OkunrinOloro:
Homosexuality is a behaviour. People find some types of behaviour disgusting and vomit inducing.

For example, if someone wipes catarrh from his nose with his hands or goes to the toilet without washing his hands, it would be considered disgusting for most normal people.

Some folks feel the EXACT same reaction to homosexuality. They find it filthy and disgusting.

The problem is, unlike other forms of disgusting behaviour, gays want their behaviour legalised and they want to punish those who find their behaviour disgusting.

That's where the "hatred" comes from.

If gays stop trying to impose themselves on the larger society, the so-called "hatred" will disappear.

It is disgusting to you but not disgusting to me even though I am a straight man. Whether it's disgusting or not is subjective. On what grounds would you brand homosexuality disgusting? Does finding homosexuality disgusting justify stripping homosexuals naked, beating them and parading round the community? Homosexuals want their behaviour legalised because it's their right to live their lives the way they want as long as they don't harm anyone and they have the freedom of expression. They are not trying to impose anything on anyone, they are simply fighting for their right.

Even before homosexual right activism start, gays have been treated harsh since the beginning of time. So saying that the hatred would go if gays stop trying to fight for their rights is wrong. As I said in my op and as you have proved, no one can give a reasonable answer as to why homosexuality is wrong instead what we have are sentiments and non sequiturs.

OkunrinOloro:
It's not hatred. It's simply a normal reaction of revulsion to something we find disgusting.

If you find something disgusting, does that warrant hatred and the maltreatment of homosexuals in public?

Shugavee:
I hate, and don’t hate them at the same times,, I hate what they hv turn themselves to, but I like them cause they r Gods creatures!! Homosexuality is the most disgusting thing on earth

Why? Any concrete reason for the hatred?

Shelumiel:
Rubbish .

You couldn't say anything reasonable hence an irrelevant remark. Mtewwwww.

When you tell people about homosexuality or when a news relating to any homosexual(s) hits the frontpage or, at least, finds its way to nairaland, it's not unusual to find homophobic comments filled with utter disdain and hatred. It's clear from reading these comments that if the monikers behind those comments had their way, they would physically assault homosexuals or, if they were lawmakers, they would oppress homosexuals with homophobic laws. This is self-evident when you observe that in many parts of Nigeria and Africa at large, people caught in homosexual acts are disgraced publicly in a brutal and demeaning manner. Some are stripped naked, shamed, beaten and paraded about the community.

Why the hatred for homosexuals? As it turns out, when you ask these homophobes why they hate, disdain, discriminate and disapprove of homosexuality and homosexuals, they have no reasonable answer to give. When you ask them why they think homosexuality should be a taboo, they have no reasonable answer to give. Even if they say something, it's usually mere sentiments and non sequiturs. The three main answers you will hear from these homophobes are :
1) "That's not how god made it. Its against the will of god."
2) "It's not natural."
3) "It's against our against our culture."

Let's address these points.
1) THAT'S NOT HOW GOD MADE IT. ITS AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD.
The question is "which god?" Have you met this god before? How do you know that this god exists? Who taught you his will? Do you have any evidence that this god exists? The idea of all religious gods and even any creator god has no sound basis in reality. No religious god exists. If your god doesn't exist then this argument holds no water and cannot serve as a justification for homophobia. Its like saying "homosexuality is wrong because its not in the will of Amadioha." Now then, why do you hate homosexuality and homosexuals?

2) ITS NOT NATURAL.
This argument is a very stupid one. Are cyanide, cobras, crocodiles and uranium not natural? Are they harmless and okay for the human body? Are telephones, televisions, cars, knives, antimalarial drugs etc. not unnatural? Do you hate them like you hate homosexuals? Even if something is unnatural, the mere fact of it being unnatural doesn't imply harm or danger to humanity. Homosexuality doesn't harm the gays and heterosexuals. What's disasterous, horrible or reproachful in something being unnatural? If something is unnatural, does it warrant hatred and utter disdain from you just because it is unnatural?

