Are you talking from experience?

From 'future plan' experience. Like for when I am desperate and before committing suicide.

The plan is, rob banks, spend a million, then sniper.

Unfortunately, I've not been desperate yet, but I'm working on it.

I wonder what the op actually wants. Does op want government to feed op I wonder, or does it bother op that op won't be feeding off bribes and corruption and would have to labour under Obi for op's daily bread?

If the latter, then I guess op has not learnt from bubu and thought bubu was going to feed those he called lazy fuqs, instead of realising that from the sweat of thou brow shall you eat.

Op, please look up the meaning of labour.

Why legit? You want fastest, no?

Just get some friends and hijack some bullion vans, or better still, rob a couple of banks.

The British should accept the Lord Jesus Christ, reject humanism, evolution theory and their LGBT filth whilst there is still time.

Should they bring back slavery and colonisation too, while at it?

What nonsense.

Oooow... Okay, I think I get the point.

I erred in my explanation, in that I was only explaining the monk's situation in the paradigm you provided.

I had no intention to support or interpret Az's ordeal.

Oh, the koan. You lost me, lol.

They are not really meant to be explained. They are mental exercises, like bone chewing is to make teeth stronger.

Drwords:
Bowing doesn't mean weakness, or the laziness of the mind that sizzles out our resolve into unwarranted submission– no.

It also doesn't mean the homework of inquiry wasn't done.

I can't say I quite get what you are saying. The task in question was one of enquiry, and bowing would not in any way have constituted adequate performance of the task.

The individual was hired to show his skills, and bowing, to the best of my knowledge, was not a skill the individual intended to show. Though he may correct me if I'm wrong.

Az, was bowing one of your skills?

Agbegbaorogboye:
You seem to delight in false narratives and false analogies.
The link and your screenshot clearly shows the King does not take the title of Defender of the faiths or any title not recognized in English law for that matter.

The Church of England, in case you are not aware, defends all faiths already.

But i guess we should wait till his coronation to see what title he takes since it's not actually a law issue.

Agbegbaorogboye:
You make it seem as if the British ruled India democratically. The British never gave Indians the benefit of deciding if they want to be ruled by British people.

Did you miss the "joke"? I never said it was democratic!

Good on you.

I'm posting here to negate the negative comments you might receive, and want you to be encouraged.

When I decided to change my moniker the first time, I didn't carry megaphone to announce to the world that it's me. I did that silently. So how did they find out that I had another moniker?

Did you use the same email address, or create it from the same device using the same IP address?

The mods do go school you know!

What's most upsetting about this is that I'm being banned for absolutely no reason!

A namaste person should obey simple rules!

Then you said it again here

Dude, you need to go to back to school. And this time, pay the school fees!

Sir I am saying without any of the mentioned...I mean actually getting pregnant without getting my sperm to insert or any other but just miraculously pregnant..

In the stance that you find one which I hope you do, how will prove this to be right?

I have not found one. Have you?

I've heard of a woman giving births to rabbits though.

budaatum:
You all must have not heard of Mary Toft who gave birth to rabbits!

In September, 1726 Mary Toft began to give birth to rabbits. The local surgeon, John Howard, responded to her family's summons and hurried to Mary's house where, to his amazement, he helped her deliver nine of the animals. They were all born dead, and they were actually rabbit parts rather than whole rabbits. Nevertheless, this didn't lessen the amazing fact that she was giving birth to them.

John Howard excitedly wrote to other men of science around the country, urging them to help him investigate this bizarre phenomenon. Soon two prominent men, sent by the King himself, arrived to investigate: Nathanael St. Andre, surgeon-anatomist to the King, and Samuel Molyneux, secretary to the Prince of Wales. Mary explained to these men that she had recently miscarried, but that during the pregnancy she had intensely craved rabbit meat. After unsuccessfully attempting to chase down several rabbits, she had dreamt that there were rabbits in her lap. The next thing she knew, she was giving birth to rabbits.

In the presence of the doctors, Mary continued to give birth to even more rabbits. The men performed tests to verify the reality of the phenomenon. For instance, they placed a piece of the lung of one of the rabbits in water and noted that it floated. This meant that the rabbit must have breathed air before its death, which could not have happened inside a womb. Amazingly, the doctors ignored this evidence and decided that there was no deception involved—that Mary really was giving birth to the rabbits.

The Rabbit Babies of Mary Toft

They teach about her in UK schools. I have always said that the level of reasoning of some is stuck way back in the past!

Agbegbaorogboye:
It is Defender of Faith he wished to be crowned as, not "Defender of the Faiths" as you so cleverly twisted it. That's a 2008 article by the way and the obstacles are clearly spelt there if you read it beyond the headline.

Here's an article from 2022, if it pleases you more, though, I'm prepared to wait and see at his coronation next year. It sure would be a huge rollback if he does not follow through.

