I agree with you, its an environmental/cultural thing, but at the end of the day, it may mean that you become a person which when compared with people from other environments are less attractive for a relationship.
I actually  think if you go around Nigeria, there are vast differences between the people. Even just down to the type of family they come from, so yes its not all. Who has the time to be sifting through people, if there is an indiviual in your face who is giving you the type of attributes you want, and they happen to be white?


Isn't that what Nigerian guys are doing? Its you guys who come here and make the same comparisons with other cultures, so then you should understand what is being pointed out here.

hahaha. abeg slow down o. who is "you guys"?  U see. . . u sef are guilty of putting people in a box and labeling them.

u are hereby sentenced to 8 lashes of public flogging.  

I understand tho . . .  I just don't think having a preference for one race necessarily means u are discriminating against another.  Some people just find certain physical features more attractive, and in some cases skin color may be one. Robert de Niro, for example, is notorious for being attracted to black women. Some person may like big butts and would pick a chinese girl with a big butt over a black chik with a little butt, even tho he may be a black civil rights activist (can'tthink of any such example tho   ). That proves nothing, just trying to point out that people like different things for whatever reason and we may just be over-analysing here. Ultimately, IMO, it boils down to the individual.

londoner:
Lol,  stereotypes stay alive because usually there is an amount of truth in them.

I think a lot of them are cultural things. I mean, for example, Nigerians may be described as confrontational people, and that may be correct, because Nigeria is a "rough" place and u kinda have to be aggressive and suspicious to get by or ahead successfully. But it would be wrong, IMO, to assume that u can not reason with a Nigerian because we are believed to be strong headed. SO it may not be wrong to say we have such traits, but it may be wrong to say those are "Nigerian" traits, or to use that as a basis for discrimination against Nigerians, because u will find that people in similar environments will probably have similar traits.

Most stereotypes are nonsensical. Subscribing to them may make u an . . . . . . . .

People like different things, IMO. If some chik picked a skinny white dude over your "good looking rich" self, she isn't necessarily discriminating. . . she may just be attracted to him, or maybe just very drunk,  maybe your lines were cheesy. . . maybe offering to take her shopping and buy her stuff after a 5 minute conversation was a turn off. Maybe u had bad breath on the day. Maybe u're just not her type. Maaybe the skinny white guy had mad game. Maybe she is a racist insecure biaitch, maybe he was her p.im.p. . ,   anything is possible. . .

haha. I'm yet to notice. But I think u can be feisty sometimes, especially when it involves people dissing Chelsea 


@ topic I'm not into jewellery. Don't get the point.

@ Nuclear boy. OK. If u say so. I don't go around looking for faults in the bible though. That I find them there does not mean I have an agenda to pick them out. I don't think we should question each other's motives. Just my opinion.




Did snakes talk at some point in history? Do virgins get pregnant? Do people survive in whales for 72 hrs and live to tell about it? Do people physically disappear into the heavens?  Can someone walk on water ? These are things that no one can prove never happened but appear in the Bible, and people believe actually happened. Our experience of reality, IMHO, calls us to be critical about literal interpretation of such claims.

how do u reconcile those with this statement u made earlier?

When reality points to a statement/understanding/idea being obviously wrong but we find people believing in it, we know thats not faith but delusion. Show me delusion in the Bible by proving the opposite of its claims and bro, I'll  be on your side like white on ice!

If a sincere person rejects faith for the simple fact that those statements make no sense based on reality as experienced by him/her, would that person be right to consider someone whose faith is based on the historicity of those claims "deluded"?

Will u at least concede that religion for many  individuals is based on belief in things that can legitimately be described as ridiculous/delusion by a neutral objective observer who has no interest in discrediting the bible, but is just going by what these individuals confess to believe?

nuclearboy:
The decisions you make are based on your belief that most, if not all, of these choices you made, are right - thats interpretation, aint' it?

