More self control; i.e. to masturbate less

SEFAGO:
Ok, you have to draw a distinct line between social conditioning/behavior towards homosexuality and the ethical state of this type of sexuality. Homosexuality is not really accepted anywhere in the world- but that in no way validates it as being morally/ethically wrong, neither does it give credence to any argument that it affects society

Really? Funny enough I am actually friends with 3 lesbians. They all have perfect behavioral traits, are outgoing, funny and accomplished women. You are not making any logical argument.

A significant number of scientists argued that black people were inferior to whites. Its called pseudoscience. When you ask for proof, that is when they start floundering like sardines

In my psychiatry class, we had approximately 10 lesbians who came to speak with us on homosexuality, and they all had perfect childhood. No history of violation, no history of abuse, nothing!

People make stuff up and try to shove their stupidity down the throat of others. Very unfortunate that in this age and time, people like Isale gan2 are allowed to use the internet. She is supposed to be banished to 'igbo irunmole' or the '7th town of ghosts' to learn how to interact and respect people different from her.

isale_gan2:
You're reaching.  The bolded is outrageous, and you don't really believe it.  If there is "nothing wrong" with homosexuality, why do most of the famous homosexuals in countries where it is decriminalized (unlike our own where we are too backward to know what is good for us) stay in the closet and swear up and down how much they love the babes?  Why is it that if you meet 3 lesbians in the USA, at least 2 of them had unresolved childhood sexual trauma?  Why is it that homosexuality up until recently was considered a psychological disorder by medical practioners in most of the "developed world"?

Also, the post shows conclusive evidence that Safego and Sagamite are not the same poster.

I'm done with this.  I didn't plan on ringing in my new year discussing deviant behavior.    Happy New Year to you all, even the gay ones.   

Stop pulling stuff from your, prolly stinking, arse

Provide evidence!

yeah considering the fact that you have no idea about archaeological knowledge.btw,why dont we have chimpanzees on NL since you claimed they

also have a brain like man ?

Very very stupit question

What are we doing here again?

FYI, NL is a social medium. And without language there is no socialization.

Again, you dont have to have a brain to get on NL. What is required of you is the ability to communicate with others.

i don't need to google anything to educate you.was i not the one that mentioned chimpanzee and ape being the closest to man ?

the only thing that make a man different from the other primate/mammal is the brain and not language.so stop fooling yourself.

why do you think the early men were just wanderers ? do you think it's because they can communicate in different languages ?

no but because they have a brain smaller than that of homo sapien

Well it is not brain size that sets us apart from animals. And we dont have bigger brains than all the animals. The brain houses more than just intellect. The elephant has a larger brain (and in all likeliness much better memory) but it doesn't have the frontal lobe we do. The frontal lobe of our brain is proportionally larger than any other animal on this planet. It allows for complex language, and abstract thought. Which is really the only difference. Other animals have culture (such as apes, which have a social hierarchy) , use tools (apes, some birds), build massive cities (again, proportionally speaking. Think of ants.) etc.

We have the best frontal lobe, but again that doesn't really set us apart, it just means we are very special in one area. Humans have the incredible ability of abstract thought complemented by their very complex language.

Young Chimp Beats College Students in Cognitive Test

Ever feel like you have the memory of a monkey? Well, as it turns out—you’re probably not even that smart. Even the Japanese researchers were surprised when they pitted young chimps against human adults and the chimps won. Young chimps, it appears, have better cognitive functioning when it comes to short-term memory that college educated humans.

Case Study: Closing Gaps
National stories of schools turning tide against achievement gaps

That challenges the belief that "humans are superior to chimpanzees in all cognitive functions," said researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa of Kyoto University.

"No one can imagine that chimpanzees — young chimpanzees at the age of 5 — have a better performance in a memory task than humans.”

Matsuzawa is a pioneer in studying the mental abilities of chimps, but mentioned that even he was surprised. He and colleague Sana Inoue report the results in Tuesday's issue of the journal Current Biology.

One test included three 5-year-old chimps that were taught the order of Arabic numerals 1 through 9, and a dozen human volunteers. Nine numbers were then displayed on a computer screen. When they touched the first number, the other eight turned into white squares. The test was to touch all these squares in the order of the numbers that used to be there.

Results showed that the chimps, while similarly accurate as the humans, were faster.

One chimp, Ayumu, appeared to be particularly gifted. Researchers included him and nine college students in a second test. This time, five numbers flashed on the screen only briefly before they were replaced by white squares. The challenge, again, was to touch these squares in the proper sequence. When the numbers were displayed for about seven-tenths of a second, Ayumu and the college students were both able to do this correctly about 80 percent of the time, which indicates that Ayumu has as good of a short-term memory as human college students.

However, when the numbers were displayed for just four-tenths or two-tenths of a second, the chimp was clearly the champ. The briefer of those times is too short to allow a look around the screen, and in those tests Ayumu still scored about 80 percent, while humans plunged to 40 percent. That indicates Ayumu was better at taking in the whole pattern of numbers at a glance, the researchers concluded.

"It's amazing what this chimpanzee is able to do," said Elizabeth Lonsdorf, director of the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.

Lonsdorf did not participate in the study, but has participated in other studies focused on the mental abilities of apes. She was impressed with Ayumu's performance when the numbers flashed only briefly on the screen.

"I just watched the video of that and I can tell you right now, there's no way I can do it," she said. "It's unbelievable. I can't even get the first two (squares)."