Agbegbaorogboye:
What I'm pointing out is the intolerance other religions easily tout when they are actually the least tolerant. Good luck with a Christian ruling India and starting his rule in Jesus name

India does not have as large a proportion of Christians as UK has of Hindus, to start with, though that's not to imply Rishi was nominated by Hindus. And India is not as tolerant as UK, going by the Muslim-Hindu clashes going on there.

That said, watch the joke below. You'd find Britons once ruled India, and lots of Africa for that matter.

See rubbish! Your words doth judge you. When you were talking nonsense then you did not know that this day would come.

Please know that I stand by every single one of my words in the almost 40k posts I have made on Nairaland.

I consider them all very carefully before I post them, unlike some who just post what they believe and have not bothered to consider.

Freeze007:
Again thank you sir for provoking my thoughts to reason.

In the more than one billion humans on Earth, is it possible some women have children without conjugation?

If by conjugation, you mean sex, as in the temporary union of two bacteria or unicellular organisms for the exchange of genetic material, then technically, yes.

I can after all collect your sperm and use a turkey baster to insert it into a woman and get her pregnant.

But if you mean without your's or anyone else's sperm and my turkey baster, then there is nothing to conjugate.

Freeze007:
If you say so, if a woman claimed to be a virgin yet is pregnant, if she for example told you these what are the checks to ascertain truism?

I can collect your sperm and insert it into a virgin woman without her being disvirgined. But we would have to agree that you and I were involved in getting her pregnant since she can not get pregnant without your sperm and my turkey baster.

I have included an image of my turkey baster in case you don't know what it is.

HenryTimes:
Why putting Vishnu at the bottom?
All the above Gods are or were the manifestation of the supreme God which is the Vishnu.

I did not make the image that put Vishnu at the bottom! Below is a list with Vishnu nearer the top, if that pleases you more.

Hinduism has many gods and [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu[/url] is just one of them.

You lack the ability to comprehend my words because you have not eaten the fruits of knowledge that will enable you to comprehend my words, DT.

Fine, we agree to disagree.. i am going to move on now.

You be luckier than me please. You need it more than I do, it seems.

Freeze007:
Buda pardon me for using the word believe, but can it be justified to be truth that someone or the others you sighted were truly born by immaculate conception?

No, it can not be justified to be truth that someone or the others you sighted were truly born by immaculate conception!

First, they were not sighted. And to "be justified to be truth" requires evidence.

Freeze007:
What is the justifiable evidence to agree to this notion or you don't agree this is possible?

As a certain Jerry Maguire was made to say, "Show me the money", or at least show me evidence of at least one of the billions and billions of births that have ever actually happened being a virgin birth.

Freeze007:
If you prefer, this is a site that contains his recondite wisdom
www.wordcenter.org if you want to hear directly from him

Sorry, but no, I don't particularly want to hear from a person you merely believe, just as I would not listen to Jesus or Buddha if they had wanted me to believe instead of understand in order to question what it is they said or were written to have said.

gypsey:
Fine! You win!! Kanye is an idiot! Jeeeeez!

It's not about winning gypsey.

Please don't let buda pressure you into abandoning your opinion. The world, and Nairaland, is big enough for both.

gypsey:
My point is it is reported that they did. We cannot be sure they did.

I'm certain we can do some research to see if they did or not. I mean, if we find he complained they did, and find a letter of them diding, we might reasonably want to assume they did. No?

gypsey:
It is possible that Adidas did, Kanye also said they never promoted his product. Who do we believe?

You are funny. Are we to just make up what we want to believe, I wonder, and disregard all the available evidence?

gypsey:
Fine, sorry, i assumed you did, you see him as an idiotic billionaire right?

No, gypsey, I do not see him as an "idiotic billionaire", and you thinking so completely misses my very point!

I see his action as that of an idiot, period, and his wealth has nothing to do with it. And making out it does is the very same as him thinking Jews are responsible for whatever he claims was done to him, when it was business people that may or may not have done what he claims was done to him regardless of their race or religion.

gypsey:
Your obssession, my obssesion, what the hell? We are both arguing over Kanye aren't we?. I say Kanye isn't an idiot....

And I say he is an idiot. Or am I not entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to your's?

Do know that he could be penniless and talentless for all I care and I'd have said the same thing, except no one would have heard him nor cared nor have anything to cancel him for or from.

gypsey:
Tell you what? If i agree he is an idiot would that make you happy? co's that would mean i don't have my own opinion.. just like Kanye west is being cancelled for having an opinion on Jews.

Gypsey, please. You are not here to make me happy, and my happiness does not in any way whatsoever depend on you.

As for cancelling anyone, it was you who was not happy with me expressing my own opinion, and I who should complain at you trying to cancel me for stating my opinion, you will find if you were honest. I am not complaining however, please note, because you are very entitled to state your opinion of my opinion since I don't get to control you nor pay for the data with which you express your opinion, and you expressing a dissatisfied opinion about my opinion does not cancel me in any way.

gypsey:
He says he will go death con3 with the Jews! what does he mean by that? Did anyone cared to know? Or just cancel him instead.