I doubt I'm wrong in believing that a lot of the statements in the bible are not meant to be taken literally, or as scientific fact to be swallowed word for word and not questioned.  That they are not scientifically accurate is of no consequence to me. I wouldn't have brought that up had Myjoe not mentioned it, but I just think you insisting that people who point out such are looking to find faults in the bible is unwarranted. They may be pointing these out in response to people who insist the Bible is written to tell us only truths about all aspects of life, even science, geography, etc. I think that is a ridiculous claim and i think there is overwhelming evidence to support that. Forcing science, that didn't exist till thousands of years after the fact, into the bible is just kinda tacky intellectualism IMHO. Let's say they were wrong about the hare (scientifically speaking), so what? I doubt that was the point they were trying to make.

We thought the atom was the smallest thing. . . we know better, we changed the books. Try that with Genesis (This is for YEC)

I pick vegetables out of my food.

InesQor:
Come o, I am missing Deep Sight too. 

And my guy, viaro! 

haha. Yup!! I was just thinking about Deepsight and Viaro today. I miss their posts. chei!! Him and Viaro dey type like crase.    I have to give them props.

Sometimes I debate people and I just quit after a while out of fatigue. . .But they go at it for days, responding to every line of each other's posts. wow!! We need them back. this place is not the same without them.

Cherry cheesecake. I see the syrup all over ur lips . . I know it was u

@Krayola

You know most people are still too scared to admit that the toughest 'gangsta rappers' are fakers.
I don't want to cause another riot so I won't drop names. . . truth is, t[b]he realest gangstas don't try to be gangsta[/b].

Abeg chop knuckle!!

WHen I hear rappers and every other line is about how they shot some guy or moved 10 kilos in a week or month or whateve, i just get irritated. Do u have any idea how much 10 kilos of blow costs? Who moves 10 kilos and goes home to record a rap song? chei. some rappers no go kill me. Now, as a rapper u have to make stuff up, fine. U gotta do what u gotta do as an entertainer. But when ur whole image/identity is built on the stuff u make up, it ain't gonna last. After a while people start to see through it. SOme people at least, some will just be gullible forever.

isnt helping me get my stolen ice cream from miss ice cream thief

whitesturd:
ice cream .when,how,where, .
Topic.he is accusin me falsely

and u're denying it. chei!!

get my ice cream back from

She stole my ice cream

The difference between Jay-z and a lot of other rappers, IMO, is that Jay-z actually has stuff to say. He lived it, he aint just talkin it.  Most of these rappers have lived some nonsense corny lives and now want to claim gangsta. .  they don't evolve cause there's nothing to evolve into but more cornyness.

Black album, cn't pick  favorite song. Almost every song on that album was my favorite at some point in time. . .  except change clothes.  Moment of clarity and encore stand out right now tho. May have to listen to it again to remember. AIn't heard it in a while.

haha. Abuzola fan club? sign me up

haha Game over. 3 points in the bag. Not an impressive display tho. But i'll take the points.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=400313.msg5780708#msg5780708 date=1269722529]Krayon, who will you be supporting on Wednesday?
The Arses or the Barses? [/quote]haha. I don't support Arsenal. I like them and want them to win the EPL.

Remember I predicted they were going to win the league. . so now that they are so close, why wouldn't i want them to prove me right, like i am 99.999999% of the time

haha. i juss dey play mehn. no cry o

GOALLLLLLLLLLL IBRACADABRAAA!!!

See this closet Barca fan!! Small time he go dey shout Milan

GOAL IBRA!!! 0-1

Mallorca no wan gree o.

haha. I try to stay objective. I don't hype up my team when they don't deserve it. They haven't played well today.

We just need to try to keep the ball. We're horrible without it. Arsenal can soak up pressure better than us. IMO, if they can keep the ball away from us they can beat us. It's that simple.

We're not convincing today either.  Messi and Xavi haven't played tho. .  so maybe we'll improve when/if they come on.

haha. ^^ high mo fo


We need to score soon!!

Haha Oloshi na u go swallow your own tongue! Obviously ma rhetoric was too dandy for ya[/quote] Ok. We go jam on wednesday. U go think say na Molue jam u.

Aight. . . So that would make every book inerrant as long as every individual is comfortable with his interpretation. No?

I know what u mean tho. .  and I kinda agree.  I just think anyone arguing for an inerrant Bible despite all we know about it is on a looong thing.
