Posts: 180my 2 cents on cattle class
Jackson should ban this thread we are making as its not about sex, but I had to chime in.
I stay here in India 6 months of the year. Though we don't call it the "cattle class" it certainly is worse than the cows way of traveling. During Rush hours, you can lift your feet up to rest them. This is of course when you are standing. It is literally that jammed here in India.
It sounds like the conditions of Kenya's 3rd class is better than India's First Class during Rush Hour.
Anyhow, I don't think anyone is being racist here. Its just a term to describe how people are jammed into a train. "Cattle Class" is a much better description than "3rd Class." Just my 2 cents.

I have some bad experiences with Somalis. They eat from you, get you to feed their various relatives then act all bitchy afterwards.

To the other point it's not a signe of no respect to poor people, it's more a kind of sarcasm. When people in Germany fly tourist class in plane, they call it wooden class, because it's so uncomfortable. ;-)

Firstly don't mistake my comments as implying that rodney rude was being racist. If you read my post you will see that at no point did I state he was being racist. Its only you who has misunderstood my comments and blown things out of all proportion by suggesting I am complaining of racism. I don't even know if rodney rude is a mzungu in the first place so it would be wrong for me to even think he was being racist.
Secondly, who are treating the people like cattle? If you ask me I would say it is the very people who call their side of the train 'cattle class'. Why did rodney rude choose those specific words? He could have said 'third class' instead. We would have understood him very well. In my vision, he saw the poor people who cannot afford second class and willingly pay for third class (knowing all too well the conditions) as being rather like cattle in that they are content to travel in conditions that he likens to cattle pens. In reality third class is in no way near the conditions found in cattle pens. The people sit on wooden benches. Not on the floor. So the idea that the train officials are the ones treating them like cattle (as you are trying to imply) does not cut it. Rodney rude, and you both think that people who travel third class are like cattle because they are too poor to travel first class like yourselves. Its rather snobbish of you two and I rather think you should confine that kind of language to private messages.

Posts: 363Cattle class eh? First time I have ever heared of it. How creative some people can be in relating people with cattle. Just how does it relate to mongering? Anyway that aside.
Here are some more pictures of my current GF. How did we meet? Well one Sunday I decided to just book a room at sweathearts in mtwapa (cost me around 400/= for a self contained room complete with fan but sans TV) and spend the evening at black havana. Since it was a little early (8. 00pm) there was not much action or girls. However, after about 30 minutes into drinking my whitecap beer, in came this hottie who headed straight for the womens room. Fortunatley I was seated along that path so when she came out I bekoned her with invitation to sit with me and have a drink. Gladly she obliged. We ended up spending the night at sweathearts and in the morning gave her 2000/= and a mobile phone (because she claimed not to have one and I was keen to contact her again).
She is 21 years old and has been in the mongering scene for around 8 months now. I took the opportunity to find out from her the comparisons between locals and foreigners. It is from her that I learned there are two kinds, I. E the mzungu wa maana (worthwhile foreigner) and the mzungu (I. E foreigner). The foreigner is no better than the well off locals as they tend to be very mean with their money (I. E offer no more than 1000/= for LT). Apparently many of the casurina foreigners fall into that category. The worthwhile foreigner tends to be the ones living in Nyali and owning property in kenya (I. E Expatriates and business men) and give 2000 to 5000/= for one night. I have even heared of cases of high class prostitutes charging as much as 30, 000/= per night to clients who tend to be diplomats and high flying businessmen. Such women however tend to be well educated and living in the posher areas of the city, some of them also hold full time day jobs and a local boyfriend. BTW, most local girls who made it from poverty to the jet set life did so by having an affair or marriage to a foreign investor who was looking for a way of buying property etc etc in kenya. Apparently its much easier to do this if you marry a local girl as the property can then be bought under her name.

Excuse me dear Musomba but I think that your software to understand the Mzungu thinking is quite too old.
We, especially the open-minded mongerers of this site, are not 19th century racists!
To say "cattle class" doesn't mean "people in the train ARE cattle".
To say "cattle class" means "people are treated LIKE cattle".
Do you understand my friend?

There is also 'cattle class' in other part of the world. I've been personally experiencing it in eastern europa (in bus). These word are a simple image and a simple critic of the condition of transport.
SO? Is it forbidden to say 'cattle class' when you travel in Africa? Every critic should be then understood as a racist attack?
Beyond this, I prefer to stick to the goals of this site, that is, mongering.
Please forget the binary black/white thinking here.
Tafadhali Musomba, naomba usilete habari za ubaguzi katika tovuti hii, ahsante.
Wako.
Carl

Musomba2006,
http://www.chikicho.com/ is the site. I have really enjoyed Musomba2006 website and I think that it contributes to this forum. At the least it is going to peak interest. Musomba has given us something to look at and enjoy along with his expertises.

Musomba, post pictures anyway. I think there is a general rule about posting that could be perceived as marketing..so just forget it and be happy. More great pictures from you will inspire others to post more great pictures!
