Are you flirting with me? 'cos I don't mind. I'm just embarrassed.

tanimz:
Nahh, yoruba abd creole doesn't go together I still go with Scottish English

In the grand scheme of things, as long as there's a tinge of communication I'll be elated

lil wayne - i feel like dyin'

on the bright side, i can play basketball on the moon.

tanimz:
Hmmm, Did I hear you say love Ok, on a second thought, maybe English with a scottish accent

Hysterical!  The language of love does not stereotype or discriminate.  You may even speak yoruba with a blend of creole if you woud lik.

$43,000 !!!!

who the f*uck do you think i am casey johnson?

f m l

tanimz:
^^^ How old are you

My age is trivial here. If I communicate with you in the language of love would you requite?

I should start fidgeting. I am a quagmire and yet

I am in a quagmire.

This is not pleasant!

pritybevx:
We spite men we know we dont want or like.

I'm certain courteousness exists in your vocabulary.

a lack of attraction is not a staunch excuse for insolence.

The putrid nonsense flowing from their mouths can easily shatter anyone's self-esteem.

Their excuses? "Guy's fault".

tanimz:
I prefer speaking yoruba or pidgin to my friends, but when it comes to adults- I speak English

in what language would you communicate with me?

Then Brett Favre must be an exception to that rule

That old white bloke is blossoming with increasing age.

@H202 and harakiri,
So what the two of you are trying to say is that your mothers and sisters are the most unreliable species on the face of the earth? That when you give them orange they ask for apple then apple pie etc? That they are TOTALLY INSATIABLE? That other men are justified in deciding not to love them 100%? Hmm. . . .interesting. . . .

whose mom? your mom?  if that summarizes your feelings about your mother, then who am i to argue against that dear 

that finger's cracked pretty good


who in the expletive signs up for super-early classes

what a bum

otawa:
since you have grown accustomed to it, how can it be repungnant?

when you accustom to something, it becomes part of you, your life.

Olodo rabata they're mutually exclusive.
You can grow accustomed to repulsive incidents while remaining conscious of their intrinsic repugnancy.

harakiri:
The reason is very simple :

Women are the most unreliable species walking the face of the earth!

Women are fond of whining about "no good men around" or " no loving men anymore" or "no Mr Perfects". They cry about no right men being in the world anymore and when they finally find him, he's either too loving or not good enough or they want something else.They are never satisfied.They say they want oranges, you give them oranges and they prefer apples. . .you give them apples and they wonder why it isn't apple pie. . .they have apple pie and they wished it was pizza. . .you give them pizza and they wonder why you keep giving them all they ask for.TOTALLY INSATIABLE!

They always complain that men aren't loving enough but the moment a man shows that real love and opens up to her, she thinks he's a weak sissy.Totally pathetic. This is why men go out of their way NOT to love a woman 100%. Even when they do love her, they try as much as possible NOT to show it and for those who outrightly don't love their women, well. . .do a background check and you'll discover a few heart breaking sluts at the background.

Nuff said!

Hmm dude I agree with you one hundred percent.

Sak Pase, nap boule folks

Yea we're here and we command respect irrespective of your reservations against us!

Okay? Good!

It's routine winter-flu.  Don't worry, weed'll kill it.

@Mama-gee, LOOOOOOOOLOLOL

ol boy epon ti fo niyen o

Yup, it's the frank truth. Their protruding bellies are quite repugnant.
Unfortunately, we've grown accustomed to them.

koolchicco:

I do understand that natural disasters are a point of life, but I did not consider the natural disaster in and of itself in stating that there may be a link between the prevalence of voodoo and Haiti's problem.

Yes, perhaps there's exists a connection we're unaware of - only God knows.  My argument is that it should be presented as such, and not as a factual absolute statement like "voodooism is responsible" -  I'm not putting  the onus of that comment on you by the way.

I looked at Haiti's history of extreme economic turmoil, the string of Hurricanes and flooding that devastated Haiti last year, and this current 7.0 earthquake in purporting that there may be a link.

That's why I believe it's more palpable to refrain from the previous unproven conjectures. Subjugation by foreign invaders could also have been responsible for their economic problems.

Concededly, other economic factors like corruption and mismanagement are equally compelling reasons for impeding economic advancement, but that by no means precludes the possibility that the prevalence of voodoo as an equally compelling reason for the impedance of economic progress.  For example, if you go to a witch doctor to pray for prosperity, it is not uncommon for the witch doctor to ask you to bring your child or parent as a sacrifice. Since I am not God and do not know the reason why this disaster struck Haiti, either of the foregoing reasons could be responsible for stunting Haiti's economic growth and the earthquake, but only God knows why Haiti has suffered from this severe natural disasters, which we can conclusively say are not attributable to other economic factors like corruption but attributable to the unknown. 

