He said Muslim grooming gangs, he has never said Muslims are r4pists.
He even go specific must times and say it is Pakistani group.

For him calling attention to a specific detail of something the British Police knows and they covered it up for fear of being called RACISTS is exactly what you are doing to Tommy Robinson. For him, he does not care what you call him, facts are facts. For the police they are afraid of that label and because of that, they allowed young girls (minors) to be rcped
You should listen to him instead of lyîng and making things up.

He is in fact in jail for his racist comments, so I guess I should prepare for you arguing UK is rǎcist against him.

Madam all these are campaigns after the election, you said Bible has been corrupted so how is that my own concern?😟
You are not in anyway my concern, and my posting in this thread need not concern you if you don't want it too.

My claim, despite any corruption, is not the Bible's corruption, but the corruption of understanding the current Bible by people like you who can not see the difference between a creation in God's image, and a creation from mud.

Those created in God's image can not be created from mud, unless you want to claim your God is created from mud, which I doubt you'd dare.

Only those who want to subjugate others would peddle such nonsense. The slave owners in the United States did the same by not letting their slaves read at all, because reading is the result of eating fruits of knowledge. And we all know the result of them learning to read contributed to their emancipation, just as a God would want, and as Jesus taught.

Why are you defending r?pists? He went after grooming gangs and you hate him for that.

He thinks Islam is a danger to the United Kingdom and he is not wrong. What he says about them they have told us with their mouth before Tommy Robinson became a thing.
I hate Tommy Robinson for his îgnorance in claiming Muslims are rǎpists, and for the racism he promotes.

You are however welcome to assume I defend rǎpists. Why don't you go räpe someone and ask me to defend you so you can see how well I do defend you?

Thankfully, UK is so devoid of people who reason like you, that we have elected a Muslim as Mayor of London 3 times already. But I'm sure you'd claim he's raping Londoners and that's why we elect him.

Perhaps you should advise your Tommy Robinson to run for Mayor instead, so you can see how many support his îgnorant view and opinion.

You do care or you wouldn't be seeking my opinion. And you seem to not understand my opinion which I have clearly stated, and which I advise you go read again.

Would you cut grass if you were a teacher?

Would you even accept the job if grass cutting was part of the job description of the teaching job you accepted?

Why should teachers cut grass when they have loads of students they can teach to cut grass?

Is there no benefit in students learning to cut grass and cleaning their environment?
RomanceRe: Between A Guy And His Girlfriend by budaatum: 1:42pm On Sep 06, 2025
I don't think you've shown enough interest in a girl you've been dating for 2 years but have never met.

In fact, I feel you have not got a clue what "obvious love" means, because neither have you shown any love (sending her money despite her not asking is not love, its you buying a product!), nor can I say she has shown you much love either, and what you've not seen can hardly be obvious.

If trust has broken down to the extent you claim, I strongly suggest you move on and find someone else to love who loves you back. But if you do love each other and are willing to do the work that strengthens love, then do it and stop being lazy thinking love needs no work.

Good luck.

Madam, here is your stand saying the Bible has been corrupted so i don't have any further response for you since you feel God's word contradicts itself!
Long before your Bible, which many accept has been edited and corrupted by JWs, the Torah itself was edited with lots of very bad bits removed, and translations had additions and omissions, and that's apart from those done when Christians got hold of it. So calling a book written and edited by human beings in itself, God's word, just shows how little you know. Notwithstanding, one can make it God's word with a godly understanding.

A God will not create different classes of human beings. And a God that does should not be worshipped by those created as lower class naked îgnorant slaves.

Amazingly, the story in the first 5 chapters of Genesis 1 teach people how to elevate themselves from ignorant naked slaves to creations in God's Image. One just need see Adam's supposed achievement of being elevated by Eve from naked ïgnorant mud into a self employed populator of the entire earth with human beings. But I guess some slaves need others to remain slaves like them, and would therefore peddle the îgnorance that they îgnorantly believe.

Jesus never taught such tripe, and would rather you know you are gods with usable senses, and not îgnorant believing mud. Hence the Word, which is not just the literal word as you believe, but the implications of what is believed and understood.

Surely it's not my case rather you have a different case you just want to engage me so go and argue with whoever you like out there if you disagree with the Bible how is that my problem? cheesy
Max, I don't want to engage you at all. And in all sincerity, my response here is not to engage you, but to present an opposing view to yours for readers to consider for themselves.

The Bible is very clear for those who have eyes to see and can read.

The Image of God was created on day 6, and was told to rule the entire earth and subdue and multiply and be blessed, and to eat every seed bearing fruit, which clearly included the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. While the creation from mud was after God is written to have rested on day 7, which means on day 8 or afterwards, and it was ordered to work naked in a tiny garden, which is not the earth. And was told not to eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge, which anyone with a brain of their own in their head that they know how to use would see would make the creation from mud ignorant and unable to rule and subdue anything at all, not to talk of a garden they don't even own, or a earth they are too îgnorant to know exists or understand the implication of ruling.

