A good and informative write though. Who on earth that is serious about finding true match would start heading to such sites to look for one.
It’s either the person is naive a serious learner that needs do be thought some practical scam lessons.
But I didn’t like that part about Nigerians. Every Nigerian is not a scanner. The earlier you understood that, the better for Lol of us

My brother, I am Jamaican. You know what they say about us. If you do any search or read Interpol’s alerts, you realise, we have surpassed Nigeria in scams. It’s nothing to be proud of… for sure… and not all of us are scammers.
It is a sad thing that my country has such a bad reputation; as well as the capital city being considered in the top ten most dangerous cities in the world

In early days… go way back to the 90s, many people joined out of curiosity. The questionaire was like 100 questions… and people were wondering if it worked, it if could really match people.
In early days, there was matching, and I have heard of people who met online and then married.
But, by 2000 it was just a scam. There was no matching, (save age, sex, maybe colour or religion if one specified).
You try it, just for fun… and you’ll see what I mean.
-
I tried that one day just for the same of finding out what exactly goes on there. All I wanted to find out is it really true that people actually fell in love to the point of even getting married. See enough I went through everything that you have written, you know meeting all kinds of cons artists and scammers. People are only there to dwindle others or make fun. I really feel sorry for the people who actually think that it works maybe for some few lucky ones, but most of them are never serious. Anyway that was just to confirm what you have written and it’s very sad. Hope people will take your tips for real and check it out before falling victim to this sites. Thanks for sharing.

I have heard so many horror stories, even before Oprah did the ‘Scott Grant’ expose.
No one you’d want to meet would be on any of the dating sites I know about. There is nothing there. No matching, no real people just scammers.

i dont believe online dating, i tried it several times, and all is nothing, mybe some members are fake. site like this only suitable for fun, dont be serious

Exactly. One can’t believe in anything seen on a dating site… for they’ve become just sewers.

Online dating fraud I have seen in my real life one of my friend has been ruined trapped by a girl belongs to Costarica.
Using a fake profile on the popular dating site Match.com (they operated as ‘Christian Anderson’, a divorced engineer), the pair managed to persuade a newly divorced mother of two to sign over a staggering £1.6 million, some of it her own, the rest borrowed from family and friends.
The victim, a company director in her 40s who lived in West London, never met Christian face to face. She believed he was working on a project in Africa.
The first payment was (she thought) a loan to buy specialist equipment to help him finish the project and get home. The next was apparently to settle a police fine.
Then came the inheritance that needed ‘freeing up’.
On the basis of just these scant facts, it seems incredible that a well-educated, successful and responsible woman would even consider handing over her life-savings to an apparent stranger – and yet chilling details from the trial hint at the sophisticated brainwashing involved.
There was the well-thumbed copy of the seduction handbook The Game by Neil Strauss found in the home of one of the conmen.-
Wow! That is really something! It does seem incredible, but people are fooled. They are very easily fooled. And one has to be careful

It is always good and advisable to learn from people who have gone ahead of you in every field of life.
We can stand taller and see farther when we climb on the shoulders of our predecessors.
Imagine if Brazil sought those kind of advices, the Olympics would have been a better and different one

Precisely. They could have gifted tickets to civil servants or members of organisations or anything and filled those stadia. But they know everything.
You should see how bad the rooms were. Many Jamaicans were put into unfinished rooms with virtually nothing in there. Usain bought his own T.V. because there was none in his room.

It is said that experience is the father study and practical field as you have explained in detail what you have experienced in the party and play ground.
Really cutting a large cake into equal pieces is very difficult but first time later every body learns how to cut a large cake in the party or at home alone or among the people.
I see the stadium is empty and there are less watchers in the play ground and the tickets given to the needy free of cast effort proves in vain and people did not come to watch the match.
Al the seats remained empty because people have lost interest in games
as I have seen. But peoples’ interest is increasing in wrestling and football match.What we do it is the matter of people’s interest what they watch free of buying tickets. No matter let the people do their work in all field of life.
-
They didn’t give away the tickets. They didn’t go to schools. They didn’t do that. Had they done that it would have been a packed stadium.

