Ridiculous, another public statistic outside wedlock. I have little or no regard for miscreants like 2face. To me, He is no better than an illiterate in Ajegunle. Working as a Paediatric Surgeon, I experience first hand what single mothers go through with their sick babies with the fathers out of the picture. I am always very perplexed to see majority of these people being of the ethnic minority. An increasing number of young Nigerian females are joining the long list everyday here in the US (at least I can speak of the Hospital where I work). What is the root cause in America of poverty, crime, drug abuse, gang warfare, urban decay, and failing schools? According to op-ed pundits, Sunday talking heads, radio call-in shows, and politicians in both parties, the answer is the growing number of children being raised by single parents, especially by mothers who never married in the first place. Restore family values and the two-parent family, and America's social problems will be substantially solved.

I have nothing more to say except for the fact that if you are going to be impressed by some so-called music star or celebrity, consider their lifestyle. For me, I prefer rich enterpreneurs and professionals. Enterpreneurs have traditionally been and still are the richest people in the world. I am going off point here (evidence of my frustration with scumbags bringing helpless children into the world only to abandon them or give them partial Love and care).

@Anoushka

You are either someone i know or her clone. lol

Are you Folake?

Bisanke, Whats yours?

Yep its in my profile. femi_morgan2002

Bisanke:

lol you're very funny

Bisanke, Why dont you tell me then. Never mind we live in the same city, your secret is safe with moi .

Hmmh, Now we have an idea who the VIRGINS are on Nairaland.

I personally think the Russians are sly two-faced hypocrites. They speak of excessive force, what kind of force did they use against the chechnyans?

THe truth of the matter is most of these nonsense-talking countries at the G8 Summit will do worse if they were in the same situation. Most of them fight dirtier than the US with no regard for human rights or civilians, Russia and China in particular, even the f**king french that bombed the Ivorien Army just because some of their so-called peace keeping force was caught in a crossfire.

Now he is speaking English !!!

I couldn't make sense of it either. "Pseudo-fatalism"? reading the dictionary isn't enough, you should also learn how to put words together.

This is ridiculous. Any god that offers 7 or 70 women to one man in the name of terroristic suicide and killing of innocent souls is a DEVIL. What nonsense !!!

My view on this issue is 3 part.

1. Personal view on the crisis
2. The crisis / middle east as it relates to Bible prophecy

1. I personally think hezbollah went overboard when they staged an incursion into the sovereign state of Israel killing and abducting their soldiers. Under those circumstances, Israel reserves the right to defend itself by whatever means it deems fit, Howvever i do not support killing innocent civilians.

2. Concerning bible prophecy and the middle east, we know from the bible, that the world will end in the middle east. One of the signs of the end as depicted in the bible is the restoration of the nation of israel. Israel was conquered by the Babylonians in 605 B.C. , next by the Persians, and next by the Greeks. Israel was finally overrun by the Romans in 70 A.D. and scattered into every nation on the earth. God's "fig tree" entered the dormant season. Since then, the nation of Israel remained scattered into the nations and dormant as a nation for almost two thousand years. No other nation in history has survived being conquered and taken from their homeland and been able to maintain their identity as a nation. But God promised them that their national identity would be preserved. In fact He said, as long as there is a sun and moon, "there will not cease to be a nation of Israel before me", (Jeremiah 31:35-36 ).

Not only did God promise to preserve the scattered Jewish nation, but He would regather them back to the land of Israel. In fact, the most prolific prophecy in all the Bible is the one that says that the Jewish people would be gathered back to their land in the end times. Jeremiah 16 is one of these. It says, "Therefore behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when it will no longer be said, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, 'but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.' For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers" (Jer. 16:14-15). It is only in recent history that prophecies like this one are beginning to be fulfilled.

This was fulfilled in 1947 when Israel was restored as a state by the UN. All the people fighting and pointing at Israel as occupying palestinian lands should review the history very well.