Besides, who told you that homosexuality is unnatural? Reproduction has the natural/biological constraint that a man must penetrate and ejaculate in a fertile woman during sexual intercourse in order to reproduce. For the enjoyment of sexual pleasure, not reproduction, what natural constraint(s) can you point out to conclude that homosexuality is unnatural. Homosexuality has been observed in other animals too. So then, why do you hate homosexuality and homosexuals?

3) IT'S AGAINST OUR AGAINST OUR CULTURE.
If you culture dictates that girls shouldn't school, will you accept that? If you culture dictates that twins are to be killed, will you accept that? The answer to the two questions is "No." Why? Because cultural practices must kneel at the feet of reasoning ie. reasoning is superior. So if your culture says homosexuality is wrong, reasoning asks "why?" Why should your culture be against something if there is nothing wrong in it? Why should your culture be against albinos if there is nothing wrong with albinos? Reasoning says that albinos are human beings too hence they should be treated equally and fairly by the community hence every culture ought to kneel at the feet reasoning and accept albinos. You get my point?

Merely using your culture as a standard is a very stupid thing. The main thing is "what is the reasoning behind X?" So then, why do you hate homosexuality and gays?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homosexuality is not a crime and it doesn't harm anyone and homosexuals should be free to express themselves without condemnation from society. They are human beings like anyone else and shouldn't be discriminated against by society. Homophobia has no justification and as long as the homosexual act is consensual, no problem.

If you have any reason why homosexuality is wrong and homosexuals should be shunned, share.


I know Seun, mynd44, Ishilove, lalasticlala will not send this thing to frontpage. Could they be homophobic? They should prove they are not and send this topic to the frontpage.

Good for them. Do they think education is free? In sane countries, if you forcefully defy a legal order, the police would get physical with you. So you have to respect yourself.

The students are filled with the entitlement mentality. How dare they try to protest "no payment of tuition, no test/exam"? Is the university their fathers' enterprise? How dare they? Where they expecting a university to provide services for free? SMH.

God exist
I believe we are somebody's engineering ..... we are somebody's technology .... we are not special and we are all nothing .... we have no brain beyond what our society defined for us .... Our knowledge of our planet earth at our highest level of technological breakthrough is still limited talkless of our solar system and to talk of billions of stars in our galaxies and billion of galaxies in the universe

Maybe there are even billion of universes ... So, if you say God doesn't exist , it's like a useless brainless wasted drunkard telling his inebriated soul he owns the world ....

You are nothing more useful than that little cockroaches in your room that think it's wiser than you .... You are nothing and Nothing
Fly in the sky and see how antliked your fellow look like and at some point you become so smaller than an atom ....

God doesn't care you believe or not .... I look at myself and my wirings... I have drank beer to stupor and smoked weed till I passed out ...My brain misbehaved till i can't control anything me just like a system being hit by trojan .... There and then, I concluded I am like a computer too , somebody's robotic technology .

Now, if such person states there is afterlife , there is destiny (Programs n Commands) written against your brain box ...... who are we to queried anything in our limited brain and consciousnesses !!

We are too limited !!

We are limited, therefore god exists and we can't say he doesn't? How do you know that we are someone's engineering?

No be small money o
Nigerians no get conscience wen it comes to. Money

A fool is soon parted with his money.

What a fool.

I will tell her to leave my house. I don't want her to lay a false rape accusation on me.

Shibaraba:
Reject house ke?
No o. I'm not wired like that.
Selfless service died with my father
Lived for others
Graded the roads
Sent graduates overseas for training.
Spent nearly all his cash electrifying our community
Influenced the distribution of over 20 transformers in our area
Now if phcn come house and we no dey to check bill na the landlords dey even tell them make them cut our light sef.
Even though we no owe
None of the people he trained checked on us
They forgot him so fast.
Thats Nigeria.

If I be gateman oga build me house o. Furnish am sef. Add swimming pool if possible. The community people go dey fetch water for me as a proud house owner. Since I go be their boss.

That's life for you.

Wise woman. She got her beautiful children and the money, all thanks to baba. What does she want that baba is not giving her? They say baba is too old and not handsome, who that one epp? Her position is better than that of many nairaland girls waiting on their irresponsible young handsome chewing gum yahoo fvck boys.