We ar3 often told that we should learn from experien a and what better people to learn from then from those who have been there and some that. There is nothing as bad as trying or doing something that you do not know or ha e never experienced it can turn out to be the most embarrassing thing ever.
Usually I have seen people who have gone to top notch restaurants or hotels for dinners or something. You will see them walk majestically to their reserved table and while there you would see them fidgitting not knowing how to seat or where to place their handbags. So there is that panic and unsettling feeling that someone is watching. So someone will decide let me just do what i know and that’s when they mess up. I guess if I can speak for myself, if I was in a place where I do not know or I feel am inexperienced what I do is just sit back and watch people for a little while, see how they behave and carry themselves around. From there I would have an idea of what to do and how to go about it and avoid unnecessary attention.-
Yes. That is the right way to deal with things… not to be presumptuous, not to proceed as if you know everything. And ask for help

Woodrow Wilson was a great and wise president USA and whose achievements cannot be forgotten at any cast. Be was wise, brave and honest of USA. First of all it lays the foundation of press conference on daily basis to update public what the USA president is doing must known to the public. Listen what the history writes about Woodrow Wilson…
His first move—to hold regularly scheduled press conferences with the Washington press corps—was an innovation. Wilson appealed to the reporters assembled in the East Room of the White House for his first press conference, on 22 March 1913, to join him in partnership by interpreting the public opinion of the country to him. Wilson’s intentions were, of course, to control the flow of information from the capital to the country and to use it to shape public opinion. And this he did successfully, on the whole. Wilson discontinued the regular press conferences in June 1915 because of increasing diplomatic responsibilities. He held only a few afterward—one in September 1916, a few in late 1916 and early 1917, and the final one on 10 July 1919.
Wilson also sought to educate and shape public opinion through state papers, addresses, and public statements. No president in American history has used these media with such remarkable power and success as Wilson did. He rivaled Jefferson and Lincoln in his mastery of the English language, but he used the spoken and printed word far more than they had done to shape the course of events. On the highest level of discourse—when he sought to end the war in Europe, to enunciate American war aims, or to plead for ratification of the Treaty of Versailles—Wilson claimed to speak not for himself but for the American people. In his annual message of 8 December 1914 he said:
I have tried to know what America is, what her people think, what they are, what they most cherish and hold dear. I hope that some of their finer passions are in my own heart—some of the great conceptions and desires which gave birth to this Government and which have made the voice of this people a voice of peace and hope and liberty among the peoples of the world, and that, in speaking my own thoughts, I shall, at least in part, speak theirs also.

Woodrow Wilson was a racist; he was a member of the elite. He set back Civil Rights to the 1863 level. He barred non-whites from Princeton when he was President of that University. He came into office and benefited the rich. He fought against trade unions. America only entered the war at the very end and took credit for ‘winning’ when it did very little. When the Veterans protested for money owed them, he sent the National Guard against them.
Women who fought for the right to vote were systematically imprisoned and tortured. It was not until the very last part of his tenure that he gave women the right to vote.
He is no hero.

he is such an evil man, how could the history labelled him as a hero?
I guess back those days, people are blinded with greed and injustice.Nope, he isn’t a hero, he is a tyrant
-
For some reason history thought to elevate him, call him ‘Lion hearted’ as a compliment.

The event that I hate the most in this king’s bio is the record of the Crusades. Showed his real lust for power!
-
The vital aside is that Saladin proved himself the most chivalrous, the most decent, the best leader ever. He was the hero, not this guy.

That’s sad, I used to think that psychologists are people who tend to be around people all the time, and they are people who like to be in their own most of the time they are probably buried in their books, or are socialising somewhere. This is a profession that needs a lot of interaction with people so when you say that Harriet was always suspicious and always on her own I beg to wonder how she even became a psychologist? Anyhow I guess something’s are just as they seem you can never tell how they came up
-
It shocked me and I tried to find out how.. apparently when she went to college it was one of the few subjects she did well in, then went on and got further training.
So there she is; ‘helping’ people.
-
-
It is quite possible she is good in her profession as a psychologist. It is quite possible that by taking the course she learned to understand herself and can now help others because … guess she can say to her patients … “Been there. Done that. Let me show you a better way.”

Good tips, but you could have used a few things like using bullet points and bold letters to explain the things more clearly.

I thought it was clear enough. Try harder next time.

Search engine optimization is a methodology of strategies, techniques and tactics used to increase the amount of visitors to a website by obtaining a high-ranking placement in the search results page of a search engine (SERP) — including Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines.
Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a website on organic (“natural” or un-paid) search engine result pages (SERPs), by incorporating search engine friendly elements into a website.
A successful search engine optimization campaign will have, as part of the improvements, carefully select, relevant, keywords which the on-page optimization will be designed to make prominent for search engine algorithms. Search engine optimization is broken down into two basic areas: on-page, and off-page optimization.
On-page optimization refers to website elements which comprise a web page, such as HTML code, textual content, and images. Off-page optimization refers, predominantly, to backlinks (links pointing to the site which is being optimized, from other relevant websites).