Bible also talks about gathering the nations of the world led by the kings of the east (probably Russia and China) to battle against Israel in the valley called Armageddon(Zechariah 14:2). (note all this happens after the rapture of the church)

Bible also speaks about redemption for israel in this trying times.

Revelation 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.

Revelation 19:12
His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.

Revelation 19:13
He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.[/color][color=#990000]

The Word of God is Jesus Christ. In Isaiah, we find the following prophecy about the return of Christ

Isaiah 63:1
Who is this who comes from Edom,
With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His apparel,
Marching in the greatness of His strength?
"It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."

Isaiah 63:2
Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?

Isaiah 63:3
I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My raiment.[/color]

Christ is depicted with clothes stained red with blood.  It is the final battle in which He overcomes the forces of evil in order for the Kingdom of God to be established on this earth.  The "beast" and all his human followers are defeated in this Battle of Armageddon.

[color=#990000]Revelation 19:16
And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Revelation 19:19
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

The army we understand from the bible are the raptured saints.

PEACE will only be returned to the middle east by the prince of peace when he returns to Jerusalem.

For those who think the world is about to end just because there is war in the middle east, don't alarm yourselves. If you are a christian, you will undersatnd that bible says there will be a breif period of peace in the middle east and the world over and then suddenly destruction comes. This breif period of peace is when you should be worried about the rapture, because it preceeds the rapture. Bible says we (Christians) are not in the dark so as the day overtake us a s a theif in the night. If Jesus is coming tommorow, I dare say I WILL KNOW.



(to be concluded later)

@mukina2

OK mademoiselle.

@mukina2

Care to share waht happened to you?

@mukina2

What evidence do you have to support the term "majority"?

What was your criteria for measuring this?

On what sample size are you basing your findings?

did you carry out a poll amongst women? if yes, what was common to all these women?[/color][color=#990000]

In the modern world there are too many parameters to condiser before carrying out a test that will give you the right to make a conclusive blanket statement like that, otherwise its just stereotyping.

@mukina2

I don't war with women. Yet again you agree with that kind of statement from pajimoh with no empirical evidence whatsoever, just because it aligns with your views.

mukina2:

u said i was dumped didnt u?well i'll like to know whetre you got that idea from

That was just sacarsm based on the title of the thread you started and your personal attack on me for my views.

@mukina2

I still dont see the correlation, Could you be clearer pls?

Reverend:

@ Mr LawngGone

Why Mr Lawng, you really are a very big sour puss and a pretty lame excuse for a homosapien, Oh well, only to be expected from such a illiterate peasant as yourself!

Actually you should have noticed that I did not approach the subject of sex in this thread! You are the person that did this. Whilst we are on the subject of sex, I must conclude by your constant whining and abusive manner across many different threads that you can't be getting any yourself. I am led to believe that you are sexually frustrated!

Check the masturbation thread out, it may help you relieve your tensions and curb your constant need to spit your childish venom at anybody who's views you do not agree with! Beat the Bishop a few times a day, and I am sure you will feel a new man or woman!

PS. Christianity should be spelled with a CAPITAL 'C'

Reverend, I was beginning to think you were dead when I didn't get a reply. You speak of illiterate peasants? Wow, A perfect description of your sorry self. I once vowed never to descend to your level, but i guess i got carried away again by your warped sense of reality. You really relish demonising people and practices you don't believe in. From demonising Jesus as a homosexual, to stereotyping Nigerians as fraudsters, the list is endless. I bet you particularly choose the name Reverend knowing it is the exact opposite of what you stand for. In all these, We still have some dim-wits like you finding you funny even though you make silly jokes out of their person, race or country. You publish a mock website with the link in your profile depicting Jesus as having indiscriminate sex with Mary Magdalene. I have had enough of your insolence, you are not even worth exchanging words with.

P.S.

Bloody illiterate !! Homo Sapien is not one word. Only illterates like you write it as a word. Do you even Know what it means? Check you dictionary not the internet, Fool.

mukina2:

@ mrlawng i wonder if you av a girlfriend?

