U shouldn't be on NL since it is all about screens.
Live ur life to its fullest, we are all gonna die someday.
then you don't understand the point of the article.
It's not the screen that shortens the lifespan. It's the lifestyle of the excessive TV watcher.
tv doesn't directly cause mortality it's just a correlation.
I have believed for a long time that people who watch a lot of tv have poorer lifestyles than those who watch very little TV.

for people who do not belong to the aforementioned categories, being called "nigger" is very offensive. It's a racist and/or insulting remark.

it doesn't make a difference! children raised in these advanced countries suffer more trauma than kids raised in polygamous setting in nigeria!
do you have evidence for this fallacious (!) statement you just made?
and how does the statement relate to my point about lack of women's rights in polygamous countries. ex. stoning women to death.

17? hell no - those stats are dodgy!!
40 is the magic number where the decline is noticeable! men in their 20s and 30s are not slouches!
can you provide reliable stats of your own that prove otherwise?
it is pretty common knowledge that testesterone levels peaks during puberty and quickly declines from there (it stays high for men who keep very physically fit as stated before but nature cannot be cheated too long)
I wouldn't like you to embarass yourself in public making "40 is the magic number" arguments about testosterone levels wink

coogar: who is arguing hormones ain't biology? who is more likely to have self control with these rush of hormones? a teenager or a full grown adult? you cannot rule out age and experience in the séxual behaviour of humans!
That's the whole point. Older adults are supposed to have more control not to cheat! that combined with a lowered testesterone level. there should be no excuse.

Nairaland GeneralRe: What Happened To The Women On Nairaland? by cfours: 4:25am On Sep 25, 2012
Yea, there maybe more men on nairaland but there are plenty of women as well.
Something that I do notice is that a lot of people have set expectations on what they think a woman's post should look like vs a man's post.

I am a woman but quite a few posters think i'm male. so do I count? And I know for a fact that I won't be taken as seriously as a male is in some sections. This is something I notice on this website. There is a lot of gender prejudice. I even wonder how people like Kobojunkie can keep posting despite many abuses rained upon her specifically because she's female.

I guess my answer is that women on nairaland are not taken very seriously. And why should I post on a topic if I know that people there won't take me seriously?
For me, the solution was to remove the (f) in front of my name.

Christianity EtcRe: Christian Extremism On The Rise In The U.S by cfours(op):
ekt_bear: Christian extremism is indeed no different from muslim extremism.
That is why the death toll from christian suicide bombers, terrorists, etc is equal to that of their islamic counterparts
you make no sense.
I have muslim friends and family members (although I'm christian myself) and know the difference between a personal religion and politics.

you seem perfectly brainwashed.
I bet you also believe that the US's ravaging wars around the world are meant to promote "democracy"
In fact, the muslims got tired of America destroying their countries since the early 20th century that they decided to fight back. I don't blame them. it's all a political war. othewrise, the so called "muslim extremists" would target actual christians. rather than american atheists. if it were a religious act, they would go after priests and bishops not political ambassadors and govt officials grin


watch this documentary:
Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky. it's available free of charge on youtube (hulu has a much better quality version also free of charge)
this will probably explain to you why there are few "christian suicide bombers"
well because we don't worship God anymore. we worship materialism. even Christmas is now a commercial, secular holiday. Most churches are preaching "prosperity gospel" According to statistics, the average american christian prays less than 5 min a day!! can you even you call these people christians? shocked most will rather spend time in front of the TV than go to church.
The same cannot be said of muslims who take their religion seriously and are willing to die for it. lol

if people take christianity more seriously, it won't be long before we will be fighting holy "crusades" (the christian version of jihad. fought at a time when church and govt was intertwined and the roman catholic Pope was a political authority). or you start seeing the revival of KKK. think about it, most christian fundamentalists in the US are also white supremacists.
This is why extremism is bad in all forms.

But thank God we have a big, secular, government to keep things in check. this is the saving grace of America as a "United" State.
not too sure about the future though. seems like the right wing, tea party people are winning. you think muslims are the only threat? think again. soon it will be blacks and latinos.
Christianity EtcRe: Christian Extremism On The Rise In The U.S by cfours(op): 11:25pm On Sep 22, 2012
besides, who else sees a link between American attack of communism during the "cold war" and today's American attack on Islam in this "war on terror"
most religions are socialist in their origins. They preach values that are antithetical to materialism. Maybe muslims weren't participating in conspicuous consumption as Americans would like. They want to open up the middle east just as they did with China and the former soviet union.
and the muslim countries are resisting the attempts at western domination.

