  1. She is paralyzed from the waist down after jumping out of a window. Even if her reproductive system still works on schedule, I doubt there will be many suitors to test it all things considered. Of course, we have no way of knowing how much she is suffering after killing her children. IMO, her body language does not seem too remorseful. She strangled her 3 children with exercise bands. Mistrial indicates not all jurors agreed she was mentally ill. Also, they could have considered about 3 or 4 charges other than murder 1 to convict her. She conveniently sent the father on a trip to CVS. During that time he was out of the house she killed the children. The father who is now her ex-husband testified in her defense. He thinks she didn't get enough psychiatric medical treatment. There are some people (human monsters) who commit crimes in such a way that they deserve to die. Even if we take capital punishment off the table, life without the possibility of parole is better than good enough for the human monsters. Charlie Manson led a cult-like group of flunkies to kill nine people. This woman strangled her 3 children with her own bare hands. Both of them are human monsters. IMO, she's worse than Manson. White folks are interesting when it comes to their willingness or lack thereof to harshly punish themselves. They will exhaust every measure trying to go easy on one of their own. However, when non-white folks commit crimes, white folks are willing to hand out long rides even for offenses that do no reach the level of human monster/savage.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Preliminary NTSB investigation indicates pilots did not activate speed brakes or anti-thrust reversers. Between data recorder & what happened, those two pilots may be facing license suspension &/or further disciplinary actions.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. An Illinois woman killed her 2-year old soon by hanging. She was closely following the Clancy case. Hopefully, claiming psychosis won't be a new get out jail free card for women who don't want to raise their children. These unnecessary child murders could be prevented through birth control or using child support services. While it is not the best system, putting a child up for adoption gives them a chance to live versus the alternative.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Brotha @Pioneer1 beat me to the punch in starting a separate thread about freedom. Adding liberty to the mix ends the circular nature of the discussion in the Captain Traore thread.๐Ÿ˜ Liberty is the freedom people have in civilized societies.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. As long as hunans are involved with AI on any level & they have agendas, there's room for negative results, greed & corruption etc..๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Of course, I believe if an enemy attacks they have to be dealt with accordingly. I just don't see the point in dropping bombs on schools & other places just because a country isn't friendly &/or they are building nuclear weapons. Much more powerful countries have nukes. The USA isn't bombing Russia. They are supposed to be the biggest threat. We already know it's BS used to justify military spending.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Sure. Many leave for better opportunities abroad. It's harder for folks to stick around when the government & companies aren't paying well. Kicking out the French was a start. Haiti did it 222 years ago & their sh8t hasn't been right yet. Could take a long time to see positive results. Right. The proof is in the pudding. Actions speak louder than words & marching around.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. I'm aware of the African & Haitian version of zombies. When folks are high on certain drugs we call them zombies too. I.still don't see how these zombies are productive & constructive in solving problems or liberating their countries from oppressors. Winning a war to protect one's interests comes down to power, control & access to reaources. I don't believe a bunch of innocent people should be killed in that regard.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. I have zero emotional investment here. No rush to judgment either. She already admitted to killing the children. Lock her up for life or give her the cocktail. Sure. Some white folks felt empathy for her & wanted to see her get mental health treatment instead of prison time. If that woman had been non-white, no amount of PPD would have spared her azz from prison. Those same white folks would have called her a monster. The media barely talks about the real victims of her crime...those innocent children. Reminds me of how white folks bristle at the thought of facing charges when their childen become mass shooters. White folks believe in a different justice system when it applies to them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Much respect to Ms. Gloria Steinem for standing on bizness in fighting for women's rights & living on her own terms. RIP to an icon.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Right. I reject the belief that white supremacists are thr smartest people on the planet. A willingness to gain power & control by any means necessary doesn't make a person smarter. Most old people aren't producing much of anything. True dat. Plenty younger folks who aren't worth a d8mn.๐Ÿคฃ This falls under the ridiculous & absurd.๐Ÿคฃ They went to war just fine without it. Same objective. Killing people. Many technological advances have come & gone over time. The basic needs of human beings remains unchanged.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Greed & corruption definitely aren't unique to Africa. It's a universal thing. Not laziness on my part. Many people wouldn't know what I was referring to if I typed cedis instead of dollars. ๐Ÿ˜ If the government or company chooses to use human labor instead of heavy machinery or robots, the workers can protest but it may not change anything other than put them out of work. People have to organize themselves & force the government to work for & take care of them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. According to the late NF Jr., human activity should be constructive & solving problems. ๐Ÿ˜ Hopefully those believers are using that information or knowledge constructively. Not just sitting around talking about it. The current life expectancy of human beings in the USA is about 79 years on average. IMO, that average is perfect. Most people aren't producing too much of anything after they reach 55 years old. The other 24+ years they're just alive & taking up space on the planet. Zombies would have to be tamed. There's no shortage of perfectly normal human beings capable of providing labor. There's a lot of ridiculous & absurd sh8t that people actually believe & defend. True. They had no use for such technology either. Things should be rejected for which there is no proof or evidence & especially if it does not produce constructive results &/or solve problems.