Education / Plenty Facts About Zombies by watchman111: 11:28pm On Feb 02, 2015
1. The word “zombie” is related to the African
word nzambi , which means “god.” The Grand
Serpent, the “Le Grand Zombi,” was the father of
all “laos,” or other gods, and appeared in the
shape of a python. b
2. October 8th is World Zombie Day. a
3. There are basically two theories on the origin
of zombies: 1) a cursed person dies and returns as
a zombie, and 2) a person contracts a virus or is
exposed to radiation.g
4. Mummies are not usually regarded as zombies
because while zombies are in a constant state of
decay, mummies are deliberately physically
preserved. a
5. According to zombie lore, the only way to kill a
zombie is to damage its brain or cut off its head. g
6. Because viruses are not independent living
organisms and need a living organism to
reproduce, a “zombie virus” could be considered a
misnomer because zombies are generally thought
to be dead. a
7. While the causes and depictions of zombies
throughout history have varied, one element links
them: they all have compromised brains. c
8. George A. Romero is often referred to as the
“Father of the Modern Zombie” and is widely
viewed as the creator of the modern zombie
cinema. He has written and directed more zombie
films that anyone in history. c
9. Modern
conceptions of
zombies originally
began with voodoo
religion in the West
African Yorubi tribe
and then traveled with
captured slaves to the
Caribbean island of
Haiti , a busy slave center in the 1700s. e
10. Prolific zombie filmmaker George A. Romero’s
first paid directing job was filming Mr. Rogers’
tonsillectomy for Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.
Romero said this project somehow inspired him to
pursue a career in horror films. a
11. Critics note that George Romero’s zombie
films are great because they use zombies as a
device for social commentary. In other words, they
are not movies about zombies, but rather about
groups of human beings and how they react in
crises. c
12. A parasitic fungus, a species of
Ophiocordycep s, effectively turns ants into
zombies. A recent study found that the fungus can
synchronize several ants to bite down
simultaneously on the underside of a leaf and then
die. The fungus then sprouts through the dead
ants’ bodies.a
13. According to Haitian folklore, feeding salt to a
zombie will restore the person to freedom. That
doesn’t mean the zombie will become a living
person again but, rather, that the body will return
to the grave. d
14. The most famous “real-
life” zombie is Haitian
Clairvius Narcisse. He claimed
he was turned into a zombie
by a combination of powerful
neurotoxins and
hallucinogens. b
15. There is a law in Haiti that
makes it a crime to turn
someone into a zombie.
Article 249 states that if
someone drugs another
person, buries him as though
he were dead, and then digs the person up and
brings him back to life, it is still considered
murder. a
16. A disease called Yaws can actually make
people look like zombies. The disease causes
painful, oozing sores on the face, legs, arms, and
feet. The painful wounds on the bottoms of the
feet sometimes cause a sufferer to walk in a slow,
zombie-like shuffle. b
17. Besides being able to move after they are
dead, zombies do not have superpowers. In fact,
zombies actually have fewer abilities than they did
when they were living human beings. a
18. The abbreviation RLF stand for “reanimated
life form,” which is another way of saying
“zombie.” a
19. In the case of a zombie outbreak, generic
weapons are always preferable to custom or rare
firearms with rarer forms of ammunition. a
20. In the case of a zombie outbreak, a person’s
physical fitness will have a significant influence
on a person’s odds of surviving. a
21. Zombies may have the
trademark zombie limp
because their bodies are
affected by the same
decomposition process as any
normal corpse. Additionally,
rigor mortis would cause
serious tissue and muscle
damage at the zombie’s each
step. Since zombies do not
regenerate or heal, any
damage is permanent.
Eventually, a zombies’ top
speed would be reduced to a
crawl and perhaps even slow to the point where it
could not move. b
22. Some critics theorize that zombies prefer the
taste of human flesh (if they can taste anything)
because warm human flesh may have to do with a
zombie virus needing fresh DNA or some parasitic
microorganism receiving some form of
nourishment from live blood cells. a
23. While vampires are fast, strong, difficult to
kill, relatively intelligent, and able to regenerate,
zombies are slow, rather weak, easy to kill, and
dumb. Any wound or damage they receive is
permanent. So, in a fight between a zombie and
vampire, the vampire would most likely win. b
24. Zombie fans debate whether how long it
would take a person who died from a zombie virus
to reanimate. Theories put the moment of
reanimation between a few minutes to several
hours. b
25. Experts note that in order to survive a zombie
attack, it is imperative to follow a few guidelines:
1) do not take shelter in a vehicle in which you do
not have the keys, 2) do not leave weapons out for
zombies to find, 3) do not give your only weapon
to a hysterical person, 4) do not retreat to your
basement without supplies, 5) do not get
surrounded by zombies, especially in an elevator,
and 6) do not let personal emotions and anger
impede survival.a
26. Some scientists claim that a zombie
apocalypse is not necessarily an impossibility
because humans are susceptible to neurotoxins,
brain parasites, real rage virus (such as mad cow
disease), neurogenesis, and nanobots (which can
operate in a host even after the host has died). f
27. In computer science, a zombie is a computer
that has been taken over by a virus, a Trojan
horse, or a hacker. Most owners of zombie
computers are unaware their computers have been
compromised. a
28. The top 10 safest countries during a zombie
outbreak according to geographic location,
topography, armed populace, population density,
and military preparedness are the following: 1)
Australia, 2) Canada, 3) United States, 4) Russia,
5) Kazakhstan, 6) Bolivia, 7) Norway, cool Finland, 9)
Argentina, and 10) Sweden. g
29. Stories of the dead being brought back to life
are thousands of years old. For example, 5,000
years ago in the Middle Eastern tale the Epic of
Gilgamesh , an angry goddess threatens to bring
the dead back to eat the living.b
30. Zombies in Chinese myth are called the Kuang
Shi (the “hopping corpse”). While they have
human bodies, they do not have independent
thought or free will. In some Chinese myths,
zombies are dead people who die far from home
and must walk back to their home villages before
they can rest in peace. b
31. In Scandinavian stories, zombies are called
draugr . According to legend, draugr were fierce
warriors, but after they died, they were not
content to lie in their grave. Instead, they came
back to attack the living. To kill a draugr one had
to cut off its head, burn its body, and scatter its
ashes out to sea.b
32. It is generally
believed that in the
hours before rigor
mortis sets in,
zombies would be at
their most dangerous.
They would, briefly,
have the strength and
speed of living
humans before their bodies would be ravaged by
decomposition.b
33. A revenant—from the French term revenir ,
meaning “one who returns”—is a popular zombie-
like creature. Like zombies, they begin to suffer
decomposition and smell like a rotting body once
they come back to life. However, unlike modern
zombies, their teeth begin to grow into terribly
