"How well do you go with your New Year's resolutions?" - Gambia

We all are prone to say we are going to start the New Year with some resolutions. "Some I-wills and some will-nots". Chances are, at some time in our lives, we have made a New Year resolution and then broken it. This year, stop the cycle of the resolving to make change, but then not following through. If your resolution is to take better care of yourself then do it. It is simple but you may never know. You might achieve a lot of things just taking care of yourself. Be Realistic - The surest...- full story

The pragmatic, maybe you need to spell out how exactly nice you have been nice to me. It's confusing to lay a finger on this "niceness" you have been so kindly talking about. If anyone, is being civil here that would be me. I keep insisting that you quit calling me names and allow me to state my free will. You have no right(s) to insult my free will, President Jammeh is my leader and I will question his judgement however I see fit, however many times I wish to. If you find that boring, disrespectful, offensive... would be your choice to see it that way. Cannot tell, how many times I had tried to spell it out to you like a child, yet, you kept on dressing up your mouth with colorful langauge. Calling me doped, druggist, and so many other insanely unfit characteristics of my aptitude.

We should both let our idealism die in their own merit, as, you my friend, when it comes to menntal analytical skills - you lacked.

You are so egotistic and you need your ego checked, what within here that I could not take and that its getting to me...so puzzling. Frankly, could not lay a finger on what I could not take from you 'cuz in the first place, you lack morals and let's your pride get the better of you - Back alley crab muffin.

Reasons that you're finding it hard to simply understand my view point is your ego is deeply cut through. You must heal from it before anyone is able to knock any sense into you. This discussion isn't about winning, the last word, or how crazy or dumb one is. It's about who has the right to call to order of the Gambian leadership and how much. The thesis and dessertations you keep putting up here, though they tend to make sense but they seriously are truth and fact deficient.

You see now what you’ve been imprecating to yourself? I knew it could be too much for your forbearance, which is why I tried to be very nice in putting my scene to you and yet you now totally unstable for what had said.

I have been nice to you along the lines of this forum as one or many could point out conspicuously to you Mr. Borry Abraham, but your rejection to respecting the tolerance that I the Pragmatic was trying spread across, and not considering the immensely difference in knowledge and experience, entangle with cautious emotional care for the indignant, that people you hardly know might have acquire while you were asleep, is what is now dragging you to your ruins.

I hardly know you in person B. Abraham, as I barely could even noticed or remember to have met you somewhere before in live, other than these set of connections of course and thanks to technology, circuit boards, wires and electronic components (one could call it internet). But tried at my best to avoid subjects of irrelevance between us was what I had deemed offering to you formerly and you yield to declined in return for my decorum.

You openly and constantly ignored my regards for decency, and you carried on by trying to provoke me with your language of disrespect and directly contradicting honor for modesty. Its unfortunate but a few guys had tried ‘if you would like’ what you have been up to and their lesson where recorded here and forgetting it would the last thing their minds.

At some points Borry, you were at high in amusement to yourself and hopping to subdue ‘I Jung’ with your weird attitudes and was treating it as fair to deal out with someone like so. But for how long could last Borry? Did you not considered so before the branch of that tree you were sitting or relaying on (I mean your brain) betrayed you sooner than you expected.

You must never deem dressing people of my age and experience as cleaver or intelligent, as such is for the young and students who are with intermediate academics. But wise is what you must regard to say when you referring to the sagaciousness old people like me.

I have stopped and would not say no more to hurt your feeling and I have forgive you Mr. Borry for now. But that is base on, once you now know my experience had already taught me the sort of game playing while I also have the knowledge of the cards you held for the sport of your delight.

One must not disregard the importance of the paddock grass eating old caw buddy, as it could be milked and would provide during desperate circumstance. We must embrace what we Gambians have and no other but us alone have.

Now I see you are trying to sell your intelligence not sure to who. Wow! that was quite some comment there, for someone who feels more informed and intelligent. In the first place, I never made any comments or suggestions that made me stand out. Again, that's your look and understanding of things.



I can't tell you how a person who endured cocaine or devil pills act like, so for you to know such detail raises questions. That expression is just your frustration over trying to ground me. I stand by what I said earlier despite the fact that you keep denying it. You lacked serious maturity to language, anything that fails to drum up your ways in your view is evil.

Name calling and ugly misrepresentation of language goes a long way to reveal the real you. I am well thought out, I know what I had been writing and it has a purpose. The fact that you were unable to to cacth up or truly understand my essence again spells something about you.