This is very sad that we may be a people like this I the society. There are people I would like to call lo are because they cannot keep friendships going for long. I wonder how such people can be helped, can therapy work for them. It’s bad enough to have someone in the house with you all the time yet you dont communicate or even just spend some quality time together. I also had a friend like that who would rather be in the midst of strangers than the people he knows. I also think such people may have been brought up by parents who were always away from them maybe working or travelling so whenever they would want to talk to someone no one is ever there to listen to them this making them grow up knowing or thinking that they are not loved.
-
I have wondered what causes the inability to bond. I suppose an insecure childhood is a reason, perhaps the need for novelty is another. But if you meet someone whose best friend changes, who is seen with this crew then that crew and there is no permanent person or people, it is clear the idea of being ‘faithful’ does not exist in their minds.

I am always interested in James Bond facts and trivia. Was not aware the character was based on two real life spies. Always thought Fleming was drawing from his own experience in government intelligence. Don’t remember where I came across this tidbit, but I think the name “James Bond” is a real person’s name. But Ian Fleming did not know the person. He just happened to see the person’s name written or displayed somewhere and thought it sounded perfect! 🙂
-
Fleming had a house in Jamaica, on the North Coast, (Goldeneye) where he wrote his novels. James Bond wrote a book about birds of Jamaica, which is where he got the name.
-
Thank you! I couldn’t remember the story behind the name. I do remember the guy’s wife was upset about it because life was never the same for the couple after Secret Agent 007 became so popular. 🙁
-
Fleming’s house is still there and they named the little airport after him.
-
-
In fact, I have read that earlier Bond Movies and novels were more realistic. Later movies had Bond doing more unrealistic things.
-
When Ian Fleming wrote Bond; 50s/60s he didn’t go too far beyond what he knew or what was possible. He wasn’t writing fantasy fiction. When he died the ‘franchise’ continued getting more and more away from real.
-
-
-
wow, this is an awesome review of james bond, i always thaought the he was just a fictional character that doesn’ exist at all.
anyway, james bond had been famous ever since the early 80s, when i was still a kiddo, mom loves james bond back then.
anymore real life story?
how about harry potter?-
There is ‘John Blackthorne’ who I have written about and a real Robinson Crusoe.

-
The movies dramatized by the director on James Bond are the best movies of its age and people like it most and James Bond became famous all over the world but actually it is fictional character but most popular character on earth, known to the whole world people.
But The first official EON Productions James Bond film, Dr. No, was released in 1962. It opened with the gun barrel sequence that would become a trademark of the series. James Bond, played by stuntman Bob Simmons, walked along a white backdrop, shown through the view of a henchman’s gun barrel.
Aware that he was being watched, Bond quickly turned and shot the assassin. Blood dripped down the screen, the gun barrel trailing off and opening to reveal the main titles.
-
It is not a total fantasy. Ian Fleming had been a spy, had heard of Sidney Reilly from his superiors, met William Stephenson.

Point taken but why do i have to work so hard to be cool when i can still be myself and be loved by all. being cool is too much work and takes a lot of energy and time. but i believe it’s only now that people do this things but back in the days people never had the time to do such things, what do you benefit out of being cool in high school anyway. that’s something that we need to remember that when we get cool in school will we need this coolness in the outside world when we are done with school?
-
High School is that twilight zone where one travels from being a child to being an adult. Who and what you admire/despise; aspire/reject; accept/refute; are set at High School.
Where you are at the bottom, a loser, rejected, left out, you miss a lot of the necessary information that will help you in life. Life isn’t just grades or rules, you have to know how people view things. YOu may not agree, but at least you are exposed.
-
What society label as cool doesn’t seem to be so cool.It seem to be an act of ignorants to walk around with your pants down and smoken blunts.I just pray for my up comen youth.Its cool to study and work hard.I want to start that trend.A new cool way to be cool
-
Ahh, yeah… that repulsive new ‘style’. Horrible. Yes, Tariq… one of the things you might research is the ‘down low’. These are men who claim to be straight but have sex with other men. The clue was wearing the pants low… so that a guy walking into a club with two girls could give the signal he wanted sex with men to another guy with girls, and they’d link.

This is so true, if we look back in the days all the things we have now are all ancient to most seniors as you call them. There is just too much going on in the world of technology that would take them a lot of time to grasp the happenings around them. So even when teaching them it takes a lot of time and energy to convince them that such a method would be much faster as compared to what they were used to from before. But as the days and years go by, they are quickly getting used to the technology that has been set out for them
It is hard to believe that people will do such evil things on the Internet. One just has to protect themselves. For example, not using a real name, not using a real address can help.
You can’t supervise them all the time… just have to make them aware that they didn’t win any contest and that they shouldn’t use their real name or address when they can help it.
Seniors are easy prey. But woe to the person who takes advantage of them. One day they be a senior too, if they live. What goes around comes back around.
The thing is people have to be kept on alert that anything that can be scammed will be. Just today an older woman sent me an email which my malware flags. I asked her if she sent me an email. She says yes. I told her that it has malware and she hasn’t answered. She has no idea what she is doing.
