Nairaland General › Re: Do People Have The Right To Criticize Hilda Baci For Cooking Dog Meat? by budaatum: 4:14pm On Jun 04, 2023

Her issue will not be the west, but Nigerians.

Most frown at dog eating because of what dogs eat. Same reason we do not eat pigs that roam around our streets. Both are unhealthy and unfit for human consumption.

The savage, as he emerges from a state of barbarism, gradually loses faith in his idols of wood and stone, and in their place puts a multitude of spirits. As he advances in knowledge, he generally discards the petty spirits, and in their stead believes in one, whom he supposes to be infinite and supreme. Supposing this great spirit to be superior to nature, he offers worship or flattery in exchange for assistance. At last, finding that he obtains no aid from this supposed deity—finding that every search after the absolute must of necessity end in failure—finding that man cannot by any possibility conceive of the conditionless—he begins to investigate the facts by which he is surrounded, and to depend upon himself The people are beginning to think, to reason and to investigate. Slowly, painfully, but surely, the gods are being driven from the earth

Twist it however you want and wish, budaatum, your response to my question obliterated the premise of your thread.

This is like saying humans do not create what you claim they are wired to look. Like before you go looking for petrol, someone did not look for the knowledge to create the vehicle you want to put the petrol inside, and someone did not look for the knowledge to evolve you from walking to riding in the petrol driven vehicle.

I'm not surprised at you though. It's not like you've shown any understanding of how things come to be as they appear to you today, and to be honest I doubt you even read the op.

It means you are hallucinating. It could be symptomatic of pending schizophrenia or might be intoxication.

Do you drink or smoke hemp Is there a source of carbon monoxide (heater or perhaps a faulty air-condition) in your home? Is your room clean and well aired? I'll check those, then start considering your home was built on polluted land like a landfill, but I'd check for hallucinations first, then that your eyes actually work, as in, see what is actually there instead of what your mind thinks it sees.

A test for that last one is wait till you start seeing food or money, then eat the food to see if you are full, or spend the money at your local shop. If these work then what you see is very real.

So what do you need correction for?

Is a healthy adult ill?

raumdeuter:
Same here. Every healthy adult should be working and if you don't work when you can, why should someone else who chose to work be getting taxed to fend for you.

An ill person is not a healthy adult I think, but correct me if I'm wrong. And unless they were ill and never worked, they paid taxes too.

budaatum, your answer has nullified the purpose of your thread.

For you it might have, and since you don't know the purpose of my thread I wouldn't expect otherwise where you are concerned.

People go looking for quite a lot of things they think they are wired for, and most of those things are just what they desire but don't need.

Some will then tell you that you will die if you eat the fruits of trees of knowledge of good and evil, and despite reading how long Adam and Eve lived, most will believe it killed him.

Budaatum, answer my questions first.

Your question is answered, but I guess you don't get my drift.

Humans do not look for things they do not need.

You didn't catch my drift, budaatum.

Does a person who has no need for petrol go out to look for it?

If we weren't wired to hunger, would we look for food?

You would need to state your drift so it can be caught as you want it to be caught I guess, because it might as well be said that humans are wired to breath oxygen and work for their daily bread, oxygen and daily bread being other things apart or as well as petrol that most living beings go looking for. I'd add knowledge too, since most humans who don't seek knowledge die sooner than those who do, very generally speaking.

Only a person who has need for petrol, either for his car or generator, goes out to search for it. We look for what to eat because we hunger. If we weren't wired to hunger for food or water, there would not have been any need to go about looking for any of them.

Do you catch my drift, budaatum?

Another way of seeing this might be that we are not wired to hunger for food or water. We are wired to live (and die, eventually), and living requires food and water, amongst other things, so we go looking for food and water and those other things so that we may live instead of die of hunger for them.

Same wired to live requires that we seek knowledge. People die for lack of fulfilling their hunger for it, as shown below.

Good reading.

That's what I thought. A long time ago, I read a book about the Chinese making gods for their people to worship sometime like 1000 years ago. Also read about Egyptians making gods before Yahweh. And now I'm coming to understand why gods and religion are essential for teaching the basics of communal living (discipline, for instance, and respecting others, and working for one's daily bread). Though that's hard to say about religionised DT who hasn't learnt the Word is in the beginning.

Those who don't learn the basics of living do not tend to live long nor comfortable, just as one who isn't taught to brush one's teeth, as in religionised to worship one's toothbrush, will not have teeth that will last one's entire lifetime.

Here's some trivia. The Greek God of teeth was Cadmus, and the Egyptians' was Sopdu.

Stop talking about nonsense, please. Makes you look ridiculous.

Did you know criminal trump COPIED classified documents? Like he literally copied classified documents thinking the DOJ wouldn't notice? How you still support this criminal is quite outstanding. I guess after they indict him for Espionage (which can carry the death sentence) will you save face and still carry on your debunked stolen election lie like a dullard and a lunatic?

Basilico wants to distract you with his manhole so you won't know what dump did.
