  1. George Ben and company told the other George we are engaging in a hostile takeover. Instead of being caretakers we want to own it all. The Indians were framed at the Boston Tea party. So you wipe out your guest. And break every treaty ever signed. It was the independence of White Male land owners. That is what is celebrated. BLM didn't get the memo. When you are obsolete you have to be removed. Just ask the natives. That said I loved growing up in the Bronx and hanging in Manhattan from 1986 - 2006. Yet I know my experience wasn't the norm.
  2. Sorry i forgot you don't have your own thoughts in this. I stop encouraging you to think. When quoting experts is enough. It's not science though.
  3. Isolated incident. Troy it's snow in the largest hot desert on the world. Say that last sentence out loud and listen to yourself. Well time will tell. If CO2 is causing warmer weather, what man made effect is causing the cold weather. Can you find any explanation. Just one by a PhD. I dont even care of they are a climatologist.
  4. A doctoral dissertion that's 13 years old. Fair enough just check and see if the temperature rising 1.5 degrees. Australia just had some of its coldest weather since the 1950's. This debate will be like when you thought Cosby was innocent. I am not smarter than climatologist but I am more savvy about numbers than most.
  5. Dr Duane Thresher I'll check his credentials
  6. That power is called rhetoric. And it was highly prized by the greeks. However i believe a lot of that came from Egypt and the middle east.

  8. Troy i am not certain what you are trying to say. Some words appear to be missing. Using your definition it may be logical, however I believe it is faulty. But hey its your super power. Logic isn't really that important on this setting.
  9. I posted my definition, which is the Latin Translation.
  10. @Pioneer1 the failure is in or with life. So the sadness is the failure of either rhe father to see the son's plight. Ir the son being overwhelmed by life. Neither is a success. Suicide ir the attempt is the end result of resignation. @Troy you can neither be omniscient nor omnipotent if yiu are capable of killing yourself through boredom. You can see that is true for either state. You may not follow my logic ir argument though.

  12. I didn't realise the breadth of her work. And the collaborated with a lot of musicians. Check out Allen Carrington Spaulding.
  13. @Mel Hopkins Ddddamn! That hasn't been my experience. @Cynique In Australia women who lay there like they are posing are called starfish. Men here complain about it. When i was single i hadto be attracted to the woman. There have beem situations where i said enough and put the brakes on the proceedings. I had two women cheat on me although I was ticking all of those boxes.
  14. There are some racist that get incensed when the object of their derision is doing better than they are currently. Do you remember when white factory workers bought Japanese cars to set them on fire. It was around the time that Japan started making good cars and supplanted Detroit.
  15. Troy thats two out of the three. I'd suggest a third which is more a quality than a power. Immortality.
  16. What Dad isn't sadden by the failure of his kid.

  18. Lets say you were God and you were omniscient and omnipotent. And 99% of your children were dumb, and 100 % had free will. That could be pretty frustrating.
  19. I hear Racist are emboldened. And Iam not in the continental United States.
  20. All Powerful is not the same as All Knowing. Also being omniscient may have unique drawbacks.
  21. I posted it. It is an interesting topic. I think its fascinating and is harbinger of a global change in the power structure. What's that movie where Bill Nunn wanted to be a black hockey player.
  22. Omnipotence without omniscience sounds problematic.
  23. Not certain if I already posted this. If you could have three super powers what would they be?
  24. Do wealthy Black People care about this
