Eric Wrote -> It is very interesting how "FGM" has suddenly become such a big (negative) issue with the Sande Society ritual. From the day I was a child up to this date I cannot recall a single incident in which a girl bled or even came close to the risk of bleeding to death as a result of this so-called Sande FGM”.
My respond -> Then why don’t you take your daughter(s) to get it done since you think it’s the best thing since slice bread? Many girls have bled uncontrollably to no avail; you need to talk to the women in your town or family about what they went through before assuming no bleeding took place my friend. The only reason men want this procedure done so they never have to worry about their wives cheating on them. But why a man would want his mate to never be able to share any sexual emotions with him is beyond me? FGM takes away a women sexual emotional feeling, why do you think most of you that are married to these women are cheating on them, they have nothing to share with you in bed because they don’t feel anything……why….because Eric el all took the feeling away from them. Who give you all the right to take away a woman’s pleasure, especially if it is done in an unsafe way?
Eric Wrote -> And I never was told a story nor did I hear one of anyone being hurt or dying as a result of the so-called Sande FGM.
My respond -> Go talk to the old ladies in your town, let them tell you the many stories they encountered. Let them tell you about the girls that never made it back mentally, physically and emotionally from Sande Society.
Eric Wrote -> I guess western civilization is so aggressively and rapidly taking over everything that what used to be a safe, honored and valued tradition in our country is now subject to ridicule and unabated criticism, often from the very same people whose traditional kinfolks practiced this ritual.
My respond -> Do you know the difference between Sande Society and the KKK? The KKK hurts people outside their race who they think is a thread to them! The Sande Society hurt their own race of people who they think is a thread to them!

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.
