FoodRe: Oyinbo Soup by agathamari(f): 2:55am On May 18, 2010
one from a university compiled by professors (3rd on my list) and one probably written by a 13 year old

hmmmmmm, i wonder which is more relable


so because bored children refer to buses by thier name it is ok to teach your child to call someone negrito or any other? this mentality does nothing but promote inapproprate racial relations
FoodRe: Oyinbo Soup by agathamari(f): 2:52am On May 18, 2010
you do know wikipedia is notoriously unrelaiable. you can go on there now and write an article saying the moon is made of dryer lint and it will be added to thier site. it is writen by random people online and requires NO documentation of the info. besides that - this article even states it was used to MOCK! white people because of thier accents.

^^^^ oyibo in yoruba traditional means peeled skin/skinless person. how is this not derogatory in itself? people using a derogatory term often see nothing wrong with it. i could give a shit less if it is a nigerian calling me an oyibo or a white guy calling you a N. or someone calling somone esle a spik or any of a variety of other terms. i racial slur is a slur regardless of what it is and no one slur is worse then any other. you feel the N word is worse because it is used agaist you, just as an asian would feel gook is worse. strange thing is that on your own tv stations they have had numerous interviews with europeans and americans who have stated that that word is derogatory and offensive. i have even read interviews in punch to the same effect. offence lies in the reciever, as with any slur

^^^^ sitting here saying that a word which is classified as a slur and is obviously a term used to describe a race is ok because teh USER is not offened by it is assinine. if a white person refered to yo with the N word (which means the color black in latin, not a skinless person as this word does) you would be up in arms for it. as per topic there is no such thing as a white soup nor is there such thing as a black soup. something common in spain isnt common in sweeden no more then something common in kenya being common in nigeria.

drrionelli:
I certainly don't mean to digress from the topicality, but allow me to ask: I have been referenced here as "oyinbo" (also "oyibo"wink. It was, supposedly, because of my putative fondness for manifesting the formalities of the English language in my postings.

In fact, I am, indeed, a Black person (of Canadian birth, living now as a US citizen). Should I have been offended by this term? It was my assumption that the poster making the designation was doing so in a cavalier, good-natured manner.

What say thee?
as i understand, the original translation of the word means a skinless or weak person
FoodRe: Oyinbo Soup by agathamari(f): 11:47pm On May 17, 2010
^^^^^ oyibo is classified as a racial slur, feel free to look it up for yourself. you may not feel it is but others do.
FamilyRe: This Lady Wouldn't Just Leave My Husband Alone by agathamari(f): 2:32am On May 17, 2010
they are both guilty. before you start sleeping with any guy it is your responsibility to make sure he does not have a wife or girl friend. ignorance is no excuse. the man being in a relationship (married or dating) has no business with another woman period. if he had nothing to do with her but she continued to harass him he is still partially at fault since he could not simply go to his wife and tell her about the woman and ask the wife for assistance in dealing with her. no matter how you slice it they both are equally at fault.
FoodRe: Oyinbo Soup by agathamari(f): 2:19am On May 17, 2010
"oyinbo soup"? is it remotely possible for you to ask a question without the slur?
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Bible Outdated And Irrelevant? by agathamari(f): 2:11am On May 17, 2010
though the bible has been shown to include SOME historical content it is not accurate. some of the stories in the bible have been shown to be similar to things recorded by the Egyptians and through geological records though the dates tend to be off (the plagues didn't occur over a matter of days rather over several centuries according to other records of the time) or are exaggerated. one last thing to remember is that religions world over have a common action of taking some form of hallucinogen before speaking to "god", there is no reason to believe that the judeo-christians didn't do the same as the other 4,000+ religions did.
FamilyRe: My Friend Caught His Mother With His Friend On His Father's Bed by agathamari(f): 6:25pm On May 13, 2010
he should talk to his mother. she is the one who ruined the realtionship by sleeping with the boy and the only one to blame for any results. again he should talk to her, tell he he know and she needs to do teh right thing and tell the father as well as break off all contact with the boy (have a talk with the boy). the father has every right to know and if the "wife" doesnt care enough to do so on her own then the son should tell him. the mothers secret is not worth the fathers health

as long as the male friends are not a secret from her partner and they are strictly plotonic then it doesnt matter
RomanceRe: Relocation: Who Should Relocate Women Or Men? by agathamari(f): 6:18pm On May 13, 2010
man or woman is not the question. who has the better job? who has the ability to be promoted in said job? who has the ability to get a transfer? what are the conditions of both towns (crime rates, cost of living, schools)? who has the better home?

6 months is not that long if you are in love with the person. many people live happily married with seperations due to work for this long and even longer. if a 6 month seperation destroys your relationship then it wasnt that strong to begin with
FamilyRe: Whats The Role Of Money & Material Things In Relationships? by agathamari(f): 6:11pm On May 13, 2010
a relationship based on money or other financial gains in return for an action is an employee/employer relationship - not love. if you wish to rent yourself a working girl then by all means continue believing that money is the root of love. if you wish to have an actual loving relationship stay away from the club girls and whores and find a decent girl
FamilyRe: Why Do We Have More Widows Than Widowers? by agathamari(f): 6:08pm On May 13, 2010
or you could look at it realisticly. the bible and all other religious texts are little more then a book of fables, old stories and rules set out by men. humans are animals and for the most part female animals live longer then male. carnivore, herbavore or omnivore matters not. if it was because of strees, the food we eat or any other modern intervention our life expectancies would be going down which they are not. infact the more developed a country the longer its life expectancy, the more primative the culture the lower thier overall life expectancy.

HealthRe: How Much Is Too Much? by agathamari(f): 5:40pm On May 13, 2010
stick to the food pyramid. cutting carbs from you diet will lead to quick weight loss but when they are reintroduced the weight will come back. you will be very hard to find a certified nutritionist or obesity specialist who will encourage a carb free diet. stay away from processed carbs like bleached flour and use whole grain flours. cut out refined sugars, saturated fats and non- meat products like skin, fat and cartilage. cut your caloric intake by no more then 500 calories below your body's recommended allotment daily. as to eating too much of certain veggies and fruits - some can turn you skin, eyes and urine colors if you consume too much - beets, carrots and tomatoes in particular.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Aren’t Christians Better Off Than Non-christians? by agathamari(f): 10:54pm On May 08, 2010
because there are over 4300 religions actively practiced on the planet and if there is a involved god how do we know which is the true religion? are there really thousands of gods or one or none? if there are thousands, which is most powerful? if only one who is correct or are all religions pointing to one god but calling him by different names? is there a god who is involved in his creation or does he merly watch us like a fishtank or are we alone?

otawa:
History also told us that USA is the country that wiped-out a nation of people: the red indians.
the us did not wipe out the native americans - they are still around. did they kill and/or displace them yes and canada did the exact same thing at the same time. if you look far enough back into the history of any country/colony/kingdom/tribal lands you will find a similar story including ones that are going on today. just because the us openly admits to many of its wrong doings while other countries do everything in their power to hide their is no reason to demonize them.

im sorry but this is a duh! you never put anything to your mouth without it being washed or in a freshly opened sterile wrapper. think about the thousands of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores that rodents and insects drop when they walk accross you food containers. many insects regurgitate stomach acids to liquify thier food before eating it, you want to have the stomach acid of a blow fly in you mouth?
