According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those
of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's
probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby
cots were covered with brightly colored lead-based
paint, which was promptly chewed and licked.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or
latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play
with pans. When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets,
just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spooky do key's' on
our wheels.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts
or airbags and riding in the passenger seat was a
treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not
from a bottle and it tasted the same.

We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy
juice with sugar in it, but we were never overweight
because we were always outside playing. We shared one
drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and
no-one actually died from this.

We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps
and then went top speed
down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
After running into
stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the
problem.

We would leave home in the morning and could play all
day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No
one was able to reach us and no one minded.

We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video
games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape
movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no
personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms.

We had friends - we went outside and found them. We
played elastics and rounder, and sometimes that ball
really hurt! We fell out of trees, got cut, and broke
bones but there were no lawsuits.

We played knock-the-door-run-away and were actually
afraid of the owners catching us. We walked to
friends' homes. We also, believe it or not, WALKED to
school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us
to school, which was just round the corner.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. We rode
bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the
hood. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke
a law was unheard of, they actually sided with the
law.

This generation has produced some of the best
risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation
and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility and we learned how to deal with it
all.

And you're one of them.

Congratulations!

Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow
as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated
our lives, for "our own good". For those of you who
aren't old enough, thought you might like to read
about us. This, my friends, is surprisingly
frightening, and it might put a smile on your
face:

The majority of students in universities today were
born in 1986, The Uptown Girl they know is by
West life not Billy Joel. They have never heard of Rick
Astley, Bananarama, Neneh Cherry or Belinda Carlisle.

For them, there has always been only one Germany and
one Vietnam. AIDS has existed since they were born.
CD's have existed since they were born. Michael
Jackson has always been white.

To them John Travolta has always been round in shape
and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god
of dance.

They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission
Impossible are films from recent years. They can never
imagine life before computers. They'll never have
pretended to be the A-Team, the Dukes of Hazard or the
Famous Five. They can't believe a black and white
television ever existed.

And they will never understand how we could leave the
house without a mobile
phone.

Now let's check if we're getting old,

1.You understand what was written above and you smile.

2.You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon,
after a night out.
3.Your friends are getting married/already married
4.You are always surprised to see small children
playing comfortably with computers.
5.When you see children with mobile phones, you shake
your head.
6.Having read this mail, you are thinking of
forwarding it to some
other friends because you think they will like it
too,

Yes, you're Getting old!!

tpia:
in what way is the pencil test identical to the One drop rule?

Did i ever say the pencil test is identical to the one drop rule? You were the one who brought up the pencil test thing, dude.

Also, seems you didn't see this part of your article:

In the absence of any centralized method, this and other subjective tests were used in various places across South Africa as part of the Population Registration Act of 1950

The pencil test was one method, out of many, that the Apartheid regime used. Go and read up on Apartheid. I have. And i am 100% certain that the regime did practise a method identical with the one drop rule. The Nazis did too.

South Africa already practiced a policy of segregating people by skin color and admixture. Their mixed race people are called coloreds.

coloreds is not a derogatory term in SA. The government decided that it makes more sense to identify a certain group of people more specifically (since the business of government must go on) since they are mixed. Neither White nor Black. An acceptable word was coined to distinguish them. That is perfectly OK. Rational.

and like I pointed out before: you claim either your paternal or maternal hometown. Most times paternal. Explain the logic behind that. I also used the Fulani, Calabar and northern Nigerians example, which no one has responded to yet. many of them are also mixed- should they no longer be called black.

You already said it yourself, they are mixed

In what way did Obama say he doesnt see himself as black?

In the way you are saying it.

The 100% negro comment came in because of the extreme right wing views some of you are holding on this matter.

extreme mai nene?

If the whites want to maintain their Caucasian lineage, why should it be regarded as a crime?

My point exactly.

Chrisbenogor:
What is true Christianity then?
Why do you Believe in God?
What is the nature of the God you believe in?

1. True Christianity to me, is Christ-likeness. It means doing what Christ would do, living by His teaching. He never started "Organised Religion". He is not the "founder" of Christianity. He never advocated "sects". The Early Church wasn't in sects or "denominations". It's just not biblical or Christ-like. Like i've been saying all these sects do not have the same (or even SIMILAR doctrines). God is not the author of confusion. That's not Christ-like (or Christian). I say "sects" and "Christianity" are contradiction in terms because the Church should be the BODY (not bodies) of Christ.

When Christ talked about 2 or 3 people being gathered in His name, he didn't mean sects. The Early Church Modus Operandi proves that. I still believe the Early Church's MO is the true Christianity. And I do fellowship with like minds and we practise that. I don't have to belong to any "sect" to be Christ-like.

2. I believe in God because He is real to me. I have been able to arrive at a spiritual consciousness that has personalised God for me. I know you are an atheist and may think i'm not making any sense. But that's my answer to your question.

3. The God i believe in is a God of love and mercy. That's His nature.

I hope i answered your questions even if they are not the kind of answers you want to hear. So what is the atheist viewpoint on your questions?

Nah, not you, Lysaa. You prayed for him there. _{na the other sinners i mean}

@Gab and Mykali

Na wa o. which kain atutupoyoyos una know?

Chrisbenogor:
@carmelily
I approximated do the math yourself then, what is the probability that one sect of christianity is right. Tell me your answer.

If you've been reading my posts, you'd know my answer is 0. 0 probability. That's the sad, stark truth.

Sects and Christianity are a contradiction in terms. Just don't go together. But then I mean true Christianity, not the kind(s) we've been talking about here.

Where's paulipopo now? When's convocation na?

[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=126421.msg3037119#msg3037119 date=1225819674]Been together 9 years. Not married.

He spends decades in the bathroom while I grow old in the hallway, waxing an offkey album. At whoever's apartment,his or mine!He has this bathroom fetish and wont let anyone in there with him when he's waxing bathroomy religious.

He never loses his cool. And I mean,never. Believe me, that is not as cool as it sounds.It's frigging ANNOYING,is what it is. When he's mad he's sort of still and silent (incidentally,he's terribly sexy when he's angry). It pisses me off that I can't keep my cool when I'm mad and he can.

He has never heard of the invention called a wine glass or cup,and swigs stuff straight from the can,bottle,jar or carton. OMG, so irritating!IRRITATING OOOOOOO!!!!!

He pretends he's an angel when we're with our families. He has this perfected and patented Peace Be Unto All Men smirk I swear I can kill him for.

I watch his sports to be supportive. But he likes me to watch the thing with him from beginning to end! No way am I sitting there for 90 minutes while grown men chase a leather ball about,rain or frigging shine. And it's when I do decide to sit there that they add some stupid 30-minute extra time again![/quote]OMG! your man is quite something! I like the "peace unto all men" thingy. So funny.
