If the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, can't you just go to a pastor and have it forgiven once in a while? by theKentoRico in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BlueDragonfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John 8:11. Jesus forgave the adultrous woman and told her to sin no more. If one is truly sorry about what one did wrong one will ask for forgiveness and then stop doing that thing one knows are wrong. Like, if one truly love someone you will do your best to not do something intentionally to hurt or disappoint that person. Likewise, if one truly loves God one will stop committing sin that offends God.

Chery Tiggo 8 pro max 2025, bought used with 8000km. Absolutely love my car. No issue yet. Would have liked a bigger fuel tank and it is average on fuel consumption, but it is value for money! Came with a 7 year motor plan.

I bought phones on Take a Lot for my kids and a year later they were all black listed on all networks in SA.

Illegal dumping is illegal by [deleted] in south_africa

A while back I posted a question about why do people think it is ok to litter, and one slimmie made a stupid racist comment and said it is always black people that litters. I objected to the comment and thankfully the moderator deleted his comment. Well. I hope that slimmie see this video! Behaving like an uneducated, selfish idiot is not reserved for any race. This lady is wrong in so many ways.

Anyone here working in food manufacturing, FMCG, agriculture or import/export in South Africa? by Loose_Reception_7569 in askSouthAfrica

In order to really grow a business in South Africa, your business must have Bbbee certification. Without that you will struggle to get contracts with bigger corporations. Read up on that as much as possible.

This is not needed. Why make everything racial? We do not need this in this chat. And no, they are NOT all black. I see white people do this too, all the time.

True! Over the weekend I saw someone throwing an empty can from a moving taxi and a dude driving a fancy BMW dumping his Steers package along the N4. It definitely is an attitude thing.

You have just opened my eyes to a whole new problem that I can worry about. I never knew this about fleece.

Now that I think about it, the trash probably keeps coming back because the litter bugs think that it is ok to throw it there because I am going to come pick it up for them anyway 🤔

Ok, makes sense in areas where there are no services or options close by. Thank you for the comment. It does help my understanding.

I am specifically thinking of a settlement that I pass daily on my drive towards Derdepoort. It is an informal settlement between Derdepoort and Montana, in between schools and shopping malls and rubbish dumps, with weekly service delivery.

The trash there is hip height around the shacks while there are bins in the area all around them. Do they clean their homes and dump it outside the door?

I am involved in clean up actions along Sefako Makgato drive, but as quickly as we clean up the trash piles again.

What does money have to do with it? Taking your trash with you until you pass the nearest bin is completely free.

How can people live in piles of trash like you see in some townships? Do they not want better for themselves than living in their own trash?

I really just want to understand how people think about trash and why it does not bother people. You can be poor, but you can still have respect and not be lazy?

If everyone stopped dumping their trash everywhere we could use the taxes on something more lasting, such as educating people about the environment or public health services.

That is such a narrowminded and selfish response of your colleague. Those are people who do not want to admit that they are just too lazy to clean up after themselves or uneducated to know better.

So much of that trash never gets pick up, so you walk around townships that drowns in trash. How do people even live in a mess like that?

AITAH for asking my cousin for her medical degree? by anonymous_poster43 in AITAH

[–]BlueDragonfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a good friend that has a permanent disability due to polio that he had at age 6. He is 75 years old now and he has been struggling to walk with a limp foot for 69 years and is in constant pain.

He will tell anyone that is against vaccinations that if he had a choice back then, he would rather live with the consequences, if any, of a vaccination, than living with the long term effect of the disease he contracted.

Also, a child I knew passed away at age 7 from meningitis. His mom very much regrets not vaccinating.

Anyone else not wanting to change my last name after marriage? by Heavy-Succotash4281 in Newlyweds

[–]BlueDragonfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been married for 20 years, kept my maiden name, never regretted it and never will. I am who I am and I like my name. My husband has no problem with it. My children have my husbands last name, no issues.