Imagine if Christians today practice what the bible preached. Chrismas has become a commercial holiday rather than a religious one.
The most popular form of Christian doctrine is "prosperity gospel" where pastors are buying jet planes and the latest designer wear. If you wanted to see "real christians," no doubt they will be extremists in their beliefs.
and Religion is a threat to GDP growth. Especially religion that doesn't promote materialism.
That is America's problem with ISLAM

anybody that reads the news knows that the people who bombed the twin towers were trained by Americans. These so called "terrorists' were on CIA payroll for years and years brought to the US and trained here. Even when alarm bells were rung, the govt ignored all of it. They wanted the attacks to happen. There is way more to the story than we know.
Christianity EtcRe: Christian Extremism On The Rise In The U.S by cfours(op): 11:14pm On Sep 22, 2012
ekt_bear: Oh.

Christian extremism = political activism

Yet in some other religions, extremism = rioting, suicide bombing, terrorism, etc.

Gimme Christian extremism any day of the week over that of at least one other religion..
are you drunk or what?
christian extremism is no different from islamic extremism. both are predicated on hate.

secularism (separation of church/mosque and state) is the ideal political stance. This "middle ground" ideology is what christian extremists and tea partiers hate. If you believe that the koran burning sikh temple shooting, okhlahoma building bombing christian extremists are not capable of worse terrorist acts then you must be living under a rock.

Besides burning Korans during church service, many Christians in America are also attacking public education.
They have defeated the constitutional law that separates church from state by winning the right to use govt money to fund their own extremist christian schools.
You want to know what they teach to children in these christian extremist schools?

Here are 14 wacky "facts" kids will learn in extremist christian schools funded with public tax payers money. According to them, the evidence for these "facts" can be found in the bible lipsrsealed


1) Dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth together thousands of years ago.
"Bible-believing Christians cannot accept any evolutionary interpretation. Dinosaurs and humans were definitely on the earth at the same time and may have even lived side by side within the past few thousand years."—Life Science, 3rd ed., Bob Jones University Press, 2007


2)Dragons are real.

3) God used the "Trail of Tears" to bring many native ameicans to Christ
(FYI: Native ameicans were the original americans who were killed in genocide by new comer Europeans who then dominated America. According to the fundamental christians, God used the genocide to convert the few remaining Native americans to christianity lipsrsealed)

4)African needs religion
"Africa is a continent with many needs. It is still in need of the gospel…Only about ten percent of Africans can read and write. In some areas the mission schools have been shut down by Communists who have taken over the government."—Old World History and Geography in Christian Perspective, 3rd ed., A Beka Book, 2004



5.)Slave masters were nice guys
"A few slave holders were undeniably cruel. Examples of slaves beaten to death were not common, neither were they unknown. The majority of slave holders treated their slaves well."—United States History for Christian Schools, 2nd ed., Bob Jones University Press, 1991


6) The KKK was OK:
"[The Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross. Klan targets were bootleggers, wife-beaters, and immoral movies. In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians."—United States History for Christian Schools, 3rd ed., Bob Jones University Press, 2001
(FYI: KKK is a white supremacist organization responsible for hanging and killing black people in the US)


7) The Great Depression wasn't as bad as the liberals made it sound: "Perhaps the best known work of propaganda to come from the Depression was John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath…Other forms of propaganda included rumors of mortgage foreclosures, mass evictions, and hunger riots and exaggerated statistics representing the number of unemployed and homeless people in America."—United States History: Heritage of Freedom, 2nd ed., A Beka Book, 1996

8.) SCOTUS enslaved fetuses: "Ignoring 3,500 years of Judeo-Christian civilization, religion, morality, and law, the Burger Court held that an unborn child was not a living person but rather the "property" of the mother (much like slaves were considered property in the 1857 case of Dred Scott v. Sandford)."—American Government in Christian Perspective, 2nd ed., A Beka Book, 1997
(FYI: SCOTUS- Supreme Court of the United State. In other words, they claim that a baby in the womb of a woman should have the right to vote LOL)

9)The Red Scare isn't over yet: "It is no wonder that Satan hates the family and has hurled his venom against it in the form of Communism."— American Government in Christian Perspective, 2nd ed., A Beka Book, 1997
(FYI: Russia was the Iraq of the 1950s. America always needs an enemy. A few decades ago, the enemy was the communists. today, the enemy is the Muslims. I wonder who the enemy will be in the coming decades)


