vicenzo: That is not enough to r/a/p/e her. What happens to the art of seduction? Seriously, r/a/p/e is a pretty dismal kind of "sex" in which one person's pain, and possible permanent injury, is the occasion for the other one's pleasure. What most of us mean by sex is something mutual and participatory, loving and uplifting or at least flirty and fun. Not something you buy in "oja oyingbo" or force your way into like a robber breaking into a vault. You dont have to buy gifts for a girl before you can sleep with her. You cant buy affection. It is really pathetic if you have to go to extremes in order to sleep with a woman. |
Religion / Can You Believe In God And Evolution? by mitofag: 5:58pm On Sep 19, 2011 |
Can You Believe in God and Evolution? By Steven Pinker FRANCIS COLLINS Director, National Human Genome Research Institute I see no conflict in what the Bible tells me about God and what science tells me about nature. Like St. Augustine in A.D. 400, I do not find the wording of Genesis 1 and 2 to suggest a scientific textbook but a powerful and poetic description of God's intentions in creating the universe. The mechanism of creation is left unspecified. If God, who is all powerful and who is not limited by space and time, chose to use the mechanism of evolution to create you and me, who are we to say that wasn't an absolutely elegant plan? And if God has now given us the intelligence and the opportunity to discover his methods, that is something to celebrate. I lead the Human Genome Project, which has now revealed all of the 3 billion letters of our own DNA instruction book. I am also a Christian. For me scientific discovery is also an occasion of worship. Nearly all working biologists accept that the principles of variation and natural selection explain how multiple species evolved from a common ancestor over very long periods of time. I find no compelling examples that this process is insufficient to explain the rich variety of life forms present on this planet. While no one could claim yet to have ferreted out every detail of how evolution works, I do not see any significant "gaps" in the progressive development of life's complex structures that would require divine intervention. In any case, efforts to insert God into the gaps of contemporary human understanding of nature have not fared well in the past, and we should be careful not to do that now. Science's tools will never prove or disprove God's existence. For me the fundamental answers about the meaning of life come not from science but from a consideration of the origins of our uniquely human sense of right and wrong, and from the historical record of Christ's life on Earth. STEVEN PINKER Psychology professor, Harvard University It's natural to think that living things must be the handiwork of a designer. But it was also natural to think that the sun went around the earth. Overcoming naive impressions to figure out how things really work is one of humanity's highest callings. Our own bodies are riddled with quirks that no competent engineer would have planned but that disclose a history of trial-and-error tinkering: a retina installed backward, a seminal duct that hooks over the ureter like a garden hose snagged on a tree, goose bumps that uselessly try to warm us by fluffing up long-gone fur. The moral design of nature is as bungled as its engineering design. What twisted sadist would have invented a parasite that blinds millions of people or a gene that covers babies with excruciating blisters? To adapt a Yiddish expression about God: If an intelligent designer lived on Earth, people would break his windows. The theory of natural selection explains life as we find it, with all its quirks and tragedies. We can prove mathematically that it is capable of producing adaptive life forms and track it in computer simulations, lab experiments and real ecosystems. It doesn't pretend to solve one mystery (the origin of complex life) by slipping in another (the origin of a complex designer). Many people who accept evolution still feel that a belief in God is necessary to give life meaning and to justify morality. But that is exactly backward. In practice, religion has given us stonings, inquisitions and 9/11. Morality comes from a commitment to treat others as we wish to be treated, which follows from the realization that none of us is the sole occupant of the universe. Like physical evolution, it does not require a white-coated technician in the sky. MICHAEL BEHE Biochemistry professor, Lehigh University; Senior fellow, Discovery Institute Sure, it's possible to believe in both God and evolution. I'm a Roman Catholic, and Catholics have always understood that God could make life any way he wanted to. If he wanted to make it by the playing out of natural law, then who were we to object? We were taught in parochial school that Darwin's theory was the best guess at how God could have made life. I'm still not against Darwinian evolution on theological grounds. I'm against it on scientific grounds. I think God could have made life using apparently random mutation and natural selection. But my reading of the scientific evidence is that he did not do it that way, that there was a more active guiding. I think that we are all descended from some single cell in the distant past but that that cell and later parts of life were intentionally produced as the result of intelligent activity. As a Christian, I say that intelligence is very likely to be God. Several Christian positions are theologically consistent with the theory of mutation and selection. Some people believe that God is guiding the process from moment to moment. Others think he set up the universe from the Big Bang to unfold like a computer program. Others take scientific positions that are indistinguishable from those atheist materialists might take but say that their nonscientific intuitions or philosophical considerations or the existence of the mind lead them to deduce that there is a God. I used to be part of that last group. I just think now that the science is not nearly as strong as they think. ALBERT MOHLER President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Given the human tendency toward inconsistency, there are people who will say they hold both positions. But you cannot coherently affirm the Christian-truth claim and the dominant model of evolutionary theory at the same time. Personally, I am a young-Earth creationist. I believe the Bible is adequately clear about how God created the world, and that its most natural reading points to a six-day creation that included not just the animal and plant species but the earth itself. But there have always been Evangelicals who asserted that it might have taken longer. What they should not be asserting is the idea of God's having set the rules for evolution and then stepped back. And even less so, the model held by much of the scientific academy: of evolution as the result of a random process of mutation and selection. For one thing, there's the issue of human "descent." Evangelicals must absolutely affirm the special creation of humans in God's image, with no physical evolution from any nonhuman species. Just as important, the Bible clearly teaches that God is involved in every aspect and moment in the life of His creation and the universe. That rules out the image of a kind of divine watchmaker. I think it's interesting that many of evolution's most ardent academic defenders have moved away from the old claim that evolution is God's means to bring life into being in its various forms. More of them are saying that a truly informed belief in evolution entails a stance that the material world is all there is and that the natural must be explained in purely natural terms. They're saying that anyone who truly feels this way must exclude God from the story. I think their self-analysis is correct. I just couldn't disagree more with their premise. http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1090921,00.html |

