  1. They will be welcoming with open arms as long as you bring that bag of US money.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. This is why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accepted the Secretary of Health and Human Services job. He has moved from conspiracy theorist to having an opportunity to influence policy and decisions on everything from mandatory vaccines to the chemicals being used in products. Doesn't seem to be an issue or problem to the most powerful people on the planet. They have moved on from the 9/11 collapse. Many skyscrapers have been built over the past 24 years too. Folks still live, work and play in those buildings.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Younger men get a pass for the 1st marriage being based on those physical traits. The head scratcher is when older dudes are still falling for and marrying women for physical appeal versus status, financial, companionship, etc. Right. I'm referring to successful 2nd marriages. Not the can't get right marriages where people marry for the same stupid reasons as mentioned above.๐Ÿ˜ The sooner we teach folks that marriage should be a functional arrangement i.e. business-like, with clearly defined expectations and goals, they might be more *successful* on several levels.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. I find it interesting that Latinos do not defend themselves against that mischaracterization. Neither Latino men nor women come out with a full chest to say...that's not who we are as a people. They remain radio silent as their brothers are demonized and rounded up by the current administration.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. The heart is a muscle with the sole purpose of pumping blood throughout our bodies. The brain made up of 60% fat is the super-computer running the whole show. When the heart shuts down, the brain is still processing for a few minutes. OK. I'll sit back and continue to enjoy the tennis match. Carry on fellas.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. I enjoy tennis match between my brothas @Pioneer1 and @frankster as they go back and forth in a thread. As I've mentioned before, as long as humans can procreate and reproduce among themselves regardless of race (color), they are genetically the same. The color differences defined as race are for social, political and economic reasons. I'm perfectly fine with delineation. My biggest concern is how do Black folks move up from the bottom of the totem pole. White folks aren't going to just give Black folks a fair seat at the table of power.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Well, considering the fact that they are still chasing UFOs/UAPs, maybe there's a chance of circling back to building collapses too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. No surprise there especially as most people including engineers and scientists are not concerned with reinvestigating the steel distribution within the Twin Towers. A whole new building sits on that spot.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Huge debt of gratitude to our brave soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting freedom. Thanks to those who have served in the past and to those who currently serve as well.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Considering the orange tan POTUS OJ prefers, I'd imagine he identifies as an alpha orangutan. ๐Ÿคฃ That's partially the reason folks consider their 2nd marriage the *best* especially if both parties have been there, done that. The 2nd marriage isn't built around kids and picket fences. They have different goals and expectations. Right. Cultures that practice arranged marriages subscribe to the belief that a couple can fall in love if that's what they want to do after being married. They laugh at the belief that people marry for love.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. POTUS OJ has had 3 wives with 5 childen spread across them (3 sons and 2 daughters). Mail order bride, er, FLOTUS is from Slovenia.๐Ÿคฃ Not really. A narcissistic, megalomaniac surrounds themsleves with people who feed it. Right. The world runs over weak people. The powerful use weaker people to get things done.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Those types of rich people don't really *need* each other for survival or status. Many marriages are functional arrangements for status, appearances, legal representation, etc. The Clintons are a good example of a functional arrangement. Right. We've evolved a bit such that *strength* comes in different flavors beyond physical. Sure. The descriptor doesn't matter much to most people.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Surely. That can't be the 1st time you've read such a critique of your writing style.๐Ÿคฃ Seems that around here, we're less critical of subject matter, opinions, ideas, etc.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Select illegal immigrants are being deported to make a statement. Especially from a Homeland Security perspective. The current administration is delivering on their promise to its base. They still have 3.5 years to get more folks up outta here. Otherwise, I believe threat of mass deportations will be similar to building that wall. These politicians talk big to keep constituents gassed up and come up small putting pins in their balloons.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Right. It is a whole subject unto itself which starts with how alpha-males and high value women are defined. The universe usually brings alpha-males and high value women together.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. How does recognizing there is no shortage of women objectify them? Where was it suggested that alpha males look or settle for *easy* women? The point is alpha males have options when it comes to high value women. They don't have to fight over them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Samuel L. Jackson might be harder to get nowadays. David Alan Grier could definitely it off. Hilarious. Write the script.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. When ypu mentioned upbringing and early development, my point was women cannot teach males how to be men. A mother definitely shouldn't teach her son to fight *over* a woman. Especially when there's no shortage of them. Interesting story. Doesn't read like there was no reason to fight *over* her. As I mentioned, alpha males don't have to fight *over* women. They have several choices in high value women. You're certainly entitled to your belief. Makes the dialog more interesting.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Usher's mom was thinking her son would be a star. They paid a price but he made it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. Premise of the video would be great if it comes to fruition. Awesome if Africans are mobilized to believe and support building their home countries and form strategic alliances with neighboring countries on the African continent as a whole.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Yep. An updated version of Django Unchained.๐Ÿ˜ i can see a snaggle-toothed dude come running out of the burning house with a face full of soot and an armful of clothes and sh8t hollering...."massa we's gotta leave our house all burned up."๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. NYC has a diverse population. Mayor Adams will need every eligible Black voter and some other folks to get him re-elected. I believe it was POTUS OJ's influence more than anything Mayor Adams could have done to get himself out of that jam. Diddy has to go through the process and hope for 1) mistrial, 2) acquittal or 3) pardon from POTUS OJ. There's nothing Diddy can do to get himself out this case.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Right. Let's see if the NYC constituents are still onboard after the Democrats tried to tar and feather him. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. The downside to the internet is how easily misinformation and disinformation can be spread like a virus. Best to rely on news sources that can be verified and confirmed.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. The Supreme Being is omnipotent and omniscient; creator of all things. There's no such thing as *problems* for such a Being. An idea is merely a thought, plan or suggestion. Nothing states that an idea has to become tangible or viable. Regardless of best ideas, actions and practices, anything man makes can be broken before it gets out of hand. The Supreme Being/Universe will never allow man to break it. Humans will destroy themselves. It won't be AI either.๐Ÿ˜Ž
