LMAO!


*Shaking my head*

EloSela:
I think the poster meant the numbers of participants per country. America has one of the largest Olympic teams with participants in the majority of events being held. I think that that coupled with the seriousness and culture of sport in America is a winning factor.

Thank You.

keba:
how do i suppose?? what do you mean??
do you have any powers to make such things happen

Let's just say if we all come to an agreement. . . ALL OF US, no changing of mind later. I can do a few things. A little accident here, another small accident there, doors and windows opening and closing for no reason, ya catch my drift?

2sleek2NV:
i heard samuel L jackson had an accicdent recently,

You are joking!!!

Dispatching my curse finding experts to check out this news. If you are right. . . wow! the Possibilities of what can happen is endless!! First people will start taking these curses seriously, no longer will they be scoffed at as mere urban legends, you have no idea how long Our Group Turning Movieset Curse Stories to reality have been trying to get this done. We thot we had a good thing with Batman but. . . well let's just say the London Police are more civilized than we thot, I mean for some reason we kind of had our minds set that they would, you know put a little Naija Police brutality when they arrested Christian Bale.

Whoa! I can't think, I'm so excited! You better not be joking oh!

Hannibal:
Being confident does not make em pretty.
You are mixing 2 thangz together here.
Are Naija women confident?? A resounding YES.
Is the average Naija woman beautiful? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'd trade confidence for beauty. . . .
Hannibal does not want to make bush babies as kids as Naija women tend to also have dominant genes.

ROTFLMAO!

May my father in heaven who answers prayers give you a wife who has her very own shares in a brown paper bag company.

If it will take 120 days of fasting and praying. . . I swear, I am ready to go the distance!!

@ poetikalz
I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand your beef. Sounds to me like you are angry because they tried to set you up with a fat and ugly girl. Will you feel differently about the church if she was a thin and pretty girl?

Okay, we know one thing to be very true

Naija women are confident women!!

The same women some people think are obscenely ugly,

I don't know about you oh but for me, It only makes them top notch in my book.

I tell ya, If confidence is traded in the NYSE,

I imagine the price for Nigerian Women's confidence will skyrocket.

Why is that a bad thing?

Condom:
Typical Idiot! Don't attempt to color it pretty. The title reads "UGLY".

Typical idiot ke? See me see trouble oh. . . Is it me that wrote the dictionary?

Talk about your random stray bullet!

obscenely Ugly

Lmao!
Not very Ugly,
Not very, very ugly,
Not too much ugly,
Obscenely ugly!!

Defination from of Obscene fro dictionary.com

ob·scene
adj.

1. Offensive to accepted standards of decency or modesty.
2. Inciting lustful feelings; lewd.
3. Repulsive; disgusting: "The way he writes about the disease that killed her is simply obscene" (Michael Korda).
4. So large in amount as to be objectionable or outrageous: "local merchants in nearby stores get hammered by stratospheric rents and obscene taxes" (Joe Queenan).


Hmmm, on second thoughts I'm begining to think 4 Play meant Naija girls incite lustful feelings. Oh la la

4 Play:
Given how obscenely ugly many Nigerian girls are,I thought it would be most apt to pass this SOS message from Australia to Nigerian women.

Apparently, a town in Australia is running desperately short of young women,the male to female ratio is 5:1. This has prompted the Mayor to invite ugly women to his town to relieve the scarcity of damsels. Knowing how ugly our Naija sisters are,they would be of great use to these long suffering Aussies.

ROTFLMAOPIMP! Oh My God! You are awful! LMAO

I am soooo taking cover and I'll suggest you do the same.

And Hell No, I am not making room for you in my hiding spot, It's comfy and it's got the best view. Besides I don't wanna get hit by a stray bullet.

Pastor AIO:
It seems that as just about anybody can make a film and write a book these days not to mention the internet making it easy for the proliferation of all sorts of information, rubbish and truth, it is all the more important to follow claims, references and citations to the very end.

Absolutely! I was just getting ready to post some videos I came across on youtube when I saw your post.

Thanks for the article. . . this was what I hoped we would do with this thread.