What has that got to do with anything?

nferyn:

I haven't seen much [i]reasoning [/i]on these subject by you, my dear mrlawng . I have had quite pleasant and thoughtful conversations on the topic with layi, nicetohave, 4get_me, mlks_baby and some others. We can agree to disagree, but your personal attacks are uncalled for. As a matter of fact, you seem to be the exact type of religious people that frighten me with your uncompromising, anti-intellectual and plainly bigotted views. Let me respond with an equally [i]thoughful [/i]response: when exactly did you run out of heretics to burn at the stake? Did the crispy fire emmanating from their burning flesh warm your cold heart?

cheap attempts at self-validation by mentioning names, that doesnt count for much. Hmmmmh let me see, Who is the insultive one here? You speak of burning heretics at stake, that should ring closer to home for you, arent you european?
We live in the 21st century dude, Wake up.

Reverend is a sick bastard. He relishes contributing his sexually perverted views of "christianity" with every opportunity he gets. Nferyn like Seun the administrator, on the other hand are "deadbeat", I bet he has to remind himself everyday he is real and alive. SHAMEFUL.

Diddy put it rightly, reasoning with these fellas on this topic is like boiling a stone with hopes of getting it soft enough to eat. (go figure).

@m4malik

You can reason with anybody except ajia23.

@belloti

I dont know what you mean by "mellowed down". I stand by my words and convictions anyday. You do have a point about the agrument though, its not worth it. I never put all norhtherners and muslims in one boat, zarah did by using "US" and "Them", read her post. anyway I am done as long as the insolent individuals steer clear.

DRANOEL:

@mrlawng.
not all northerners are wack,for instance they say the best place in nigeria to rock is jos and benue people are off the chain!. much as they are no gooders in the north they are also no gooders in the west!

I totally agree with you. It will be foolhardy and unrealistic to suggest all notherners are wack or all muslims are wack. That said, we are all entitled to our own opinions. Read the previous posts on this thread and see the subtle but yet stupid insinuations by some people.

When I was younger I lived in lagos and I was part of a group called the "Barons" in Ikoyi. We were more like brothers and a couple of them were northerners (joe and Tukur). I don't hate notherners, i just detest the foolish ones that stereotype like zarah. I say again check the post and see who started the rubbish.

@dranoel

Lagos.

belloti:

Mrlawng, i don't think you are doing yourself anygood by earning a strong anti-north reputation. we are not politicians here but you should respect the sense and sensitivity of fellow members. this is suppose to be a medium for creating goodwill and boosting the spirit of brotherhood. but i think you are choosing a wrong course of action and i guess you are having a good run already.

Belloti, Please go back to where it all started and prove that i started all this.

zarah:

Great, I can see I hit the right spot. Your consequent response above is baseless. I am not even going to get into inferiority complex or quality of life with you. Empty vessels makes the most noise. Inferiority complex? give me a break. Your incredible stupidity festers like a bad sore with every post you make.

[color=#000099][/color]

mrlawng,
U r so, so pathetic!
you expected me to insult you back and try to argue out that i am better than that abi? sorry to dissapoint you. i am not idle. believe what u want.
i know u cannot drag quality of life wt me, it's plain impossible.
rant on genius, u didn't even see the carpet pulled off beneath your feet, how much more dumb can u be. Bark on DOG. but i just don't care.

Idiot, you just did exactly what you said you wouldnt.

JosBoy4Lif:

mrlawng is a fool
so what if zarah resides from ikoyi

how many southerners make their bread from the north?
be careful what you say,

when you learn to write and speak proper english, then we can have a conversation. For now, you are nothing but a low-life scum.


@Danmasani

Bring it on. I am used to seeing animals like you and I have a collection of leashes and chains to tame you. Infuriate you? please, you can rot in hell for all I care. Need I say more about your people, your said it all.
