What?


Edit and apologize?  What for

I mean what I say, i say what I mean. i dont mince words.

Kaa soro, Kaa b'abe ni iyi omoluabi.

I am firm in my undertakings, I dont edit and so far I am not convinced that an apology is warranted.

Anyway, have a wonderful and enjoyable Ju'muah

PS: Being of the female gender, going by culture and religion, it is you who should be apologizing to me.

I am not apologizing to you or any one.

I'm not going to Jumah.  You just jump to conclusions all the time.  Anyway, I'm removing my info. 

And you are going too far.  You do whatever you want.  By the time you change your mind, I mignt not be so forgiving.

What do I have to apologize for?  If I offended you, I removed it  You attack me relentlessly.  Read the last exchange in this very thread.  Unwarranted attacks.  All the time.  Half a dozen times at least you've done that.  Find one time I lost my temper.  Do whatever you want. 

But don't bother to reply if you're going to throw more insults my way.

You're going too far, if not already there. Edit and apologize.  And, maa lati mo nkan to n ro lo ri e.  Wo profile mi to ba fe s'alaye. Seriously.  Bye for now.

Not sure what this means. Yes, I love the song. You better handle the other matter. You know what I'm talking about. Enough said. You've got it all wrong, as usual!

You've lost your sense of humour. Maybe you never had it. You better apologize to me!

. . .

Hahaha - This actually got me laughing real hard,  It's me that is Baby~Fart abi?  Nice one, Nice one

Hehehehe. 

So you are a "Mr"?  Mr. Baby Fart.  Well, I don't know if I can hang with you now, since you are one of the NL boys and not a "Miss" like me.  No Homo. 

There just is a level of craziness amongst the NL boys not seen in the general population.  (I'm not singling out anyone.  So don't get defensive.  You know you all fight like it's the middle ages.)  Not that there aren't the girl nuts too, but they inhabit a section I rarely frequent.  Watch them curse out their mothers in the more "family-friendly" sections.  The Irony.  You see, I choose to stay mainly in the Politics section.  Blame my background for that.  Why couldn't I have learned something useful like making cute earrings or doing hair - you know - something really worthwhile that actually benefits society.  Not reading about Trotsky Tolstoy Machiavelli and all them dead European philosophers, damn it!

I kid I jest.  Well not about the wasting my time studying (mostly American)Politics part.  I could have been a teacher or a businesswoman.  Never too late to change careers.

As far as I can see, the violence at the moment is unidirectional. But then again I'm a leftist troll schooled by Trotsky himself.

hehehe

You see no correlation, that's fine. Me I see it as though the last call the guy made on his cell phone was a collect call to wasilla. Only my point of view ni o.

All right.  I see where you stand.  I could never be a Republican supporter at all.  But I've watched their politics long enough to be weary of the Democrats as well.  I tend to support individuals who demonstrate a backbone.  Sorry, your Obama is full of it!  No kill me ooo!  Hey!  I'll give you one on the other side.  Palin is an easy one, but she's one on my mind right now.  The fake intellectual serious look with the glasses, and that shrill shrieking voice.  Oh, gag her! 

P.S. I'm going back to calling you "Fatty."  Unless you're secretly a girl, what do you care.

Anguish as three-year-old boy dies in well 
By Etim Ekpimah   
Thursday, 13 Jan 2011
Punch Newspaper

Since Saturday, January 8, 2011, residents of the house at 8, Adeniran Street, Abule Oki, Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, have been wearing a gloomy look.

On that fateful day, a three-year-old boy fell into a well located in front of the house. He was brought out of the well dead.

The boy, ThankGod Ochikiri, was the only male child of his father’s seven children.

His father, Moses Odugbo, was devastated by the death of his heir, just as he told PUNCH METRO that since that Saturday, his world fell apart.

When our correspondent visited the house on Tuesday, Odugbo first took him to the well before talking to him.

The well is about 62 feet deep and has a weak and rusty iron sheet used as its cover. It is obvious that the rusty cover could not support any weight.

Odugbo (50) said that he asked ThankGod’s elder sister, Glory (9) to bath the boy on the fateful day. He added that in a matter of minutes, he heard the sister saying that she could not find him.

“As the sister rushed out to get him, she saw him standing on the peripheral of the well. When she tried to cajole him to come down, ThankGod tried to jump over to the other side, but the iron sheet was too weak to support him, and he fell into the well,” he said.

