  1. I remember once an ex of my partner asked her for money while we were dating. I felt really uncomfortable because it was obvious I was working in an office. While he was underemployed. That same partner also put me up for a few days when I needed it. so I have been in situations where I had more money than my partner and the reverse. I also had a situation where I was visitng my partner. She went to work and I was unemployed. So I cooked dinner and maintained the house. That seems fair. However if one person is making the money and maintaining the home. Their partner is useless. I can't comment about the sex and cheerleading issue. I don't know how common or uncommon my experience is since I don't know the statistical breakdown of the nature of people's relationship. Perhaps women want a man that matches the environment they are in or the one they want to aspire to be a member . We may be using strength , normal and good in very different ways. And sometimes that prevents us from hearing each other. or not. Interesting convo from the sidelines.
  2. Troy can you give me an example of each. Since it uncharacteristic of me to verbally attack someone. I don't seem to have that problem with Mel or Cynique, why do you suppose that is? You were attempting to make a point using statistics. And you were making assumptions and using large numbers to make a point. And you were wrong. Perhaps I should care less when a fictional statement is made using statistics, or an illogical pronouncement is made. Truth and logic is important, I have been quiet on this topic because there is too much emotion. Which doesn't facilitate hearing opposing views. I can assure I won't be aggressively or passively debating. I am going to be more mathematical and approach tangentally. Btw congratulations on increasing the size of allowable attachements. Hey Pioneer what city do you live. I may have read someone in your town. Passing Olive Branches all the way around. Because Mistletoe is deadly.
  3. That s because no amount of exposition is going to reach some people. I used to be very cryptic. Then I tried to explain fully. I worked with a lack woman accountant and our White Male Supervisior, would ignore her and take her ideas as his own. I verified to her that she was not in fact losing her mind. Actually I don't assume that Pioneer knows where I am coming from or we have such a different mental approach. That it is near impossible to explain things. With Troy I get, unless he starts using statistics then it goes to the dogs. I don't think I have been mansplaing, since I find it asier to communicate ideas to you and Mel. Since the conversations are less combative or ego driven. I am more Neptunian.
  4. “You saw the militia walking down the street, you would have thought they were an army … (They) had better equipment than our state police had,” McAuliffe was quoted as saying.
  5. that is implication, it is class war that needs to be fought. The Chaldeans are from Iraq and can point to their history. What country are Afro-Americans from, no idea.
  6. Trump did make a tweet. after Melania did.
  7. Calculus means a small peeble. Leibniz and Newton independently discovered calculus. So I believe that ideas exist and present themselves to the appropriate individuals.
  8. Hmm I hadn't noticed that, I had to o back and see that it wasn't me. Well this one is all you. Pioneer either I have overestimated a college degree over being self taught.I am very impressed Pioneer.
  9. Troy it's not a form of intelligence, it's a mathematical reference . You know that stuff that engineers study. Hee hee hee. Okay just look up the etymology of pebble. Then I will explain the rest.
  10. Exactly Pioneer. Congratulations. Now what does the peeble mean?
  11. Some would rather destroy the world than share it
  12. The key words are pebble apple and weight. Cmon Troy it is almost too easy. @Troy Here's another clue, this book is listed as one of the most influential science and mathematics book ever written. That with the other clues should narrow it down
  13. The color scheme and use of light is interesting
  14. I only posted a period.
  15. Naw Cynique this is a Solar Eclipse. The King (Sun) is eclipsed by The People (Moon)
  16. The date was off but the percentage is within the range stated. I seem to be off three or six months with my political predictions
  17. http://www.gallup.com/poll/203198/presidential-approval-ratings-donald-trump.aspx
  18. I am looking forward to it.
  19. How can there be unity, without respect.Your statements show that you want to replace one type of domination with another.
  20. Troy's example is closer to my point. The language you learn affects how you think. The Eskimo example is a good one. Its not actually true though. They have different ways of doing describing snow. Because they ability to discern different types of snow is a matter of survival. Some languages are not dependent on word order. And this effects how you think. I heard but can't verify, but certain words that AA use are Bantu. Ok is Wolof
  21. Even if your not in the path you will see the change in the sky. I felt the one in 2012.
  22. If you are going to create black science you will also need to o create a language. Since language limits thinkng.
