  1. I disagree. Some comments make me want to take a break because of their toxic egocentricity.
  2. And envy. We attack what we don't understand and fear. Which is another component to domination.
  3. Is that grimacing or anger.
  4. Bonobo chimps
  5. Thank you for posting. I believe tat it's fine to attack and idea but not the person. I have been guilty of that more than once. I publicly apologised and felt quite contrite. It's great to be passionate however when it becomes aggressive, that's problematic. I don't think unity is possible amongst Black people. And I have used the dynamics that play out here as an example. I have been angered and saddened by the vindictiveness of of statements made to make a point. The Dove is an appropriate moniker. I have said you are so nice that I can't argue with you. I have also tried to change my debating style. Some perceptions of me are so ridiculous that I don't respond. And recently there seems to be an agitation or irritation that members display. Usually it towards one person. I want to do less of that venomous personal attack. It creates a negative vibe. At times I have found it so frustrating that I have gone on hiatus, or have not responded to statements.
  6. The action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation. ‘he is suing the TV company for slander’ Compare with libel More example sentencesSynonyms 1.1count noun A false and malicious spoken statement. Intent is important in slander. My mistake i was refering to the post. So I'll split it with you.
  7. Or you couldn't be bothered to find out. In the interest of fairness. Who conducted the study on spatial awareness , I know you have a credible source.
  8. Here's a gramma lesson Son. Four Types of Sentences and the Effect of Punctuation When students learn to write, they begin by learning about the four types of sentences and the role punctuation plays in determining and creating those different sentence types. What Are the Four Types of Sentences? Declarative sentence Imperative sentence Interrogative sentence Exclamatory sentence
  9. I think that's all the proof I need.
  10. Troy and Pioneer I will post a question that you will find easier to answer. Although you will probably still be peevish. Are either of you donating blood?
  11. Once again there are four types of sentences. You say it is not nuanced , even though it is simple it is multi layered. Both Cynique and Chevdover answered the question. Which means one of three things. One they are lacking in complexity for answering such a simple or meaningless question. Two it is multivalent question since Chendive and Cynique not only answered but gave different answers. Which actually proves the validity of my statement. Three I reserve this option for Troyineer. Sailor Is that an acute or obtuse statement. Or are you dropping science? I can see by your statements how you reckon the world. Geometry. Good call @Pioneer1, better luck next time T. Troy doesn't think ...
  12. @Troy my question unlike yours has two components. One of those components is Martin Luther King's impact. The other question about his sex life can be both debated and is non judgemental. Furthermore unlike Troy's example of me raping babies is not illegal. You may have not noticed but in the question I didn't mention any extramarital activities. Troy either you are wearing binoculars, which make you so close to issues that you become emotional. Or a telescope, in which you appeal to reason? and say you, I, we werent present so how can we know what happened. This statement allows me to clear up my "defending " Pioneer. When you make a valid (which is different than true) I will agree even if my perspective is different. Two things you may want to consider. An opinion need not be factual, even if the subject has some known facts. Second a question unless legal or rhetorical is an inquiry.
  13. Thanks Cynique The Dynamic Duo have yet to show where i made any judgements about homosexuality. I have loss count how many times I have asked. @TroyTroy and @Pioneer1 Pioneer1
  14. Cynique do you think the average woman is smarter than the average man.
  15. Gentleman is it so hard to understand i am asking a question not making a statement. Please can either of you quote me, where i slandered either Martin or Malcolm. @Troy @Pioneer1
  16. Men are Women they say Interesting Really Troy Pioneer and Nubian Do you think you're smarter than the average women.
  17. Rape is non consensual or coerced sex. So he did rape them. If it was consensual why were the victims ostracised?
  18. Its better to be silent and let people think you a fool. Than to talk and remove all doubt.
  19. Nothing other than listening and not throwing women under the bus or using them as footstools in order to hide my defects. The problem with pride in is it only blinds the individual to their own deficiencies. And being arrogant and on a pedestal of ignorance. Is the best example of pride before the fall.
  20. Del Let me know if any of that is incomprehensible to either @Troy @Pioneer1or@NubianFellow I am awaiting your responses. My response: Elijah Muhammad was one of the greatest Black men to have been born in the United States. I don't give a shit IF he banged 10,000 young secretaries and was smiling to himself while he was doing it! No you didn't say that he raped, teenage girls. You said he had sex with them. But it was rape since they couldn't freely say no. It's similar to sexual harassment in terms work place. Except that it is infinitely worse. Due to the girls inability to leave the situation. To me your statement is unbelievably callous.
  21. @NubianFellow @Troy can you comment on this statement.
  22. A question is the opposite of a declarative statement. Here's a gramma lesson Son. Four Types of Sentences and the Effect of Punctuation When students learn to write, they begin by learning about the four types of sentences and the role punctuation plays in determining and creating those different sentence types. What Are the Four Types of Sentences? Declarative sentence Imperative sentence Interrogative sentence Exclamatory sentence And there are only three punctuation marks with which to end a sentence: Period Question mark Exclamation point Using different types of sentences and punctuation, students can vary the tone of their writing assignments and express a variety of thoughts and emotions. What is a declarative sentence? A declarative sentencesimply makes a statement or expresses an opinion. In other words, it makes a declaration. This kind of sentence ends with a period. Examples of this sentence type: “I want to be a good writer.” (makes a statement) “My friend is a really good writer.” (expresses an opinion) What is an imperative sentence? An imperative sentencegives a command or makes a request. It usually ends with a period but can, under certain circumstances, end with an exclamation point. Examples of this sentence type: “Please sit down.” “I need you to sit down now!” What is an interrogative sentence? An interrogative sentenceasks a question. This type of sentence often begins with who, what, where, when, why, how, or do, and it ends with a question mark. Examples of this sentence type: “When are you going to turn in your writing assignment?” “Do you know what the weather will be tomorrow?” What is an exclamatory sentence? An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that expresses great emotion such as excitement, surprise, happiness and anger, and ends with an exclamation point. Examples of this sentence type: “It is too dangerous to climb that mountain!” “I got an A on my book report!” Learning about the different types of sentences and punctuation will help students become better writers by enabling them to convey various types of information and emotion in their writing. A question is an inquiry and as such has no pretense. The exception is a court of law.
  23. @Pioneer1 ease up o the the demands about what I should do. I stated my source can it be verified? I will say what I always say. There are no facts just perspectives. Go beyond what you know. The audio was on the radio. It could have been a fake. However my mother's aunt said that Martin stayed with Single women when he travelled. It's hearsay but I believe her and it I don't see any of their extramarital activities in a negative light. However I feel the reverse about Elijah Muhammed affairs because they caused problems. That affected Malcolm his son and the entire nation. And most importantly he took something. He was a rapist because those teenage girls didn't choose freely. Unless Elijah Muhammed had a day job, invested that money and kept records, the kids should get 0. The money most likely came from his supporters and should benefit the nation. Not his heirs.