DRANOEL:
Its sad how most southern contributers on nairaland have come to symbolise the north as everything bad. A southerner is married and no issues,oh lets blame the north,obasanjo steals money,lets blame the north,nddc chairman burns 270million in a cementary,lets blame the north,ibori steals money lets blame the north,neap takes light,letsa blame the north,anenih doesn’t fix benin-ore road,oh lets blame the north,a southerner arrested for drug peddling,lets blame the north,HABA!

I’ll would like to look at some of these issues

Asari dokubo (of all people) stands up to call people parasites! How? Asari as I know is the epitome of laziness and the new symbol of any man who at 40yrs is stilling living with his parents and collects weekly allowance or how else can you explain who stands on a piece of land and takes up arms because oil is found there(which he knows nothing about its formation or did Asari plant oil in the delta?).how can he be calling some one who actually farms or some one who is rearing cattle (even if he is a herdsman he is actually working) a parasite? Will any sane person call a man who is toiling the soil for food lazy and then say the one who stands and says “aah theres oil in my land” hardworking? For me this is a more or less the case of a lazy brat waiting for inheritance money period! The people of texas and Norway regardless of the abundance of oil in their land have found better and useful things to do with their lives. There is oil in your land so what? The land is polluted so what? Is it more polluted than Hiroshima? Should the people of Hiroshima resign themselves to faith? Haba Asari do something meaningful with your hands and lets see if anyone will collect it from you. A state like delta is collecting twice the allocation the whole of north east is collecting and yet they can't develop a population of 2million! Aint that a shame? So without oil they cannot develop abi? If so thy are worst than the northerners they so much hate!

The north will suffer with out the south. Anyone who nsays that is an ignorant fool who needs a brain check! Go to federal statistics office and check the records. The north produces only 8% of its estimated food capacity,the south on the other hand gets about 87% of its food needs from the north. Now tell me if Nigeria should split wouldn’t the south be importing food from the north? If yes,do you think the tuber of yam you buy at say 250naira will still be sold at that amount? The answer is no,oil money will be used to buy food(hope you guys read about the world food crisis) more like iraq,and guess who will be the beneficiary! Nigeria nay the north has the capacity to feed the whole of Africa and much more. Necessity is the mother of inventions,take away oil and you will see food!. And talking about parasite,you get 87% of your food needs from someone you are calling a parasite.funny.

The north is an arid land. Yes sokoto,kano,jigawa e,t,c but there is also benue,taraba,kogi,nasarawa,plateau,southern gombe,southern adamawa,kwara,bauchi,niger and southern kaduna, are these areas also arid? And has it occurred to the southerners that these areas joined together are bigger than the whole south in terms of landmass? As for those comparing the north with chad and niger these countries are completely arid unlike the north.

The north contributes nothing to VAT because of sharia and alcohol blah blah blah. Lets be a bit objective here. Using statistics,the people of benue,southern kaduna and plateau (jos) consume alcohol more than any part of the country yet some one will say because of sharie ban on alcohol the north contributes nothing to VAT. It is a well known fact that the hausa stock are amongst the worlds biggest smokers yet they don’t contribute to VAT abi? Recharge cards,fuel e,t,c is only sold in the south abi? Come to think of it dangote is the biggest employer of labour asides government yet the north contributes nothing abi? HABA!

Nigeria”s bad image! Aah aah what has this got to do with the north?if anyone looks down on you because of the green passport the reason is quite simple,southern prostitution, southern visa racketeering, southern drug peddling, southern yahoo(which is now glorified in their music), southern 419, southern forgery, and southern fellows who because of low self esteem leave their country in droves to become second class citizens in another men’s country! If things are so bad in the country why not stick around and contribute your own positive part? If Americans or the Japanese had left their countries in droves like that to become fishermen in others country will their country be what it is today?

You people should hold your peace and leave the north alone! If an individual does something hold the individual responsible and leave the north alone!
Your governors are there,if you are so good develop at your own pace instead of looking northwards to apportion blame atleast that’s what Fashola is doing.
Remove the log in your eyes before you struggle with the toothpick in another mans eye!

