his point was, he's not paying no more taxes![/quote]lol
I wouldn't be so sure about that.  He might get taxed with fire by Satan while he rots in flaming hell.

It's not the spam bot it's gotta be the mod at work.

I can't bother to type at length any further because I don't enjoy depleting energy on entries that will get deleted for no justifiable reason.

This is why I don't bother writing long-winded posts on NL. It gets zapped.

It's worth a try

Things have REALLY, [emphasis on really] REALLY fallen apart.
Now I understand better what **our time**(obscure) is all about.
(I'm guessing it means "I now understand why/how things have degenerated to this level" )

We no longer hear "our husband has gone mad," it is now our ladies that have lost their "succulent juice" (??) . Our ladies (not all ladies) have lost their morals for reasons that I don't understand.
(I don't get this part)

Their generation is doomed!!!

Tatase:
Well it has the phrase "succulent juices" in it which means its obviously well. . . a juicy comment. . . Therefore, I'm now really curious and interested and really do want to understand what the poster was trying to say. So honestly, if anyone is inclined to attempt a translation, I would be grateful.

Aside from responder's cryptic entry, what is your own take on being married to a virgin male? Are you one of the supporters of the codswallop that virgin men are incapable performers?

No, I did not understand o. Was too busy dodging the bullets. My dear life.

Corruption is rampant in all parts of the world. It's not exclusively a Nigerian thing.

That said, please clarify what you mean by suicide becomes part of a culture if it shapes people's lives, behavior, etc?

If I'm interpreting you correctly, then I don't see how someone deliberately develops some preconceived notion of living towards a suicidal end.

Onlytruth:
After going through comments from many people about this war, it has become abundantly clear to me that the biggest enemy of Biafrans and Ndigbo was actually Yoruba. Awolowo wasn't really alone in his plans to annihilate Easterners. It was really his tribesmen all along. If that is not true, how come we have characters like babapupa, and the other idiot (what's his name again), akamugberu or akamubrain and many more like them mocking a planned extermination of Easterners with full glee and fan fare? And no one from their tribe is repulsed by the hate they attract to themselves?!

In all of these I really start to see that the Hausa or northerners were not really THE ENEMY. They may be extremists, but their hate is not deep like that of Yoruba. That leads me to the main question: If eastern leaders of the 60s knew whom the enemy was, would Biafra have failed the way it did? If the war was between the East and West, is there a question at all about who would prevail? If such situation comes up again (and I know it can still come up in Nigeria anytime), is it not better if we Ndigbo fight only our real enemy -the Yoruba?
These questions are for today's Igbo leaders. There is a real danger in continuing the way we do. Agwo no na akirika! Sorry to my fellow Igbo who are cosmopolitan, but cosmopolitanism is actually idiocy in Nigeria. Open your eyes!

As we integrate ourselves into the politics of Nigeria, we Ndigbo must never forget what happened in Biafra and who actually won. The Hausa think they won, but in fact the Yoruba won. The Hausa thought they were fighting for themselves but they were in fact fighting for the Yoruba who are today boasting! When men conclude wars, woman boast!

Like I said in one my posts, let us forget the idea of secession, because only then are we assured of gaining the upper hand one day. It is inevitable. It will happen. In fact we must be ready to fight anyone trying to secede. Our innocent women and children starved to death must not have died in vain.

Completely Sstupid talk.

My balls itch

My eyeballs that is.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=391145.msg5541457#msg5541457 date=1266530580]u know in some part of hawaii (i think that's the country), they have a very high rate of suicide and it's basically a cultural thing where a kid grows up exposed to the idea and tries it out. just for the sake of it.

also, suicide rate rises nationally immediately after a high profile one is featured in popular media.
so basically it's also very contagious. a depressed person is more likely to commit suicide if he knows someone who did etc.


so i'll say be careful about your surrounding at all times.[/quote]i'm sure you didn't study these things, so tell me the above are just your opinions of the matter.

suicide is not a "culture"

Tatase:
Yeah of course there are "associate reasons" for either party to get on their knees, but I meant in an apology setting. I guess it's a cultural thing, maybe some tribes are more about the kneeling down than others.

To me kneeling down in an apology sense is lowering yourself as a supplicant, like I'm at your mercy. And I suppose if someone did something truly awful (I'm talking awful like murder or really just doing something grievous to someone else) and they know it, and feel compelled to throw themselves at the mercy of the one they wronged, fine.

But when two people are supposed to be united as one, like lovers, then there's no place for who has the upper hand or who's the supplicant. An honest, "I'm sorry" should be enough. That's just my opinion. The only way to get your guy/girl should listen should not be with you at their feet. And if the only way you're going to forgive is if the person is at your feet, then that's a problem. To me. In my opinion.

Well of course I never restricted the discussion to an apologetic setting since the poster didn't. However, I can see how that could possibly benefit the apologizer giving the apology. It can be used deceptively and can also be used genuinely like I said. It all depends on one's motive. An honest "I'm sorry" can also be demonstrated and accompanied by getting on one's knee. Once again, it's symbolic and not compulsory. I don't think the one who's wronged would "demand" it as the only proper apology. Even if you did get on your knees it does not guarantee that the one who's wronged would immediately forgive and forget. Apologies in whatever ways, shapes or forms they come in do not fix wrongs.

it does not mean you will carry it out though

the few that do are deviants of norms

I believe it's natural to contemplate

We all contemplate . . . on things both pleasant and unplesant.  good and bad. wicked and . . .

there are times you may think o i'm so mad i wanna rip his head off for what he's done to me

Depends on the kinds of pits you fall into at stages in your life

Not only that but I've got too much to live for

Would have tried but the bone of suicidal courage in me is permanently absent

Hahaha suicide. I seldom contemplate suicide but many times I have

Stare deep into my pupils and tell me you see my soul hurting for you

if love is so blind open your eyes and see

if love is so blind why is what we see so important a determining factor of who we love

The term Civil War just doesn't make sense to me.

Tatase:
What is "too faithful?" I thought one was either faithful or unfaithful.

@ topic,

I don't think being "too faithful" should be harmful to a real relationship. If one partner feels choked by the other's faithfulness, then that partner isn't ready to be in a relationship anyway (unless both partners agreed on an open relationship, and now one wants to back out of the agreement).

tell me about it.

I wonder what the best thing before sliced bread was.

come and kiss me. let me feel the warmth of your lips.

Tatase:
So in essence, it's more just for show. . . Like a gesture to get the other person to shut up and just take you back?

False, don't formulate hasty conclusions. Depending on the scenario and intent behind your reason for getting on your knees, it could also be symbolic for respect or whatever else. And I stress that showing respect in that manner does not make you inferior. Customarily, men get on their knees when proposing to their women more times than not - something characteristic like that.

As an aside though, getting on your knees does not automatically grant you a free pass when you screw up. It doesn't guarantee that your SO will forgive your transgressions; whatever they are.

phew ibon

wow what a handsomely coined coin.

wow this is the most handsome coin i've seen wow

Tatase:
Ok but what does kneeling do that saying "I'm sorry" and meaning it does not do? Is it better to kneel for the symbolic cultural apology without really being repentant just because it's expected, than to apologize on your feet from your heart?

it's not compulsory. It does have an added appeasing effect on people (man or woman) and can send them on ego trips. you can use it to your advantage, but I don't think anyone has necessitated it here.

i like the things they carried.

let's make passionate love on the beach .

ChikesGirl:
I dont think being faithful can "choke" someone however being too clingy can,

feeling smothered? the line is blurry. what's considered smothering to one person might not be enough for another, so that's relative.