chamber2: First of all, I neither speak nor understand Ibo, so maybe she said that, I am not sure. How else can we describe violation? her top was on, five men against a girl and it was so obvious she resented them. They threatened to tie her mouth and eyes if she shouted. What else? That is not enough to prove violation. Some women have s33x with their clothes on all the time. It is just a matter of preference and comfort. You dont have to be n/a/k/e/d to have s3x. And you dont even have to do it lying down. People have s3x in clubs, in cars gan sef, with their clothes on and shoe paapaaa, all the time. Five men against a girl, again not enough to prove r/a/p/e, the video shows two guys having s3x with her, one after the other, in a very slow and steady manner. We dont know if all five eventually had s3x with her. Until I see the whole video, I cant draw such conclusion. But I agree, the other three men, whether they eventually took their turn or not, if she was infact repeed, should be charged as well. That is if she was rap/ed/. At one point she said; " I no dey try?" Why would she say that if she was not a willing participant. Seems like someone looking for validation for a job well done to me. Which is pretty common amongst girls with very low self esteem in situations like that. Again, until we hear her side of the story, this is not a case of r/a/pe, at least not from what the 10 mins clip shows. |

chamber2: We dont know that. Stop drawing conclusions you cannot backup.
The girl needs to come out and start talking. Until them, desist from editorializing. It doesnt reflect good on you. |
Crime / Re: Blogger Offers N200k For Information About Absu Gang Of Animals by mitofag: 5:26pm On Sep 19, 2011 |
chamber2: So how do you prove r/a/p/e when there was no forced entry? In the video, she was chatting with those guys it seems, and she was more concerned about getting back to her aunt's shop than anything else. It would be difficult for a lawyer to prove r/a//p/e. As disgusting as those guys were, all putting their smelly dyycks in the same disgusting hole and doing their crap in the presence of the other guys in a very dirty place like that, with no shame, accusing them of r/a/p/e would be a tall order even to the most ardent feminist. We dont know what transpired before, shortly prior to, and after, the video started rolling. Who recorded the video? How did the video get online? The perpetrators can be caught by just starting with how the video was procured. very simple case I tell ya. And how did she get into the room, doesnt seem like she was forced into the room, and there were no panties removed or left hanging. Maybe the girl knew all along or was expecting to get laid. The presence of condom tells me it was premeditated, not spontaneous. Meaning, there was some planning involved, elaborate, and the girl might have been involved in the planning. There was also some talk of money and dropping her back and what have you. I am calling shenanigan on this. Dont get me wrong, r/a/p/e is a bad thing. And I will argue that it is a pretty dumb Darwinian specimen who can't plant his seed without breaking the "vessel" in the process. But in this case, the worst you can accuse the guys is aggressive and rough sex, which to my knowledge isnt a jail-able offense. I am reluctant to call it a crime. And especially not a crime because the participant here, not a victim by any stretch, consented tacitly to the charade |

Here is the link guys: My heart goes out to the girl. It is not enough to catch those guys, money should be given out only if and only if at least two of the r/a/p/i/s/t/s spend significant amount of time in jail. That said, there is something about the girl that is off. She was not fighting back and at a point she said " I no dey try." What the guys did was bad, but somehow I think the girl was a willing participant. The guys were rough with her, but did they actually r/a/p/e her? @OYB, there is no point getting emotional. |

R/A/P/E is not new, its part of our nature. R/A/P/E, according to evolutionary theorists Randy Thornhill and Craig T. Palmer, represents just another seed-spreading technique favored by natural selection. I agree it's nasty, brutish and short on pre-intimacy and seduction. But it gets the job done, wella. Since the majority of victims are women of childbearing age ( as it is in this case ) the motive isnt necessarily violence, but lust and love. The intent, however unconscious, is to impregnate. Hence RA/P/E is not an act of pathology really, but a venerable old strategy for procreation, albeit via different method/style. We all have to realize that sometimes what's "natural" isn't always nice. Nothing good comes easy! |
