DeepSight:
God and Eternity are precepts that transcend the material dimension and the universe indeed.
Indeed, it is the very fact of the constant change of matter and the universe that we derive the logical understanding that neither can be eternal in the past - this leads us to apprehend the fact that they must proceed from a transcendent extraneous cause or factor.

This is a counter thread created by emusmith

I grew up with the mentality that age doesnt define maturity. Below are the signs that you are now evolving into a WOMAN of VIRTUE

10 Signs You Are A Woman Now

1. You Stop Pretending You Hate Sex
A matured lady doesn't pretend she hates sex 'cause she knows she will be regarded as an hypocrite. Even if she doesn't like it, she rather keeps shut or she even talks about it instead of squeezing her face as if she just took yoyo bitters at the mention of sex just as some girls do

2. A Matured Lady Does Not Advertise Her Virginity
When a woman still has her virginity, hardly would you even know rather than those who will advertise and show to their friends that they are so determined and disciplined


3. You Stop Keeping Magas
You are now evolving into a woman the moment you realize the idea of keeping corresponding magas doesn't dignify you. You need to have the mentality that a lady also has to hustle to meet ends need and pull your resources together in order to make your man's dream
come true

4. No King Rules Forever
A woman has it at the back of her mind that no king rules forever, therefore, she utilizes any opportunity rather than screening men like Gulder Ultimate Search Audition.. It's funny some ladies lack foresight, therefore, they feel they will remain on top of the game forever.

5. You Stop Changing Boyfriends Like Bathroom Slippers
A woman is more concerned about her dating record rather than those who take pleasure in promiscuity because they feel their past has little or no impact on their future, therefore, they treat men harshly cos they believe they've got many of them at the snip of their fingers

6. You Appreciate Little Things
Little things trip we guys. It's not until a man empties his bank account for you before you show mind of appreciation. When a dude sends you ordinary N100 recharge card, appreciate it and show to him that money is not plucked from trees

7.The Dignity Of A Lady Does Not Only Lie In Her Kitty-Cat
A mature lady possesses basic qualities why immature ladies place so much emphasis on virginity (for those who still have it). A woman Possess basic qualities that will make a man see beyond her kitty-cat or bosoms


8. Swallow Your Pride
A woman humbles herself before people regardless of her class and she's not brainwashed by the shakara associated with university education, beauty, fashion and her father's wealth. However, she doesn't feel pompous or behaves like a donkey cos her parents has made her realize how beautiful she is and that she's from a wealthy home, therefore, a man has to treat her like the Queen of England

9. You Are Not Easily Moved
It takes the grace of God for a lady not to be moved by a motor car or fall for sugar-coated dudes. Many ladies quickly make up their mind at the sight of motor car and little deceit. A woman is patient, not gullible and looks beyond the motor car of a man



10. Your World Does Not Revolve Around Money
You don't need to have a million b4 you can show to a guy that you are not a slave to money. A man will always ride and enslave you when your world revolves around money. A matured lady sees a man's money as bonus. There's no man on the surface of this earth who wouldn't respect a woman who shows to him that his money is just a bonus

Two days ago, on my way home from work around 9pm, I was stopped by some police men for carrying a laptop. The mistake I made was I did not have the receipt and my ID on me. They put me in a danfo bus and headed to their station. On the way they picked up anybody they saw that had a bag on them. There was even a guy that had a laptop with him with his ID card and receipt that they picked "cause he was walking around with a laptop alone". They seized all our phones till we got to the police station.

When we got to the police station they separated those of us that had laptops from those that didn't. All of us with laptops were branded yahoo boys. They told us to turn on our systems so they can analyse what was on the system. When I switched on my own they saw visual studio with codes and sql server open (I am a developer) and they concluded that that was the software that I use in scamming my clients. After punching and slapping me for not telling them the truth of how I do my operation (they opened my yahoomail account and saw nothing that suggested that I was a yahoo guy), they packed my bag with my laptop and locked me in a cell(there were about 20 guys in the cell). They allowed me to make some calls before they locked me up.

My folks later came to bail me out around 2 in the morning and can you imagine that after collecting money for bail they asked for money from me to collect my belongings that was with them (They said I had to pay for the fuel money)

I got home and I was thinking

a. Are we saying that someone with a laptop cannot work around with it, even if the person has a receipt and an ID card?
b. How many people have they kept in the cell without any just reason or just cause "they were walking alone"?
c. Is there no agency that punishes law enforcers for abusing their power?
d. What training do the officers go through for them to separate a developer, photo editor, graphics designer from a yahoo guy?
e. How do we want to develop ourselves in the field of ICT when everybody that carries a laptop is called a yahoo guy?

when it comes to claims of sëxual offences by women, i always stop short. 90% of them are usually fabricated. if we go by word of mouth alone, potiphar's wife was sëxually harassed by young joseph.

