Thanks. When you have a higher view of life, you can't be bought out for money or a government job.
Poverty, which terrifies most people, doesn't bother you at all.
It's not like when we die, we shall take our cars and mansions into the grave with us.

There were apparently no resources to send the U 18 team to Egypt ;a team that actually had a shot at qualifying but somehow there's enough cash lying around for a 10 day sightseeing( sorry, training camp )for the senior team in Kigali. Priorities are truly an art form. You Ebola nation keeps finding new ways to entertain us. Any way we meuve.

It's DAY 540 since PC Charles Bahati of Bushenyi shot dead, Julius Ssemwaka, driver of UAX 480C & 'fled' on a boda boda, from armed patrol policemen. Police 'recovered' only the gun. Let's retweet daily to remind @igp_ug1, @CID1_UG & @PoliceUg to #ArrestSuspectPCCharlesBahati.

I disagree. I think there are things lower than paying for sex. I’ll list a few.
- Rape
- Defilement
- Child Abuse
- Domestic Violence
- Child pornography
- Human Trafficking
- Knowingly spreading an STD
- Child Abandonment & Neglect

Paying for sex is the LOWEST thing you can do as a man.
True or False?

Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for seven days. He had less than $2 in his pocket and one shot at turning his life around, a job interview that morning. Then he saw a car flip over and catch fire from his bus window.
He asked the bus driver if he was going to help. "No, but if you get out I'm going to leave," the driver replied. Tucker got out anyway.
He sprinted toward the upside-down, smoke-filled car and found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood.
He unbuckled the man's seatbelt and dragged him clear as the car started to catch fire.
He pulled off his own dress shirt and used it to stop the man's head wound from bleeding, telling him: "You're going to be all right. Your family wants to see you. Keep your eyes open."
The bus left. Tucker missed his interview.
When the story got out, strangers set up a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.
"I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing," Tucker said. "The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."

Food colour Red #3 or erythrosine is still approved for human consumption in Uganda.
It was belatedly banned by the FDA in the US. It causes thyroid cancer in labs.
Doubtful if @UNBSug & @UNDAuthority have the regulatory muscle to keep the levels within safe limits.

For thirty-five years it was illegal to put a particular red dye in your lipstick, because it caused cancer in laboratory animals. It stayed perfectly legal to put the same dye in sweets aimed at children.
The dye is Red 3, the bright cherry colouring known in the trade as erythrosine. In 1990 the American regulator banned it from cosmetics and skin creams, having accepted that it caused thyroid cancer in rats. There is a law, the Delaney Clause, that is meant to be simple. If an additive causes cancer in people or animals, it should not be in the food supply.
So it came out of the lipstick.
It stayed in the food. Sweets, cakes, frostings, some medicines, the cheerful red things pointed straight at children. For more than three decades the very same substance was judged too dangerous to wear on your lips and perfectly fine to feed to a five-year-old.
It took until January 2025, after a campaign group filed a formal petition, for the regulator to finally pull it from food as well. Manufacturers have until 2027 to take it out.
For thirty-five years the system held two positions at once. Too risky for your face. Acceptable for your child's mouth. And it took an outside group, not the regulator, to finally force the contradiction shut.
These are the people whose judgement you are told to trust completely on butter, beef and salt.
Bear that in mind.

the stupidity with south africans is they don’t even take over the business and run it, they just loot it and go back to being poor, retards
A Ghanaian woman raised in South Africa was left homeless after her Durban salon was looted in anti-migrant violence in May. She and her 14-year-old son now sleep on the street next to some 200 other migrants reut.rs/3Qfdprf