crooked and jagged protrusions. Also unlike
zombies, they do not eat people or drink blood. b
34. Zombie stories have been found all over the
world, including Europe, Asia, North America,
Africa, and the Middle East—though Haiti has been
the source of modern zombie stories. d
35. Voodoo zombies, or zombies based in Haitian
lore, are created by evil priests called bokors for
several reasons: cheap labor, revenge, and
power. c
36. According to the Voodoo religion, once a
zombie has been created, the bokor, or the evil
priest who created the zombie, must keep the
zombie obedient by feeding it a paste made from a
plant called the “zombie’s cucumber.” Legend
states that chemicals in the cucumber keep
zombies weak so they are easy to order around. In
the United States, the zombie’s cucumber is
called jimsonweed. b
37. According to Haitian voodoo, there are
several precautions people can take so that their
deceased loved one can avoid being turned into a
zombie: 1) bury the body under heavy stones so
they are harder to dig up, 2) watch over the grave
for 36 hours (after 36 hours, death is final and a
bokor can no longer turn a dead body into a
zombie), and 3) cut the head off the body.b
38. George A. Romero’s 1968 movie Night of the
Living Dead is universally credited as being the
film from which all zombie movies today have
their roots. In the movie, radiation from a fallen
satellite brings dead people back to life—and they
have an appetite for human flesh. c
39. Shaun of the Dead is a 2004 “rom zom com” or
romantic zombie comedy. The film was written as
a spoof honoring George Romero’s Night of the
Living Dead. It stars Simon Pegg as the couch-
potato-turned-zombie-hunter Shaun. It has also
been called a “zomedy.” b
40. The popular Dead World series is different
from other zombie genres because it depicts a
ruling class of zombies that are organized and
intelligent. a
41. The most popular zombie-based manga
(Japanese comics) storyline is called High School
of the Dead. The story is about a group of high
school students who have been caught in the
middle of a zombie apocalypse. Additionally, they
must face the threat of the societal collapse and
the decay of their own moral framework. a
42. The Internet has opened up new venues for
the zombie genre to grow, particularly zombie-
themed Internet comics, such as the Zombie
Hunters , Last Blood, Everyday Deca y, and
Slaughter, Inc .a
43. In the case of a
zombie outbreak,
there are certain “hot
spots” for zombie
infection, including
hospitals, police
stations, churches,
malls, and department
stores. a
44. Early zombie movies were often associated
with Voodoo-style zombies rather than viral or
radiation zombies For example, White Zombie
(1932) tells the story of a woman’s transformation
into a zombie at the hands of a Voodoo master.
45. The very first zombie movie ever made is the
1932 American film White Zombie. It was also the
first horror movie that was not a silent film, as
well as the first independent horror film to star
Bela Lugosi, an icon of horror cinema. c
46. In the very first zombie movie ever, White
Zombie, lead actor Bela Lugosi was paid just $800
for his performance, making him the highest paid
actor in the movie. Even in 1932, that wasn’t a lot
of money. The movie grossed less than $25,000 at
the box office, though the film’s budget was
around $50,000. White Zombie is public domain,
which means no one owns the rights to the film
anymore. a
47. The movies Zombie Strippers (2008) and
Zombies, Zombies, Zombies (2008) are ranked as
some the very worst zombie movies of all time. a
48. Ethnobotanist Wade Davis traveled to Haiti in
1982 after hearing reports of zombification. He
found that the “zombies” were most likely exposed
to a dangerous mix of potent neurotoxins and
hallucinogens. He wrote his discoveries in the
book The Serpent in the Rainbow, which was
adapted into a movie of the same name by horror
director Wes Craven in 1988. Some critics have
dismissed his work as unscientific or fraudulent. b
49. The term “Zombophiles” is a term used to
describe fans of the zombie genera. a
50. According to Haitian lore, a Vodun (Voodoo)
zombie’s soul is returned to the victim upon the
creator’s death. Consequently, if someone used a
zombie as a servant after the creator’s death, they
would risk retribution for violating Vodun law.b
51. In Haiti, “zombie powder” is most likely given
to the victim through the skin on the left inner
arm due to its proximity to the heart. After
becoming exposed, the victim becomes violently
ill and paralyzed. Though the person cannot
move, he or she can still see, hear, and feel
everything. Then the person is buried alive in a
Haitian Vodun zombification ceremony and then
later “reanimated.” b
52. Many times
victims of Vodun
(Voodoo)
zombification are
reported to walk
clumsily, speak with
slurred speech, and
act “spacy” or
“inattentive.” Experts
note this is probably a
result of permanent brain damage caused by a
combination of prolonged oxygen deprivation from
being buried alive and exposure to “zombie
powder,” which is a mix of the neurotoxin TTX and
the hallucinogenic dautra and Calabar beans. b
53. Recent research shows that most likely only
about 1 in 100 attempts at Voodoo zombification
in Haiti would be successful. The other 99 times
would result in death.a
54. Critics note that the profound influence the
atomic age had on the public consciousness
helped usher in the age of the modern zombie.
Radiation became a staple of horror entertainment
and was the cause for mutant animals, giant
insects—and zombies.b
55. George A. Romero’s 1968 The Night of the
Living Dead was the first zombie movie to show a
physical cause of zombification. Previously,
zombies were created through Voodoo or other
type of black magic. c
56. The movie Dead Snow is a 2009 Norwegian
zombie comedy about a group of students under
attack from Nazi zombies in the mountains of
Norway. It was nominated for the “Most
Memorable Mutilation” scene.
57. Toxic zombies are zombies who have come
back to life through radiation, exposure to a virus,
or poisonous chemical leaks. These zombies are
usually rotting, smell bad, can’t feel pain, and
prefer to feed on human flesh. They typically can’t
move fast, but they can smell fresh blood and can
hear very well. Voodoo zombies are zombies
under another person’s control and they retain a
limited capacity for human attributes, such as
pain and emotion. They appear in stories in the
Caribbean, Central and South America, and the
southern United States.b,c
58. Zombie powder allegedly used in Haitian
zombification is made from poisons taken from
animals, such as the spiky puffer fish, the hyla
tree frog, and the cane toad. In addition, the
powders contain human remains as well as some
hallucinogens. b
59. Critics note that zombies—created either from
superstition, radiation, or viral mutation—
represent what is frightening in the human psyche
and they serve to explore many profound
assumptions about life and death.d
60. The Germans have a version of the zombie
called the Nachtzehrer, which has two common
translations: “night waster” or “night eater/
chewer/gnawer.” The Nachtzeher has traits of
both the zombie and vampire. When a Nachtzeher
is first reanimated, it gnaws on parts of its own
body and then seeks other victims to feed upon.a
61. Long ago, people
were sometimes
buried alive because
they were in a coma,
which doctors
mistook for death.
When thieves dug up
their graves to steal
jewelry, the corpses
seemed to come back
