yeah, i get it. SA will disregard its commitment to long term trade agreements with its current trading partners and the Chinese will buy each and every single South African export. Even the ones they dont need. They are over 1 billion afterall. obviously South Africans will be happy to wear knock off gear and all other GREAT products the PRC has to offer. You guys are on to something
imo BB don't really innovate on the hardware, UI or software fronts. Only thing they have going for them is BBM. Apps like WhatsApp are mimicing that functionality across platforms anyway so BB got nothing.
^^^if u don't mind me asking, why don't you want to do the circumcision?
the question should be why do they want me to do circumcision? everybody who trying to explain why i need to do hasn't given me a good enough reason for me to do it.
Judging by your previous post you seem like a pretty traditional man, one that value your tradition more than religion or ‘Western world’ influences. You make reference to the fact that they covered your African attire with their jacket, which wasn’t altogether African and how there was so much reference to the Christian God which you feel is not appropriate for a traditional ceremony. So here’s a reason I think you should get circumcised, because it’s part of your Xhosa tradition. I mean if you’re such a firm believer in tradition then surely this being part of your tradition is something you should be more than happy to embark on. Or are you doing the same thing that you stand so highly in judgment of, which is isolating parts of your tradition, remixing them and making them suit you and your lifestyle? You seem to have a problem with the western world having so much influence yet you yourself aren’t following your tradition. Please do correct me if I’m wrong.
Is instilling fear the only way of maintaining order? maybe let me be more specific, once a teenager isnt afraid of a parent the parent is pretty much screwed cos there is not way in which the teenager can be controlled, or is there?
when i was growing up, i was never above an a** whupping, the fear of that kept me on the straight and narrow (or made me hide my shit proper cos of the a** whupping)
u can transpose that into any other realm u want. my question still stands, is there a way of maintaining order without instilling fear? (cos we cannot trust in our inherent discerning between right and wrong anymore)
But seriously, I'm alarmed at the number of people who had happy, expensive weddings in their early to mid twenties and were divorced by 30. I know a girl whose been divorced TWICE by 30.
Mind you she gave the 2nd husband money for lobola, paid for their R 200,000 wedding, paid for his car and clothing accounts as well as his child support for 4 kids he had with other women. All to be married.
