PoliticsRe: What Type Of Punishment Do You Think Killers Of Uniport Students Deserve by ektbear: 5:39am On Oct 09, 2012
I've seen other jungle justice videos before. My question is, why is it this one that is causing outrage? Not the tons of others in the past?

People are shouting, "no to barbarism", "innocent unless proven guilty", etc.

But in the past I've heard you all say, "this is African justice", "we don't need to copy everything Western", "police system is corrupt", etc.

So, which one u dey?

If there had been no video released, none of you guys would have been outraged like this.

Even the OP is a two-faced hypocrite, proposing a painful, violent death for the Aluu villagers.

If you have a problem with jungle justice, how can you propose jungle justice again as the solution huh

Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ektbear: 6:35pm On Oct 08, 2012
I don't think it matters too much, this stuff. God knows your heart. If you believe in the Trinity and it turns out to be wrong or slightly off, this isn't going to be a deal breaker.
Christianity EtcRe: Dilemma : Is GOD a Trinity by ektbear: 6:08pm On Oct 08, 2012
Eze Promoe: The Holy Trinity which is God the Father (Almighty), God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God) are one just as you (human being) have your spirit, soul and body. PERIOD!
That is the way I understand it too.

They are all aspects of one being. Anyway, for me it isn't the Jesus or the Father stuff that concerns me....that mostly makes sense to me. If me and my dad started a corporation, I might end up being the public face of the company, while he works on more behinds the scenes stuff.

It is this Holy Ghost who makes me feel kind of weird...I don't really understand him.

Now, what I want to know is, why do pretty girls do this? Go out with their 3-4 girlfriends way less attractive than them?

Is the point of this to use these unattractive girlfriends as a shield? grin

Or to feel/look sexier in comparison?

Oya pretty girls, let us hear your excuses for why you do this.
RomanceRe: Why Do Girls Turn Nasty When In Groups? by ektbear: 8:22am On Oct 08, 2012
To be honest, girls can be quite friendly when in groups.

However, a group will turn NASTY when it is a pretty girl surrounded by her unattractive friends.

However, if it is like 4 or 5 pretty girls together? Ain't nothing nicer than that.

I think you have the advantage over me in the 5'9-5'11+ chick market. But for girls 5'4 to 5'8 or so, they have no real reason to prefer a guy your height (6'6) to mine (6'1).

In fact I know 5'4 and 5'5 girls prefer my height to yours.

However, I seem to strongly prefer taller girls

It isn't that serious. Freedom of speech is important. The correct response is to debunk his assertions, not to shout him down or silence him in another way.

Besides...such acts would only draw further attention to his book, thus increasing his sales and profit.

We should instead debunk, then ignore. Like a troll, part of his objective is to seek attention. And if we deny him this, then his book won't do well on the NYTimes Bestsellers list cheesy grin

HealthCzech Man Becomes The First Person In The World To Live With No Heart Or Pulse by ektbear(op): 4:34am On Oct 08, 2012
A 37-year-old man from Czech Republic recently became the first man to live without a heart for six months.

Jakub Halik, a former firefighter lived without a pulse for six months after undergoing pioneering surgery in April when doctors removed his heart and replaced it with mechanical pumps, according to The Sun.


On April 3rd, Halik became the second man to undergo the revolutionary procedure after the first patient, Craig Lewis, died a few weeks after surgery in Texas in 2011. The father-of-one had been in peak physical condition until he collapsed and doctors found an aggressive tumor growing inside his heart.

Doctors had told Halik that he wouldn't survive a heart transplant because he wouldn't be able to take the necessary drugs prescribed afterwards because of his cancer. Halik, who is from Neratovice in the Czech Republic, was left with no other choice but to undergo a risky operation to remove his heart completely and replaced with a fake one until he could recover from the cancer.

"It was hard for me but I didn't have any other chance at all. It was acknowledged that with the tumor I can survive for about one year and I decided to fight and do it this way," Halik told reporters at a press conference 148 days after his operation, according to Reuters.
Surgeons at the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague spent eight hours operating on Halik. They had implanted two 20cm pumps with propellers into Halik's chest.

Each propeller had the ability to spin at 10,000 rotations per minute to mimic the pumping action of the organ. The pumps were designed to perform the separate actions of the left and right side of the human heart. One of the devices pumps blood to the lungs while the other sends oxygenated blood back to the circulatory system.

However, the only thing they cannot replicate is the pulse. "I don't even realize it, because the functions of the body are the same, only my heart is not beating and I have no pulse anymore," Halik said. "This is the only difference but otherwise I am functioning like a healthy man at present."
The pumps were powered by batteries that last between eight and 12 hours before they need to be recharged. After the surgery Halik's heart had deteriorated rapidly and tests showed that he had internal bleeding and kidney failure. His muscles had also started to weaken and he lost a lot of a lot of weight.

Despite his rapidly deteriorating body, Halik was able to make a remarkable recovery and is "doing extremely well" says Head Surgeon Jan Pirk. Halik, who is currently on the waiting list for a heart transplant, said his life had been transformed after the surgery. "It was a massive relief when I was told the surgery had gone well and everything was okay," Halik said. "I'm used to it all now. I don't even realize I don't have a heart anymore."
"I feel great though. It's amazing to think I'm functioning like a completely healthy man when I don't even have a heart," he added.
