A challenge to all bloggers

Today is Mandela Day. It's also Nelson Mandela's 93rd birthday.
But, back in November of 2009 the United Nations declared July 18th each year as Mandela Day. This day is to be celebrated by sharing good works of service for the community.

So, within this blog community I challenge you to post a blog that is of service to our little online community. I did so yesterday with my "Surf's Up" blog reminding bloggers to check their old blogs for newer responses.

Naturally, you are free to blog however you like. But, I personally challenge you today to be of service for our CS community to comemmorate Mandela Day and to help make our little global community a better one. peace

Hi Jim. well i posted a blog to hopefully get the shy ones in europe to dear show up at the blogs. For an open including and bigger blog-communety. I peronally have one for you too.
But no fighting, ok? U get excited when one perticular blogger is sent out. What should i then say when 3 of my friends are sent out, or actually 4?
Isent that apartheid when one person is put higher than any other, nomather what u label them.

And no names pls, or refrances to conflicts of the past please. Just answer if you think its right to say: "this one should be in, but not these several others cos thy I classefy as bad."

To Mandela's memory of none-apartheid.
The intention of the person I defended was simply to have fun & share laughter. However, after being repeatedly verbally attacked and having blogs targeting her, she retorted in a negative way, which while against site rules, is understandable.

Alternatively, if a person's INTENT (evidenced by actions) is to create havoc and target others, then yes, those types should be banned.

I have no ideas as to who the 3 or 4 people you are referring to are. dunno

No thanku. U see im not a gentleman

Frank, protect them how ?

This is the internet.
No one is doing anyone any physical harm and if they were,
I couldn't do a darn thing about it from 15,000 miles away.
In real life I could easily knock someone down.

Here females have an equal stance/voice.
Plus, not all females here are ladies,
and not all those with a female profile are in real life, women.
Until you meet someone in real life, I wouldn't fully
trust that what you see is what you get.

Nonetheless, I do verbally DEFEND anyone (male or female) that does not DESERVE to be chastised (and most of us don't) when they are.
Alternatively, those who have EARNED being on my bad side are not going to get defended by me. They are on their own. wave
And certainly, I am not signing every comment I make on here....The White Knight. laugh
To the white knight and the black knight, wave laugh

If you do make your rounds on CS, distribute this invitation to our members here. It's already after midnight here so I won't have the time to deliver them personally....cheers

3. Thou shall not be jealous - rather be full of love heart wings


The White Knight - I can only think of 3 that could be used here and make this small global community a better place (in my opinion).... peace heart wings teddybear
Somewhere else looking for a hero like Mandela?
Not sure. Hope everyone everywhere walks tall as in Modern SA.
applause Viva Mandela!!
Walk tall & proud. applause
Change through peace. peace
To the Black Knight,

Thank you so much gift I am just a humble member on this site who strongly believes in peace and harmony on this site.peace And my salute goes to you the Black Knight and the White Knight for trying to preserve that peace and harmony here.... cheers heart wings teddybear
The White Knight,

I agree with you that we can not force friendship on others but
I strongly believe that if we TREAT each other as friends whether they are enemies or not or they accept us or not, we have already done one good deed. By doing this (this applies to me personally), I know that my heart and mine are at peace.

There is a saying that goes somewhat like this..."Win your enemies by loving them - ( I love this saying) teddybear peace heart wings
t - there are many enemies you will never win by "loving them".
Nonetheless, you can better defeat them, or at least neutralize them, by understanding them and since love is a total understanding, there's SOME truth to what you say. However,
if you truly love your enemies you are open to a lifetime of
heartache. Personally, I prefer revenge. But the revenge I prefer best is a life lived VERY well. peace
Jim,

True, I won't be able to win many enemies by "loving them". But when I say "loving them", that means there is no room for hatred in my heart. I forgive and forget and continue with my life. Whether they accept my forgiveness or not, that is their loss or problem, not mine. Why should I walk around or live with a grudge or hatred in my heart - not good for my health..... This in turn allows me to live a lifetime of contentment, not heartache.....My revenge is simple - LOVE THEM even if THEY REALLY HATE MY GUTS. heart wings teddybear
VIVA MANDELA>>peace Jim I think my computer has altzhiemers,it only has 50 GB of Short term memory..rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing cheers
T - there is a fine line between love & hate. Indeed, it sounds more like you have apathy for your enemies.

P - Then why don't you RAM it. laugh
Actually 50GB is very high. confused
Mine is only 1GB of RAM.
