That’s perfectly understandable mpendwa. But you do know that’s not him?

"it's better if they stay in afrika and live among real men, than come here and be a doormat for some crazy xalimo with multiple personalities." Speaking from experience are we?:

Malika- hellow only to AT&T?

that's Amílcar Lopes Cabral and no his not a dictator. "The application has not been answered so far, and I will make an internal selection," ???

Jacl- thats a shame. AT&T- how will you do that?

Hello Ppl. can someone get me some tea?

Sounds like Omar.

Well, I dragged a male colleague to watch The Reader with me (anyone seen it? if not I encourage you to watch with a male companion, misery needs company and all) what an experience and he thought my reaction was well funny (silent the whole time/could’nt move) I was thoroughly embarrassed. Seriously, I don’t understand how Kate could win anything for it, it was soft P0rn. Hello ladies.

ohh yes it is, and i need food. Brb

Morning Ladies and Gents.

On National Liberation and Culture Wh

Culture, whatever the ideological or idealist characteristics of its expression, is thus an essential element of the history of a people. Culture is, perhaps, the resultant of this history just as the flower is the resultant of a plant. Like history, or because it is history, culture has as its material base the level of the productive forces and the mode of production. Culture plunges its roots into the humus of the material reality of the environment in which it develops, and it reflects the organic nature of the society, which may be more or less influenced by external factors. History enables us to know the nature and extent of the imbalances and the conflicts (economic, political and social) that characterize the evolution of a society. Culture enables us to know what dynamic syntheses have been formed and set by social awareness in order to resolve these conflicts at each stage of evolution of that society, in the search for survival and progress. Just as occurs with the flower in a plant, the capacity (or responsibility) for forming and fertilizing the germ which ensures the continuity of history lies in culture, and the germ simultaneously ensures the prospects for evolution and progress of the society in question. Thus it is understood that imperialist domination, denying to the dominated people their own historical process, necessarily denies their cultural process. It is further understood why the exercise of imperialist domination, like all other foreign domination, for its own security requires cultural oppression and the attempt at direct or indirect destruction of the essential elements of the culture of the dominated people. Study of the history of liberation struggles shows that they have generally been preceded by an upsurge of cultural manifestations, which progressively harden into an attempt, successful or not, to assert the cultural personality of the dominated people by an act of denial of the culture of the oppressor. Whatever the conditions of subjection of a people to foreign domination and the influence of economic, political and social factors in the exercise of this domination, it is generally within the cultural factor that we find the germ of challenge which leads to the structuring and development of the liberation movement. In our view, the foundation of national liberation lies in the inalienable right of every people to have their own history, whatever the formulations adopted in international law. The aim of national liberation is therefore to regain this right, usurped by imperialist domination, namely: the liberation of the process of development of the national productive forces. So national liberation exists when, and only when the national productive forces have been completely freed from all kinds of foreign domination. The liberation of productive forces and consequently of the ability freely to determine the mode of production most appropriate to the evolution of the liberated people, necessarily opens up new prospects for the cultural process of the society in question, by returning to it all its capacity to create progress. A people who free themselves from foreign domination will not be culturally free unless, without underestimating the importance of positive contributions from the oppressor’s culture and other cultures, they return to the upwards paths of their own culture. The latter is nourished by the living reality of the environment and rejects harmful influences as much as any kind of subjection to foreign cultures. We see therefore that, if imperialist domination has the vital need to practise cultural oppression, national liberation is necessarily an act of culture. National Culture- Amilcar Cabral

Here I was thinking your brother had the stamina/brainpower to keep up with our very own roadrunner. But sadly not. Ibti-Bangoli??