10) 10. Mark Twain and Emily Dickinson were a couple of hacks: "[Mark] Twain's outlook was both self-centered and ultimately hopeless…Twain's skepticism was clearly not the honest questioning of a seeker of truth but the deliberate defiance of a confessed rebel."—Elements of Literature for Christian Schools, Bob Jones University, 2001

"Several of [Emily Dickinson's] poems show a presumptuous attitude concerning her eternal destiny and a veiled disrespect for authority in general. Throughout her life she viewed salvation as a gamble, not a certainty. Although she did view the Bible as a source of poetic inspiration, she never accepted it as an inerrant guide to life."—Elements of Literature for Christian Schools, Bob Jones University, 2001

(in other words, non-christian authors books should be censored and abolished.)

Of all the men in the world, it had to be the ONE that Seal accused/suspected her of cheating with that she would start dating immediately after her divorce?

haha. so you know that the pics were taken after she left Seal. simple google search confirms that. but you chose to quote a fellow badbelle.
they started dating after they separated. Seal he was just being insecure and didn't want his ex-wife to move on without him. shame on him.

Controversial advertisements decrying "Jihad," or holy war, are due to be posted in the New York City subway system on Monday, Sept. 24. The posting of the advertisements comes at a sensitive time, as Muslims around the world have been protesting an anti-Islamic film.
Read more at http://global.christianpost.com/news/controversial-anti-jihad-savages-ad-to-appear-in-nyc-subways-82027/#wf7AdCVsbOXacmlk.99


The controversial advertisement, which reads "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad," will be posted in 10 subway stations throughout New York City's borough of Manhattan.

Conservative blogger Pamela Geller, executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, is sponsoring the ad campaign.

Geller, who previously headed the campaign to stop the building of the "Ground Zero Mosque" near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, recently won a court order to post the advertisements throughout New York City.

Geller went to a federal judge after the NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority initially rejected the advertisements, saying they had "demeaning" language.

"The judge recognized our intention but found our attempt to be constitutionally deficient," Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Aaron Donovan told NBC News.

"As a result, under our existing ad standards as modified by the injunction, the MTA is required to run the ad," he added.

According to The Associated Press, Geller called NYC's approval of the ads a "victory of the First Amendment," adding that she is not concerned with the possible riots which could spark as a result of her advertisements.

"If it's not a film it's a cartoon, if it's not a cartoon it's a teddy bear," Geller told The Associated Press. "What are you going to do? Are you going to reward Islamic extremism? I will not sacrifice my freedom so as not to offend savages."

Additionally, Geller told NBC News that the ads are not necessarily targeting Muslims.

"There are no Muslims in my ad. There is no Islam in my ad," she said.

Many are taking offense to the advertisement, including Muneer Awad of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, who argues the advertisements "promote bigotry in New York."

"They're not only anti-Muslim, they're offensive to a large number of people, especially people who know the history of the word 'savages,'" Awad told NBC News.

The advertisements were also posted on buses in the city of San Francisco, Calif., in early September. The buses have also come equipped with a disclaimer next to the advertisements, but regardless several street artists have used their classic medium of spray paint to cover the word "Jihad," often times replacing it with the word "racism."

Geller filed suit in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 20 to have the advertisements put up on the capital's transit system buses after transit authority officials deferred her request due to the current violence in the Middle East.

The advertisements come at a delicate time in global affairs, as currently thousands of Muslims are protesting throughout the Middle East, Asia and in some parts of Europe against the film "Innocence of Muslims," which they view as offensive to the prophet Muhammad.

The protests have resulted in the deaths of 30 people in seven countries, according to The Associated Press. The violence includes attacks on U.S. embassies in Egypt and Libya and the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

pro01: Then again I'm sure the s.l.u.t would continue to deny that she cheated - in spite of the pictorial evidence. After all, it was 'only' a massage, so? Big deal! With women, the only time they can admit to cheating/fucking is when you catch them red handed with an actual p€nis inside their va.g.i.na. Everything else can be denied; if you persist with the accusation, they would tag you 'insecure'. Obnoxious, deceitful things.
oh plz. they are separated. how can it be considered cheating. Even seal is out doing his own thing.
your issue with women is getting out of hand.