Timbuktou:
Don't twist my words madam. Marriage is in the interest of neither sex.

Timbuktou:
Nature has placed the woman under the man where romance, family and marriage are concerned. You can fight it all you want, or you can embrace reality.

Timbuktou:
1. Already treated.

2. You love flogging dead horses?

3. I would go with relative comfort and satisfaction.

Timbuktou:
You asked what nature meant and I gave a general meaning.

More specifically, our nature would refer to essence as in mind and body; needs and the means and channels to satisfying those needs.

Marriage is society's attempt to answer order on the basic level. There exists the need to reproduce, mate, romantic/sexual exclusivity, socialise, build, secure, etc. Marriage attempts to meet all these needs as civilly as possible.

Fw+d .
Free will + the Devil.
But bascally,it's Free will- men yieldg their bodies to an evil satanic being to b used by him.

The earth is for man. Only humans can operate in it, so for satan to work his evil,he needs human bodies. Human beings yieldg their bodies to him get his work done here,knowingly or unknowingly.
Similarly, For God to get His job done, He too needs human bodies,
people who'll b his hands and feet and eyes and ears and tongue and voice.
Etc.

To slaughter so many jews, satan needed a being full of his spirit and ready to yield to him, he found such a one in Hitler!

Timbuktou:
natural, physical, or material world or universe.
"Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical
world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale
from the subatomic to the cosmic.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word
natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition",
and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".[1]
Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word
physis (φύσις), which originally related to the
intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and
other features of the world develop of their own
accord.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature

No, we are not to mindlessly obey nature/our nature as other animals do. We are to embrace our nature and improve on it where necessary and/or possible. We would be foolish to go against our nature.

Mercedes made a huge contribution to passenger safety in the early 50s with the invention of the crumple zone that we now take for granted or may not even have heard of it.
Prior to this time, the whole of the car was made to be very rigid. So in the event of a head on collision, the full force of impact is transmitted to the occupants of the vehicle.
The result of the old design was that on impact most of the vehicle will remain intact but with lots of passeger injuries/ fatalities.

But by creating a crumple zone in the front of the car, most of the energy from the force of impact is not transmitted to the occupants of the vehicle. It is absorbed by the rapid deformation of the crumple zone.
So the fact that on impact a modern car easily deforms is a safety feature that helps to protect the passengers on impact.

asalimpo:
I understand the writers viewpoint.
But we thank God anyway.
And we thank honda engineers.
God is behind every goodness.

Timbuktou:
Reproduction is nature, humans respond to this through mating behaviour. Sorry, you have no point there.

Relationships are transactionary in nature, it's give-and-take. The goods and services are love, affection, favours, etc. This is nature, this is human behaviour.

Human behaviour must align with nature for the furtherance of the human race.

Callfubu:
In terms of perspective "weaker" doesn't always mean powerlessness. Generally, women might not be physically or mentally strong to handle daunting and very stressful tasks, and feminism is not going to change that in a gazillion years but they are strong enough to hold a man down, support him in all his endeavors, groom and train the children, take care of her man and the house. All these tasks might seem like they are easy, but in truth they actually are not, because majority of men can't do these things. That's why we need women who are help meet and are "STRONG" in that area to come and show their strength. In truth if women are advocating for equal rights which I feel they already have but want more, they wouldn't still be able to cope. They will have to have same toilets with men, play sports together, be in politics equally and in the right proportion etc.

sinequanon:
It may describe your point, but there is no precedent for it in practice. As I said, there is no possibility of it, even if anyone pretends that there is.

It is called a CATCH 22.

It is just as if you always wore blue goggles (which you think hold the answer to the universe and everything) and the world looked blue. Somebody tells you that there is a color red. You say, "prove it, by showing me the colour red". They tell you to take off your goggles. You tell them "no, not until you show me the colour red."

i.e, you are prepared to make the "paradigm shift" (take off your goggles) if they show you the colour red, first. errrh.......

Answer: you can't see red with your blue goggles -- and we can all go home, happy to live in our various worlds.

Timbuktou:
Where do you find the concept of market forces in nature? How did we decipher the nature of demand and supply? How did we decipher the nature of economics?

Timbuktou:
Society is best served following the laws of nature. When society attempts to rebel against nature we get the current dilemma of a society off equilibrium.

coogar:
did you even bother to read that link before posting it? jeeez - everything i have mentioned earlier are in this link about the worrying statistics of women at the top echelon of STEM fields.



bullshyte!
women lie about these things to get a leg up or a settlement payout. inappropriately touched my white foot! so getting touched inappropriately is the reason 30% of women that graduated in engineering never bothered to find an engineering job?

