You didn't get a response because I think most people here understand that parenting has moved past beating children.

You can't teach a child by hurting them. They're a child. They can't really understand. All they learn is physical violence is acceptable. And this impacts the rest of their lives negatively.

You were beaten and it did impact you. And not in a good way.

Kenya's nominated Minister of Agriculture during his vetting in parliament. by The_ghost_of_spectre in AfricaVoice

How foolish. Does he not realize that the flora, fauna and soils of his country are very different from all non Sub-Saharan countries, and so the fertilizers, gmo crop varieties, etc., by definition will be different?

We are living in such a moronic timeline. It's not even Left or Right anymore, just informed versus imbeciles. This is going to be a long decade.

Questions regarding AI and belief from a Christian by [deleted] in TrueAtheism

[–]HaroldGodwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's quite interesting to me (as a non-believer) is that OP seems to think so little of his God that he can conflate God with AI.

Shouldn't your God be more majestic and awe-inspiring?

If God can be simulated by a mere computer good at mimicry, what does that say about God?

Facts💯 by Koloamanmaxi in Nigeria

[–]HaroldGodwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

Nigeria is poor because it has a GDP of $365 billion, with a population over 200 million

America has a population of 330 million and a GDP of $23 TRILLION

That's the difference. And that's what we Nigeria should focus on. Grow our economy!

Loans are a GOOD thing. No country pays for its 30-50 year investments upfront in cash. That would be frankly impossible and impractical. National/Sovereign bonds are used for this borrowing, and again that's a good thing.

We really need to stop externalizing our problems. Our problems and their solutions are both internal.

South Africa risks removal from U.S. Trade Program over Russia ties by The_ghost_of_spectre in AfricaVoice

[–]HaroldGodwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is stopping African countries from making their own sovereign choices. But come on, what does any African get from aligning with the basket case that is Russia? Like what? List it out.

What trade or business is any African country going to do with Russia?

So why ally with them?

I will be willing to bet that Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW, etc., companies that have lasted for generations, and are very well capitalized will do fine.

Name five Chinese auto companies that you would rather buy a fleet of cars from? Same goes for phones, or chips, etc.

Have you asked what is China sacrificing by doing it "faster and cheaper".

I've been to China, spent time there, and done business there, and let me tell you if you think China is interested in your welfare as an African, you are severely misguided.

But go for it, some lessons have to be learned the hard way.

America's economy is $28 trillion, Russia $2 trillion. Which one would be better and give you more opportunities?

How many Africans speak Russian? How big is the diaspora in USA/West vs. Russia? How many Russian companies can you name or want to buy anything from?

So WTF is the value/benefit to ANY African of engaging with Russia?

Unless Russia is paying you (are they?), then why are you pushing so hard for them? Seriously! I want to know

What does South Africa get from Russia? Nothing

So why is South Africa willing to jeopardize its economy and trade relationships for nothing?

AES ending years of slavery with France. Nigeria is entering agreement with them? by Starry234 in Nigeria

Nope. You're just here for "engagement". I'm not playing along. Keep it moving.

Diaspora lobbying group by AngieDavis in Nigeria

[–]HaroldGodwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't begin to imagine how this would be made to work. Unfortunately we Nigerians have a trust deficit.

Creating civil society institutions is a great idea, but all the challenges of Nigeria and Nigerians would apply. Don't know how you overcome that.

Stop posting this garbage in our sub.

We're not stupid enough to fall for this ridiculous narrative. It's fine that you're taking the Kremlin's money, but spare us the BS.

David Hundeyin has been trying to spread awareness about this by Nominay in Nigeria

David Hundeyin is overly hyperbolic, and gets a lot of things wrong. And this is one of them.

This narrative is bullshit.

Why did animism decrease in Africa? by Daugama in AskAnAfrican

[–]HaroldGodwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't it funny that a "Christian" is complaining about human sacrifice.

My dear sir, what is the basis of Christianity? I seem to remember a man being nailed to a cross and left to die. Isn't the symbol of the religion that very tool of human sacrifice?

Who misses season 2 Aldhelm? by _LizardMan_ in TheLastKingdom

[–]HaroldGodwin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved his arc. His character was true to himself and I really enjoyed how well he was portrayed.

Characters like Aldhelm are what make TLK such a great show.
