  1. God has a sense of humor. Maybe He allows for imperfections in order to give human beings something to do.
  2. The former POTUS is doing and saying whatever it takes to prove he's a certified clown who should never be elected again. Unfortunately, there's millions of minions who are willing to buy whatever Orange Julius is selling from the bow of his sinking ship.
  3. This Tuesday, December 6th will close the chapter on one of the most farcical political campaigns in America history and send Herschel mumble-mouth Walker back to his home in Texas.
  4. Yes he did. They are both are excellent actors. Enjoy watching them in films.
  5. The quality of art is always subjective regardless of whether one's opinion of it is good or bad or better or worse. As @Delano alluded above, comparisons are often an exercise in futility because they do not account for several factors to include time, talent, technology, experience and resources to name a few. Creative people make art. Consumers enjoy that art for what it is each according to their entertainment needs.
  6. @Troy, I resisted giving my take on religion being imperfect because I kinda figured you were waiting for @Pioneer1 to respond first. Hopefully, he will circle back to us whenever he's done protesting roundabouts.
  7. Religion cannot be perfect because it has been authored and interpreted by human beings who are supposedly The Supreme Being's most perfect creation made in His image flaws and all. Meanwhile, there will be a runoff election in Georgia on December 6th. Mumble-mouth Walker is encouraging folks to get out and vote. He says bring your friends and if you don't have any friends...make some and bring them to vote too.
  8. It's official. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is House Minority Leader. Let's see if he can build a coalition among his peers and bring fresh energy to the party.
  9. I heard Cowbums owner Jerrah Jones' stumbling through answering the question of why he was in that photo. But, reading between the lines of of what Jerrah said, I know he wanted to say, "look, that curious teenager back in 1957 grew up and became successful enough to enrich many Blacks between my sports franchise and other business venture. I did right by you people".
  10. @Pioneer1, I would agree on that factor because *everything* either directly or indirectly can be used to make more money especially in a capitalistic country.
  11. In the latest news, Mumble-Mouth Walker says he decided to run for Senator in Georgia while sitting at home in Texas.
  12. @Pioneer1, I like the way you skipped over the part about traffic circles (roundabouts) being around long before automobiles. So, who is to blame for accidents...roundabouts or automobiles or bad drivers. Speed is definitely a factor in many car accidents. I still contend that poor judgement in the form DWI, DUI, fatigue, distracted drivers (cell phones, cosmetics, food, passengers, etc.) is the leading cause of accidents. OTOH, race car drivers speed around in a circle at 200 mph. Fatalities are rare.
  13. @frankster nails it. I wholeheartedly agree that happiness is a state of mind and I'll add...being. Human beings who use things and other people to make them happy hardly ever achieve happiness. You have to be the source of your happiness first and foremost. Anybody else and/or anything else can only add to your happiness.
  14. I see the evolution of the logo. The new one looks fine including the head color. The head color is a shade of brown that sits somewhere between the lightest and darkest AfroAmerican. Great.
  15. No. The new logo looks good but I do not see the point in changing it.
  16. The *curse* of being a human is trying to figure out how the world works.
  17. Speed catches a bad rap as it relates to car accidents and fatalities. The real blame should be placed on poor judgement, impaired and distracted drivers and improperly maintained automobiles to name a few. Folks can drive as fast as they wish on the autobahn in Germany. There are fewer fatalities on the autobahn than US highways. But, here in the US, speed is a convenient excuse to criminalize drivers and increase revenues. Speeding tickets and traffic cameras have been big business for decades.
  18. Back in the 1790s, Pierre L’Enfant came up with traffic circles (roundabouts) as an aesthetic in his street design for Washington, DC. Of course, there was no vehicular traffic back in those days. I have no idea of how fast they rode horses around it. Otherwise, traffic circles (roundabouts) break up the typical grid layout of street design consisting of vertical, horizontal and a few diagonal lines. In other words traffic circles (roundabouts) were not planned to cause confusion on the streets. It was intended to make streets look better from a planning and layout perspective.
  19. This thread isn’t a waste of space. But, I do think fewer people are hip to NF Jr. Whoever is in power gets to make the rules whether it's a family, government, business or a game. Rules can be broken. Just a matter of becoming powerful enough to make it happen. A weak or silent opposition isn't the most effective change agent. It definitely won't garner power. That's why folks build strategic alliances when it comes to making rules and laws to control other people and resources and outcomes. The best way to overcome environmental error factors is to avoid a toxic environment. Create or find an environment that appreciates one's time, talent, knowledge, skills and abilities. People who work for themselves have an easier time navigating and/or avoiding environmental error factors. Otherwise, written policies still exist. Better employers and leadership use it and enforce it to keep employees in check. Employees should familiarize themselves with written policies so that they can minimize becoming victims.
  20. @Cynique, glad you're on the road to recovery from the flu. Still looking great for someone who's supposed to be under the weather too. I would have bet large that a super cold wouldn't keep you down. Thanks for checking in on your extended family aka the peanut gallery.
  21. @Pioneer1, you're right...Russia isn't stupid. For all the Russians know about how Ukraine is being aided and assisted, they aren't invading and/firing shots at the US or NATO. China is backing Russia but the Chinese aren't saying too much either. While real Ukrainians are dying in the process, this whole situation is prolitical. White folks don't mind killing each other over principles. They've only been doing it over many centuries.
  22. @Pioneer1, many religious folks only read their Bible when directed to a chapter and verse. That's why so many of them parrot the same scriptures too. Evangelical Christians are on a totally different plane. They're using religion to uphold and reinforce white supremacy. Many Black folks are using religion to cope with life believing if they're good people, they will be rewarded a better life in paradise i.e. when they're dead. Religion and politics are used to keep people divided, dazed and confused. But, a little common sense goes a very long way.
  23. @Pioneer1, I'm not thinking from an individual perspective. One person doesn't amass that kind of wealth without a system in place. As AfroAmericans, we could be pooling resources into a bank or some other investment that allows our money to grow exponentially. AfroAmericans could have a few billion or maybe even a trillion in their own bank. Then, our people could own businesses, major chunks of real estate, sports franchises, tech companies, farms and whatever else makes more money. We would be in a better position to provide job opportunities to our people too. AfroAmericans spend a lot of money consuming a bunch of dumb sh8t. Many of them give their money away to churches, get rich quick schemes, lottery tickets and other non-productive endeavors. Talk about making Investments and n8gglets don't want to listen. That's why many don't truly know how folks like Musk and Bezos made their billions. Black billionaires are dependent on White billionaires. Look no further than how quickly the rapper was demoted. He lost a billion overnight.
  24. Back in the 1980s, Irene Cara burst onto the entertainment scene. She was a cutie pie too: https://www.npr.org/2022/11/26/1139275959/fame-flashdance-irene-cara-dies She has passed away at the age of 63. Thanks for sharing your talent. RIP Ms. Cara.