Now, it does favour church leaders to have naked ignorant creations from mud in their churches that they can control and exploit. And I can see how many have been convinced a creation in God's image is the same as a creation from mud, but I know that ignorance and darkness can not forever overcome the Light of Knowledge and Understanding, and I have faith in the human ability to eventually use their own senses to see and reason.

England did it. They realised they don't need to be mud, and can be created in God's image, and it led to them creating an empire on which the sun never set. And I know we will too, once we abandon the îgnorant belief your sort peddle, and understand what we read with our own God given senses.

The divorce will still happen at the appropriate time. Not from war or from legislative or constitutional process but from internal implosion. The country is too divided to be united
That, appropriate time, in my own opinion, would be when we are sufficiently advanced in knowledge and understanding to divorce amicably if we must.

United Kingdom was one country ruled from Westminster. But when they became sufficiently intelligent, they semi-divorced and formed regional parliaments, which some would argue is a precursor to eventual devolution and the formation of separate countries of Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland, in the future.

Nigeria can do the same, and separate amicably, but anyone who thinks they can separate because we are supposedly divided, should have another think.

On the side. My Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun, and Ilobu Osun, are currently killing each other. That's how divided we are. So I guess both towns - nay! Villages - should separate instead of educating hatred and division out of our stupîd ignorant minds? You may not know these 2 towns, but a Lagos analogy would be Yaba and Ojuelegba, that have almost morphed into each other.

Madam please try to read people's posts carefully before jumping in to comment i wonder how you missed the highlighted in blue which answered your question!
Perhaps its you who should read people's post carefully before jumping in to respond.

I am disagreeing with everything you wrote, and I am claiming the initial purpose described for humans as created in Genesis 1 has been corrupted by Genesis 2 when mud humans were created.

If a satan can meddle in the Garden of Eden, it sure could have meddled between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, I'll have it considered by those who may.

Regardless. Considering oneself created from mud, is different from considering oneself created in God's image. And I know which I would prefer since I'd rather not be an ignorant naked slave to anyone or anything, and would hate to be deprived of the nourishment gained from eating fruits of knowledge.

I would never agree to be part of an organisation that encourages the non-use of the God created brain in my head, because I want to be much more than a naked ignorant gardener. And I hope those who read this thread will consider both our views and choose which they would rather be.

I clearly wrote, "cutting grass and cleaning the school ground was like week one duty for we students".

In essence, is what you understood what I wrote, or was I too busy cutting grass and cleaning the school ground as a student for my English to be so misunderstood?
PoliticsRe: Edo State Govt Directs Teachers To Cut Grass & Clean Up School Before Resumption by budaatum: 12:12pm On Sep 06, 2025
In my day, cutting grass and cleaning the school ground was like week one duty for we students. We also did agric, which involved cultivating and planting crops as part of our education.

But I guess these days, such skills are non-essential, and the teachers should do it instead of training their students to cut grass and clean.

The result? Unclean environments in our communities because those living there were never taught to eliminate dirt and diseases.

Imagine Dangote not applying merit to the building of his refinery. He likely wouldn't own nothing better than a pure water factory.

Not awarding projects by merit is what is stymying our development and progress, and the result is wailing and hunger and death.

We will learn when there's half of us left, I hope, or until we completely destroy ourselves.

As for the production of good competent leaders, perhaps we should start with ourselves by ensuring we are sufficiently knowledgeable to know what good leaders are, and learn how to choose them. Because, in this democratic dispensation, we are responsible for choosing the leaders we choose, and should blame no one but ourselves for choosing bad leaders.

Christianity EtcRe: JW 047 Why I Left But Still Can't Forget My Former Religion! by budaatum: 11:19am On Sep 06, 2025
No where in Genesis does it say, "and God created a serpent called satan", so smart people should wonder where that serpent came from. Was there another God creating somewhere else, perhaps?

What we can very clearly read is some humans were created in God's image to rule the earth and subdue and multiply and be blessed, while some humans were created from mud to slave naked in the Garden of Eden.

The images of God were not given any laws, while the mud was told not to eat fruits of knowledge. And the mud was lied to that he would die if he ate fruits of knowledge, and some will convince you he did die, like 800 years after eating the fruit that would surely kill him.

If I want to enslave you, I must use fear, and lies, and ensure you remain ignorant, and somehow, between Genesis 1 and 2, those things crept in, which is very likely considering the editing and rewriting and deletions that occurred to give us the book we read today.

If your God tells you fruits of knowledge will kill you, then I strongly suggest you question that God. And if your church preaches knowledge kills, then they perhaps just need you for tithes.

Jesus would not have been a slave owner, and he promised you the eternal life that the Genesis 3 God "placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life".

Hopefully, you can see the contradictions in the text, and therefore apply your own ability to critically reason, instead of mere believing what satans who want to enslave you want you to believe.

But now Africa’s largest refinery is beginning to disrupt Europe’s Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) markets.
