What did Nelson Mandela actually DO?
He sat in a prison cell for 27 years. So did a lot of other people.
So why do people think he's so good?!?!?!??!!
*Has a modern history exam on this*

Gah... don't remind me. My MH exam is tommorrow at 8 in the morning stare and... Quote: Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (IPA Image:Rolihlahla.png) (born July 18, 191 cool was the first President of South Africa to be elected in fully-representative democratic elections. Before his presidency he was a prominent anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress. He was tried and imprisoned for his involvement in underground armed resistance activities. The armed struggle was a last resort; he had remained steadfastly committed to non-violence.[1] Through his 27-year imprisonment, much of it spent in a cell on Robben Island, Mandela became the most widely known figure in the struggle against South African apartheid. Although the apartheid regime and nations sympathetic to it considered him and the ANC to be communists and terrorists, the armed struggle was an integral part of the overall campaign against apartheid. The switch in policy to that of reconciliation, which Mandela pursued upon his release in 1990, facilitated a peaceful transition to fully-representative democracy in South Africa.

I always use wiki. Do you have a problem with that? At least i was trying to help, which is more than i can say for you.
I'm also rather pissed off at the moment... do not get on my bad side.

I think he means that most teachers don't accept Wikipedia as a viable information source because anyone can go on there and edit stuff. There may be no research behind some of the suff people post there, they could just make it up. sweatdrop

*laughs* Don't worry about it. Wiki's good as a platform to get to other more reliable sources.
Lainy was just in a bad mood.

But if you want general knowledge on things it's fine. Sure people can go edit it but they're are other people that would say if its right or wrong. You can get banned from editing articles if you continuously spam the place with wrong information.
