@ post some do, some don't. either way you might wanna look into making your own food. |
@ post I myself, would prefer an open marriage to the sneaking around that most people do anyway. and besides, I'm not the type to be nailed to one person, seems rather limiting and inhumane in a way, I agree that people have been taught to react too harshly to a partner's outside sexual escapades, and such reactions cause a lot of unneeded problems in relationships. Since sex to me does not equal true "love" or commitment, then why should it bother me? As for the guy who mentioned it: some couples love taping each other with other people. It's called voyeurism/exhibitionism. |
Throughout history the Bible has been bent to say anything that those who are in authority want it to say. |
Ahh how cute! How did you deal with it?Lol, cute? Uhm, ok, Well, I have to admit; my first thought when everyone shied away from or laughed at my sister was "Assholes!, I can't believe [/i]this shit!, " But then I actually talked to them, some of their answers were so, [i]pathetic, Bringing up possible native doctors and pastors we could see to "cure" her, accusing jealous enemies, wondering if she would rip off all her clothes in the heat of "madness", and I just, couldn't be angry anymore, it was so sad. Not only could they not accept her as a person, but they couldn't accept that she would always be autistic, it wasn't a matter of arguing or fingerpointing, unless something happens in the medical world soon (which I doubt, since they are still debating the cause of autism) then this is how she will live and die and all we have to do as her family is love her and make sure she lives her life to the fullest. But even that seems to be hard for them, but I know they love her somewhat, and the closer we let them get to her and try to get to know her, the more they try to understand. That is something I hope Africans never let go: family unity. I hate to see it ever compromised. |
My sister was diagnosed with Autism around the age of 4 and i was diagnosed with ADD around the age of 12. I have always noticed that people, especially Nigerians, do not and are not willing to put aside their little knowledge on this subject in order to really understand and accept it, but what used to be anger in me has now turned to pity |