Maj Mirmirani, dean of the engineering program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, said the lack of females in the workforce is problematic because women have inherent abilities they can offer in the field, which translate to more innovation, greater business opportunities and a more competitive economic environment.

Carol Eaton, president of Daytona State College, said while the situation is disheartening, an observation of the medical field's transition from being male-dominated to one of equal representation — and applying those principles to the problem of the lack of female engineers — may provide a solution.

Timbuktou:
Married men have earned the right to conceit. A married man in the true sense of the concept is an established person. He's at the top of the social pyramid. Nature has placed the woman under the man where romance, family and marriage are concerned. You can fight it all you want, or you can embrace reality.

coogar:
this argument has not shifted one bit. even a dog knows STEM courses are the hardest in the academic sphere of life. one needs a good brain to thrive there & i have proven to you that women have been found wanting when it comes to tasks that require a large amount of brain power.

there's no true excuse why women cannot pull their weights. sėx harassment is only limited to developing countries - not in the developed world. leaving their jobs to raise families is also a moot point. a chunky proportion of this women never even attempted to use their engineering degrees to find jobs once they graduated.

you are the one looking like the joke here - you have raised weak points to defend the extremely low number of women at the topmost level. the question still persists - why do women drop out & completely change their career path?

sexual harassment or sheer incompetence?

Timbuktou:
Don't twist my words madam. Marriage is in the interest of neither sex.

one of bill gates' classmates is paul allen. they attended a private school together & today he's worth $17 billion. ballmer is another of his classmate at havard - he's worth $22 billion & he's the owner of LA clippers.

so you see, few of BG's classmates later went on to become successful in their own path. mark zuckerberg is also a good example. where are his female equivalents? scratch that - who is the female equivalent of seun osewa in naija abi there were no women in his class?

biko, accept your position & stop ranting.

Timbuktou:
1. There exists a different type of slavery. What do you call a 9-5? Slavery is important to mankind.

2. Socialisation is still built on ranks of a different kind. The most productive and efficient are at the top and at the base you find the dregs of society.


Is marriage the happiness of men, then?

Timbuktou:
You're a funny somebody.

Do you realise the implication of eliminating the family institution?

coogar:
these factors don't affect men alone. men have also been sëxually harassed at work. just because we don't moan about it like rhesus monkeys doesn't mean it doesn't happen. women dropping out of their careers to raise families further reinforces my point that such roles don't naturally suit the female gender.

it's biology or nature, nothing to do with subjugation. no matter how much a woman feels he can compete with the opposite gender, the chicken will always return to the roost. the question then remains - why start the career at all when we all know there's a point where majority of them would abandon the ship to raise rugrats?

marriage doesn't suppress the potentials of women - child rearing does! you can marry and decide not to have a child, that will not affect your career one jot! nature designed women to get pregnant - that factor is what suppresses their potentials, marriage has got nothing to do with it.

Timbuktou:
Women are not regarded as sub-humans, you and your feminist colleagues view them so because you are feel entiltled. Women in marriage and romantic relationships are steps below their man. Hypergamy alone has inferiorated your species.

Secondly, you should realise that once the family is officially destroyed the society is gone. How many men do you think will agree to become mere sperrm donors? The family was never a means to happiness, it was a means to safeguarding the order and continuity of society. It is your new age teachings that have changed the meaning and purpose of marriage.

Timbuktou:
What sort of dignity exactly. Where's the dignity in running down the family system? Or doing work you really don't need at the expense of one's family? I asked if you were married and you're yet to answer.

Callfubu:
if it were Nigerian or African women that were at the pole front of the whole feminism thing, it would be "somewhat" justified because asides from religious sentiments regarding the position of women, our cultures also subjects them too. Because women are subject to men is not a bad thing in itself, it that men take advantage of it is what is bad. But the whites that keep advocating for these useless propaganda all have it good. Their law favors women a lot, especially during a divorce. which is not the same case in Nigeria or Africa as it were.

coogar:
^^^

that's just theoretical - fact remains women are leaving the field in droves these days, they are simply not interested in it cos they cannot cope mentally.

coogar:
increase or decrease?

very constant!
they are hoping to get 25 female CEOs in FTSE by 2025. that's about 10 years from now. just 25%.

there's always an exception to the general rule - stop arguing against logic. if the ratio of all geniuses are 100 to 1 in favour of men then you can generally conclude that men are better at some roles than women. it's nothing to be ashamed about.

coogar:
what i mean is - she was specially created to carry a man's baby. that's the primary purpose of women. a man puts his seeds in her & she must carry the baby to term with the body features she was blessed with -

propping her to do other things is just trying to be politically correct. generally, women are not cut for such roles.

•FTSE 100 - only 5 female CEOs
•british engineers - only 9% are females
•american engineers - only 18% are females
•world leaders - only 20 are females in 280 countries.

why these disproportionate figures? do women not go to school?
