  1. Won't matter the victims were race traitors
  2. It would seem that different classes have different status symbols, and measures of success. Some people actually prefer to down the ladder rather than up. Or at least that was my experience in NYC until the noughties.
  3. You might take a finger but you don't kill the debtor.
  4. nunca nyet nein non
  5. Yes I mentioned that possibility in my second sentence. And point out that even within a city there can be neighborhood differences.
  6. Classifying states by food and music might be more useful. In which case Texas has more in common with New Mexico than Louisiana. However within a state there are vast differences. Harlem of old is very different than the Upper East Side. Which in turn is different than the West Side of old.
  7. I was asking about your children's mother, not your mother.
  8. @Troy was your children's mother more middle class or possessing middle class values
  9. "Some people age like fine wine others are like milk." Charlemagne the God
  10. No comment isn't agreement on my part.
  11. Multitasking is not for me.
  12. if you do one and two, three becomes a bit difficult.
  13. I think I watched a few minutes. I commend 50 Cents he wants to be an actor and he is getting better. He produces a few shows and then has a small part in it. I don't know, but I am thinking probably not. There's gay sex and there's a few sexual scenes I don't have a name for what happens. Did I mention there's some scenes with copious amounts of bloodshed.
  14. Yes i believe it is on Hulu. On the surface it is a story about the war between Gods of the Old World and the New. It has magic, sex and the main character is a person of colour. It is not trashy. I happen to also like the Book. I tend to be attracted to difference. @Troy you strike me as Professional but you have working class sensibility. I remember the 80's was the rise of the Yuppies and the Buppies. So while you have the education and a business you don't have the mindset. I have had the opportunity to meet the entire spectrum. There isn't really that much difference, just what an individual consumes. The category that may become more interesting in the future are the people with a spiritual focus and ownership.
  15. Yes that's true. A few women have told me they could feel their ovum.
  16. @Cynique check out American Gods
  17. The first one took me a few months to create the first 930, the second set has 2099. They are like esoteric dictionaries. I had another idea of using it with colors. Since there are 16,777,216 the are called hex codes since it is Hexadecimal base.
  18. Geri Allen is the reason I started writing poetry. for a few years
  19. Spirituality is the counterbalance to our body, personality and all that is tangible. The body is a ship and spirituality is our anchor in the higher realms. You could exhange spirituality with world view or existential contemplation of essence. Religion is a lower order manifestation of spirtuality. Analogous to the word apple and the object. So your spiritual approach defines and informs your actions personality, thought process, and emotions. All of the later terms are constructs or a way to embody the intangible essence. These constructs are what make life feel real. Its easier to argue religion or spirituality. Than the reality of your body. Yet you would have a hard time really believing someone arguing reality. The irony being that it is your mind that rails against this position. Which is ironic because your mind is closer to spirit than your body. Thats a first take will post more later. There's the potential problem of associating the self with our body or our actions. What informs this the mind? The mind is a function of your life experience and also your spirit. Various people may perceive one or the other in the ascendancy An admixture of both perhaps or of neither. You are relatively unaware of the functioning of the body or your destiny. Spiritual practices can shift your perspective so that you can see both differntly. This ability may be real or as indistinguishable as being in a dream. Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Live live life your life. Knowing that it is the spirit dreaming.
  20. I have included the post for easy reference @Troy Posted September 20, 2019 January 15 - 29, 2019 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/5128-astrological-prediction-the-end-of-trumps-presidency/?do=findComment&comment=27502 Trump had been impeached for the second time by the House of Representatives on January 13, 2021.
