You don't need any evidence. Open your eyes. Use your mind, you will see for yourself. Why did we marry each other? Why is it normal to marry if not to complement what we lack.

If you never see, too bad.

CareerCursing And Swearing At Workplace by favouritesahaba(op): 10:13pm On Feb 18, 2016
https://www./cursing-swearing-work-richard-a-moran

Gender-neutral pronouns are the rage today in the language world.   Hir, Mx, They are all in the mix of new pronouns to avoid gender discrimination.  It’s enough to make a traditionalist start swearing.  Wait.  Swearing is a hot issue too, especially in the workplace.

The trend toward acceptable use all started with Bob Sutton’s best selling business book, “The No A**hole Rule”.  Everyone knows Bob was not referring to the anatomy but a kind of behavior.  Then there is the best selling, “Go the F**k to Sleep”, by Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortes.  There is little doubt on what the mystery word is and this is a children’s book.  The authors are using the F word like an exclamation point, nothing more.  Then there is the book, “Stop Tweeting Boring Sh#t”.  In this case, the curse is being used to describe content, nothing more.

When the three letters WT and F are strung together, everyone knows just what the messenger is trying to convey.  WTF can be used as both an exclamation point and a question.  The three letters have become ubiquitous and can be found on post-it notes and nearly all office supplies that can be embossed.

The question remains, as the standards for cursing grow more lax, what is appropriate for the workplace?  We all know what words are way off limits and should never ever be used.  And we all know that some people are just not comfortable with profanity flying around.  Make that most people.  A general rule to follow is the TV rule.  If the word can be said on network TV, it’s ok to use at work.  Depending on the rating, what is said in the movies is probably not ok.  What you hear in the pub, or the soccer field or at the comedy club is not ok.

Having said that, there are some workplaces where the entire crew swears like a bunch of drunken sailors every day.  The culture in these places can be akin to a fraternity house.  These are often the same places where those who do not curse feel unwelcome.  Cursing can set the culture in many ways.

If your boss uses curses all the time, that doesn’t give you permission to do the same.  If co-workers are flinging around the words your Mom told you to never use, think of your Mom and what she would say.  In fact, before you enter into so many other behaviors at work, think of what your Mom would say.  It’s a generally good rule.

Most workplaces are somewhere between the fraternity house and the church when it comes to curse words.  In most places an occasional F-Bomb or Sh#t will pop out in celebration or disgust.  That’s the thing about cursing; the words can be used in so many ways and in so many contexts that they can be both efficient and effective.

There are times when no other possible word can capture the situation more than a curse and you are entitled to that extravagance but don’t make it a habit.  Cursing can be a curse on your career.

What do you find acceptable in the workplace?

Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life.

That's life!! Enjoy yours.
If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that.
If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly.
If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. But those who live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely!
All good will come back to you!!!

John the Baptist Tells People About Jesus
19 Here is the ·truth John told [testimony John gave; witness of John; 1:6] when the ·leaders [Jewish leadership; L Jews; C John often uses the term “Jews” to refer to the religious leaders in opposition to Jesus, rather than to the Jewish people generally] in Jerusalem sent ·priests and Levites [C the religious authorities; priests oversaw temple worship; Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted them; 1 Chr. 23:24–32] to ask him, “Who are you?”

20 John ·spoke freely [confessed] and did not ·refuse to answer [deny it]. He said, “I am not the ·Christ [Messiah].”
21 So they asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” [C Elijah, an OT prophet, was expected to come back before the Messiah; 1 Kin. 17—2 Kin. 2; Mal. 4:5–6.]

He answered, “No, I am not.”

Then who is the prophet. IF NOT PROPHET MUHAMMED (SAW)

PoliticsTrump’s Comments On Africans As Lazy Fools, Only Good For Lovemaking Is Racism by favouritesahaba(op): 11:25pm On Oct 30, 2015
Abuja – Sen. Gershom Bassey (PDP Cross River South) on Friday, said the condemnation of Africans and African-Americans by a US presidential aspirant, Donald Trump, was a crude form of racism.
Bassey, who was reacting to media reports credited to the Republican Party man, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that racism should never be mixed with politics, adding that politicians should not be bigots.
“What I can say generally it that it is bigotry, racism and all that, in all forms must be condemned and we shouldn’t use that in politics.
“If we have issues with people we should stick to the issues and leave all these sweeping statements about different races and all that.
“It is the crudest form of racism and I think if Donald Trump did actually say that, he should find a way to retract that statement, otherwise, he will find that at the end of the day, it will come back to haunt him,” he said.
The media reports said that Trump referred to Africans as lazy fools, only good for lovemaking and thuggery.
The report also credited him as saying that if he became U.S president, he would deport all African-Americans to their countries in Africa.
