to do than to walk around in Pretoria trying to rename streets?
The Freedom Front plus said that (from news24)
"The local ANC is trying something far above their competence - they did not think through all the implications of their insane name changes."
In the first place who was the person that put that person in control of anything, hopefully she took the train to work because it would be a danger to civilization to give such a person car keys.
Where do these people come from? Oh hang on, i know they come from the Mbeki regime or is that the new Zuma regime? I dont know but soon the US will be standing on street corners with machine guns in your local township if the ANC continues on their paths.

Coolbay and view of Rooi els from the road.
September 14, 2008 by evl
The photograph obviously looks better in full size. Most magnificent skies and the detail of the mountain to the left is also nice. Bunch of surfers in the water there. Coolbay streams are strong and its quite a dangerous place to surf. If you know not exactly what you doing rather not attempt surfing there. There is also a small cave to the far right of Coolbay.
