I tend to look at people who belittle emotions and sentiments as ignorant people. Even when someone they don’t agree with is saying something perfectly logical, they classify it as emotional. Everything that does not fall in line with your point of view is emotional. You’re the only logical ones around. First of all emotions are very important and should play into our discussion because how else can you empathize with people?
Maybe you’re the one who needs to learn
.

I just pity you

cococandy:
that’s what you call speaking up? Choosing a time when someone is complaining of being raped or assaulter to campaign against it? That’s classic disguised victim shaming

Emotions and sentiments seem to get the better of you.

The drivers were not just protesting the rape case at hand! Please, go and learn the meaning of this phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back" because this ra*pe case was the straw.

cococandy:
Okay then. Let’s trust the court to serve justice in this case.
Instead of trying to indirectly shut people up for speaking up

Ironic, how you called people "1diots" for speaking up.

But yes, the court case will be interesting

Ishilove, come and defend your daddy

cococandy:
It’s the same bias that is working against that girl. Once they heard nigerian actress, her case was sealed. It wouldn’t matter if she brings a video showing him raping her, she would still be at fault.

They already assumed she feels like she’s better than him. Add that to inbred misogyny and you can already see why she won’t win in the court of public opinion.

Do I believe he tried to rape her (as in peniss in vaginaa kind of rape)? Honestly np because I don’t know if he would be that stupid. But he might have grabbed her for whatever reason and that is classic assault if he did. You don’t touch people without their permission. However it should be left to the court to decide since they have gone there. She did say she has more video that she will only present in court. So until then I reserve my judgement on the guy himself. I can’t even call him an assaulter.

It’s the people who always have a problem with women or people who claim assault that the bad guys in this situation. And they are the people all over this thread calling people olosho. Their voices silence those who would like to speak up.

Correction.

The actress was in his car. He has already claimed that the girl did not want to exit the car.

The guy has a right to defend his property, especially if he states that he was afraid that the girl could do damage to it.

The law in this case is not as clear as you think it is.

Daeylar:
They couldn't counter your points, so they decided to pick a part of your words, twist it and use it to start attacking you,

LMAO

ROTFLMAO

Na their work

Supporters club, I hail oo!

Her points were clearly countered. Shilling is a dishonest way of living.

cococandy:
@bold is that what they told you? Because I didn’t see that in the OP. Maybe you’re privy to some info that we don’t have.

If they have been getting bad reps, maybe they should fix their problem internally. I have been severally groped and physically harassed by strange men in public places in Nigeria in broad day light . Some of these men have jobs some of which include being taxi drivers. So yes maybe those of them who have been accused actually did something wrong. If they can’t correct what they are doing wrong, their protest is useless. A guy will grab your arm in the public just to ‘talk’ to you. And they carry those attitudes into the taxi business. And we are supposed to shut up because one girl everybody doesn’t like or are jealous of accused one of them? Spare me the nonsense.

Let’s act like we don’t have a rape/sexual harassment culture in Nigeria because all of you don’t like this particular girl.

No one is denying that our culture overlooks many critical issues that should address rape/molestation.

The fact is that you were not ready to understand the plight of the taxi drivers. And also, the ra*pe case in particular is sketchy.

cococandy:
What the eff are you on about?

Who’s talking about social status, job, employment and all the other stuff you typed up there? Where did that come from?

You’re the one who clearly has a problem with their job or sees a problem with it if you can go about making assumptions from thin air.
I called them idiots because they are protesting for no reason except that a guy was accused and they don’t even know if he did it or not. They just want to protest because of their usual victim blaming.

I’m sure you have seen me call buhari an idiot before. Why didn’t you assume I was doing because I felt he’s beneath me? Shows you that you’re the one with the problem not me. Fix it.

Where I am, being a taxi driver is a very honorable job. Don’t come at me with that Nigerian nonsense where you give people respect based on the type of job they do. If a senator/legislator fvcks up here, I’ll write her or him a direct letter and call them out on the bullshyte . No money or status worshipping for me. Find someone else to pick on.

Are you related to ishi-love? This your gra-gra is something else!

Please learn to admit mistakes. They have every right to protest. Taxi drivers have been getting a bad rep for some time now and this latest ra*pe accusation is the straw that broke the camel's back. They didnt just protest because of just one ra*pe case but for many stereotypes and unfair accusations against them.

Calling them !diots just makes it look like you didnt think before commenting

Butterflyl1on and felixomor won't like this

A lot of Christians do not understand logic.

Niflheim:
@superhumanist,


Yes, there is something wrong with Christianity today(just as there was always something wrong with Christianity from day one)!!!

Only this time around, they are finally diving into "unchartered depths of stupidity"!!!

It seems like it has become harder for pastors to fleece the sheeple. The internet is destroying ignorance while competing churches also steal some sheep away.

They have to be crazier nowadays to entertain their sheeple

Niflheim:
@superhumanist,


Do not follow the fake christian reports that claim that North Korea is irreligious.........................................they are probably the most religious country in the world!!!


Please read the following link.Juche is modelled after the religion of the Old Testament:..............................http://www.billionbibles.org/north-korea/juche-religion.html

They worship their supreme leader aka Kim Jong

Man2utd:
Call it whatever you like, but he is just a man who lost it..

The guy is a Christian terrorist

Ferisidowu:
lol, although to be sincere, some religionists have lost priority

but then the atheist who boasts advanced knowledge or who claims to be more enlightened should leave the religionists alone now....

i can't leave what I have to do to start chasing shadows

atheist don't believe in Satan na,,, if someone calls them agent of Satan which is a fable to them, why run around?