Simply re-evaluate yourself and quit barking at the wrong tree. I am not petty in anyway, straight forward, and genuine and I see people the same I do for me. If I lost you along the lines, its a decent thing to ask but to assume I contradict myself is just a sad way of insulting someone. 'Cuz you are simply airing your inability to interpret one's thought process. My intent has never been to have a last word - that never crossed my mind. Interesting you brought that up, is that what you are trying to do here? If that's the case why hide behind phony language and deceptive reversed psychology. You need to bag it pal.
Borry Abrahams
At least you got the guts to call me doped and druggist, I wonder how you knew or are able to notice that. It never crossed my morals nor does my pride dictate belief that I am intelligent. If I am, I keep it to myself.
The difference with me is that I try to see what other people see. May not like the things they say or have to but one thing I do best is to embrace and support themin every which way. I believe that everyone has free will, therefore, it gives them the right to say anything they so desire. Now, to judge or label such sentiments as stupid or idiotic is simply callous.
Your problem Mr Pragmatic is that you have an unchecked filthy ego. It kills, and it's evident that 'cuz you thought I hurt you, you are hell bent on trying to put me in my place. I'm already am, despite my stupidity and unstable mind due to "drugs and devil pills" as you kindly put it - such desparation for recognition. When I sit to respond to your malicious comments, my reasons are never based on winning or losing. There is nothing within to win or loose, I am simply defending the fact that I have the right to express my free will whether it speaks your way or not. I am Gambian, and so has the rights to say anything I want. Now if you chose to insult me based on those sayings as you and Abu did, it's your choice. Although I may have liked it nor further entertain your lack of decency, in a funny way, I am actually proud to be defending your free will.
Will credit your winning thesis, it deserves all accolades, nonetheless I am bestowed the right to be part of Gambia and the world's social process. That is something you could never take away even with your insults. By I have read them all, only problem is insults never break me down, it's a tell tale of frustration and expression of sheer loss of pride.
I will challenge the Gambia. Presidency anyhow, anytime and every which way I want. Be it true, false, or contrary to your values, will exercise my rights. You got something to say, I will be here.
Borry Abrahams
Of course I knew what you’ve been imploring from me all along but you know what doped, I might have to try and be at your services in case the forum is getting bored for your liking and I will try to do things the nicest way possible.

Outwardly enough though and to be in contradiction of I what I could believe, I don’t even know how can I the Pragmatic be satisfied or encouraging an argument with someone who is utterly odd like you Mr. Borry? That of course could only be meaning one thing or the other, but it’s ‘having a knock on the brain’ for me.

If recklessness is your fervent subject of dialogue or method of challenging me while it is also what you are on pursuit for your potential, then I should think you had fail to declared yourself since day one when I tried to encourage you and Abou to place consideration before anything else, hence our contribution and the publications of one’s view in connection with the news events and affairs our state Gambia, in representation of the truth and virtue is foremost.

Reading your sentiment as you kept calling it Mr. Borry, which as well had reflected in all your postings, one could realize the fact that Abou, I the Pragmatic and other people let you have the last word in all your previous argument or debates was simply because you had kept on sounding very dramatic for someone to be wasting their valuable time trying to encourage you to write anything more.

What I mean here is ‘Mr. Borry’, you don’t even know or understand what you wrote or talking about in most of your arguments and at very considerable periods. Saying one thing in a paragraph and then contradicting yourself in the other like someone who had been on cocaine drugs or devil pills 24hrs, trying to become a king in one night, making yourself sound like an intellectual while very confused to others with your usage of words and expression. Oh yes Mr. Borry, could you please drop it now before it’s too late, because that had been the trill of your participation here in this forum if you would care to learn from those who know.

I don’t known why you believe you can teach me anything other than heedlessness, but I would not wanna let this post end without letting you Borry knows for fact that, it’s not me the Pragmatic who is getting on your nerves but the truth is what you are swallowing from the only person who can give it to you in the English language which you had failed to learn during your High School Academic ‘if at all you attended any’, as still, and that is not going down so easy with you since you started to appear here.

If you think you have grown pass the way I described you Borry, then you are indeed very hopeless in your own shadows as you hardly know your real existence and your where about hence feeding yourself with emptiness but stuck in blaming your youth experience is your stupid excuse.

If you believe you love arguing with reasons, then try and get help quickly, and that should be the type of help you cannot get from here, hence people who don’t understand you would just abuse you instead of giving you the help you need. Don’t you see Borry while its obvious than you not believing me, you have blame me for making feel like a Roman Soldier while I was only declaring the facts that needs knowing to the lost people like yourself.

I have tried to be nice this time, which might not be the same if you don’t change subject Mr Borry Abraham.
The Pragmatic - United Kingdom
For your edification, I have grown past what you labelled me. My wisdom maybe youth but experience taught me to defend to the death of people's rights to say even things I despise.



So, yup, the Pragmatic I love to argue within reason, however, I am not sure where..., within-I am arguing, nor with whom.



The notion that free speech, while important, needs to be held in balance with the avoidance of offence is question-begging, 'cuz it connotes that offence is something to be avoided. It's my understanding that free speech indeed causes hurt, but there is nothing wrong with knowledge being advanced through destruction of bad ideas. Mockery and derision are among the most powerful tools in the process.

