As I'm living in a country that is half french speaking and that one of my compatriots has written the best romantic song ever, I gladly post the lyrics here:

Ne Me Quitte Pas - Jacques Brel

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit deja
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois)

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'apres ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois)

Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te racont'rai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois)

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois)

Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois)

@ Nferyn, Wonderful kids u've got there.

Would you allow me marry Tom? _{(don't worry, i'll wait till he's grown up)}

That would depend on him. But do you think you're up to the task?

spoilt:
excuse me sis but did you say your aicha? are you nervous because she's holding hands with a fellow class mate? have you paid her bride price on behalf of your son? is she bethrothed to him?
cool down. . aicha seems to have a lot of admirers. whoever wants aicha has to prove they have excelled in their chosen field to be deemed worthy to pluck that beautiful flower from nferyn's compound.
right nferyn?

What can I say?
When's she's older and she starts dating, I think I'm going to have nice conversations with the guy about castration as a good cure for Hot bulls, just as a casual remark during a conversation, you know

another urban legend to rally the gullible behind the good cause
sad

Telly B:
@nferyn,

How can a soul be irrational, what is a soul?

Could you try this for example? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul

Ah, you mean the brainchild of some pre-modern essentialist mode of thinking that no person has ever been able to demonstrate. The imaginary entity that's supposed to be the essence of a human being. The presupposition of a soul is indeed very irrational. Does that make the soul itself irrational?

Telly B:

Don't know about aberrant. Probably in the eyes of the average Christian

In religious terms, it means exactly that.

Right, Christian compassion ans love; Hate the sin, love the sinner, isn't it?

Telly B:

Don't think so

Because you don't know so.

I don't worship imaginary beings, whether they're called God or Satan.

Telly B:

Not really, I don't hate imaginary beings

I hope you didn't consider yourself possessed, as he might not have been referring to you?

Who was referring to me? I just found these criteria funny

Telly B:

I can be quite explicit yes

Hmm. Interesting.

I usually reserve that for people I'm familiar with and it really depends on the circumstances

Telly B:

Sometimes, but not too much

Are you kidding me? Okay, please tell me you meant to just tease.

the feeling usually lasts for about 3 to 5 minutes

Telly B:

Definitely. In general, belief in God is detrimental to humanity

I am a human being who believes in God. I haven't seen my belief as detrimental to me.

Religion's just a monumental waste of time and effort and is extremely divisive

Telly B:

That's 4 out of 7. Do I qualify as possessed?

I don't know. Go through the check list again and let's know how many you might come up with again.

Am I to choose? Nice. I'm possessed by invisible drunk pink unicorns with a monumental hang over. They poke me with invisible needles and make me do weird dances

@ bari_kade

A few 'signs' of demon possession:

Demons cause a victim to experience some of the following:

#1. irrationality of mind and soul

How can a soul be irrational, what is a soul?

#2. strange and aberrant behaviour

Don't know about aberrant. Probably in the eyes of the average Christian

#3. satanic and demonic worship

Don't think so

#4. extreme hatred towards God

Not really, I don't hate imaginary beings

#5. insatiable lust for lewdness and obscenities

I can be quite explicit yes

and in extreme cases:

#6. a strong suicidal feeling

Sometimes, but not too much

#7. deliberate effort to turn people away from God.

Definitely. In general, belief in God is detrimental to humanity

That's 4 out of 7. Do I qualify as possessed?

That wasn't me but KINGKONG
