Ok, let me be outspoken again... Kindness is what we need more of in this world. However, being docile is not the same as being kind. Some docile people let others walk all over them and thatīs just sad to witness.
I love you too Babylon! LOL!
Oooh, thank you sweatheart! 
Have been following your comments as genuine and reasonable. |

If we make it vibrant it keeps Bantaba lively because in family business you sometimes fight, quarell and levy insults. We are one family now and lets get on together whatever, however and forever! |

Momodou good morning, my posting was made at 09.53 18 may, i released what i had done and put another posting on at 09.56 and 12.31. i also answered 11.12. I hope this clears up what on my part was a mistake.
I would love to move on but once again in another part of the bantaba a certain memeber has started to be rude again. Why is that necessary. Correct me if i am wrong, ask for an explaination if my words are not understandable all this is no problem. but BAMBA is something else.

| I think Momodou should apologise to Jambo for calling him/her (names) ... I think Jambo feels been insulted. Momodou's postings sound louder than most of the postings here! |

If Bamba leaves Bantaba this very minute, the next minute, a new member is welcome. When I was in primary school, as punishment for wrong-doing,we used to go to the garden to remove weeds from plants. It's a punishment strategy that Bantaba should adopt.
Njucks, please dont make me laugh to break my ribs. Which lawyer uphere has time for, call it, TRASH cases. I do love your sense of humour. |

Jambo you appear to be overwelm sometimes with your emotions and very sensitive. If there are any overreactions ask to substantiate and if you are not convinced state that clearly. In other instances if you feel you are being discredited and cannot defend yourself maintain self-restraint, down play it and ignore it as an irrelevant issue or invalid points. Don't show any signs of weaknesses, try to face them as challenges and deal with them appropriately. If you became frustrated or confused allow yourself to settle down calmly and make more sober reflections to progress with the debates and lively discussions. Maintain your own temperaments and relax a little bit and deal with it. |

Not in that sense of ancestral or descendant but through the cyberspace. |

whattttt!! Bamba you're a lucky man.
when we were in primary school for punishment.
Teacher 1: you had to put your hand on the desk and recieve your '' ten cuts'' on the buttocks. if you let go of the desk to give it a 'scratch' he starts again
Teacher 2: he had a hosepipe. you stand about a metre away and he would 'spray' you. usually about 5 swings on the back.
Teacher 3: had a ruler. you have to clunch your fingers outwardly and then she went for your finger tips. shes was more precise.
monkey dances and kneeling down for the whole period were for the lucky ones . |

This is the problem with the west. when you are too kind, nice or docile they think you are hiding something. I don't know why they can't get the fact that it is human nature. God did not create everybody to be razor tongue or orator just like not everybody is a murderer or a lier. When I was having my baby, there was a white lady who was very nice and kind especially to me. But when a nurse came to tell her to turn off her mobile phone she went ballistic and when I asked her why she acted the way she did she said she doesn't want to be seen a soft touch and that it is not good to be seen as soft touch. You can see through her that she is not the harsh type she is really kind. I think what makes a better person is someone who is understanding, kind and ability to communicate with people without offending them.

Ganbi, you missed the accent.
To make myself clearer, I can also give an example. I knew a lady who was always playing the soft, sweet and innocent. Her favourite colour was pink, and her home was a pink nightmare full of teddy-bears, hearts, angels and other kind of kitsch. She was a 'new age' follower, and her mouth always overflew with words of wisdom and understanding, about enlightenment, universal love and harmony, and so on. From the beginning, I was sceptical, because such a display was simply too much. Later we found out that this lady was the worst intriguer, highly aggressive in her actions, and very destructive.
Twinkly is not like that, I think.

These structures does not exist through the Bantaba but Bantaba is the unltimate meeting cyberspace to resolve issues and conduct informal discussions of ranges and varieties of topics that came through the fidget around the mind, don't you agree Njucks? |

Jambo, we all make mistakes. Once again accept my apology. English is a third or forth language for me and the word I used might be misunderstood. I just couldn't accept your assertion which I know was not true.
I hope you just move on! Any effort towards assisting needy students or Educational Institutions in Gambia is very much appreciated and you should be commended for that.
We should accept that we agree to disagree here on the Bantaba. There is no need for polarisation.
Here is an answer to a question you asked:
Although I had my homepage since 1996, the forum Bantaba was started in 2000 and this new platform is from December 2005. |
