Good talk boss, I see no racism, I feel no racism. I recently got a job with student visa as it is allowed and the boss said I have to work months before I could get a raise.. Yesterday, he called me to the side that I learn fast and I'm doing a good job.. He gave me a raise like that.. just three weeks in
I know some people enjoying the country and I know someone always complaining of white this and that

Just because you don't see it or feel it does not mean it doesn't exist. You may have it good, other may be having it bad.
Those complaining also have a point.
I have seen racism in nearly every shape or form. You just never know when it will knock on your door.

You sound like someone who lacks foresight.

First of all, who is "God"?
You do realize that the concept of "God" was named by humans right?
Just like people name everything around us, the Christians chose to name their own supreme deity as "God". There are thousands of other supreme deities in different parts of the world.

So I ask again, who is "God"?

lol. talking rubbish as usual.
So if I used Olorun instead of God, does that change the discuss? What exactly is your point mr foresight?

The Bible. The Bible. The Bible.

How do you think the Bible came about? The Bible you hold so dearly, how did it came about? It fell from above into the hands/laps of primitive men? Is that so? Or was it the compilations of the imaginations of primitive men who wrote down their hallucinations about things they didn't understand about their time and surrounding? And pass it off as the "word of God"?

Or that the Bible is a plagiarised work, copiously copied from earlier pagan texts, customs and traditions of ancient civilizations?

A cursory study of the Bible will leave a sane mind horrified and discombobulated with what's written there in.




And. For. The. Umpteenth. Time, Science. Is. Not. Trying. To. Disprove. God!

lol. It does not have the capacity to do so which was precisely my point.

And oh you think you are not primitive?

donjazet:
Your first paragraph seemed very reasonable but you went downhill from there pretty fast.

First of all, Science is not a person, or a political organisation or a belief system.
Science simply means acquisition of knowledge through study and practice.
The study of nature and how it's component bodies interact.
Simply put science means knowledge. That's why it has thousands of branches, because so far as you are studying and gaining knowledge of any natural component, you are a scientist.

You are attempting to combine science and religion and that is just so preposterous.

Religion is a BELIEF SYSTEM that claims to have the answers already and set fixed moral standards and etiquette for living and most importantly tells you never to doubt the knowledge being presented while science is simply acquiring further knowledge and challenging the premises of religion that tells you to have faith and never doubt what you are being told.

What makes this soo dangerous is that there are a lot of different religions with different contradictory beliefs and standards.

You as a Christian adherent believe that the entire universe was created in 6 days. A Buddhist monk who has different Gods believe that the origin God Brahma came from the navel of a snake, An igbo traditional worshipper believes that man fell from the sky and so many more different varieties of origin story.

WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR OWN VERSION OF CREATION STORY IS BETTER THAN OTHERS.

Already scientists have punched a lot of holes in the Christian creation story.
God created the sun and the moon on the fourth day but created day and night on the second day how

Because of the limitations of the knowledge of those who wrote the bible, they didn't know of the numerous other planets out there, so they used the concept of time on earth for the creation story. A day on earth is about 14 days on another planet, so meaning that for other planets, it took God half a day to create the whole universe abi? You can see the shallowness of the Christian creation story and there are much more.

Meanwhile science presents a more logical THEORY. That of evolution.
It shows that the earth and man underwent great tremendous changes over billions of years to form and be what we are now. Discovered fossils and carbon dating are supporting this theory.

If you ask me I know which is more reasonable and logical between the two.
And moreso the beauty of science is that the current belief is subject to change and challenge, unlike that of religion that will punish you for even thinking of challenging it's story.

Science will continue to unravel the current mysteries of the universe but you must open your mind to learning and seeking new knowledge not confining yourself to an anachronistic mindset.

You just proved my point.
Science only observes (you say unravel) through experiments etc what was/is already created and since it deals mainly in physical, it cannot and does not have the scope to disprove God.

Science is mainly in the business of observing, experimenting, monitoring and discovery, it does not necessarily "create". It mainly discovers what already exists.

Scientists though interpret these discoveries, evidence and make them law and in some cases, with a truck load of assumptions.

Science does not have the scope to disprove God.

The Bible on the other hand reveals the nature, character and work of God. He is infinite, incomparable and unchanging with all power and authority.

Science can't prove or disprove love, shame, guilt or any other feeling for that matter. Why? because that's a metaphysical part of your life. You cannot touch your feelings and as your metaphysical state affects your physical self is the reason why thinking in a certain way can lead to depression or elation.

There is a Higher Being, who is greater than you and I. A Supreme Being who exists beyond our concept of time and space, who is able to create at will. Colossians 1:16 says "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him."

We as human beings have answers to a lot of things, but do we have answers to all things? The answer is No.

I do not claim to know anything, but I do know that there is God. You only need to experience him. As John 4:24 says, God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

Roland17:
Brandt is the reason Goetze is leaving at the end of the season.

Ah I see. Thanks for pointing that out.

Lemme guess, is he leaving for the "Bay" area by any chance?

Oooohkay! We are set for the midweek showdown.

And this Brandt guy looks like a correct player, floating around as a No 10. Nice.

