carefreewannabe:You must have thought I was going to deny ever sending you a mail...heck, that's just disappointing. Now what's even more disappointing and shameful is the idea that you'd want to make it seem like I've been sending mails in the dozens to you...Lmao, like seriously Carefree? As far as my business with you on NL goes, ONLY 3 empty mails have been sent from my person to you, all of which were spaced many weeks apart...you replied none, and I even commented on one of these instances to you on a thread for all to see - I got nothing to hide. As for alluding to your posts, darling I did it once, and not on almost every thread. I really do not want to believe you're losing it. So now, do you know that ELLYsian sounds a lot like you or not? Just a question... 4 Likes |

5minsmadness: I will not repeat theAfrican thingy because cococandy, damiso and efe has done so. I agree with you that wearing a gym suit to travel is wierd and even a mark of illiteracy but I disagree that it is a result of western influence because they do not wear it to travel. They made it for a purpose; gyming. I will blame it on semi-literacy. There is a dresd code for every occasion and the onus lies on us as individuals to learn the appropriate dress code per time and dress accordingly. If I were there, I would walk up to her or pass her a note. Indecent dressing always makes the person trashy and classless. There is beauty and elegance in decent clothes. It also makes the wearer look fresh and respectable |

crackhaus: You really suffer from memory loss. You have already confessed it on NL some time ago. Why would I then think you would deny it? Now what's even more disappointing and shameful is the idea that you'd want to make it seem like I've been sending mails in the dozens to you...Lmao, like seriously Carefree? You have sent more than three emails even though I asked you not to because I have a boyfriend. Now this is shameful. As far as my business with you on NL goes, ONLY 3 empty mails have been sent from my person to you, all of which were spaced many weeks apart...you replied none, and I even commented on one of these instances to you on a thread for all to see - I got nothing to hide. You have alluded to my posts on more than one thread but it's ok. So now, do you know that ELLYsian sounds like you or not? Great, at least I am not the only intelligent person here. 3 Likes |

"We" are not without, individually and collectively, our own moral deficiencies. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." - Matthew 7:3-5 1 Like |

carefreewannabe:I suffer from memory loss but I remember commenting on you not replying my mail on some thread a long time ago? Let's leave the memory loss aside, you know my memory works fine. See tactics You truly are desperate in trying to accomplish whatever you thought you could by bringing up this talk of mails...I'm ashamed for you So sending you a mail means I want to be your boyfriend? Or did I tell you I want you to be my girlfriend? Lol, you're certifiable... I have corresponded (and still do) via mails with a number of respectable ladies on here who have nothing to hide, none of them have ended up my girlfriend. Please state for all to see exactly how many mails I've sent to you Miss Carefreewannabe. You have alluded to my posts on more than one thread but it's ok.On this issue of alluding to your posts, your mind is playing tricks on you. I'm not a hater as there is nothing about your person/status I should be hateful on/about. You're quite conceited though Not like I'm hating here, but how intelligent is a person who thinks that every guy who sends her a mail on NL, wants to date her? Or what about a person who labels me a hater but still believes I'm interested in being her boyfriend, how does this work exactly? 6 Likes |

crackhaus: Did I say you want to date me? How intelligent is someone who cannot respect that a girl does not want to exchange emails with guys she doesn't know because she has a boyfriend? And how intelligent is someone who argues in favor of gender inequality using + / - analogies? Take care Cracky and continue hating in silence. 4 Likes |

bukatyne: Just in case you have missed it the OP thinks that it is inappropriate to wear track suits on journeys, any track suits. |
Re: How The West Corrodes Our Morality by crackhaus: 5:58pm On Oct 26, 2014 |
carefreewannabe:Ahh the gender equality thing. Well the analogy may not have been totally perfect fit...but yeah, when there's no total equality, then it results in total inequality. There cannot be half equality. Now are you going to tell us exactly how many mails I've sent you? Redeem your lying self. 3 Likes |

5minsmadness: Ok I get the kind if gym wear you mean now.i would not wear that travelling long distance as well. I don't even really like wearing track suits long distance maybe the occasional school run or dash to the supermarket at the most. But that is me so I can't project my fashion issues on others.I have seen mums drop off their kids at school in pyjamas (under a winter jacket )something I would NEVER do but then again I can kinda understand the mad rush in the mornings which might have prompted that, Funny enough like has been noted by someone else even in the west people would look at you funny if you wear what you described on a long distance journey but hey not everyone wears occasion appropriate clothes. I think it was More a fashion faux pas.People even look down or are snobbish to people who wear hoodies or track suits all the time they are called chavs here. I think the issue people had (myself included) was not the appropriateness or lack of it of the outfit but the fact they you likened her poor dress sense to western morals. 1 Like |

Interesting thread. I think i get the Op's line of reasoning: 1. The Op saw an indecently dressed lady. 2. The Op soliloquized that if not for the rampant western ideology of: a. "Mind your own business" b. People who correct you are 'haters' c. freedom of dressing, no matter how outlandish it may be d. it is the viewer/complainer and not the indecent dresser that should be cautioned when a person appears indecently dressed(evidenced by what happened on the first few pages of this thread) If not for the above, the lady wouldn't have had the guts to wear what she did in the first place. 3. The OP decided to air his views publicly instead. 4. What the Op was concerned about came to reality. What is amazing me is the amount of blatant and blind support people online have for the west. I mean, why all the unnecessary anger? was the op wrong in pointing out indecent dressing? Was the op wrong in saying the West is morally more bankrupt than we are? I dont think he was. Even westerners complain about the level of moral decadence in their society, yet some Nigerians will support them to high heavens as if they will get free visa for doing so. It is quite different from corruption - yes it is possible Nigerians are more corrupt than the west. Yes we have our own problems of ritual killings and poor economy, religious upheavals, etc. But that doesn't mean that if we see something bad we should condone it. Correcting our ills must start from somewhere. What is bad is bad and we should not be ashamed to speak up when we see it for fear of being labelled "18th century." My 2cents. 5 Likes 5 Shares |
