Liberian Listserv Weekly Schedule of Behaviors!

You all remind me every day what day it is. I don’t need to look at my calendar, just read from the Liberian listserv, I will know. It’s a shame how we treat each other weekly. For as long as I have been on this listserv, I have noticed a pattern with us.

Here is what I noticed about us:

Monday - We are cordial to each other, we say thank you and enjoy your week while expressing our view on an issue or two.

Tuesday - We disagree on the issue at hand and call each other uneducated and lacking common sense.

Wednesday - We start calling each other names like dumb, stupid, useless, but stay on the issue at hand.

Thursday – The Congo vs Country and what county you were born in comes out and we are overloaded with insults. We not only continue the name calling, we also insult each other parents and spouses.

Friday - We are mad but out of insults, so we moved away from the issue at hand and start correcting each other sentence and grammars. This is the part that cracks me up the most….priceless!

Saturday - We call each other up and exchange parties, weddings, picnics and conventions locations. We arrange who we are going to meet up with and where. We drink and talk about the same issues we stop talking about on Friday. We dance, laugh, eat and greet each other with respect and leave in a good mood.

Sunday - We gather at churches and praise God/Allah, shake hands/hug each other, exchange phone numbers and promised to call. Get home and call someone to continue the political discussion from Saturday’s night. On Sundaynight, we start a new dialog and the discussion finds its way on the net!

By the way, this behavior is mostly the men, we women do not have the time, we are busy taking care of the home, kids, spouses, and working and sometimes still trying to educate ourselves! You all could learn a thing or two from us!

Well, at least we are consistent and I have NEVER been disappointed…..ever!

WHAT’S WRONG WITH US?????

Thank you,

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.