I've always thought that Arsenal thread was the battle ground. When did this move to Chelsea thread?
You people are not smiling at all.

Lislekelsey:
Please I want to know what opportunities are open to me. I studied English Language Education but I don't want to teach. The fear of not getting anything else I'm suited for over there keeps holding me back.


Thank you

You will have to be more elaborate. What are your goals, Objectives, targets?

Chelsea NL thread. It is well.

A40:
I'm just glad live football is back. I couldn't care less if they played on an Autobahn

Lol. Watching my boys play in my backyard was more fun. Lol.
But yeah, football is back even if not fully.
Dortmund all the way.

A40:
I am actually enjoying this style. Just like UFC where you dey hear all the gbas gbos.

Happy reason prevailed and this season was not cancelled. It would have been a terrible move

Nah bro, we are talking about a stadium. Just didn't feel really serious watching like that. That said, Dortmund looked like they never went on break.

Bnimz:
The problem is fatigue/Concentration.. As we have established, long drives are kinda default due to landmass... the higher the speed, the smaller the mistake has to be to result in a fatal accident... And you might not be the one driving nonsense, someone else could drive some crap and at 150km/hr you might not be able to react fast enough....


There was a night I was so tired driving along a highway that I dozed off for like a second or two... Even at 110, in that short time, I crossed from left lane, past middle lane, and was in the right lane all without knowing... This was 110... If I was doing 140 under the same conditions I'd have slammed into the trees in the middle of the highway before I could react.

And if someone else was behind me, he would have had a hard time reacting to such an unexpected maneuver if he was going too fast..

Very valid and acceptable points. Could never argue against them but then you get to go 110km/h in patches and NT allows 130km. 120km/h could actually be the sweet spot.

Empty stadium. Just be like training session. You can hear everything going on in the stadium.

bellong:
No, not a straight drive. It was 16 hours and 14 hours (including getting to final destination) it was about 30 hours altogether.

I did Sydney to Adelaide in 17 hours one way too. Driving on the freeway is fun. Only be careful of the ferals especially the Roos.

Driving on the freeway is fine, roads are good and sometimes I wonder, why limit the speed so much? 110km max, I think only NT allows 130km.
Like why?

ideamaster:
Yeah. I don't speed because I have better ideas on how to spend my money. Lol.

But even with that, it's still good to know where the speed cameras are, both mobile and fixed, average speed cameras, the police, road works, broken down vehicles etc.

And yeah, Bellong is right, a 10 hour interstate drive is short. Driving from Cairns to Brisbane within the same state is 18+ hours.

During that journey, I was already midpoint between my origin and destination. But then, I break up my journeys into max 10 hours driving per day.

Fatigue is real and for me 8 to 10 hours per day is just okay.

10 straight hours of driving? Nah, that ain't short. Would you Lagos to Abuja is a "short" drive?
Re cameras - Engage your cruise control and off you go.

Unlimited22:
Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday bros. Was gonna send you a signed Willian's shirt but...

bellong:
10 - 13 hours drive is ok... It is not 28 hours

I did Adelaide to Perth which is 28 hours. Interesting drive.

Ballina to GC, now that's a very short interstate drive but 10-13 drive ain't short at all.
But man, you did 28 hrs from Adelaide to Perth? That means you didn't stop at all? That's just not realistic.

Bimffo:
So you all are going to watch till they swap Pjanic for Jorginho.

Fucking Pjanic of all people.

What are you people doing here.

Ibime, Nihilist, Dayo Guapo, FBS, Chelseafan, BMW.

All of una dey here and they want to make that stupid deal under your noses..

No let (always wanna say lateef ) nateevs catch you oo. lol

bellong:
It is a short interstate drive.

Short ke? from Brisbane to Sydney? Say wot? best case scenario 10 hours drive.

ideamaster:
It's been a while but I guess I was heading from Brisbane to Sydney.

Waze instead of Google Maps in Nsw. What do you think?

With Gmaps, that's some 13 hours drive or so without over speeding. You will be alright.

Bundesliga starts this weekend. Nice, time for some football.

chaiks:
@toochi, kudos for d good job you are doing here . Please a school in St Petersburg recently announced the application for a tuition waiver scholarship. Kindly update on what the chances of small part time are like while learning the language. Thanks

If I may ask, what's the name of the school?

Carlos Sainz to race for Ferrari from 2021 as Daniel Ricciardo heads for McLaren

There you have it

cally3D:
Yeah thanks it was helpful. but specifically I intend to pursue a masters degree in health sciences. Does the student visa allow one to study and work at the same time

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500#When
In Australia
What you can do when you have this visa
participate in an eligible course of study in Australia
travel in and out of Australia
work up to 40 hours every 2-week period once your course starts

There is something about gospel music and praising God. It takes you a different place and gives you inner peace. It's amazing, its beautiful.

Ibime:
South Korean league is starting Friday

Na to just pick one Korean team to support for the foreseeable future go make sense. Juwon Bluewings abi wetin be their name.

The Belorussian league never stopped.

cally3D:

Understanding and speaking the language is a MUST. It just makes your life easier especially in getting a job.
Though again, why Russia?
