maclatunji: @Aishaquest, I was only interested in commenting on the mode of address of the poster I engaged. Sometimes, you want others to have their say and just observe.

Hmmm. I wonder how you choose where to comment on the op and where to "let others have their say".

Wait...what?

What

God forgive me. I couldn't resist just one more.

Don't pretend you don't see it.

Restaurant signs

"We touch the ones you care about most"

princealbashir: What did you see?

Ignorance.

imustsaymymindo: Hello!

Hi...who is this?

plaetton: I can't believe that a man can so shameless as to publicly boast of enjoying the avails of prostitution.
Na wa

I can't believe any guy would consider sleeping with a prostitute safe sex. Unless of course he doesn't care about safe sex. In which case, he is welcome to all that entails.

"Rolls eyes"

I was raised by my Dad, so yeah he bought them all for me.

I was standing in a quay with my dad and bro one day, waiting. There were people all around us. I steped over to a magazine rack nearby. A moment later I here my dad speaking loudly, "G****, do you need tampons or anything?" I suddenly wished the floor would open and swallow me up.

gnykelly: stop posting and God will bless you.

Love?

UyiIredia: It's been sometime I checked them. I'm somewhat occupied. And don't forget my phone was stolen.

Well I've sent you 2 emails checking up on you. I worry you know.

Lol...No really...Tell us how you really feel? Geez

UyiIredia: Fair enough.

Hey...You don't answer emails anymore sef?

UyiIredia: Your suggestions are good but there are factors which hinder them. In fact, my parents attempted some of these techniques; for example, we had a family forum where everyone aired their views. and why I preferred my mum to my DD was because she was the go-to person. The factors are as follows

1) Lack of patience on the side of parents
2) The presence of bad influence on the part of kids
3) Lack of availability of the parents due to the need to earn a living amongst other things
4) I should also add that trends in the wider society will rub off on kids. Some kids are smarter, some are stronger but kids are inquisitive and intuitive. As you yourself said, they watch us.

What you suggest will be easier to achieve in a village setting or for parents who are fortunate to have a flexible schedule. For working class people, it's difficult.

If you can't afford kids don't have them.

UyiIredia: Sometimes cussing and spanking are necessary, though one must be very careful with cursing, words are very powerful and many African parents are too quick to curse, I didn't like it but I did realize that it was for my good; though sometimes I was sure my parents were in the wrong. On some occasions they flogged me when angry; then there was the unrealistic expectation they would flog me in my 20's. I was never going to allow that.

Fact is, that flogging or not kids will be stubborn. But a kid who isn't given some spanking is more likely not to be moved by life's hard knocks. We have these psychopaths, it's best we don't breed them. What I will strongly speask against is torture; what some parents do in the name of discipline is unacceptable.

Are you serious? I can't imagine EVER cussing at a child. Talk less my own child.

UyiIredia: I'll read the article but believe it or not Tex, corporal punishment has its place here. People dey too stubborn for here and dats just it. However, being an elder son, I can authoritatively say force doesn't always work though sometimes it's necessary; sometimes one must simply leave people to life or try to talk gently. Flogging to me was preferable to insults. Staying in a spot and hearing all your flaws and insults can be really depressing; that I wouldn't want to do to anyone; cuz I didn't like it. I partially agree with the statement because the last statement is something I strongly disagree with.

Once you read the article come back and let me know what you think. I did not say corporal punishment is wrong. Nor did I say it should not be used. I simply gave alternatives.

It's too late for me. What do you think?

Isn't "swinging Christian" an oxymoron?

pweetyz: Well..i'm in support of emma's speech but the truth is that females can never be equal to the males,because we were created to be under them..and i'll prove this from the bible

in the book of proverbs 31:10-31..it is written that silence and humility should be the virtues that a woman possesses..it states that women are not to have authority over men as Adam was created first and as it was eve who was deceived and who broke Gods law...please read it up for a better understanding
in 1st corinthians 11..here God makes known man's superiority over the woman..he states that a woman reflects the glory of man..and that women where created from men and not men from women..also read up yourself
in 1st peter 3:1..the bible tells us that women are to be submissive to men and that they are also the weaker vessels..also read up

we also see what the bible states in our every day activities..in sports,the lighter javelin,discuss and shot put is given to them..they are also given lighter weights to lift whike working out and the best male in a field of sport is always better than the best female..and hefty activities are also reserved for the male sex

i don't really know much about feminist but i know what they fight for and also want them to know that according to the words of the bible and the nature of females..THERE CAN NEVER BE EQUALITY OF THE SEXES as God has placed the males above the females in every endeavour in life..
this however does not imply that women cannot excel exceedingly in their respective careers..
i am opposed to the unequal pay rate though..because it is injustice which God opposes as everyone should get what they duly deserve..if a woman should work as hard as a man does or even better..why not an equal pay or even higher
the male sex tends to take advantage of the females vulnerable nature which is just so wrong as the bible advises that men treat women with care because of their vulnerabilty
thank you

Does your "proof" apply to everyone, or just those who believe the Bible?