Most people know what defcon means, and don't need an explanation, but if you don't know what defcon means, stop being lazy and research it. You'd find that if I say I'm going defcon3 on you it does not mean I want to be your best friend and invite you to dinner.

Freeze007:
My Principal, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu taught me that, a woman give birth, without meeting a man in one of his Everlasting gospels with a theme: A woman can give birth without meeting a man.

And with no evidence you choose to believe what your Principal, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu told you?

Freeze007:
He sighted a case study in the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, do you believe this birth story or mystery surrounding our Lord Jesus Christ?

buda does not believe stories, Freeze. buda seeks to understand them.

There are many lists of people whose birth was supposedly immaculate and of a virgin here on Nairaland. Here is just one of such lists, but I'm certain someone will post others, though I feel you wouldn't believe their births were immaculate.

tolue42:
Lol...no wahala. I don't trust you anyway.

You must please not ever trust me! Always require evidence before you trust anyone or anything.

gypsey:
Apparently isn't fact, it means it is said, just like assumptions in your case, did you confirm personally from his bank or Mr west?

Good question, Did they really cut ties with him? Or do they want you to believe they did?

So, what's your point? Did his bank cut ties with him or not?

Is it your position too that Adidas has not cut ties with him, and it is just "said"?

gypsey:
What is with this your obsessions with believing that Kanye west is a bad guy?,

I do not believe Kanye West is a bad guy and I never said he was a bad guy. Please go back and read my post that started off your obsession instead of assuming what you lack evidence for!

Here's a good take.

gypsey:
Apparently Kanye west's bank has cut ties with him ...

Apparently? I assume his bank did actually cut ties with him, and that your statement above is true.

Now pray tell, why did Kanye West's bank cut ties with him?

Don't they want his billions?

Freeze007:
Buda not everything is can be proven...The Bible says Eve ate an apple but did you see it? That a book recorded it is not enough however some have chosen to believe this story notwithstanding, I too believe it though I was not there is this mathematically proven? Or did you see evidence to this story?

The clue is in "story". Stories are not meant to be believed. They are meant to be understood.

You would not believe what you read in Things Fall Apart, or Harry Potter, but can still learn a lot from the stories.

Freeze007:
Let me also prove that maths can be wrong, Is this true that nothing in the world really amounts to nothing being in the world?0+0=0

Lol! Think please.

If you have zero Naira and I give you zero Naira, how much Naira would you have?

Better still, if you have zero Naira, and you owe me 10 Naira, how much Naira don't you have?

If there was nothing (zero) in the world, and if God added nothing (zero) to the world, what would there be, and where?

Freeze007:
but I want you to know ALL things came into being through POWER- The words of God, which you and I know it cannot be proven, ..

Sorry, but you can not want me to know what you don't know but merely believe.

More accurately is for you to say you want me to believe what you believe. And to that, buda says, no thank you.

Freeze007:
So Sir Buda, for whatever reasons I admire your brilliance but you see till eternity not everything will be able to have evidence to prove truth...Some truths are ABSTRACT like the case of those, I mentioned have given birth by immaculate conception, because, you have the Holy Spirit I am sure the truth regarding this will be made bare.

First. No one on earth has ever given birth through your so called immaculate conception! It's just something you have chosen to believe. If anyone had given birth after immaculately conceiving, there'd be a baby to prove they gave birth, and that baby would not be an abstract baby but an actual crying and pooing physical baby.

Second. I don't think I need to prove to you that those who lack knowledge, (allegorically speaking those who have refused to nourish themselves with the fruits of knowledge), are more likely to die sooner of their ignorance. They definitely would not have sufficient knowledge to be fruitful and rule over or subdue or dominate anything, and those who do eat fruits of knowledge would likely subdue and dominate them. And if those ignorant people were to say "let there be light", the response is more likely to be NEPA, instead of "and there was light".

If you need proof however, please look around you.

Freeze007:
Thank you sir for your wisdom because you made me think before writing!

That is the purpose of the thread. And thank you for using your own heart and soul and mind to consider it, instead of merely believing a single word I have written.

sonmvayina:
God created a being and gave it the ability to choose, to make choices. God comes and says do not eat of that tree. Day in day out man obeys this command.

Sounds like a command, to me, and not a choice. It's like claiming, "Thou shalt not kill", is a choice and not a commandment. If a parent gives a child such a command, one wouldn't call it a choice.

sonmvayina:
I think God must have thought to himself. "This creation is not right yet" he has not made a different choice....so God sent the snake to see if they will understand and make another choice.

Now, that's just evil! If a parent tempted their child this way and then decided to punish said child when said child is tempted and disobeys, one should call social services to take said child from said patent!