MY NEW HERO!!!!!!!

keba:
if all that has been narrated by sisikill ventures to happen in the affairs
of nollywood, nna men nobody go act again oohhh

Hmmmm, interesting. Say. . . how do you suppose I can get this kinda things to start happening with naija movies? Oh don't worry, you'll thank me later.

kadman:
Really good work Sisiskill.
I noticed the Soul Men curse the day Issac Hayes died when i was on Dlisted. But I don't care much for either 3 of them, that's why I didn't bother posting.
I remember Rosemary's Baby scandal. Sharon Tate would have been a great actress if she wasn't killed so soon. Have you seen her in Valley Of The Dolls ? That was a classic.

Thank you sir ^{(all I did was copy and paste but don't tell anyone )} I love Rosemary's Baby. You know how when as an adult you watch old horror movies that scared the bejeebus out of you as a child and you go "Are you kidding me with this crap?" Not with Rosemary's baby. Someone sold their soul to the devil to make that movie. Nah, I haven't seen Valley of the Dolls. . . I read the book awhile back.

You got to dlisted??!! Okay where do you live coz I'm sending the CDC over to your place stat!! That place is not for the faint-hearted, you sir have my utmost respect, still sending the CDC over but with respect!!!

More Cursed Movies

"Incubus,"

Directed by "The Outer Limits" creator Leslie Stevens, made a minor splash on the underground film scene right after its release in 1966. Few know, however, that the real-life story of the film and its aftermath rivals the on-screen horror. Murder, suicide and kidnapping, for a start. And the movie itself, decades later, seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.

The Incubus was played by Milos Milos, in 1966 he murdered his girlfriend and shot himself.

The Incubus -- a lumbering, craggy-faced giant -- was played by Milos Milos, a buff actor from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, who'd spent some time as a stand-in for decadent French superstar Alain Delon.

Ann Atmar, a sometime girlie-magazine model played William Shatner’s sister in the movie. She committed suicide a few weeks after the film wrapped up.

A few years after the film was released, the daughter of the woman who played the elder sister succubus, Eloise Hardt, was kidnapped from her Los Angeles driveway and murdered. Her body was discovered a few weeks later in the Hollywood Hills.

Director Steven’s production company, Daystar, went belly up not long after the movie was released. (He ended up marrying Allyson Ames, who played the young succubus. The couple later divorced. Stevens passed away from complications of a blood clot on the heart in 1998.)

Atuk (Unreleased)

Atuk is a "hilarious" fish out of water screenplay about an Eskimo who comes to New York. It was never filmed however because people in Hollywood just don't know a good thing when they see it. Oh and also, it killed John Belushi.

Belushi had read the script and was interested in the role when he died of a drug overdose in 1982. So what, right? But everything, as Einstein once said, is relative. And everything, as a Cracked editor once said, can be made to look like it's connected for the purposes of a comedy article.

After Belushi's death the lead role went to comedian Sam Kinison. Numerous problems delayed production, Kinison demanded parts of the movie be re-written and production was halted. A few years passed, the script remained cursed and Kinison died in a car crash. The curse had apparently struck again.

The film's lead role was then passed to John Candy in 1994. Candy took the script completely unaware that it was cursed (Read: a fish out of water comedy about an Eskimo) and promptly died of a heart attack. The screenplay was buried in Hollywood somewhere and all chubby comedians swore to stay clear of the film for good.

The Conqueror
At one point a flash flood nearly killed the entire crew.

Having survived that, lead actress Susan Hayward survived an attack by a black panther.

91 of the 220 of the crew developed cancer after being exposed to a nuclear fallout during filming. 46 of them died.

One of the stars Pedro Armendariz commited suicide

'The Misfits' 1961

The troubles on this film began during production, which encountered delays and problems from the excessive heat of its Black Rock Desert locations. But the real problems came from the film's three major stars: Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. Monroe was battling a growing substance abuse problem, Clift battled his own personal demons and the 59-year-old Gable, who insisted on performing his own stunts, was quoted at the conclusion of filming as saying, "I'm glad this picture's finished. [Monroe] damn near gave me a heart attack." He suffered a major heart attack the next day and died 11 days later.

