Yep, mystique is awesome!

Did u know that in the comics, she is Nightcrawler's mother?

Did u also know that in the coics she is the leader of the brotherhood, NOT magneto. Magnus acted alone at first, then later on became leader of the acolytes, before finally becoming the all-round bad guy.

Also, Mystique later on became one of the X-men! True! She and storm fell in love with the same guy (Forge, not in the movies) and guess who got him in the end! lololololol

See me I read too many comics, meh. If not for work i for download them sef

Anyway I will still kick her butt with my Jedi powers, lololol

Bros, you be bad guy ooooooo


y u go expose dem like dat!

Anyway how long have they been up? how did u find em? never knew such a place existed!

if you are racist, you have no right to complain about racism done unto you.

As such, I dont need to convince you of anything. You are racist, I am not. different points of view- we are both entitled to. I simply will not listen to you when you complain.

For the record, I have not only experienced racial prejudice, I was born into a prejudiced society and grew up there. My father eventually relocated from the UK to Nigeria almost squarely on grounds of racism and the 'glass ceiling effect'. We lived in an almost exclusively white environment, considering the nature of my fathers profession at that time, and frequently came in contact with less-privileged and envious white families. As such, if I can choose not to be racist despite all this, it should tell you something.

cassidy

i am a medical student in the US and yes its very possible for two AS people to get married, i am sure that most o fu know that u have only a 1/4 chance of having a child iwht SICKle cell while a 50% chance of having children with the AS trait and another 1/4 chanc eof having children with AA, now evcen before people started getting tested alot of AS couples have been getting married and yet still majority of their kids are AS. u can even have the fetus tested at an extremely early stage in pregnancy, for whether or not the child is AS, AA or SS. so u have the choice of keeping the child or not. and if u do your reserach u realize the the mortality expectancy of SS indiiduals is about 35 now, which is a plus, so cassidy, u can hav ethe choice whetehr the keep the child or not, once u leran of its faith. and so far that is what technology can offer us. and yes do pray that u willl be in the range of 75% chance of having a non SS child. oh by the way that test is kind of expensive so if u are planning to have a million children good luck on that, but if u want to have 2 like me then its quite affordable. Good luck dear

If you are a medical student and you are giving this kind of advice, I am so sorry for your patients.

egbon:
I'm a living testimony of an AS genotype married to another. To God's glory we have two beautiful girls today who are both AS's. However, I'll like to stress the point that it takes an intimate relationship with God and having faith in Him to enter into such relationships.

On the other hand, a very close friend of mine who is an AS got married to another AS. Well as things turned out it took the wife several years to conceive finally when she did, she gave birth to an SS, but to make matters worse the baby later on died. My brothers and sisters this affected their marital union they had to part ways after many years of marriage.

My advice is to please, pray and seek God's face before you enter into any relationship.

In other words "I ran across the road blindfolded like a bleeding idiot and didnt get hit, so you can do it too!". Jesus Christ. Egbon, I am sorry, I dont know you, and you may be a great person with many talents, perhaps a wonderful guy to be with or to know, but if you knew you were both AS before you married I think you deserve to be flogged.




AS + AS should never be even contemplated. It is child murder.

dude!

u forgot to add that

SONY is cutting shipments in HALF as well! only 400,000 consoles to be sold in the us, and only 100,000 for Japan!

wooooooot?!?!?!!!

that explains the ridiculous price.

Damollar:
Why?

   Because he won't be a WUSSY. He won't be
CLINGY. He won't be ANNOYING. He won't act
INSECURE all the time.

Correct!!!!

When he does find an exceptional woman and he
chooses to "settle down" and have a deep,
authentic relationship with a special girl, he'll
be the kind of guy that every woman alive wants to
be with.

   He'll know the game well enough to STAY
INTERESTING, and he'll also know the game well
enough to NOT HAVE TO PLAY IT if he doesn't need
to.

BIG, MOTHAF$CKIN LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont be fooled, ladies. Once a playa always a playa. This is just a daft fantasy that women who want it ALL invent for themselves,  and if the playa is skilful enough, she may even grow old and die in her ignorance.

it is simple- marry a man that is desirable to women AND YOU SHALL SHARE HIM WITH OTHERS

the only difference is if u find out or not.

I am so glad you have both made the right choice.

It may seem easy for those of us who are not in your shoes to give advice so coldly, but believe me it is neccesary.

By whatever chance exists in this world, too many of the important people in my life have been sicklers. I have had the ignominous ill fortune of living through too many deaths and it is so different to look at my best buddy right now and know what his fate is. It is even more difficult to relate properly with his parents, knowing that ignorance is their only defence, or his brothers (none are SS, he is the eldest, there is this constant undertone of 'we are preparing for when you leave us')

It may seem hard, but believe me, it is the lesser of two evils. The alternative is just so much worse.

Just think, if more people make this decision you have made, no-one will have to make this decision ever again.

Thanks for being a great human being.

cods shez gat boobz

since others are so polite and politically correct I shall not mince words.

Don't do it. NEVER try it. PERISH the thought. FOR ALL ETERNITY.

