I also agree it’s discrimination.

Here in Greece there was a national strike yesterday in protest over shops having to police Covid vaccine checks. The local town was completely shut down ( except supermarkets , which don’t have to check )
Even though you are excused for not understanding the origin and meaning of Dutch expressions, the “apart” piece of the word is in regular use in your language and of similar meaning. The word “apartheid” does not have anything racial included but it does go beyond discrimination: it defines segregation, division of the people based on something. In South Africa it was race, in my v2 definition it is vaccination.

Re: Silver + Gold stacking while cruising?

Right, Jedi !
Just because the Boers used the word there, doesn't mean that it is just meant for blacks and whites. Now it is correct to use it for "vaccine differences" in people.
I myself was VERY MUCH against being vaccinated at all, coming from almost zero cases China to infected Denmark 3 months ago, but I had to, as I brought my daughter here - she had to attend preschool.
I took a one-shot Johnson, to be cleared 2 weeks after.

Maybe in GB they require prepay.
Go to PH. There they have to deliver their service before payment (if they doubt you, they simply take it themselves, when you take your shower after ;-)
Your money, phone, watch or whatever...

Maybe they give credit in the sense of kudos, as in "I give you credit for sneaking away from work for a quickie, but it's still $200." Sorry, I meant Pounds!

Trick it up however you choose - the word 'apartheid' is afrikaans, and was first coined in Suid Afrika the 1920s to mean what it means - racial segregation.
That remains its meaning today.

Put a pig in a party frock - its still just a pig.

Anyone using it regarding vaccine mandates just makes themelves look like a goose.

Re: Silver + Gold stacking while cruising?

Ok, look it up on Wiktionary...

Another topic - in these times, why does no one care about the continued use of GOF (Gain Of Function) that caused all this covid ?
It is now very clear, that this virus is man made.
But they still continue to do these experiments in China (and perhaps other places too).
GOF was/is supported by US.
I don't know why...
It made my life a hell, and still is.
I am lamed in my life.

I am lucky, I am not dead of this lab created GOF virus (yet).

If you doubt the danger of GOF, just look up gain of function on Youtube

Maybe a new thread for this is appropriate...

You know that parroting and name calling is a sign of weakness yet you resort to it anyway… apparently penguins are related to parrots

Also, you may not know this but Afrikaans is the Dutch language brought by the Boers when they migrated from Holland.

Yes I do know that. I spent a a formative bit of my life - from 16 years old to 22 years old- in and around South Africa when apartheid was in full bloom.

And I still cry for my beloved country. ( that is most likely lost on you )

And you?

Of course not, you have to break out one of those smuggled gold coins and put it in the coin slot.

Re: Silver + Gold stacking while cruising?

Before 'licensed seamen's boarding houses ' Titter Titter - were regulated they gave credit.

And even afterwards. They would extend credit to jolly jack tar but he would have to make out an 'allotment note' to them when he joined his next ship giving them a large slab of his wages to them for the next few years to pay off his debt.
Which was why in more recent times you could only make out an allotment note to your own bank account or your mum.

I am very much against apartheid and any other form of discrimination. I think it is the poison in society. I am Dutch but have many friends from SA who left their country because of discrimination.