Clift slid further into his drug habit and died in 1966; Monroe died from a drug overdose in 1962. "The Misfits" was the last major film for all three actors.

'The Passion of the Christ'

They say lightning doesn't strike twice, unless you're on the set of Mel Gibson's controversial film. With rumors of anti-Semitism and lines spoken only in Aramaic and Latin, the movie seemed to carry the curse of bad publicity from the start.

Jim Caviezel admitted the film was his own cross to carry as he suffered hypothermia, a separated shoulder and was accidentally whipped twice, leaving a scar. But these things happen in extreme movie shoots. When production assistant Jan Michelini, bearing an umbrella in the midst of a storm, was first struck by lightning, it seemed bad luck. However, he earned the title "Lightning Boy" and the reputation for a film-set curse when he was struck a second time, sharing the strike with Caviezel, whom he was trying to protect with an umbrella atop a hill.

I want to say inanity but I think at this point, insanity is too mild!!

It’s the kids I pity, imagine watching your dad bludgeon your mother to death!

And then having to grow up knowing your mother is dead and father in jail for killing her.

How do you get over that?!!!

Loooooong Sigh

Are these all our options?

It's all about numbers.

If one country has only 3 people representing them and America has 500 people in every competition from track to spitting. . . of course they are gonna dominate.

naijacutee:
I have long stopped replying to threads like these but please allow me indulge this once.

In addition to davidylan's post concerning people's obsession with God, can I just wonder why so many half-baked religious critics will stop at nothing to pick at straws, searching all corners of the internet for weak weapons of purposefully written jargon -  designed to spite religion, with particularly sharpened edges teasing at Christianity? Correct me if I'm wrong, but of all religious material that ever existed, never has any being so aggressively interrogated as the Bible - By people who read it with the doors of their minds firmly shut, while they skim through chapters, looking for sentences to add to their "evidence book". If you ask me, I will revert to the proverb "Around a flowering tree, one finds many insects." There must be something in this flowering tree called Christianity, that is pricking the minds of many, and has brought many insects from far and wide - right from when Jesus was 2!.

As for the person who was talking about God demanding money: When pastors collect 5 offerings in church, and the next day you see them in flashy cars - wouldn't it be foolish to assume that "God" demanded your money? Just because the pastor said something, doesn't always mean that God said so - Maybe the pastor knew that by putting the word "God" in the same sentence as "give", he would get more donations? He's human and used his brain, and position to collect your money and you are calling God into the situation? Why don't you use your own brain and position as the owner of the said monies, to judge how God really wants you to use your money for Him?

A Hint of how to give to God from the horses mouth:
(Matthew 25)
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

P.S: It is good you put the word  "truth" in quotes.

As soon as I finished reading your post, I went “Drats! I think I may have shot myself in the foot”  because apart from two points I'll talk about, I agree with you, especially on the money giving part.

Before I go into that, I have to say how GLAD I am you noticed the “Truth” in quotes because I did that to show where I stood, unfortunately some people didn’t get it and that’s why I was automatically classified as someone without God. To be quite honest, I found this really funny. LOL, Oh my, now that would make things so a lot easier. . . to be able to tell who is Godful [/i]and who is [i]Godless based by what they post on a forum. On the other hand, I suppose we should be grateful this isn’t the way God will choose his people coz I imagine he’s gonna walk away with just a handful.

The two things I mentioned kinda go hand in hand, You said you had stopped replying threads like this and you also used the word CRITIC. I suppose it’s because you think anyone who posts thread like this is a critic, that you have stopped replying and I honestly don’t blame you. I’ve read this section long enough to know what goes on, I realize everyone gets worn down by the constant attacks on the net and at times in our day to day lives, but we cannot assume everyone is out to attack our faith and be so defensive all the time. There are some who genuinely want to know things, now I’m not saying people MUST answer them, all I’m saying is IF anyone  chooses to answer, don’t automatically assume they are Godless or have sinister motives If the purpose is to bring others to God/Allah and IF it is truly about caring for the salvation of others, If it is genuine concern shouldn’t the approach be kinder to leading them to the truth? If the intent is to correct wrong thinking, inaccurate data, shine the light on the word of God, we won’t be having as many arguments as we do on this section, maybe I’m naive but this is what I truly believe. In my opinion, the problem comes not from our different belief system but from people trying to get one over the other, playing verbal like a tennis match, for some people the only way they can feel “up” is to put others down and if you take an even closer look, you’ll see that for some, it is no longer about defending God or Allah or Jesus or Mohammed or The Church or The mosque or the Vatican and the Pope, it’s more about flexing their extra-ordinary prowess in quoting the Koran/Bible