If you get married you are a murderous b@$tard and deserve to die painfully by torture that lasts 20 years and ends in a miserable and painful death, because that is what you wish on your child.

As an AS you probably have sickler relatives. If you are so heartless as to inflict the same suffering upon another, your own child nonetheless then you deserve 2,000 years of pain.

In short don't do it

Even if you pray or whatever and dont have any SS children, you are just as guilty as anyone who has commited attempted murder. The fact that the knife didnt sink in is no excuse.


The assumption that there is only one chosen mate for a man in the whole world is baseless and stupid. The FACT that AS+AS is VERY likely to bring about a sickler and ALMOST CERTAIN to bring about others with you own present dilemma, which you AGREE is undesirable, is UNDISPUTED. fact vs assumption, do the math.

leave each other NOW and never allow your spunk near her eggs or you are surely a deserved denizen of HELL

Ask yourself- what came first the chicken ot the egg?

A player doesn't become a player by being nasty or undesirable to women

Before a dude becomes hot enough to juggle multiple babes upon either arm, he must have morre than just one quality that makes him attractive to women.

Obviously these make them more desirable to said women!

The problem is that most women want to eat their cake and have it, they want it ALL. So they invent these fake fictitious m&b scenarios when the *best man* suddenly decides to stick to one woman for no particular reason at all ('love' is a favourite explanation-that-explains-nothing)

so face it:

1) The playas are better men, because if they weren't, they wouldnt be playas!

2) Unfortunately the playas are unfaithful bastards because if they weren't, they wouldnt be playas afterall!

Faithful men are faithful cos no other woman will ja them face. Jealous men, too!

If u want a faithful man, be satisfied with a #'leser' man.


(disclaimer: 'lesser' and 'better' are used purely in the context of 'what women want from men'. Many of the *best* men in history were notoriously incompetent when it comes to dealing with women, and the ratio of playas in 1st class to 3rd class shows that the vast majority of 'better' men are complete dullards useless to society!)

I would love to be able to touch the force, like a Jedi from Star Wars.

I have telekinesis and telepathy, I can read minds, control minds.
I can move super fast- I can take serious damage and remain unhurt by healing myself.
I can heal others that are hurt, and I have incredible reflexes and can perhaps feel things that are about to happen or that are happening elsewhere.
I can lift, pull, push, crush things with but a thought and gesture.
I can jump many thousand feet and land upright without breaking a sweat.

If I turn to the dark side, I will gain even more power and become nearly invincible.
I will be able to block others from seeing the future, I will be able to control others' dreams.
I will be able to strike my enemies with lightning that leaps from my fingers.
I will remain alive when burned or electrocuted, though I may lose the ability to heal myself and others, I will be able to ressurect dead people and stop people from dying (eventually, unless palpy was lying).
I will have even faster reflexes than those who follow the light side.
My telekinesis will be so strong I can strangle people many miles away.
The only price I will have to pay for this extra power is the loss of my soul and uncontrollable rage,  but aint that cool!!!

And as a bonus, I will have a lightsaber (actually, the ability to create one. Only Jedi can create lightsabers). How kool is that? 

em, dude.

he can't


he's in naija, remember? m$ dont give downloads to pira windows no mo'!

he should search google instead

"nna pogi, na u tok turruuue mai brodda. "

"khei!!! it is take it pho di yolluba feefulle nefa sabi heengreesh atooolll!"

Meeeeen.

That power is so strong that i'm sure the command will be "back,back, up, up, 2 yoga flames, tiger knee twice, all 3 punch buttons for 3 seconds, hold block and release when life is flashing " and no-one on earth will ever use it as a result! Unless you use the cheat mode that makes it just "up and punch" to do the move, thus making everyone abandon the game cos of all the scrubs cheating and pressing up and punch all day!

lololololololololol!

seriously,

i tink its child bearing. every *babe* i know who got married blew up when pregnant. Some went back down., others didnt. even the ones that were fat already

'cos the character wasnt born in naija

Yup

you right nigga. we's all animated iron eja-dadi mackierel.

*takes another puff of deh hookah*

peeeeeace and leuuuuuurve in teh yuuuniverse. Jah for ever, mon! jah make deh ganja, jah make deh hevin, is no long fo babylon, ma bruddas, jeeeesas is deh waaaayyyyyyyyyyyy *puff*

modern = contemporary

civilisation = an advanced level of development in society that is marked by complex social and political organization, and material, scientific, and artistic progress (MSN encarta)

That should be sufficient.

Like my late great-grand mother?

Religious texts such as the Bible and the quran were translated into the yoruba language. At a timeit was considered part of religious education to learn to read these texts in Yoruba.

This does qualify as literacy from a semantic point of view. I accept that point and agree to make an exception, but I will also like to point out that this approaches irrelevancy if the term 'illiterate' is not taken as a pejorative in the context used.

By Illiterate I mean unable to function in modern civilisation, due to a lack of education. A person whose education is purely religious in nature can therefore be considered illiterate in this case.