Also, the difference in skill couldn’t be attributed to “practice makes perfect”. Even after six months of test specific training, three students failed to match the ability of three young chimps, Matsuzawa noted. If anything, a college age human has the clear advantage in terms of having already spent many years engaging in every day activities, which frequently require humans to organize numbers into sequential order. For example, every time you balance your checkbook, locate a building by its number, or peruse shopping isles in the grocery store, to name just a few, humans are putting numbers in order. Chimps, on the other hand, don’t appear to have as much practice or inclination to number everything.

But Matsuzawa does believe there are two factors that might have given the chimps an edge. He, along with other scientists, believes that human ancestors gave up certain skills over evolutionary time to make room in the brain for language abilities.

The other factor is the youth of Ayumu and his peers. The memory for images that's needed for the tests resembles a skill found in children, but which lessens with age. In fact, the young chimps also performed older chimps. So According to Lonsdorf, the next logical step would be to pit Ayumu against some real competition on these tests: children.

so it's language that made man superior to a chimpanzee or ape ?

you are sick

YEs

I stand to be corrected

Language drives civilization and without civilization, man is no better than ape.

Think about it. it is not your brain and definitely not your looks.

~Bluetooth:
but that is what the critics of darwins principle knocked him off with.


man was once the centre of discourse in early civilization because he had a mind to reason on the purpose of life which other animals do not have.

therefore,darwin was wrong with his principle.

How more stupit can you get?

So you think Chimps  do not have  a mind to reason with?

~Bluetooth:
what makes you diiferent from an ape ?

The fact that I have a language with which I communicate with. Remove language, and i am no better than the dirtiest rat in Ajegunle.

~Bluetooth:
i asked you a simple question and you are here telling me about sango  

what yoruba town,village or state allow homosexuality ?

Are you that stupit?

Do you not know that Sango was a former Alaafin, and by extension, yes, Homosexuality has always being part of the history of Oyo, which makes it part of the Yoruba culture from as early as we can tell.

~Bluetooth:
man is more than an animal even the early man has a brain cavity wider than that of a present day ape.

darwin's theory has been subjected to criticism because man is a spiritual being unlike other animals.

What is your point?

Are you trying to hinge your argument on the superiority of man to animal on brain size?

~Bluetooth:
good things are introduced by the west but we learn the bad ones by ourselves abi ?  

anyways,why is the call coming from the west in the contemporary period ?

Back to your senseless question

Do you know what Sango calls his followers?

He calls them 'Iyawo mi" and most of them appear as drag queens and transvestite; Hence, we can  categorize  male followers of Sango being refereed to as 'iyawo mi' as the earliest recorded evidence of homosexuality in Yoruba.

~Bluetooth:
If it's about darwin,abeg free me .i have no respect  for him at all.

There is a dumb-down version of Origin of species written by Richard Dawkins:" The blind watchmaker"

A very good read as well.

~Bluetooth:
Most views against homosexuality come from religion,culture,moral,independent view but preservation of the earth itself dates back to the

natural order of things.Marriage has always been defined between ''a man and a woman'' until of recent when ''two consenting adults' was introduced to

re-define a natural phenomenon simply because some people felt attracted to their fellow sex.why did God not create Adam and another man ?

And who told you God created Adams and Eve?

You need to read the Origin of species for better understanding of how we came about.

eku_bear:
Homosexuality doesn't affect the life of heterosexuals in any real way.

If anything, more gay dudes = less competition for beautiful women! 

Roger that!

BTW, how are those Ekiti chicks?

Please no finish dem all ok? Leave some for moi to chop when I land next year

~Bluetooth:
culturally in Africa,homosexuality is a taboo and that cultural norms must be respected.it has nothing to do with civilization.

What part of Yoruba culture prohibits homosexuality

Obviously, you dont know more about Yoruba culture than Prof. Wande Abimbola, and I have read and digested his opinion on homosexuality

You are talking from your arse, with no evidence whatsoever

BTW, how did you come up with the idea that the planet has a right to self preservation?

Abagworo:
The military should take over immediately or we might be in war.

I think Obasanjo should come back

Only A Yoruba man can do it, not this idiotic Ph.D fisherman from the jungle

isale_gan2:
No.  I was asking the other guy though, since he generalized all Nigerians.  Did I offend you in some way?  Calm down.

You should calm down

It is non of your business what he does in private.

If you like Nyanshing men, good for you. That does not give you the right to know who and whom someone else prefers to Nyansh

~Bluetooth:
my stand on homosexuality is more of a moral approach than religion.Do all atheists support homosexuality ?

the planet itself has a right to self-preservation.

And you ensure the planet's right to self-preservation by denying them their inalienable right to choose who they want to live/be with?

isale_gan2:
Are you a homosexual?

Are you not?

Is this how Ciroma and his ilks want to intimidate GEJ?



hmmmmmmm

John Cambell says


The ruling People’s Democratic Party is the forum in which most of Nigeria’s political horse trading is done.
The PDP, however, is fragile. The party has little internal discipline, no political platform or principles, and it
generates little popular enthusiasm. When former president Olusegun Obasanjo ran roughshod over party
rules in late 2006 to ensure that the party nominated his handpicked choices for president and vice president
(Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, respectively), there was only minimal protest from party members.
However, with Obasanjo no longer dominating the party, and Jonathan’s potential candidacy in 2011

upsetting the regional power-sharing cycle, the possibility now exists that no stabilizing elite consensus will
emerge from within the PDP.

So?

We will find a way out

Let no Racist Mofo tell us how we should lead ourselves

Why dont people read the article before demonizing it  - Wikileaks has confirmed that the Oyinbo's know Nigeria more than we do.  We need to stop behaving like an ostrich and deal with issues objectively.

If it doesnt breakup

You and your family can come down and break it up

Remember to bring John campbell along for the show as well

So Hope '93 was not a genuine political contest

Interesting!

To kill Blazay, and marry his present Jamo wife!