to life. This has played a role in developing the
zombie myth.e
62. There are three general schools of thought
about how a zombie virus would behave. First,
dormant infection, where the virus would spread
around the world and remain unnoticed until the
recently dead begin to reanimate. In this case,
everyone, bitten or not, would become a zombie.
Next is active infection only, which means that
only those who are bitten by a zombie would be
infected and ultimately die as a result, only to
reanimate after their deaths. Finally, dormant and
active infection, which is the worst out of the
three: all persons who die would reanimate, but
those who are bitten would die much faster. a
63. Critics note that zombies are an extreme
representation of conformity and represent the
inner struggle many humans have regarding the
conflict of individuality versus conformity. b
64. The term “philosophical zombies” represents a
philosophical concept of a living human organism
that has no conscious experience. a
65. Zombie fans hotly debate whether Dr.
Frankenstein’s creation can be considered a
“zombie.” One side of the debate claims that a
zombie should be defined as a reanimated corpse,
regardless of how that reanimation occurs. The
other side says that the corpse must be
reanimated by either a virus or radiation and eat
human flesh. a
66. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was the first
novel to approach the idea of human reanimation
from a nonsuperstitious point of view. Whether
Frankenstein’s monster is a zombie or not, Shelley
was the first to depict a reanimated body caused
by science. b
67. A Canadian-based team of statisticians
created a zombie virus outbreak scenario and
found that the only hope for any human
civilization faced with such an outbreak would be
a fast, aggressive extermination response. Taking
a defensive stance would not work. For example,
in a stereotypical urban city with a population of
500,000 people, it would require an aggressive
military response within 3-8 days. After 8 days, it
would be nearly guaranteed that civilization would
not bounce back. a
68. Zombies represent all that is dark and base
about the human condition. The fear of zombies
often stems from real human fears regarding
unfamiliar or chaotic forces in the world.b
69. Most zombie survivalists adhere to the
following survival list: 1) 14-90 days worth of
nonperishable food, 2) a personal water source
and/or 14 to 90 days worth of drinkable water, 3)
at least one firearm with 1,000 to 10,000 rounds of
ammunition, 5) a gasoline electricity generator
with 2 to 4 weeks worth of fuel, and 6) a sturdy
melee/close combat weapon and some form of
martial arts/close combat training.a
70. One of the most well organized zombie
survivalist sites is ZCORE, which stands for
Zombie Coalition Offensive Response Elite. It
costs $4 to join. a
71. The people in the popular horror film 28 Days
are not technically zombies because they do not
die before they take on a zombie-like appearance
and become fixated on
Romance / 10 Things Girls Lie About.. by watchman111: 10:53pm On Feb 02, 2015
"I don't mind you looking at other girls,"
Guys, don't be stupid. Of course she minds!
She does not need to hear about how hot that
girl is from the hunger games - unless you
never want to get laid again, then yeah, sure,
go on, say it. I dare you. Here's an advice;
when hanging out with your girl, don't discuss
about how hot other girls are because your girl
will turn into a super saiyan - and that's not
good.
2. "I promise I won't get mad,"
Girls usually tell this lie after they ask for your
'honest' opinion.
Girl: Do these pants make my butt look fat?
Boy: No.
Girl: No, tell me what you really think. I promise
I won't get mad.
Boy: Okay... Yes.
Girl: (Gasps) Jerk!
See? Won't get mad my ass!
3. "I don't care that you don't post about me on
Facebook,"
Are you kidding me? This is what she's really
thinking:
"Why hasn't he updated his relationship status?
Is he ashamed of dating me? Oh my gosh... He
hates me! Seriously, what the f***! It's been 15
minutes since I sent him the relationship
request. And why the hell isn't there a photo of
me on his timeline?"
4. "I love everything about you,"
Yeah, right! So, she loves the way you smell
after a football game? Or the way you throw
your dirty socks on the floor? Maybe she just
loves it when you burp in her face... Then fart.
5. "I don't care how much money you make,"
Which girl doesn't love her bling?
(Boy kneels down on one leg and pulls out a
small box. His girlfriend is excited)
Boy: Honey, will you marry me?
Girl: (squeals) Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh, I can't
believe - oh wait, that's not a diamond ring...
Boy: This is the only ring I can afford right
now!
Girl: (taken aback) B-but that's an onion ring!
6. "I forgive you,"
You must have really screwed up to hear this
from your girl. Just don't make a havoc of it
'cos when she says she forgives you... She
hasn't. She just stored it away in her volcano
of things to bitch about when it's that time of
the month again. Good luck!
7. "I don't mind if your friends come over,"
Which girl, in her right mind, would willingly
give up a perfectly good sofa to drunk, smelly
guys yelling at the sports on tv?
8. "I'm just not ready for a boyfriend right now,"
Guys, I'm sorry, but if you hear this - it's ova!
(over)
This lie, or something similar like, "I don't have
time for a relationship right now," or "I'm still
not over my ex," or "I'm too busy with work," is
her way of dumping you as nicely as she can.
So, be a gentleman and let her go because
what she's really saying is, "I don't like you
anymore. You smell. Stop calling me."
9. "It wasn't that expensive,"
Your girl comes home. With a new handbag.
Made out of diamonds. You ask her how much
it cost, and of course she says, "It wasn't that
expensive..."
Well, just know that you won't have any money
to buy food for the next month because she's
just maxed out her credit card... And yours as
well.
Exciting times ahead, huh.
10. "Looks don't matter to me,"
Now that is the biggest lie of girly bullcrap in
the history of the universe. In fact, even if all
the bulls got together and pooped at the same
time, there still wouldn't be as
much crap as the girly bullpoop lie... (What the
f***?)
Many girls will disagree on this, but secretly,
they know I'm right. They just won't admit their
lies in the fear of looking bad or being judged.
Bullpoop...
Education / 10 Facts About Same Sex Marriage by watchman111: 10:46pm On Feb 02, 2015
The following are ten facts about same sex marriage,
gay rights, and common misinformation.
Fact 1 - Homosexual marriage degrades a time-
honored institution
Homosexual marriage is an empty pretense that lacks
the fundamental sexual complementariness of male
and female. And like all counterfeits, it cheapens and
degrades the real thing. The destructive effects may
not be immediately apparent, but the cumulative
damage is inescapable. The eminent Harvard
sociologist, Pitirim Sorokin, analyzed cultures
spanning several thousand years on several
continents, and found that virtually no society has
ceased to regulate sexuality within marriage as
traditionally defined, and survived.
Fact 2 - Homosexual marriage would radically
redefine marriage to include virtually any sexual
behavior
Once marriage is no longer confined to a man and a
woman, and the sole criterion becomes the presence of
"love" and "mutual commitment," it is impossible to
exclude virtually any "relationship" between two or