Guest007:
It's a silly lesson to learn but I trust you've learnt it?

First impressions count...

One company I went for an interview at (this is back in the days- they don't do that now) Put drinks and snacks out and if you helped yourself, they would mark your register.

Companies use psychology to try and understand you because they don't have the power to get to know you.

You mean they would disqualify you for eating the food they presented to you?

@ifada123

I am getting busy recently and may not participate in the challenges as frequently. Still keep the shapes coming. Your work is appreciated.

NB: I don't know basic geometry too well like ifada123 so I used coordinate geometry.

1) Place the diagram on a rectangle coordinate plane such that A is at the origin and AB lies on the positive x-axis. Finally let θ be the angle ∠EAF

2) Using θ, we have the coordinates of all points :
A(0, 0), E(4Cosθ, 4Sinθ), D(7Cosθ, 7Sinθ), C(7Cosθ + 3, 7Sinθ) & B(7Cosθ + 3, 0). The coordinates for F isn't given.

3) Using the aforementioned coordinates, the slope of the line through EC is
m = Sinθ/(1 + Cosθ)
The line through EF is perpendicular to the line through EC and hence has a slope
m' = -(1 + Cosθ)/Sinθ
Using the slope-point form, the equation of the line through EF is
(y - 4Sinθ) = [-(1 + Cosθ)/Sinθ](x - 4Cosθ) ---- (1)
The x-intercept of this line would give you the x-coordinate of F. Making y = 0 in (1), we have x = 4.
Therefore F is the point (4, 0)

4) Using the coordinates of point B and F, we have
(7Cosθ + 3) - 4 = 5.
Therefore Cosθ = 6/7. We have Sinθ = (√13)/7
Using this, we can evaluate the coordinates of points B, C, F and E. Doing this, we have
B(9, 0), C(9, √13), F(4, 0) & E( 24/7, (4√13)/7)

5) The area of the required region is the sum of the areas of EFC and CFB. Using these coordinates together with the distance formula,
EFC = ½(|EF|)(|EC|) = (2√22932)/49
CFB = ½(|CB|)(|BF|) = (5√13)/2
EFC + CFB = ( (5√13)/2 ) + ( (2√22932)/49 ) ≈ 15.1948232 units².

The area is 15.1948232 units².

15.1948232 units².

Let me cross-check, I will post my workings soon.

Shapes are getting tougher.

Manchester City don score. Bernardo Silva has scored.

3-0!

Go and do something useful with your life. Sex is overrated.

tensazangetsu20:
You were right until you got here. Hypergamy is global even Western women chase the cheddars.

True. Hypergamy is universal.

When she said "she can never do it even if I give her 70k," she means she will do it but her starting price is 70k and it will be better if you added something on top.

She said "she can never do it. Even if I give her 70k"

This statement is absurd. It doesn't make sense. Normally, people would say "I can't do it even if you give me a billion dollars or the money in the whole world." Why 70k? You sef reason am.

#500 ke? Try Capri-sun or whatever they call it.

HigherEd:
You people keep shouting poor everywhere. Is he supposed to open a lab for the 'poor' again..

Lol.

Akdegreat:
The fools end up breeding more of their kind.
They multiply and elect themselves into public office and make shitty sissy policies.
We need only real men so that in the end, men are real men.

That's the most painful thing. They breed rapidly and in large numbers. Even when they can't train a child, they still breed.

nigerian men have been pussifield by nigerian women.

If you like preach from morning to night some guys here even after reading will still sell their soul and ambition just for a glimpse of what is under her pants.

Don't mind them. If they don't receive validation from that pretty girl, their self-esteem drops. They are busy looking for "the one" when they should be working on themselves.

Players. Jose Mourinho was complaining about these players but people attacked him for it. Very mediocre players. Immediately Alex Ferguson left, Valencia and Young failed to upgrade themselves as wingers and they settled for being wingbacks, relaxed and kept collecting huge pay. Why couldn't they leave their comfort zone? What kind of players are they? They are not even spectacular or world class wingbacks. They can't even make excellent crosses. Pogba is overrated and Sanchez have gone to sleep.