According to Odugbo, all efforts to bring the boy out alive were unsuccessful, adding that it took them almost three hours to get the boy out of the well.

“The fire fighters that came let down their first man only to be dragged out from the middle of the well. The same thing happened with the second man. Only a Good Samaritan that we did not know later went into the well and brought out the boy.

“The first man who made an attempt to bring out the boy from the well, was almost drowning. It took us almost an hour to bring him out,” Odugbo said.

Odugbo said that since they came into the house about six months ago, he had called the attention of their landlord’s son, who manages the place, over the use of use of appropriate materials to cover the well. But he claimed all his efforts fell to deaf ears.

Married 22 years ago to Alice, Odugbo’s family had been blessed with eight children - six girls and two boys. The first child of the family, a male, died at birth.

An environmentalist with Environmental Rights Action, Mr. Akinbode Oluwafemi, said the problem of wells in the country was a manifestation of a bigger problem in the country - a fact that the right of Nigerians to water is not guaranteed by the government at all levels.

He stated that Nigerians had taken the issue of digging wells to be a norm, adding that it was actually abnormal for people to rely on water from the wells in their houses.

He said, “Water is actually a collective resource owned by all of us. Government should provide water for every Nigerian for domestic consumption. That is where the problem is coming from.”

Kuu'she.  Are you using a particular program for yoruba vowel (fonts) or simply pulling symbols from a word processing program?  I really want to find an effortless way to do that.  Please and Thanks.

With the way you reason, I just have to assume you are younger, stupider, impressionable and brainwashed. Until there is proof to the contrary, i stand by my assumption. Its not about you, it just that, unbeknown to you, your reasoning acumen, using the quality of your post as surrogate, gave away your age. Its your brain, stupit!


Americans would not knowingly vote a mother of a'potential' terrorist into any sensitive position. Even, if you had the desire, you wouldnt have been successful


It is called deductive reasoning my dear. You have to be able to do that in order to survive in this country. I have gone through all your post and I can tell you that, even though I do not know everything about you, I have a very good idea the kind of person you are. I have seen your type before, and sorry to break to you, you are not different from the other 10,000 I have interacted with. As a matter of fact, you are just like them.


See kettle calling the pot black.

Remember, what I told you the last time, If you cant take a bullet, get the hell out of Tuscon.

Using your power of deduction, tell me the similarity between me and these 10,000 other people with whom you've interacted.

You need to get a grip. Seriously. I'm worried about you.

Look young gal, this is real. Once you die, you are dead.

You have no idea how old or young I am.  I hazard a guess that I am older than you.  Actually, I am certain of it!

Again, you are a muminat, i doubt if you'd ever be allowed to get to such a leadership position; prolly, that is why you seem oblivious to to the reality of the threat. Religion , your opium, in this situation, seems to be a good thing. Ignorance is bliss.

I have no desire to hold public service in the USA.  And you have no idea how I practise my religion. Because you were subjected to intense and unrelenting fundamentalism does not mean everyone else was. You never bothered to ask.  You just react like a maniac to everything.    

You are really over the top, you know that?

P.S. Stranger, If something's on your mind, you need to deal with it. I don't know what the hell is going on with you! I'm not your enemy. If you're just looking for a debate, I'm game., But there is a way to go about it.

Hysteria?

You think life is a film trick

Yes.  Hysteria.  You don't resign from your job that you worked hard to get just because someone sends you hate mail.  How many public officials get hate mail? How many celebrities have stalkers?  How many have been killed out of thousands!  This woman's shooting was out of the ordinary.  It is not a coordinated attack where a bunch of shooters are going to start picking off Arizona politicans one by one.

Stranger.  What the hell is wrong with you?  Are you gonna start with me again.  You just jump to conclusions with nothing to back it up.  Sheesh!

[quote author=tpia* link=topic=582073.msg7519921#msg7519921 date=1294884196]some good news is sorely needed, and fast.


things are spiralling and by golly i desperately hope i'm wrong.[/quote]It just looks that way, Tpia.  Bad things happen all the time.  When a specific tragic event is highlighted ad nauseum on tv, and when it's happening in our own backyard, it looks like the world is collapsing.  I've seen worse.  And I choose to keep my perspective.

Resign?  That's just unreasonable.  Some serious hysteria there.  Gimme a break! How many times have officeholders been shot? Over how many centuries?

These people.

Fatty! Talk to me.

