@ Lady E,i am so sorry for your bad experience,life is cruel sometimes.
I love quotes and these are few quotes to ponder:
"There's a sucker born every minute" by P.T. Barnum
"Trust, but verify" by Ronald Reagan
PS: I believe we need to do our homework before we blame others. I guess caveat emptor(a legal term for buyer beware) would be appropriate here.
is been long,i hope all is well? It hurts me that my country's image is damaged internationally for something that worth nothing,please i appologize on my country's behalf that you all forgive and forget,and please do give us another chance.
I and many other honest Nigerians are working hard to eliminate the scourge from my country,so if you receive any scam mail from any Nigerian,please do inform me for proper actions,and if you have been fraud in the past,please accept my sympathy,you can still contact me,i will see what i can do to help.Please give us another chance,i plead?
Try being an Arab from a Christian Mother and Muslim Father but with a Moslem name - it's a laugh a minute the reputation that goes before us that seems to fill people's consciousness before individuality can!

Have you been to Australia Paraglider? Australians use humor to stereotype even the Scots.

My father in law, for example, used to say that a Jewish merchant could buy from a Scotsman, sell to a Yorkshire man, and make a profit. Both Scottish people and Yorkshire people have a reputation for moths flying out of their wallets when they open them...

That was an example of extreme drought.
Aus, no, not yet, but I've worked with plenty in the Gulf.
My family have made a lot of friends from Scotland, as many arrived here in the nineteen fifties. Loved the humour!
I was born in Scotland and I think that is why people often mistake my humour for being rude
Had to laugh at your comment! Maybe Scottish humor is similar to Australian humor!
Have you seen "The Last King of Scotland"? Everbody wants to be a Scotsman: even Idi Amin!
Well, until you meet a Nigerian, you can't really say anything. You can't clump people all into one group, that's ridiculous. I have plenty of Nigerian friends, and they'd never try to scam anyone. There are bad people everywhere in the world.
I've never met a Nigerian, but African people(the native ones)fascinate me and so I write a lot of books on them.
all countries have Fraudsters, its that some have more than other
countries.

Can we all admit that there is some amount of racism or prejudice in us?When you think about it, it is completely natural to show prejudice against those who are different than us, and history has shown us that.

Hey guys, put yourself in my shoes for a sec here. I know its hard as hell, but just try. How would you feel if someone was spreading abominable stuff about your country? Stuff you know for a fact isn't true. How do you know it isn't true? Well, for starters, you live in the country, and something...

In my opinion horoscopes don't always work for a number of reasons. The first of these is of course the inpossiblity to apply regulations to an industry which is at best extreamily schetchy and at worst infultrated with fraudsters. I am myself, as a psychic extreamily reluctant to publish...