more partners of either sex. To those who scoff at
concerns that gay marriage could lead to the
acceptance of other harmful and widely-rejected sexual
behaviors, it should be pointed out that until very
recent times the very suggestion that two women or
two men could "marry" would have been greeted with
scorn. The movement to redefine marriage has already
found full expression in what is variously called
"polyfidelity" or "polyamory," which seeks to replace
traditional marriage with a bewildering array of sexual
combinations among various groups of individuals.
Fact 3 - Homosexual marriage is not a civil rights
issue
Defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman
would not deny homosexuals the basic civil rights
accorded other citizens. Nowhere in the Bill of Rights
or in any legislation proceeding from it are
homosexuals excluded from the rights enjoyed by all
citizens--including the right to marry. However, no
citizen has the unrestricted right to marry whomever
they want. A person cannot marry a child, a close
blood relative, two or more spouses, or the husband or
wife of another person. Such restrictions are based
upon the accumulated wisdom not only of Western
civilization but also of societies and cultures around
the world for millennia.
Fact 4 - Upholding traditional marriage is not
"discrimination"
Discrimination occurs when someone is unjustly
denied some benefit or opportunity. But it must first
be demonstrated that such persons deserve to be
treated equally regarding the point in question. For
example, FAA and airline regulations rightly
discriminate regarding who is allowed into the cockpit
of an airplane. Those who are not trained pilots have
no rightful claim to "discrimination" because they are
denied the opportunity to fly an airplane. Similarly,
the accumulated wisdom of thousands of years of
human history, as expressed in virtually all cultures,
has defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
Homosexual activists conveniently avoid the question
of whether homosexual relationships merit being
granted equality with marriage. Although not strictly
comparable, radically altering the definition of
marriage can also pose dangers to society in much the
same way as permitting unqualified individuals to fly
airplanes.
Fact 5 - Any comparison with interracial marriage
is phony
Laws against interracial marriage sought to add a
requirement to marriage that is not intrinsic to the
institution of marriage. Allowing a black man to marry
a white woman, or vice versa, does not change the
fundamental definition of marriage, which requires a
man and a woman. Homosexual marriage, on the
other hand, is the radical attempt to discard this most
basic requirement for marriage. Those who claim that
some churches held interracial marriage to be morally
wrong fail to point out that such "moral objection" to
interracial marriage stemmed from cultural factors
rather than historic and widely-accepted biblical
teaching.
Fact 6 - Homosexual marriage would subject
children to unstable home environments
Many homosexuals and their sex partners may
sincerely believe they can be good parents. But
children are not guinea pigs for grand social
experiments in redefining marriage, and should not be
placed in settings that are unsuitable for raising
children.
Transient relationships: While a high percentage of
married couples remain married for up to 20 years or
longer, with many remaining wedded for life, the vast
majority of homosexual relationships are short-lived
and transitory. This has nothing to do with alleged
"societal oppression." A study in the Netherlands , a
gay-tolerant nation that has legalized homosexual
marriage, found the average duration of a homosexual
relationship to be one and a half years.
Serial promiscuity: Studies indicate that while three-
quarters or more of married couples remain faithful to
each other, homosexual couples typically engage in a
shocking degree of promiscuity. The same Dutch study
found that "committed" homosexual couples have an
average of eight sexual partners (outside of the
relationship) per year. Children should not be placed
in unstable households with revolving bedroom doors.
Fact 7 - Homosexual activists have a political
agenda: to radically redefine the institution of
marriage
Homosexual activists admit that their goal is not
simply to make the definition of marriage more
"inclusive," but to remake it in their own hedonistic
image. Paula Ettelbrick, former legal director of the
Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, states,
"Being queer means pushing the parameters of sex,
sexuality, and family, and ... transforming the very
fabric of society." Homosexual writer and activist
Michelangelo Signorile rejects monogamy in favor of
"a relationship in which the partners have sex on the
outside often ... and discuss their outside sex with
each other, or share sex partners."
Fact 8 - If victorious, the homosexual agenda will
lead to the persecution of those who object on
moral or religious grounds
If homosexual marriage becomes the law of the land,
then children in public schools will be taught that
homosexuality is a normative lifestyle, and that gay
households are just another "variant" style of family.
Those who object may find themselves on the wrong
side of the law. Unbelievable? This Orwellian
situation has occurred in Massachusetts , which
legalized homosexual marriage in 2004. In April 2005,
David Parker, the parent of a six-year-old boy,
protested to the Lexington elementary school after his
son was taught about homosexual "families" in his
kindergarten class.
At a scheduled meeting at the school, when Parker
refused to back down from his request that the school
honor the Massachusetts parental notification statute,
he was arrested for "trespassing," handcuffed, and put
in jail overnight. The next morning Parker was led
handcuffed into court for his arraignment, and over
the next several months endured two subsequent
court appearances before the school district backed
down and decided to drop all charges against him. In
2007, Parker's lawsuit against the Lexington school
officials was dismissed by a federal judge who refused
to uphold his civil rights and to enforce the
Massachusetts parental notification statute. Parker's
shocking story will become commonplace in a society
that forces the acceptance of homosexual marriage as
normative.
Fact 9 - Polls consistently show that the majority
of Americans rejects same-sex marriage
Public opinion remains firmly opposed to the
redefinition of marriage. A May 2008 Gallup Poll asked
the question: "Do you think marriages between same-
sex couples should or should not be recognized by the
law as valid?" Respondents opposed homosexual
marriage by a margin of 56 percent (opposed) to 40
percent (agreeing). Respondents to a CNN/Opinion
Research Corporation poll in October 2007 rejected
same-sex marriage by the same margins.
Fact 10 - Support for traditional marriage
translates into ballot initiatives and laws around
the country
Because of strong public support for traditional
marriage, same-sex marriage advocates have attempted
to circumvent public opinion by redefining marriage
through the courts. Despite some victories, such as
in Massachusetts and California where the courts have
mandated same-sex marriage, there is a strong
national movement to protect traditional marriage. A
total of 45 states have instituted protections for
traditional marriage either through state constitutional
amendments or through laws:

sir, before I answer your questions may I remind you that Buhari ruled Nigeria for a period less than 2yrs. His govt was truncated by a IBRD/IMF sponsored coup which ushered in the maradonic govt of IBB which simply implemented the western favoured SAP policy on us. After taken over power in 1983 through a military coup, the Buhari govt introduced a policy called WAI- this policy was aimed at instilling discipline, hardwork and removing bureaucratic laziness and bottlenecks that cripples our civil and public service and place them in the right direction towards efficiency. Everyone who witnessed Buhari's administration will give a positive attestation on the efficacy of this policy and how it effected the needed discipline. If only this govt was not overthrown, surely this WAI policy will have meaningful impact on the Nigeria educational sector. Building universities here and there is not the issue but making sure they are well structured and effectively administered with the right policies, vision and mission. Do I also need remind you that the non-functional refineries we have in Nigeria were built under Murtala/OBJ regime under the guidance of general Buhari. I will cut the epistle long by telling you that the only administration that has fought corruption with vigor and sincerity is dat of Buhari, the case of how he investigated past leaders and ministers under the govt of Shehu Shagari is handy here. The Umaru Dikko case is still fresh in the mind of sincere Nigerians. Am not done sir.
you are one of the most sensible persons I have met on naira land.because you argue with good points,not with abusive words like others....back to our discussion..do you mean you can take the risk of voting buhari into power knowing that he could be an Islamic extremist

