Why does the South African accent sound so evil?
It sounds like a person with a German accent trying to sound do a British accent.
shareIt sounds like a stronger New Zealand accent to me
shareOi. Piss right off with THAT *beep*

Because it's English mixed with Dutch. And the Dutch are evil. ;) Almost half of them don't believe in God, as opposed to approximately 10% atheists in the rest of the world.
shareSo.....don't know any Dutch people and never been to The Netherlands, eh?
shareAs a matter of fact, I am Dutch.
shareDutch or of Dutch heritage?
Yes, nearly half of the population in The Netherlands has no religious affiliation which is not the same as being an atheist.
Dutch, born and raised.. and still living here :)
I've witnessed this culture first hand and can't say I'm happy. The non-religious (even those who don't profess to be atheist) have zero tolerance for any religion, blaming the religious for all the wars in the world and what not.
Furthermore, I adhere to the belief that anyone who is not Christian is open to influence by the evil one, even when they profess not to be religious. This is obviously clear in the Netherlands. There is an attitude prevalent amongst the non-religious people in my country that looks surprisingly much like the prophesied behavior of satanic people and pagan religions in general.
Furthermore, it is rumored that the worldwide Church of Satan has it's headquarters in the Netherlands for the sole reason that we have absolute freedom of religion.. this includes freedom for satanists.
The attitude of the non-religious in the Netherlands is not non-religious.. it is anti-religious. They claim not to adhere to any god, but they have a high interest in anything spiritual that doesn't include God. Witchcraft is rampant in the Netherlands. Our children are raised with it.
Maybe if the religious hadn't spent centuries burning witches and heretics they wouldn't now be facing the secular backlash. Maybe if even today they'd keep their self righteous noses out of other people's bodies and bedrooms they wouldn't be facing the secular backlash.
Oh, well. What goes around comes around. You made your bed of intolerance. Sleep in it.

shareHumans screw everything up. Spirituality, as I see it being one's personal relationship with God, outside of any religion might be the answer. It's working well for me. Knowing what I know of people though even sans religion man would find reasons for war.
shareSounds like the people of the Netherlands are highly intelligent. Religion has caused more harm than good. If you believe in a divine being that is fine, but religion is a man made thing used to control people.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

but religion has started many wars, persecution, suffering in general and it's all based on suggestion. i'd put a$$hole satanic people in the same box.

Wow. What a well-reasoned argument. ξ
Religious and anti-religious zealots are just two sides of the same ignorant coin.
If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador?
Not really since more theists bomb healthcare clinics than atheists bomb churches.

Wikus sounds scouse at times especially when he says "i didn't have sex with a fookin prawn man" just replace "man" with "lad" and he would convince me.
shareIt doesn't.
It doesn't sound evil, and it doesn't sound like a person with a German accent trying to do a British accent. It sounds like a South African accent.

shareThe Afrikaner speaking English is often portrayed by Hollywood as the go-to film character who's the evil one. It's their hackneyed schtick.
The Anglo-Dutch settlers in South Africa did a lot to create the economic power--house of the African continent.
