Christianity EtcRe: How Did Black People Become Black? by agathamari(f): 2:35am On Jun 03, 2010
as we shed most of our hair we exposed ourselves to the uv rays of the sun and potential sunburns. melanin to protect our skin. the more exposeure the skin had to the sun the darker the skin became, the less exposure the skin had the lighter it became. the same goes for eye color. hair color/thickness/texture is long debated though sunlight and diet played major roles in it. (diet played a role in inuets and skin color). many evolutionary models show that humanoids had skin that was a light brown color when we first began to shed. that we became darker as a whole then some began to lighten again.

@ Oba234
Robbing a bank is wrong right, a man having intimacy with a fellow man is morally wrong too, i
you do realize that 300 years ago marring someone whos father had a differnt job then your father was considered moraly wrong. marring someone who was not a virgin was moraly wrong, marring someone with more then 2 year age gap was moraly wrong, marring someone of a different denomination (talk less about different religion) was moraly wrong, marring outside your race/ethnic group was moraly wrong. this is just the latest in a long line of relationship tabboos, i wonder what will be next?

TravelRe: Cheapest Flight To America! by agathamari(f): 12:33am On Jun 03, 2010
where are you fling into?  your middle eastern airlines tend to have some cheap flights, some european are realativly cheap as well.  i have see luftanza for $800 before.  talk to some travel agents - us travel agents (over the phone).  sometimes it is cheaper to buy a roundtrip starting in the US rather then a one way from nigeria.  go on travel sites and such

your final destination will play a huge role in the price.  example flying into say jfk will be sometimes $300-500 cheaper then flying into scranton which is only 60 miles away, flying into dc can be $400 cheaper then Baltimore which is less then 30 miles away.  also look into amtrac.  sometimes it is cheper to fly into a place like dc, la or ny or other major hub and take a train to your final destination.
CultureRe: What Is Your Take On Homosexualism? by agathamari(f): 12:18am On Jun 03, 2010
it depends on you religion and how much europeans influence the culture.  non judeo/christians who are relativly untouched by colonial europe for the most part tolerate it (yes africans as well, homosexuality in africa as well as the rest of the world has been recorded and tolerated even encouraged PRIOR to the time of exploration).  those areas that have been infuenced by judeaochiristian ideas or colonial ideals and are still somewhat developing view it as an evil vile thing.  those who are of a more modern or open minded way are again tolerating it.   people who are extremly religious in the judeochristian sence see it as evil as well

personaly i see it as nothing any diffent then a guy dating a fat girl or a girl dating guys who play a particular sport.  it is thier personal choice that has no impact on my life so no reason why i should give a damn about it.  it pisses me off to see how people treat them like dirt because of thier choice when they are no differnt then anyone else and there is no reason to treat them poorly.

if a married woman is friends with her ex then her husband should as well be friends or at least be on speaking terms with said man. the husband should ask the ex, or the wife with the husband knowing before hand

PoliticsRe: Swastikas At Lekki by agathamari(f): 7:19am On Jun 02, 2010
swastikas have been found worldwide for over 10,000 years including sumeria 3000 B.C., ancient greece, vedic dharma, mayans, ancient india, ancient china, nordic tribes, native americans, egyptians, aztec, persia, inca, romans, chinese, japanese, ancient troy and celts, orthodox christians, carlsberg lager, coca-cola, and the boy scouts, with the oldest know swastika from the upper paleolithic period (late stone age). the friday mosque in sfahan, iran has lots of beautiful mosaic symbols in various places and many of them have beautiful and colourful images of Swastika designed. synagogue at Tel Hum, Capernaum, Swastika is found on the breeze side by side with the Star of David. It has been used to represent good luck, celestrial objects like the sun/comets, wheel of life, roman god jupiter, greek god apollo, christian symbol for christ, peace, fertility/regeneration and can be seen adorned in ceremonies of birth, marriage and festivals. Another example of the use of Swastika by the people of Jewish origin can be found in the USA; in 1916 the Portland Oregonian Newspaper ran an advertisement for Pacific Coast Biscuits, a Jewish firm that made Matzos. A large Swastika dominates the advertisement, which claims, “The Trademark Stands for Supreme Quality”

now being the man is indian remember the swastika is an ancient symbol of Vedic Aryans Of Aryavarta. It is a symbol which stands for truth, compassion, tolerance and happiness. Swastika is the oldest religious symbol known to the human race and is widely recognised in various cultures all across the world.

first off the devil cannot make you do anything. the whole idea of heaven/hell is based on free will and you alone are responcible for your actions. the pastor and so called wife both need to be removed from your life. get an annulment and move on. if she can cheat on you the day after your wedding god only knows what she will do later or what/who else she has done

HealthRe: An Underbite Problem by agathamari(f): 6:16am On May 29, 2010
it has to be custom made.  your large orthodontist offices would have access to it, you small one man back room dentist - no.   they will take a plaster mold of the teeth.  the measuments will be sent away for manufacturing (shouldnt take more then 2 weeks).  the appliance is made of the same material as a retainer, just larger.  it will literally take up the whole mouth and holds the jaw in such a way that it pulls the lower jaw out.  your child will complain about it because it is not comfortable at all, some even say it is mildly painful after wearing it a few hours.  usually they say to wear it for 6 month (sever underbite is all day, mild is only at night) though some can stop wearing it earlier and some have to wear it longer.  i have hear of people wearing them for over a year or as little as 3 months.  make sure you clean it very very well (vinegar is often recommenced for this).  some orthodontist will recommend head gear since it is cheaper, though very noticeable.  below is a picture of a Frankel to give you an idea

HealthRe: An Underbite Problem by agathamari(f): 3:41pm On May 28, 2010
a frankel appliance is often used to correct an underbite. some must be worn at all times save when eating or drinkng while others only overnight. they must be custom made and usualy once the child is about 10 years old.

^^^ really that different? both are off hand remarks to describe another race. you want to claim that oyibo has benign roots therefor it is OK? hell the n word means the color black in Latin. cant get any more benign than that yet everyone knows it isn't acceptable to be said. you claim that because you feel it is OK there for it should be, there are thousands who say the n word is OK, doesn't make it so. the only reason why you take offence to n word is because it describes you. you all bitch and complain about how others speak about Nigerians but don't give a shit about how Nigerians talk about others.