answer these three questions sir.
if buhari solved power problems then,why do we have power failure now
2.if buhari built educational and research facilities then,why do we have educational wahala now..
I have so many questions I could ask.but.......
buhari is not Nigeria's saviour..without bokoharam,gej would make a better president.

Sir, this is not to convince you to sin. But in my own little knowledge of the bible especially the book of Romans. As a child of God, you need to pray for God's grace, you do not need live everyday on self consciousness. You should live in the spirit and if you do that, every of your actions shall not annoy God. As a Christian you don't need to struggle with sin. What makes you to see an action a sin is because you have not started working in trhe spirit with God. It's not that as a born again Christian that you can sin. But your ability to be sober and ask for forgiveness sincerely afterwards makes you a real born again. Don't act like the hypocrites. If there's a need for you to test-drive your future partner ,do it.
Marriage is a life long thing, don't get yourself into what may make you sad forever. To everyone on earth, God has appointed him/her to a special someone that they will be compatible in all ways...as Christians we need use our discretions sometimes.
bros please Stop misquoting the scripture.no fornicator will see the kingdom of God..I will rather die a sexually unsatisfied man,than go to hell.a spiritual man will not even think of testing a girl first.repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

now that the people who would change the direction of our national ship are far away from power, what then do we do? Should we continue with a failed president simply because we do not trust the new one? Can't what happened in Greece of recent also happen in Nigeria, must we remain conservative in approach all the time? Brother, if truly you want a better Nigeria as you've just said, why not give Buhari a chance? If he fails us like GEJ we throw him out come 2019. Let's try something different brother.