While surfing the net, trying to learn more on the Sun God and I stumbled on a website (I’ll try to find the link later and post it) where a heated debate between two groups was in progress. On one hand, were the Jesus is the sun god and it has been astrologically proven and on the other side were the Jesus is not a sun god and it's just a coincidence that they share birthdays.  This argument had gone on for months with people attacking each other, finally this person comes on and says “Jesus can’t be the sun god, astrology does not play a part in the story of his birth because Jesus was not born on December 25th, that day was chosen to stomp out the pagan celebration of the sun gods” he also provided some sources and just like that he brought the entire argument to halt. Of course people being people, there were posts after his calling him all sorts, getting personal but he never responded. A month or so after, someone came back with more questions and he gladly supplied them to the best of his ability., showing how easy to differentiate between knowledge seekers and trouble makers and how to handle them. Why am I saying this, I guess in a way, I’m trying to convince you not to ignore these threads because you think it must have been started by a critic/trouble maker. . .  you never know who is reading. You said it yourself, Christianity has been put through the ringer countless times, in every which way and it has always come out on top. Honestly, to me this is EXACTLY why there’s no reason to get overly defensive, this is the reason why Christians should not feel threatened by other religions or beliefs. People with greater knowledge, greater resources. . . Greater everything have been there and what do they have to show for it?

I like your proverb "Around a flowering tree, one finds many insects” and how you related to Christianity. There must be something flowing about Christianity, that’s why people are always picking it apart, while turning a blind eye to the other religions. If indeed, this is true and there are more people trying to debunk Christianity than all the other religions, then I’m sorry but why do some Christians take offense it? LOL, don’t you see, that is should be the ULTIMATE sign that there is something good in there. How many people waste time on inconsequential things? Why would anyone want to? LOL, Do you see what I mean?

There’s no denying I have issues with religion but it comes from what people do in the name of religion. I feel religion separates us as human beings. What I find truly ironic is that people use “Defending Religions ”  (thinking it is the same thing as Defending GOD) as an excuse to be mean, rude and downright nasty to other people when at the end of the day, Religions is just a path to God. . . Who does not need us to defend him, in the first place.

Just to be clear, I started this thread because I found the topic interesting and wanted to read other people thoughts on it. I did not come to go 10 rounds in the ring with anyone, I have no interest in trying to change anyone’s belief, I don’t feel I’m adequately equipped to say who will make it to heaven and who won’t make it. Don’t get me wrong, there are other areas of life where I don’t mind getting down and dirty, where I actually do look forward to it but not here, definitely not here and if it means I lack substance, well stick a label on me and I call me whatever the heck someone lacking substance is called. . . I promise I’ll even answer. 

Well that’s it for me.


PS
I used Critic/Trouble Maker because I went on the assumption that you mean people whose intentions are to disrupt, dismiss and demean.





KarmMod
Am I out of the dog house now?

@KarmaMod
Lol. . . Okay, okay go easy on the tapping. Sooo. . .




@Davidylan
Rotflmao. . . My God, you truly are wonderfully made. Most of my threads are about me? Lmao! I can see why you'd say that, I mean there is no doubt the thread about the school girls getting raped, was totally me projecting and the one about Bernie Mac dying is because I wished to take his place, oh the with the movie curse. . . Yep, can't deny what that is all about.

LMAO. . . See, now THAT is exactly why I like reading your posts, you always have a way of taking things to a whole other playing field, it's quite educational, I must say.