If someone tells me to burn in hell, I am not afraid of the hell but rather the hatred of the person who said it.

Some Muslims no get shame.

See as dem run commot thread!

Ferisidowu:
lol same here ooo

they are the biggest hypocrites I know.... I mean the ones on nairaland

they will use the whole of their lives to explain something that's false to them

Stop the hypocrisy.

If atheists are attacking religion, they are doing it as a defence against attacks from religious people in the first place.

Is it today? Religious people have been cursing unbelievers from the beginning of time. Curse tolhem to hell. Call them fools. Claim that God will punish them. Call the agents of Satan.

butterflyl1on:
LMAO dummy!

You say morality is BIOLOGICALLY ingrained in us? I guess flying must also be biologically ingrained in rats.

Dumbest post of the year so far right here.

There are things we learn with instinct and not conscious thought.

ScienceWatch:
Butterflyl1on's dialogue on this issue is incredibly brilliant. You seem determined to miss the point. Summing up your confusing contribution I must add that No intelligence is negative-intelligence.

Story for the gods.

You can praise butterflyl1on from now till the end times but it won't change the fact that his argument on negative faith was quite foolish.

Daviddson:
The devil is perfectly good at deceiving people with fake, short-term signs. OP, you just became victim of that.

If your God does not want to help him why shouldnt the devil?

A useless father will always lose his children to strangers.....

Ishilove:
I won't exactly call Nigeria a shithole for this particular reason, because Lagos was able to effectively contain the ebola virus whose spread would have been catastrophic. The state where this happened is the shithole. Those in authority probably squandered the funds meant the facilities and equipment.

We were lucky. We were not prepared, we were not equipped. We were just lucky that a smart doctor was able to isolate patient zero early enough.

There are many ways the Ebola outbreak could have been worse. What if patient zero came in by road?

johnydon22:
No.

Cannot be described as rape as it will be a mockery of rape victims.

It will just be treated as using someone's property without permission




Depends what the partners regard as cheating..



No



Still No

Sex dolls have no age even if it looks like a day old baby the fact remains it has no aged quantified in human age index



I don't see why not rather the name "Sex workers" comes more into question than Beothel

I seem to agree with most of what you have posted except for one point- the dolls in a brothel are indeed sex workers if they are the only workers in the brothel.....

enilove:
Sex doll is idolatry

Deuteronomy 4:16 KJV
Lest ye corrupt yourselves , and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,.....

Sleeping with a doll will corrupt your soul.

Oga, stop remixing scriptures! That is old testament.

budaatum:
I think I get it, I think.

No money is negative money, so one would say, "butter has negative naira in his pocket", instead of "he is broke".

No sense is negative sense.


Butterflyl1on, you have negative sense!

hopefulLandlord:
you really have the time to go on Merry go round with someone trying hard to sound philosophical

I believed that he had some sense.

butterflyl1on:
Common sense indeed isn't common.

Lack simply means to be without or be deficient. Deficiency does not mean absolutely it simply means that lack has degrees to it. This is why not all atheists agree that God does not exist. They say God MAY exist but Yahweh does not exist. They call themselves agnostic atheists. Their lack of belief is deficient but not absolute.

Negative itself is not always absolute but also in degrees. There is an absolute negative and there is a negative that isn't absolute.

In the case of faith (positive) and negative faith it's all about what you hold on to as your position of conviction.

I believe the existence of God Is a positive thing so I have positive faith in his existence

You believe the existence of God is a negative thing so drew your conviction of his lack of existence based on all the negatives you probably see around you so you lack the belief in his existence which makes yours a negative faith.

Like I said, it's all about me Vs you perspective or a you Vs me perspective. From your side you see me as a negative and you as a positive. From my side I see you as a negative and me as a positive but either way it is based on a personal experiential evidence available to either of us which is not universally verifiable.

You really need to stop the rubbish way of reasoning you possess.

What was all that

This your style of writing epistles that have no meaning

butterflyl1on:
You are beyond daft. When did an analogy about faith become an analogy about God and drugs? Are you sure you are not a robot who rubbish goes into and rubbish comes out of?

I am making an analogy about faith and its variants using drugs and you are talking about me comparing drugs to God. Indeed a lot of non intelligent people are everywhere on nairaland.

If I wish to talk about faith and God this is how I will do so right now. You say YOU DO NOT BELIEVE GOD EXISTS or YOU LACK THE BELIEF THAT GOD EXISTS . now this is simply word play because all I need to do is switch the words around like this

YOU BELIEVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST. Let me put it side by side for easier comparison

YOU LACK THE BELIEF THAT GOD EXISTS
YOU BELIEVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST

LACK SIMPLY MEANS BEING WITHOUT OR NOT HAVING WHICH IS A NEGATIVE.

so you have negative faith. Your lack of belief in the existence of God came from a personal non universal experience which cannot be empirically verified.

If your level of reasoning is very low it is not any fault of mine. It simply means you need to do all you can to raise it up which unfortunately your comments here show that even in that department, you are deficient (ANOTHER NEGATIVE).

Why are you wrongly applying mathematical philosophy to real life?

Negatives in the sense of being less than zero do not apply to many things in real life. Either you have it or you don't.

If you don't have a car, would you say that you have a negative car.

What if you don't have a car, and you destroy 2 lother people's cars, would you even say that you have 2 negative cars?

Stop the nonsense.