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. A lot of information is presented as distractions to keep people from questioning that which they can see that actually affects their daily lives & existence. Conspiracies, Religion, politics, sports & music, etc., are forms of entertainment used to keep the masses in check. How would people benefit from believing in such things? How would Zombies & trapping spirits in bottles benefit humanity? Distracting people with the ridiculous & absurd gives them less bandwidth to be constructive & solve real problems.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. @Pioneer1 ...I think your last post is quoting mine. Right. Some folks gotta pay UP. Greed & corruption requires a certain amount of intelligence too. Greed & corruption is a higher level of stealing. They are using their knowledge to get over on people African countries do have their own currency. It's just easier for me to use the US equivalent. That's where the greed & corruption comes into play. The equipment already exists. Africans have access to it. Just a matter of the government & private industry using the equipment to build uo their countries instead of doing half-assed jobs & stealing the money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Being hundreds of years old would be one helluva secret to keep.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Post-Partum Depression (PPD) is a very real condition. This should have been evident to the people around her. The children should have been removed from her care as soon as she started taking meds. Interestingly, the defense was not based on PPD. They were claiming the woman had a psychotic espisode. Along the lines of Andrea Yates who drove her children into the water. These things do not happen out of the blue. Plenty warning signs. Especially if mental health professionals are already involved.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. There is no shortage of engineers, architects, scientists, construction workers & tradespeople, etc., in African countries. Not to mention those living abroad could take their knowledge back home. They don't have to depend on non-Black foreigners. Those charitable donations sent home is the main thing keeping the people afloat in the face of greed & corruption. Foreigners are bribing the government officials. There is a deeper issue that makes people greedy & corrupt. It is harder motivating people to work a back-breaking job that only pays $10-20 dollars per day. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. A Massachusetts woman admittedly killed her 3 children but claims she was suffering a psychotic episode. Today, a mistrial was declared after 85 witnesses & a lot of time & money was spent on this case. These people should be d8mn glad I'm not the Supreme ruler over the land. There would be no trial for this type of case.๐Ÿ˜ Regardless of whether a person is mentally unstable, such a crime should be punished immediately. No jury. The choice would be death or life imprisonment. Either way, that person iwould no longer be a threat to society. Before anyone gets dewey-eyed &/or think it's harsh, people are sent to fight & die in senseless wars & drop bombs on women & childen. Humans have no problems with killing each other. There are certain crimes I have zero tolerance especially when it comes to childen, women & elderly people. They should be a protected group.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. I've heard the greed & corruption in under-developed countries is the reason wages are low & high-ranking government officials & contractors work together stealing money while doing the bare minimum to build the country &/or sustain it. The people would have to overthrown the corrupt government & put folks in place who are working for the greater good of their country. Captain Ibrahim Traore is a good example of a leader who appears to be working to make his country...Burkina Faso better.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. I just find it amusing that immigrants pour so much energy & effort into fleeing their home countries instead of building it up. We don't see millions of FBA/AfroAmericans leaving the USA & showing at the borders of [insert country here]. Before someone brings up ex-pat FBA/AfroAmericans living in pick a place....it pales in comparison to the # of people coming to the USA.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. I just listened to a foreign-born man who survived th 9/11 attacks claim the greatness of America & how much he loves POTUS OJ for keeping it safe by kicking out illegal immigrants. Had that guy not showed up 25 years ago, he might be rounded up by ICE & put on the 1st flying carpet up outta here.๐Ÿคฃ It cracks me up to hear people who were once immigrants themselves complaining about &/or throwing shade at others for coming to America i.e. our country.๐Ÿ˜ Those same foreign-born people who are naturalized citizens now have nerve to be Conservatives. No different from sellout & bootlicking n8gglets. Master is we sick.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. If I claim a vacant house & start living there & furnish it & someone breaks in & takes everything, does that make them a thief?๐Ÿ˜ It's not like I own the place. Can't call the police to file a report.๐Ÿคฃ White folks took the land that is the United States of America. Same goes for Australia. They shouldn't accuse anybody of stealing.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Beyond black & white, shades of gray aren't always about right or wrong. Depends on the age/stage of the woman & her needs. That trampoline loses its springs. Over time, a woman wants a man who can afford to take her to medical appointments &/or pick up prescriptions & listen to her talk.๐Ÿ˜ When the s8x wears off, she's still gonna want a companion who can provide & protect. That's s broad brush to paint Africa. The continent already has developed countries. They don't need foreigners to sustain them. Greed & corruption especially within governments are the biggest obstacles to progress & moving the countries forward.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Gotcha. Figured as much in terms of your beliefs. The blessing & curse of being human is that we get to think of this stuff especially when it comes to our existence.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