The problem with Nigerians is poverty of the mind and insincerity. Haven't we tried PDP and GEJ enough? Is 15 good years not enough to change the course of this country? I will vote Buhari simply because you do not do same thing using same steps repeatedly and expect a different result. Change is all we desire.
you are doing the same thing with another method..we have people in this country that can do better than gej and gmb politically.the reason why no other person seems to be contesting is simply because,they don't have money to use in buying vote.imagine gej dashing out phones as a campaign strategy.GMB,came and started distributing money to everybody.my brother,we don't have anyone in PDP or APC that can rule us.

This light yellowish/buttery coloured slimy gel in a
transparent jar with a blue cover still remains fresh in
our memories. It's been a skin-protecting staple since
1872, when the first patent for petroleum jelly was
introduced. But did it ever occur to you that the all
time evergreen Vaseline has more beauty and fashion
uses than just rubbing it on children's skin? Bet you
didn’t! We present to you 15 other amazing things you
can do with the petroleum jelly.
1. CUTICLE CREAM : Keep a little tub of Vaseline by
the sink and work into cuticles twice a day. It’s all
you’ll need to prevent cuticles from growing. Vaseline
moisturize dehydrated nailbed.
2. FACIAL MOISTURIZER : Because it’s non-
comedogenic, (does not block the pores of skin)
petroleum jelly is perfect for locking in moisture
without risking breakouts.
3. EYEBROW TAMER : Control errant and unruly hairs
and shape brows by brushing on a tiny dab of
petroleum jelly using a toothbrush.
4. DIY LIP PLUMPER: Put a pinch of cinnamon in
your Vaseline and you’ve got a lip plumper that rivals
anything you can buy at the beauty counter.
5. NAIL POLISH NEATENER : Before applying polish,
trace petroleum jelly over cuticles and the skin around
your nails using an eyeliner brush or pointed cotton
swab. If you then accidentally paint a little outside the
lines you can just wipe off the mistakes after lacquer
dries.
6. SHOE POLISH: If you don’t have standard polish
on hand, shine and soften shoes almost as well by
rubbing on Vaseline and buffing off the excess.
7. EYE MAKEUP REMOVER: Just a dab instantly
breaks up the toughest mascaras and waterproof
liners, while leaving skin around the eyes moisturized.
8. HAIR DYE STAIN PREVENTER: Keep hair dyes
from staining your forehead and ears by rubbing a thin
layer of petroleum jelly just below your hairline and
over each ear before coloring hair.
9. PERFUME PROLONGER : Smooth a bit of
petroleum jelly on your skin wherever you’re going to
apply perfume, and spray as usual. It will help the
scent to stick.
10. MAKESHIFT MASCARA : Sweep on a light coating of
petroleum jelly instead of mascara. It fakes the
appearance of longer, thicker lashes, but looks much
more natural.
11. LIPSTICK STAIN REMOVER: The next time you get
lip-color on clothing, blot petroleum jelly on the spot
as a pre-treatment, then wash as usual.
12. RING REMOVER: Have you been wearing your ring
for a long time and it seems a bit hard sliding it off?
use petroleum jelly as a lubricant.
13. OVERNIGHT HAND & FOOT SOFTENER: Slather your
hands and feet in petroleum jelly and wear socks and
gloves to bed. This will help to lock in the moisture
and keep it from rubbing off. By morning, they’ll be
soft and smooth — and will stay that way.
14. LUMINIZER : Petroleum jelly can be used on its
own as makeup to add a little shine to eyelids
cheekbones or lips, creating a surprisingly luxe
looking sheen for such an affordable formula.
15. PREVENT ‘CHAFFS’: If at any particular time you
have to struggle with chaffing skin, rub petroleum jelly
wherever you tend to chafe. It’ll lubricate and protect
skin.