Can you honestly point to any of those people that you know and claim that they do not fall into the same category as an illiterate under practically every contemporary method of clasification?

hey grafikdon!

how do i get your movie 'chika'?

Speaking yoruba does not make you tribalistic.

Speaking one's native language in situations that do *not* expressly call for it, to the exclusion of non-native speakers of the language, that are nonetheless citizens of the same Nation, is a major contributor to tribalistic sentiment. You cannot argue with that.

Yoruba is unwritten because its notation is an invention of the modern age- and contributes nothing to the wealth of the culture, most of which exists in the form of oral traditions. Even worse is the fact that it is difficult to teach someone written Yoruba without teaching them English first, since the written form of the language is used next to nowhere outside of academia and modern literature.

Many modern languages that sue the same notation as English transitioned over the years from one writing style to another. Yoruba jumped straight from Oral traditions to a copy of the english alphabet, in the modern age.

Oral traditions are absolute rubbish in terms of accuracy. Thats why we can spend ages arguing with our Edo brethren about who went into the jungle to bring civilisation to who. Oral traditions my foot. More like a pack of god damned lies.

all monkeys run!

de predator is here!

wrawr!!!!!

@bobbyjaf- you smokin too much ganja mon?! only way you can assume the chaotic mass of craziness kown as reality to be 'ordered' and 'designed'.

My point exactly: Tell me *how* I am shortchanging myself.

I am not trying to convert anyone to my cause, I am *asking* others to *please* explain the relevance of this *without* resorting to a sentimental argument. A *practical* reason. Something of *tangible* benefit.

So far, nothing but people taking offense. Perhaps I shouldnt bother anymore, seeing as my point has already been proven.

Yes, I meant illiterate. Since Yoruba is NOT a written language (whatever S.A.Crowther says), a person who speaks Yoruba alone is illiterate. If a person can speak English, I speak to him in English. Not because the language stinks (far from it, in fact I am fond of it, but in a sentimental way. Afterall it *is* my language) but because TRIBALISM stinks, and I hate tribalism with every fibre of my being.

Sorry if I only mentioned negative aspects of the culture. However the extreme nature of those negative aspects serve only to show how the culture has refused to evolve, unlike the others you allude to.

There is a way of life we have in Nigeria that is unique to us. However, we refuse to call it our culture, instead clinging to these relics of a past age, taking the aspects we like and pretending the other aspects don't exist, and claiming that our day-to-day life is not our 'culture'. If we spend more than 90% of our life living a faceless, nameless 'culture' that is neither our own nor anothyer man's own, aren't we guilty of an even worse Identity sin than those who choose to reject a bunch of primitive notions that we are not even sure are the true equivalent of the culture we are so determined not to lose?


I do not advocate losing our Identity.

Far from it.

I advocate that we GAIN an identity, and stop pretending we live in the 19th century.

Speaking a tribal language that has no international recognition and close to zero literary presence is hardly what I would call cultural Identity.

If Nigeria were to adopt an indegenous language, I would learn and speak it proudly. For now, the only indigenous language we have is English, so I speak *that* proudly and endeavour to learn it properly.

I am Nigerian first and Yoruba second. (or third, if you count my dual citizenship)

No, it is not only in Nigeria that our own culture is not appreciated by our own people.

Yes, I do know what an Identity is, and one based on a language that has no real modern benefits, and an outdated value system that denigrates women and is based on religions that endorse human sacrifice is definitely at variance with the current Nigerian Identity.

I also do understand that singlemindedly holding on to such supposed 'culture' at the expense of common sense is a root cause of the tribalism that is holding our country back indefinitely.

Nigeria is not the only country that is composed of a multi-ethnic population. Sample each of the succesful examples of such a country and tell me one where each ethnic group holds on to an ancient form of its 'culture' at the expense of the de-facto 'National' Identity.

I speak Yoruba strictly to communicate with the illiterate. If you can speak English I will not speak to you in Yoruba. If you spak to me in Yoruba I will respond in English. I have nothing to hide from my Igbo and midwestern brothers and sisters that may be nearby.

Finally, I *am* making sense. I may however be saying something that you do not agree with. Talking nonsense and spreading falsehood are two different things. If you believe what I have to say is false, prove me wrong with intelligent discourse rather than uleashing sentimental outbursts that serve to reinforce my point.

Tell them o.

People. At the end the difference is minimal. Will u work ata place that kills u just for an extra .1 million as opposed to a condusive working environment? choose based on the job itself not the package.

Yep, kill bill's 2d sequence was done by mamoru oshii's bunch. Not sure if his name was on it, though.

be careful, though- production IG isn't the kind of company you want to talk about when talking about the merits oif 2d vs 3d. Theyve been criticised for diluting the purity of their recent releases with cel-shaded 3d, and superimposed 2d. Them and Gonzo.

They are doing less for the reputation of 2d, because their work looks 'held back' by substandard, cheap 2d work.

The sequence in killbill was remarkable because it was a return to pure 2d with computer assistance to make it more exciting.

If you want to see great 2d animation in modern anime, try steamboy (crap story), miyazaki's stuff (perfect) and Gonzo's series Basikisk: koga ninpo chou