I am entitled to defend my making, and right to be, if you chose to butt in, you shall receive what you asked for. Most of your writing is a sad story endlessly depicting abstracts that does not interest me to pursue. However, I will fight to defend your right to keep posting. Talking of saving time for what's worth writing or spending it on, is such a warped understatement. Just think about it, its hypocritic but I doubt you would be graceful enough to take the time and rethink the humble beginning of your malcontent.

You live to judge people, pretend to know what their fate will be simply 'cuz they do not follow your thought process. It's sad, for someone your status to be acting like you have the right to judge. Your ways aren't always ultimate, we're empowered to think and do things they way it fits us regardless of your ways. Sometimes, the wisdom you try so hard to share makes me feel short like a Roman soldier.

I am about done being bullied by you, so if you wish not to escalate this issue then end this, 'cuz you are slowly getting on my nerves.
Borry Abrahams
I thought I had seen it all in my life time when I saw people paying to be horrified and mortified, but seemingly enough to be in breach of mind, all that had change hence I have sense somewhat that some people had gone pass that stage and the edges of idiocy in desperation for celebrity status and reckoning by Shaytan and his followers.

Keep trying for your ambitions to be fulfilled but to be surely doomed to destruction will be the aftermath, if fait in All-Mighty is to be belittled by yourself indulgence without retreat and repentance for virtue and truth.

Many could ague that the ball has not fall for them yet and while the rest hasn’t wake up to the fact that there is nothing they can do about it hence the most important decisions are made from up and above human reach.

Evil lip service that people propagate and renders for the services of deviltry these days have since become the matters of consequence for what I the Pragmatic would always deem totally unfit for purpose, as they are wholly and persistently causing the fragmentation in our public domain.

Urging people to face up to their evil demons are not thereby seen as our confronts of the day to days but to have faith in dismaying those with true reliance in God-Almighty, human beings and their God given rights, degrade the weak or indigent and etc for the interest of Satanism are quickly adopted and spread as we speak. Which are certainly also highly spirited and observed by many louse public figures, ailing Governments, leech leaders, bloodsucker public bureaus and organisations in the World.

Literally, I the Pragmatic is hereby as always for the declaration of urge for those of many to come out of their own build evil shells and face up to their evil demons. It might not be easy yes as obvious as ever but try is the best factor and it is deem necessary before it’s too late hence life here in this World is just for temporary measures.
The Pragmatic - United Kingdom
If you wish to take my profoundly statement as personally Mr. Borry, then it’s entirely up to you but to let you know, I had post that column for the agenda of change in our attitude towards morality. Sorry and no disrespect but I have a very limited time for this forum and I can’t afford to waste it in the sort of argument that you adore.

The alternatively preferred state of mind here is, try to be in a state of tendering what is on pursuit for change and improvement in every morally and distinctively reckoning by a bless-foremost state of affairs in the modern day society.
The Pragmatic - United Kingdom
Politically speaking, this is a Right and Leftist world, meaning we live in a world where a handful of us may believe in or support of the tenets of the political left, in other words, be an avid support of social change with a view towards a more egalitarion society - Social Democracy, whilst others (the Right) generally support the preservation of traditional social orders which often include social stratification.



Neither negate the other, just remember, we make societies as simple as that. Thus, difference in opinion is a natural thing, it is necessary if we are to achieve peace and progress. None is stupid, idiotic, or a buffoon to wading away from the general sentiment.



Difference in opinion occur as a result of your understanding of issues under discussion and even whereas you do, a thing or two forexample an ersatz hope of benefitting from a procession maybe the reason you took sides.



That being shared, I think its a genuine request to ask that we include each other, walk together, and most importantly come in where one is weaker (support each other). Some are slow or fast to things in terms of grasping technicalities. My point is, if you felt I am stupid in some way or in a lot of ways, kindly tell me in a nicer way how dumb I am and probably suggest ways how I can be better. If your response is void of that, I wonder what that makes 'cuz people with wisdom always have something to offer.



It's my resolution each of us spread some peace around this year, you can argue but keep it friendly. I am not afraid of being stupid, illiterate, uninformed etc but sure would love to learn to be like you. In fact, if you actually know who I am, I gaurantee most of you would be surprisingly shocked. I am Gambian and have always been known as Borry Abrahams through my Nusrat High School days, though Abrahams isn't my last name.



Like I had noted earlier, I am not obligated to prove anything to anyone. You just have to accept me they way I am, or march on - graceful.
Borry Abrahams
Many could ague that the ball has not fallen for them for the past years seemingly but it should be, ‘how will you ponder your New Year decisions’?

I thought I had seen it all in my life time when I saw people paying to be horrified and mortified, but seemingly enough to be in breach of mind, all that had change hence I have sense somewhat that some people had gone pass that stage and the edges of idiocy in desperation for celebrity status and reckoning by Shaytan and his followers.