Exactly!  This I can accede to.  It's easy to be presumptive, but better to err on the side of caution when commenting on sensitive, serious issues.

Like I said earlier, I cannot adduce any concrete reason why Haiti is deserving of this disaster because I am not God, but I do know that God has once sent a flood to destroy the earth, and only He knows why a disaster of this magnitude as well as the floods happened to Haiti.

I wouldn't say they are "deserving of disaster" per-se, but I agree with all else you have said. 

Just like yourself, I am a christian. 
Thanks for the interesting conversation 

Where can I get it

I need to broaden my grammar.

Princek12:
You are something else. Why are you twisting my logic and using syllogism in twisting my argument? Did I say nothing good can arise out of all nations, or did I say nothing good can arise out of Haiti? Of course not. And by the way who told you voodoo is pervasive in all nations? Voodoo is openly practiced by too many people in Haiti, and we all know that (at least if you believe in God) that voodoo espouses hatred and evil. So what do you expect from a country in which a catholic priest can preach by day and be a voodoo priest by night, openly.

Prince, prince, prince please try to keep up. I am not a wuru-wuru doctor, and I have no interest in twisting your words for my gainful amusement. Proper analogies are valid in argument.

Point of correction, I wrote "evil is pervasive in all nations," not "voodoo is pervasive in all nations" .

You insinuated emphatically that nothing good can come out of voodoo, and I buttressed your point by informing you that nothing good comes out of evil either. Drawing on my previous comment once again, that'sextraneous information that fails to establish why Haiti is deserving of this disaster.

Furthermore, prince, we both know that deficient minds will latch on to inept pontifications like this one made by Pat Roberson, because they don't have the perspective to understand that natural disasters are an unfortunate part of life. Piffles like Pat Robertson's are schadenfreudes, which exist to divide and infuriate people.

Princek12:
It can be explained from the Bible. When God destroyed the earth with a flood, when it rained for forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7:12. Also, even if our God is a merciful God, He is also a consuming fire. Hebrews 12: 28-29. Also, the Bible says for the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Hebrews 12:29.

From this submission, we can conclude that we have all made a "pact with the devil" and should be anxiously awaiting the wrath of a fiery God, right?

You have said it that an extreme christian may have proclivity for evil, but that evil will find no support from the Bible.

I disagree.  They support their proclivity for evil using our very same Bible.  You can't preclude their interpretation of the bible just because it doesn't fit your acceptable standards of what christianity curtails.  Those same people are as diabolic as the voodooists you despise, since they somehow derive various means of rationalizing and justifying their morbid, bible-based extremism.  Yet, even though thes epeople exist in abundance, we're not all stereotyping christianity as a religion whose purpose is egregious.

People who are practice voodoo, on the other hand, are by their very nature intrinsically evil, for the practice of voodoo does not espouse love, peace, but evil, and the voodoo sanctions even the most atrocious and evil act. Again, the practice of voodoo espouses and sanctions hate, murder, and any other heinous acts that you can imagine.

Again, I won't subscribe to this tenet until you qualify it with some quality evidence.  I am not repudiating the evident prevalence of evil-doers among voodooists, but that should not lead to the uninformed conclusion that voodooism was engendered to serve evil.  There are those who manipulate those practices to sate their propensity for wrongdoing, like I stated earlier.

If you look at communities that have people who primarily practice voodoo, you will notice that they never really progress and live under the most backward conditions.

Please refer to my earlier riposte in response to this inference you've made.  I don't want to embark on an extraneous circular argument.

Kindly explain how voodooism is responsible for the impedance of the progress of those communities?  Corruption, underdevlopment, and misappropriation of funds could be equally responsible for the abjection and rampancy of poverty in those locations.  Why should we believe Voodoo is responsible and not those other veritable sources?

It would be better to desist from making those inconclusive averments,  at least until you bridge the gap between voodooism, poverty and evil.

Christians and people of other faith, on the other hand, even if they have extremists who may have the proclivity for evil, those people are more or less the exception rather than the rule, and the religion will not sanction such evil acts

This is irrelevant.  Be consistent! There are people who live in predominantly christian communities where hate is pervasive, so is murder, robbery and other heinous crimes imaginable, in addition to them sanctioning their annihilation of defenseless lives under the name of God with their religious wars.  Under an argument similar to the one you spewed earlier, those nations should also be living in trepidation because God will allegedly soon descend on those lands and consume them with fire to rid them from evil.

In fact, I want to thank you for introducing that new dimension to this argument.

Let's see which hypocrites will support homosexuality and under a similar argument repudiate bestiality.

At least bawo isn't a half-baked small-minded liberal like others. He supports both faggotry and bestiality.

@Kenezi, thank you o


I've been trying desperately to press it into their heads that comparable does not mean equal

Bawo and his fellow crusasders of homosexaulity find it easier to trivialize analogies than refute them
