Chidexter: It is not hygeinic, instead of sucking it why not use a handkerchief
You can't use a handkerchief for that small a baby.The baby can't blow and you can't get in the nostrils.

e same bible.

How long do they need to keep on being
reminded of the same thing, is this a case of ever learning and never knowing?
Sadly some never learn.

tpia1: Any man who has to depend on others to tell him before he knows and practices the biblical standard of marriage which essentially states love your neighbour as yourself, will soon know what's up.
sometimes people need to be taught.You know faith commeth by hearing.

Foreign Affairs › Re: SEE The Punishment For Reading A Bible In Saudi Arabia [photos] by thorpido(m): 9:55am On Jul 14, 2014
vedaxcool: There is no Vex part of my username, I am shocked by your allegation!!
Vex from Ve..x.... U usually come raging on Islamic threads rather than analyse and objectively counter issues raised as you have just done.
Foreign Affairs › Re: SEE The Punishment For Reading A Bible In Saudi Arabia [photos] by thorpido(m): 8:16am On Jul 14, 2014
vedaxcool: The disturbing set of photographs shown above has now been circulating via email, blogs and forums for several years. According to the explanation that accompanies the images, they depict an 8 year old child being punished under Islamic law for stealing bread from a market in Iran. The message claims that the images show the boy's arm being deliberately crushed by a car wheel as retribution for his crime, all in the name of Islam.

However, as is often the case with images that circulate cyberspace, things are not what they seem. While the photographs themselves are genuine, the event they show had nothing whatsoever to do with Islamic law and was not a punishment for stealing. In reality, the stunt was a street performance conducted for the entertainment of onlookers. The photographs were originally published on the Iranian news website Peykeiran. According to information published on the Little Green Footballs blog, a reader who contacted Peykeiran about the images received the following reply:

It seems you have not read the text that came with the pictures. In irna there some who earn their bread by Maareke giry. In our case one of these maarke gir _ha had hired a kid to do those unhuman show.

The first photograph in the series shows a man talking into a microphone and this collaborates the claim that the event is part of a street performance. It appears that the microphone wielding "host" is explaining the stunt to onlookers.

Moreover, most versions of the protest message omit the seventh photograph in the series, which shows the boy sitting up after the stunt, apparently with no serious injuries. Thus, the claim in the message that the boy permanently lost the use of his arm is clearly untrue.

Furthermore, although strict interpretations of Islamic Sharia law do call for amputation or cutting of hands as punishment for stealing, it is unlikely that such a punishment would be carried out on an 8 year old child who only stole bread. Various references point out that one of the conditions that regulate penalties for stealing is that the thief must have reached puberty before a severe penalty would be enforced. Other references suggest that the maximum penalty of hand-cutting may not be carried out on a person who stole minor or inexpensive items, especially if the person stole only food because he was hungry. There are many credible references that describe the Sharia Law maximum penalty for stealing as the possible amputation or cutting of the thief's hands. However, I could find none that described the crushing of the thief's arm under a car or any other heavy object.

https://www.hoax-slayer.com/images/iran-boy-after-stunt.jpg

Thus, it seems that this long running diatribe against Islam is simply the result of a misinterpretation of the event depicted in the photographs.

Of course, even without the erroneous religious interpretation that has been placed on it, many would consider it reprehensible to use a young child in what appears to be a dangerous, painful and frightening stunt, even if the child was paid for his participation. However, forwarding the email in its present form will do nothing to help this child or others like him.

The obvious excesses and human rights violations perpetrated by such groups as the Taliban under the umbrella of Sharia Law quite rightly generate intense debate and condemnation from many commentators. But, muddying the waters with misinformation such as that contained in this email forward is decidedly counter-productive and will serve only to widen divisions and foster even more hatred and misunderstanding in our already strife-torn world.

For the first time you choose to be objective.The 'vex' part of your moniker overides objectivity usually in your posts.
Family › Re: At What Point Do You Think God Has A Hand In A Marriage ? by thorpido(m): 4:50pm On Jul 13, 2014
God's hand in marriage depends on if the couple invite Him from the beginning and if they choose to walk with Him in the course of their marriage.
The bible also shows us the fruits of the Spirit; love,patience,longsuffering,temperance etc.These virtues are necessary for marriage.

The success of a marriage or otherwise will depend on how much you involve God and walk in His word.He is not an intruder.

You married a man child.Didn't you guys spend enough time on courtship to know him?
Well communication is key and you two should spend enough time talking and discussing issues.

If your husband has a thing for housegirls,maybe you should look for a houseboy or you cope with the house chores.

^^^It is not low sperm count.

It is Semen and not sperm(you can't see sperm).
The viscousity of semen does not determine if the individual has low sperm count or not.Only a lab investigation can determine that.
The thickness of semen varies from one individual to another.Sometimes it could even change in the same individual depending on certain factors.
Nairaland General › Re: Girl Born Without A Face by thorpido(m): 10:54am On Jul 11, 2014
To all those mocking God,you don't understand how the world works.
Not everything that goes on in this earth can be ascribed to God.There are three kingdoms that govern this earth;
The Kingdom of God
The kingdom of satan and
The kingdom of men

The three kingdoms can change the course of an event.

This girl's mother could have been on some drugs not good for pregnant women.She could also have been exposed to radiation or something like that.

Lady,posters above me have said it all.I'll just like to emphasise that you quit living in that illusion of having your baby daddy coming back.
My assessment of him is that he won't make any positive impact in your life.There are many women who had a child and got married to another man and made the best of their marriage.
Look front and stop looking back.

Culture › Re: Reliance On Divine Intervention: An Excuse For Laziness by thorpido(m): 8:04am On Jul 09, 2014
Op,your post though raises salient points may create an erroneous impression too.
The word of God is clear on divine intervention.The Bible says he that does not work should not eat(2 Tess.3).The bible also says faith without works is dead(James 2:17)The dependence on divine intervention never encourages laziness.
The fact that some may walk in error or ignorance of something does not take away the truth or power behind it.

It is the spirit that quickeneth,the flesh profiteth nothing(John 6:63).

Stillfire: Nigerian men are not satisfied or happy in their marriages until the woman suffers, struggles and literally dies in her struggles. A woman must go through the above to garner praises from them. There is a sadistic lust for dejection and abject poverty in their psyche. Tufiakwa!
When u make comments like this,learn not to generalise.You can say,'the Nigerian men I have dated' or 'the Nigerian men I have met'.
I am a Nigerian man.

Mogidi: Its not been disproved by Tinubu's media people.
Don't you think this kind of rumour is unworthy of a media statement?He has some health challenges but many people do,so it's no big deal.
IBB suffers from neuropathy and that explains why he needs a stick now.
I can tell you authoritatively that Tinubu does not suffer from incontinence.

Rumour has it Tinubu suffers from incontinence, (the word for shii.ting on yourself).

Sad to think with all Tinubu's money he can't control his (poo) incontinence.
Rumour you said?

Your story is not clear but if I can juggle your words,u are saying that the money the guy has been contributing as 'ajo' was collected by the wife and used to pay debts?

Well the wife obviously borrowed to give the husband and that debt must be paid.I think they should put heads together on how to manage their finances-settle debts,run biz...
