I'm right here my brother!!!!
I decided not speak in the place of RW and only deigned it necessary to respond to TBC by saying "whateveRrrrrrr" - but since you're asking, here goes:
It is sad (but at the same time very revealing) that some of you men are reading too, too much into this and have automatically blocked out that these are mere generalities, and, are making it personal to RW.
I'll be hopeful and use the word "granted" - so, yes, let's say, granted that this piece does not apply to every single LIB Man. Realistically speaking, I think RW's "tirade" comes not so much in the negative sense, as in a sense of throwing light on - and giving a voice to - issues that almost every single LIB female can empathize with, and not necessarily -ONLY- because they've experienced it first hand, but, because their mother, sister, daughter, girl-cousin, and/or female friends, have; and they'd had to be hand-holders in that process.
Does this mean that these traits are all singularly particular to men RW dated? Does it mean RW should come under a barrage of personal attacks? I say no.
Men like TBC, John Wensea Guewell [et al] who've responded to RW 's piece "in kind", just managed to show that RW's 27-Count negative characteristics of LIB Men, strongly resonates with them and that RW spoke true to [their] form! And so, like cornered animals, their instincts took over and they resorted to lashing out because -they've been pushed to the wall!
Remember an adage used regularly in LIB: "What makes a man SHAME, makes him VEX/MAD"?
Well, such is the situation here with your brothers who've managed to come on up in here and show their true colors, BJ;
Sadly, all they've actually managed to do, is, add the #s 28 & 29 of "Things Liberian Men do that are WRONG!!!"
So, at the risk of stealing RW's spotlight, AND in the hopes of not doing so, here goes:
#28. Liberian men will exhibit the highest level of immaturity once in a situation where they feel cornered.
#29: Liberian Men are quick to jump to conclusions and do not go into situations with OPENED EYES.
(RW - feel free to adapt these into the original 27 as, I, in this public manner, do give you the copyrights:):)
Now back to Mr.TBC (et al for that matter): So, contrary to what you thought - thereby propelling yourself into hastily jumping to the wrong conclusions (and, getting on the defensive so that, in the process, you've unwittingly set yourself up for a psycho analytic session), as with her piece on LIB Women, RW was generalizing as per our LIB way of life and, simply saying IT as IT is brotherman!
Therefore, TBC , YOU, MY FRIEND CAN'T STOP THE SHINING, so instead, take heed and try to learn to SHINE ur eyes my man, shine your eyes!!!!

Joke Of The Day
A little boy walks into his parents' room to see his mom on top of his dad bouncing up and down... the mom sees her son and quickly dismounts, worried about what her son has seen. She dresses quickly and goes to find him. The son sees his mom and asks, "What were you and Dad doing?" The mother replies, "Well, you know your dad has a big tummy and sometimes I have to get on top of itand help flatten it." "You’re wasting your time," said the boy. "Why is that?" the mom asked puzzled. "Well when you go shopping the lady next door comes over and gets on her knees and blows it right back up."
Liberians, I have few questions I would really like answers to
Please number your answer(s) to match the question(s)s you are answering.
1. What would happen if all of our Liberian non-for-profit organizations deleted their constitutions and by-laws? Most non-profit organizations outside of Liberians do not have constitutions and or by-laws. What would happen if we had no political jah-jah in our organizations?
2. What would happen if we did not put these titles before our Liberian people names? "His or Her Excellency", "Honorable", "chairperson", "Governor", and so forth and so on? If we call the president of Liberia, Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf, what will happen to us after doing so and what is the reason behind these titles anyway? Most places will say: Mr. Bush, president of the USA, not His Excellency Bush!!
3. What would happen if we really wanted to help our country Liberia and did it this way; instead of having hundreds of Liberian organizations going NOWHERE FAST? What if we divided the Liberians living in America by States and divide them by Liberia counties and terrorities. Here’s my madness: Take Liberia nine counties plus five terrorities equal fourteen areas, hopefully it is still that number from when I left. Divide that into the fifty states, which will give you 3.57 states per Liberia area. Let say, all Liberians in the 3.57 states take on one of those counties or terrorities and get together to re-build the area. Do you think Liberia will be on her feet by the year 2012? Again: 9 + 5 = 14 ÷ 50 = 3.57.
4. What if all Liberian government officials had to public a monthly "job" progress report with evidences to all Liberian newspaper? Do you think they will put effort into their jobs? What would happen if the public had the power to fire them for not doing their jobs or not doing it according to their job descriptions?
5. What if the president of Liberia, Mrs. Johnson Sirleaf was to ask each adult Liberians living outside of Liberia to send $50.00US to help re-build the schools in Liberia; how much do you think would be collected and how many schools do you think will be in the position to compete with the western world by the year 2012?
Everyone please have a blessed day and remember to answer the questions you truly can relate to.