Since I didn't make much headway in my initiai inquiries, and cannot get the poor lad out of my mind, I search periodically for updates on him, using different terms.  I know there's a thousand sad stories every day.  I still want to know about him.

I'm sure you're old enough to distinguish between Islam or christianity  (genuine divinely inspired faiths) from christians & muslims (human beings,politics,wickednesss,hypocrisy etc). I'm very curious as you say and willing to understand Islam better.

You catch my drift ?

I don't waste time with people like you.  I don't care what you believe or don't believe.  It's obvious you talk out of both sides of your mouth.  I just wanted the people wasting their time on you to see what you're really like.  And, I have no desire to "catch your drift."  Goodbye.

Palin Calls Criticism ‘Blood Libel’
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
New York Times

Sarah Palin, who had been silent for days, on Wednesday issued a forceful denunciation of her critics in a video statement that accused pundits and journalists of “blood libel” in their rush to blame heated political rhetoric for the shootings in Arizona.

“Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own,” Ms. Palin said in a video posted to her Facebook page. “Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence that they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.”
Ms. Palin’s use last year of a map with crosshairs hovering over a number of swing districts, including that of Representative Gabrielle Giffords, had increasingly become a symbol of that overheated rhetoric. In an interview with The Caucus on Monday, Tim Pawlenty, a potential 2012 rival and the former Republican governor of Minnesota, said he would not have produced such a map.

But in the video, Ms. Palin rejected criticism of the map, casting it as a broader indictment of the basic political rights of free speech exercised by people of all political persuasions.

She said acts like the shootings in Arizona “begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state.”

“Not with those who listen to talk radio,” she added. “Not with maps of swing districts used by both sides of the aisle. Not with law abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their first amendment rights at campaign rallies. Not with those who proudly voted in the last election.”

By using the term “blood libel” to describe the criticism about political rhetoric after the shootings, Ms. Palin was inventing a new definition for an emotionally laden phrase. Blood libel is typically used to describe the false accusation that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood in religious rituals, in particular the baking of matzos for passover. The term has been used for centuries as the pretext for anti-Semitism and violent pogroms against Jews.

In the seven-and-a-half minute video, filmed in front of a fireplace and an American flag, Ms. Palin looked directly at the camera as she condemned the shooting and talked about the “irresponsible statements” made since it happened.

On a day that President Obama is scheduled to travel to Arizona to give a speech honoring the victims, Ms. Palin posted the video early, getting a jump on the discussion.

“President Obama and I may not agree on everything,” she said in the video, “but I know he would join me in affirming the health of our democratic process.”

Ms. Palin quoted former President Ronald Reagan as saying that society should not be blamed for the acts of an individual. She said, “it is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”

In the past several days, pundits have wondered aloud why Ms. Palin had not been more vocal amid the criticism coming her way.

In the video, she made clear that she had been watching and reading that criticism. Again and again, she returned to the idea that such commentary was unfairly tarring the people who engaged in political debates last year.

“When we say take up our arms, we are talking about our vote,” she said. “Yes, our debates are full of passion, but we settle our political differences respectfully.”

And she made clear that neither she, nor the advocates for policies that she supports, would be deterred from the rhetoric they have used by the tragedy in Arizona.

“We will not be stopped from celebrating the greatness of of our country and our foundational freedoms by those who mock its greatness by being intolerant of differing opinion and seeking to muzzle dissent with shrill cries of imagined insults,” she said.

[quote author=omo~fat link=topic=582073.msg7515961#msg7515961 date=1294843417]@isale - Sadly you're right. The guns are here to stay. I've never personally been a fan of the let's all have guns as a form of self-defence argument but I suppose some people have a right to that position.

Feel free to call me fatty o - just know that i'm going to come and sue your behind when I suddenly wake up one morning and find that I weigh 33 stones. Words have consequences

Lets rant jare, you go first [/quote] Well, I just wanted to "hear" more than anything. 

I was just checking the news, and ran smack-dab into this (below post).  Palin doesn't realize its best to stop digging when you're already in a hole.  If people have it in for you, even if you are an awesome! person like moi, they can turn any of your words into a slur.

Below is an article on her latest video message.  The first thing I saw before even reading it, was the phrase "blood libel." WTH!  That made me think of Jews which made me think of Congresswoman Giffords, who, come to find out after the shooting, is actually Jewish. 

I doubt Palin meant it in a racial way, but I would avoid certain words because it can be perceived as another incendiary comment.  She might just lose her luster after this event.  Take a chill pill, Sarah.
