  1. Troy Well we were in our 20s....and he should have KNOWN better than to come at me with some shit like that, lol. What was he expecting me to say in response? Let ME try???
  2. https://npr.org/2025/01/01/nx-s1-5245211/new-orleans-attack-bourbon-street-shamsud-din-jabbar The New Year 2025 has started off tragically. A truck plowed into a group of people killing 15 and injuring 35. It is considered an act of terrorism. The FBI has already identified the main suspect who was shot and killed by police. He was an Army veteran. Authorities are still looking for a few people who may have planted explosives in the area. Keep your head on a swivel. Pay attention to your surroundings. There are no guarantees. Try to stay safe. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. Continue to live your life to the fullest.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Hello everyone! I am asking for you vote in a book cover contest @bedsidereading. Digital Assassins, is # 5 in the General Fiction category. The voting URL is: BedsideReading.com/VOTE Thank you sooo much for your support!
  4. Even at a very simple level if we worked on our spirituality we would eliminate wars, crime, and allocate your wealth better... you can do both.
  5. I'm still trying to see how Lord Jamar ended up in the mix...lol. "Yo......my word is bond, regardless."
  6. Modern equivalent of The National Enquirer and Star magazines. I'm sure you all are old enough to remember those rags being in the grocery stores and newsstands. Funny thing is here we are many decades later and gossip is usually centered around 1) celebrities and 2) UAPs/UFOs and aliens.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. ProfD Based on what I've seen, some of those "red states" like Wyoming and Idaho and the Dakotas have some of the poorest shittiest government assistance programs available to those in need. They are so Conservative and traditionalist that they feel like people should rely on the local churches or their families for assistance if they "fall on hard times". Which means they don't even prepare for lifetime or long term homelessness of the type you see in major cities like New York or D.C. or L.A. There idea of "hard times" is some White man with a house and truck who loses his job for 8 months and has to rely on the local church for food or a couple times to keep his lights on. Not entire droves of homeless people and meth addicts living in tents. Like you said, the demographic is mostly White...though I might add a huge number of the population in most of those areas are illegal Latino immigrants who stay in shacks out in the rural areas and keep to themselves like slave to do the hard labor. They exist by the MILLIONS in those little rural corn-field counties. Both groups would rather have as little to do with the government as possible and tend to rely on family and local churches for their needs.
  8. Olga reads like a woman's name. Looked ill is synonymous with falling on hard times. Those states have enough shelters and missions to house the homeless. Nobody has to live on the streets there. Those states won't have any rowdy azz non-white folks either. Dysfunctional white folks will be well taken care of there. In fact, if I was unhoused, I'd make my way to one of those states instead of a crowded major city.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. @richardmurray Are you equating public sentiment towards the Panthers and Nat Turner with Neeley?! Are you equating the public's reaction to the activities of Neely with the likes of an Angela Davis or Eldride Cleaver?! Are you suggesting that Neely did not need mental help and are equating the motivation for his actions with those of Nat Turner? I suspect places like ND and WY do not have the high level of homelessness as places like NYC. But yeah. large cities have advantages you could grow fat living off the food that is discarded. But the tradeoff is being homeless in NYC is very dangerous -- especially if you are mentally ill. Is this statement directed at me? Richard this statement is false on its face. The data tells a different story, and NYC's crime stats tell a better story than what actually happens on the street than what the data says, due to crime being under reported and miscategorized by the police. You say you lived in NYC in the 1970's if you lived in Harlem you have to know many women who were mugged during that decade and the next. I also be surprised if you did not know someone who was murdered between 1970 and 1990.
  10. Laying dormant within is the Christ You are Unaware/Unconscious....in that sense you need Awakening - woke It is there for all... The Knowledge is no longer Hidden....@Troy just posted links to most of what's in the public Domain - check them out? The Practice and The Discipline is Difficult Here is at primer The Virgin Birth True I give it the way I got it I do not have it that way. This "No" means a willingness to Know True... What is meant is that on this subject your mind is made up and nothing will change it Past Conversation. True.... Did you ask the Question? Has it been Answered?
  11. I don't think "mystery" is a concept worms are capable of experiencing. Again, how do you know that they have not been trying to communicate with us, be we simply don't have the ability to receive, interpret, or comprehend their communication.