This probably needs a new thread of its own.

Women absorb and carry living DNA and cells from every male they have sexual intercouse with

In this study they provide a description of male Mc in the female human brain and specific brain regions. The study was originally trying to determine if women who have been pregnant with a son might be more predisposed to certain neurological diseases since these certain diseases occur more frequently in males.

"Collectively with data showing the presence of male DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid [32], our results indicate that fetal DNA and likely cells can cross the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) and reside in the brain. Changes in BBB permeability occur during pregnancy [33] and may therefore provide a unique opportunity for the establishment of Mc in the brain. Also unique to our study are the findings that male Mc in the human female brain is relatively frequent (positive in 63% of subjects) and distributed in multiple brain regions, and is potentially persistent across the human lifespan (the oldest female in whom male DNA was detected in the brain was 94 years)."

Through the study they blindly and politically assume that all male Mc DNA found hosting in the female brain was from a male pregnancy. Funny how even our brightest scientists can live in denial.

BUT, when they autopsied the brains of women who had never even been pregnant they STILL found male DNA prevalent in the female brain.

They did their best to hide the evidence. They buried it in numerous sub studies but I sifted through it all and found the damning statement, the one they tried to avoid. The statement that every single article written about this extremely important study completely censored and left out.

What are they so afraid of??

"CONCLUSIONS: Male microchimerism was not infrequent in women without sons. Besides known pregnancies, other possible sources of male microchimerism include unrecognized spontaneous abortion, vanished male twin, an older brother transferred by the maternal circulation, or SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Male microchimerism was significantly more frequent and levels were higher in women with induced abortion than in women with other pregnancy histories. Further studies are needed to determine specific origins of male microchimerism in women."

Its so convenient how they flat out ignore the MOST OBVIOUS source of microchimerism male DNA hosting inside the female body. And the periodicals just deleted it alltogether. The scum bags.

This has very important ramifications for women. Especially promiscuous women who practice unprotected sexual intercourse. Every male you absorb spermatazoa from becomes a living part of you FOR LIFE. The women autopsied in this study were elderly. Some had carried the living male DNA for well over 50 years!

This will certainly piss the feminists off. But it explains so much about women, life, and relationships.

Sperm is alive. It is living cells. When it is injected into you it swims and attaches and burrows into your flesh. If its in your mouth it swims and climbs into your nasal passages, inner ear, and behind your eyes. Then digs in. It enters your blood stream and collects in your brain and spine. Like something out of a scifi movie.

I love how the agenda has convinced young ladies to be promiscuous. They knowingly are sabotaging generations of young women. Of COURSE they are.

The male DNA can also pass into and become part of a fetus from an entirely different male. So if your woman has a long track record, then your kids are likely carrying DNA from her past hookups.

Is this why the ancient Sumerian Gods specifically said to not have premarital sex? Is this why they forbid homosexuality?

We have only begun to understand the power and ramifications of this.
