"TONY MONTANA.......You dont have a single general idea about what you want to say. This should be your last time to use the "???WTF? " on me. Who should care anyway who writes what english or chichewa here? Malawiana is about more than politicking and chitchat. It is about creating and sustaining a Malawian society the world over. Its not solely for Malawians based in UK or US ......... as long as you are a Malawian then Malawiana fits you better. Whether you use Yao, Lomwe, Tonga, Lambya, patched up english ...etc ....no-one should ever rise-up and become a teacher of men. Its not a question of aiming at feeling top on Malawiana or playing a fools-game, however, take it to your heart that the way how I give oppinions is my identity. Of course I need to communicate , language has to communicate and I communicate but not exactly. People like MONTANAS have thought themselves to feel like ........(nincompoops) and no wonder many more new Malawian members feel like scared and troubled to post their oppinions for fear of being schooled with their language and tastes of grammar. Do you think you are the only person who wish and long to have your postings here? No , a thousand more wants but they wrongly have an impression that Malawiana is a society which is not well run just coz of kind like you . Lets make it more prosperous and never put sense into somebodys head by chopping it off. Simply say , communicate and one day I shall. I dont want to stop to learn and i want to learn some more from all you guys. Lets create a society that is also caring and compassionate, a society that values personal intergrity, a society that has greater, nobler goals than mere effieciency . Maybe I am in the wrong society, I have to know otherwise well life is too short to be wasted fighting ......like MONTANA."
Eetchef, I was blind but now I see. Through your great wisdom you have made a troubled young man realize the error of his ways. The world needs more people like you. It is obvious that I was wrong and you were right. Reading your post made me realize that I am not a good person. Almighty eetchef, do you think there is still a chance for a hopeless soul like me to make it in this world?
Originally posted by: Tony Montana "Interesting topic you brought up. I personally don't see anything wrong with "living in sin". If/when I get married I definitely plan on living with the person for at least a year or two before we get married because I don't want any surprises. You want to see your future wife/husband in both their best and worst moments. People who decide to not live with their mates before marriage are almost as funny as people who save themselves for marriage. -Tony Montana"
"how narrow minded can you be really Tony?Actualy i have the greatest respect for people that save themselves for marriage because its clear that they have more values and esteem and self control than most could only ever dream of!I think that the world has twisted the word love with lust!Peole just confuse themselves and before they know it, they have a broken heart and a long list of names(if they remember)of people who they have slept with and well, things didnt really work out!(thats a whole other discussion altogether)"
Blackdiamond, the reason I don't respect the idea of "saving yourself" for marriage is because it is just one of the many ways that the religious right tries to make sex seem like a bad thing. What if you wait till marriage and then you find out that your partner is really bad in bed or she/he just doesn't like to have sex? The best thing you can do for your wife/husband is give them the best sex of their life and the only way you can do that is by practicing. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
Be sorry and tell some of your folks here who like using abusive words. People like you give objections based not on the view that it overestimates the role of reason in our lives, but on the observation that its role has increased, and with disastrous results. HIV/AIDS was born and found refugee in human world and people have eventually transformed indifferently to what is on the ground. Reason in most people has failed to overcome ignorance. Religion has been used to suppress and distort our natural responses of sympathy and pity towards HIV/AIDS. Most people tend to be hiding under the cloak of religion, they are plastic people, they shall always melt and crumble under the heat because they don’t engage feelings of the heart in what they say and do.
I have always believed that this forum is not for vain people with lost imaginations hence lets dissolve the problems about the standards of morality into the natural history of how moralities emerge within our societies, and our growing understanding of the process of socialisation. However, with such a mentality of lacking reason and ideologies in this forum I wonder if human creation can enjoy both civilisation and freedom, society and moral integrity. If we keep on arguing on lame issues, the whole piece of this forum shall be severely stoic.
To all Born Again who are always temperamental at the simple mentioning of Hallelujah …take note that the destructive effect of religion is not tied to practical socio-economic and political needs of human. We know that the morals of a people all over the world is like the honour of man: a treasure, to be preserved but one which when lost can never be recovered. Since a vicious people can never return to virtue thee can be no question of restoring the goodness of those who are no longer good. Don’t forget that the first source of evil within our societies is inequality, from inequality comes wealth. Why on earth hate open prostitution when women and children are raped everyday in dark corners of our souls and houses? ITS LONG ......BYE
