  1. Yeah my astrological nemesis told me he struggles to understand what i mean. We ain't besties but I make more corrections to my posts.
  2. Troy as a kid we would snap on each other. All the neighborhood kids would insult you and your parents. And you couldn't lose your cool. You had to have a funny comeback. O don't know for certain but i think this is common among black boys growing up. I look at is as training for life. There was one kid who usef to sit on his stoop and read law books. Incidentally he was a legendary fighter. He was so good he would just be a bit better than you. I remember we were sparing once and this neighbourhood kid said if you beat him you're the man. There was another kid who was in gymnastics. He would do leg cuts on the ground. And he couldn't beat him either. He was fast strong and flexible. One time a cat was holding his foot he jumped and kicked him with the other leg. Pne time i was sparring with this kid he had tem pounds in me was a little shorter but i was faster. I would dance around and tag him with punches. Je was a flat footed straight ahead fighter. When he came at me i dropped my hands didnt block his blows but he could barely touch me. He lost his cool charged me a side stepped him and punched him in the ribs. So for a little guy i was nice withy hands and had good footwork. So om addition to snapping we sparred.
  3. @Pioneer1That's violence not sexuality. It's also illegal. What poll did you see, that said most men want to be sexual predators. When I was a teenager it was about be able to talk to girls. Not date rape them. You sound a bit like Bill Cosby. So if some guys are grabbing your mother's crotch. Are you congratulating her and the guy. Or does that not apply to women in your circle. So if some guy has more money than you can he grab your women's crotch. Since Trump also went after women who had partners.
  4. No Pioneer you are in a class by yourself. We agree on this. Cynique My writing is actually better. People used to ask me if English was my second language. Reasons: I type on a phone and unlike you and Mel writing was relatively unimportant in my jobs. 0ļ
  5. Troy you're an alpha male that doesn't think gender affects your thinking. That's like white people who dont see racism. The irony is lost on you. Tee hee hee and a chortle.
  6. Yes but i love fried chicken but not pig feet. I didn't realise how much of an American I was until I left the country. You are an alpha male (perhaps) you can't see how much gender influences you.
  7. @Troy no problem How would you know that it's not due to gender.
  8. United Artist Film studio was started by actors because they didn't dig the Hollywood treatment. There is a big difference between critical acclaim and commercial success. Maybe she can take a page from Sylvester Stallone's book and do the Blaxpendables.
  9. Troy I am confused as to why your stating what I have already explained
  10. The structure of the sentence point a , then point b, then point c. And point A is related to point C. Troy lately you and Pioneer seem to be on the same side of a few issues. Even though you reasons differ.
  11. Ah misread the empashis. Don't know if it's apocryphal. When asked about whether he hit Denise Williams, Bill Withers said she wanted to Use Me so I decided to Lean on Her.
  12. Bill Withers is influenced more by his generation than Rap. He may be more influenced by the 50's since he would have been in his 20's on the 50's. The song he wished he had written was Strange Fruit. Which harkens ti a time before civil rights
  13. Robert Downey os the highest paid actor becaus he took a percentage of the first Iron Man Movie. Such is capitalism.
  14. Wind is what makes weather so unpredictable. And while tradewinds tend ti flow from Africa to the carribean. Wind is effected by the hurricane as well. Also note that when Irma was at y e same lattitude as Mobile. The wind speed did drop to within 15k. Not to worry. You're not a paying querent. I have a rule if the first 10 minutes are wrong I don't charge. However i need to stop wasting energy trying to prove myself. I was trying a new technique. Interestingly a very stubborn Astrologer who says weather prediction isn't possible liked the post. Since he realises the difficulty in predicting direction and wind speed. Like most of our conversation I don't expect you to see more than what is currently in your world.
  15. Hey Hey Pioneer September 11th 1225 in Sydney is September 10th 9pm. Can meteorologist pick the direction of the storm. Go check before you answer.
  16. Most people roll with or maybe they don't care. I have also edited post in order to make them clearer. You and Mel are both Authors. She writes woth clarity and she can also change the voice and tone. Oddly enough I can't recall a major misunderstanding or frustration with either of you.
  17. Yes i am developing techniques to show quantities. When i did the forecast it was in Boca Raton. It looks like it went through Tallahassee not Mobile. I'll have to check current wind speed.
  18. That's fine. What i was trying to say. I don't approach the occult or science like a follower. Since both are akin to religion. Both have their priest which are the gatekeepers of knowledge. As an aside i often write in the passive voice. You have only offered constructive criticisms. I haven't been the recipient of any bitchiness. hee hee hee.
  19. Science is a belief system until the belief is disproved. Some conjectures in mathematics are unproven yet mathematicians have an opinion which aligns with these beliefs. I think I am more open to opinions that don't match my own. This is what I wrote. . I am not interested in exchanging occult or for the science as my religion. I don't approach science or the occult as sacrosanct.
  20. I was at the shop and had a really strong feeling. That I should make a prediction about the storm. There's an astrologer on Facebook whi us very opinionated and says it can't be done. So i thought let me try. And predict both the direction and wind speed. Since both are hard to forecast. My sister is in Tampa. What county are you residing? Do you have a comment about the prediction.
  21. This is my first weather prediction. Hurricane Irma will head towards Mobile Alabama and the wind will drop by about 60%. or from 148 kph/91mph to about 90kph/55mph. @Pioneer1 please post your prediction. Concerning Hurricane Irma.
  22. Yes but she has to not expect the system is going to do the right thing. did you know that traffic lights were instituted after the invention of the car. So in new areas you need to be forearmed.
  23. Yes my martian Brother, even though I am open I test theories. I am not interested in exchanging occult or for the science as my religion.
  24. I took it that youare wondering if rhe things you are doing have value.
