Thank God I'm being extremely objective.

Since the solutions laid out are not likely to be adopted, I say scrap it. It's taken only so long. Let Stealla Damascus and Omotola go and get ICAN or whatever.

Must we make films? We have very very good music videos. let's stick to that and watch good foreign movies. All those nationalists that scream foul, let us develop our own will check out in puff! Go and read books, surf the net, listen to music, get laid etc. I'm sure you won't develop a brain tumour or skin cancer if you don't watch any of the 1208 permutations of Love (Real love, Big love, Lovely Love. poisonous love, you catch the drift)

I've signed on the dotted line!

Can you blame the guy. After all you ladies are the ones that claim to have banging bodies.

Hannibal:
Blame women for the phrase "grow up".
They use it more than men.
As soon as they suspect u are not ready to propose in the forseeable future, they bawl "grow up" with that evil/sonorous voice.

YU LOVE THE WAY HE BANGS YOU

Awwww. . . . . the man really does need to grow up. I mean only a baby boy will give a damn about what folk say about his relationship. Over here whining and balling. I feel sorry for the poor 21 y.o. girl. She has to put with this on a constant basis.

@post
What the woman wants weighs a bit more than what the man wants depending on the couple.

shegirl71:

Tee hee hee, thanks.

First off, Are you Gay?

Second off, If you think love is finding yourself in a body bag. . . . go right on ahead.

I am currently dating a great girl. She is gorgeous, she can cook like no one I have met, she's smart, funny, and all around a great girl. When other girls hear, or meet, my girlfriend they always get bitter and give me that angry girl look. Why? Because I am almost 30 and she is 21.

On more than one occasion they have gone into a rant about how I need to "grow up", "mature", and how I am trying to "hang on to my youth by dating younger girls." Then these conversations eventually lead into a bitter whine-fest about lack of "real men" or how too many guys refuse to be responsible and grow-up.

I am a University graduate with two degrees, and I currently work in a great career that I love. But in the minds of women, that is not "grown up" or "mature". No, to them I am still a boy because I date younger women and don't want kids.

So here's my question: In a girl's mind, why does the only definition of "growing up" or being "mature" mean getting married to a woman of equal age and popping out kids? And why is it always what the female wants? I hear all these complaints about lack of "real men" willing to settle down and raise a family, but not one of these women take into consideration what the guy wants. What if he doesn't want kids? Is that so wrong? Or what if, God forbid, he doesn't want to get married?

They are both daft its a stupid thing to fight over.

Cindy McCain parts with Palin on abortion, sex ed

ST. PAUL, Minn. - The wife of Republican presidential nominee John McCain doesn't agree with vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest.


Cindy McCain also parts ways with her husband's running mate on sex education.

Palin opposes abortion and rejects the view that pregnancies caused by rape and incest should be exceptions.

Cindy McCain tells ABC's "Good Morning America" that[b] "I don't agree with that aspect, but I do respect her for her views."[/b]

Palin has opposed funding sex-education programs in Alaska.

Cindy McCain tells ABC that she advocated abstinence as a part of sex education at her children's school. "I believe that it's twofold and I think all of it should be taught."

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Republican presidential nominee John McCain began his final drive for the White House on Thursday with a boost from running mate Sarah Palin while Democratic opponent Joe Biden declared her family "off limits" and suggested that some news media coverage of her had been sexist.

Palin and her husband, Todd, announced this week that their 17-year-old unmarried daughter was pregnant and would be marrying her boyfriend, saying they were making a private matter public because of Internet rumors. Biden said the Democratic campaign was not attacking Palin over her family.

"It is off limits to talk about her family," Biden said in an interview with "Fox and Friends" on Fox News Channel. "Every family has difficulty as they're raising their children. I think the way she's handled it has been absolutely exemplary."

The Palins have five children, including a 4-month-old son with Down syndrome, which has sparked widespread discussion over whether Sarah Palin could balance her family responsibilities with the duties of vice president.

Asked if some of the criticism aimed at Palin has been sexist, Biden said: "Yes, by you guys in the media. , When I heard that media response, you know, this coming from some of the right-wing guys, saying that, 'Well, how can you be a mother and a vice president at the same time?' , I mean, millions of women in America are going through exactly what she (is going) through. And guess what? They can handle it."

Meanwhile, McCain's wife, Cindy, said she doesn't agree with Palin's opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest. She also parts ways with Palin on sex education.

Palin opposes abortion and rejects the view that pregnancies caused by rape and incest should be exceptions.

"I don't agree with that aspect, but I do respect her for her views," Cindy McCain told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview taped for broadcast Thursday.

Palin has opposed funding sex-education programs in Alaska. However, Cindy McCain told ABC that she advocated abstinence as a part of sex education at her children's school. "I believe that it's twofold and I think all of it should be taught," she said.

In a prime-time acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, McCain was expected to review his career in public service — first as a Naval Academy midshipman and wartime pilot and then as a 26-year veteran of Congress — while drawing stark policy differences with Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Democratic critics have questioned Palin's political experience as a small-town mayor and her brief tenure as Alaska's governor, but she turned the tables Wednesday night by offering a searing, sometimes sarcastic attack on the opposing ticket.

Biden complimented Palin for delivering an impressive speech with skill but said that issues important to Americans were missing from her remarks.

"I didn't hear the phrase 'middle class' mentioned, I didn't hear a word about health care. I didn't hear a single word about what we're going to do about the housing crisis, college education, all the things that the middle class is being burdened by now," Biden told CBS' "The Early Show."

"There was a deafening silence about the hole that the Republicans have dug us into and any specific answers as to how the McCain-Palin ticket is going to get us out of that hole," Biden said.

McCain's speech was expected to provide the climax to the four-day convention at the Xcel Energy Center. His wife, Cindy, admitted that she was nervous about addressing delegates herself.

"I'd like people to know what makes me work and what makes me tick and who I am, what I'm all about and where I come from," Cindy McCain told ABC. "I have an interesting story to tell as well in that it combines the two of us and makes us a couple and what we will represent."

Palin joined other Republican speakers Wednesday night in praising McCain as a man of character, a former Vietnam prisoner of war who had spent his early career in the military and had sought to change the ways of politics in Washington.

"In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change," said Palin, toying with the central theme in Obama's campaign.

Palin's 19-year-old son, Track, ships out for Iraq next week with his Army unit. The governor was unflinching as she contrasted McCain's military record with a lack of armed service by Obama and Biden.

"There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you in places where winning means survival and defeat means death — and that man is John McCain," she said.

scrap it? why?

people love it, people watch it, people make money from it. I see no reason why it should be scrapped. If it doesn't suit you, don't knock others who enjoy it.

^{still lafffing at 12 year old RMD}

Lol, you've never seen RMD play 12 years? Aaah, no wonder you are still defending the movie industry. Go see it and then come back. . . wait I hope you're not one of those people who have guns? If you are, please bury it first before you watch the movie. Trust me on this, I learnt the hard way. . .  it was after I had emptied my .45 at the TV, my face came down and I thought how the heck am I going to explain shooting my TV to the cops (whose siren I could hear. . . nosy neighbors called them). I had two choices, pretend I was insane or tell them I had watched a terrible Nollywood movie but I knew the 2nd one won't hold water. . . cut a long story short, 3 wks in a mental faclity with electric shock for breakfast and dinner is NOT what I would wish for my worst enemy. I hope now you see why I am on this cause like bee on honey.   

doyin13:
The similarities between Nollywood and Indecency productions are quite obvious.

Shoddy acting, shoddy production etc.

But I don't see anyone calling for the Scrapping of the Indecency industry innit.
