Since you're willing to help, then help YOURSELF by accepting the first definition of tangible being that which is REAL and not imaginary. ...then apply THAT definition to a penis OR a rainbow (your choice...lol) since both of those objects are real and not made up.

Troy Glad to see that you're upward and mobile and doing well, lol. It seems as if the storm when NORTH of the area you lived in and it the pan-handle area of Florida and traveled through eastern Georgia on up the coast. North Carolina is still reeling from it's effects. Hundreds are still missing. This storm may actually turn out to be more deadly than Katrina Mel Yeah, I heard about that fire down there and saw clips of smoke billowing and authorities issuing all kinds of "stay in place" alerts....lol. Looked like something out of a Zombie Apocalypes movie...lol.

Ok..... So has AI come up with a cure for all types of cancer? Is it growing new legs and arms for people who've lost them in accidents? Does AI allow people to contact dead loved ones and communicate with them? Does it reverse aging and the affects of aging in humans? Like most forms of social media today, what "good" is it actually doing humanity....besides making it easier and quicker to spread FALSE or IRRELEVANT information around? This isn't aimed at YOU Troy, but I say this in general. Our people need to stop thinking or trying to think like White folks in terms of getting geeked up and hyped up over shit that isn't helping US solve OUR problems. If properly used it can help us make more money...either as a tool or through selling it's technology. I get that part. However what we need is not simply more artificial intelligence but ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE that will help heal our communities around the planet.

Yes. Thank you for helping me to make MY point...lol. Since you understand this, why is it so hard for you to understand that "able to be shown" qualifies a thing to be considered TANGIBLE? You don't have to actually touch it...if you're able to SEE it...then it's also considered tangible. Actually.....the definition before it qualifies ANYTHING that is real and not imaginary as tangible.

frankster The reason its not adding up is because your definition of Enslavement is tied to European Enslavement of Africans. There is only one universal definition of enslavement and it cuts across cultures from Africa to Europe...and that's FORCING people to work. If you "own" people and are forcing them to work, you have enslaved them; plain and simple. If they have a choice and can opt out....they aren't slaves, but mere servants. But the Bible makes a CLEAR difference between slaves and servants and as I said not only condones but SUPPORTS the enslavement of certain peoples. As far as the other points you're TRYING to make; it seems as if you're trying to take me around in circles. I've already showed you with crystal clarity the verses in the Bible that legitimized slavery, supported it, and made it clear that in some cases...the people and their progeny were intended to be enslaved forever. All the other verses you provide talking about 50 years THIS and 7 years THAT are irrelevant -UNLESS you want to admit that there is a contradiction in your book.

I have to wonder.....why DID he (Didd-y...lol) throw those wild ass parties? I'm not a celebrity nor a multi-millionaire, so I'm not sure what goes on in the minds of people like that or what their obligations are; however is seems to me that if you have...say over $10 Million......your crazy days should be over. Time to be serious, stay as FAR away from trouble and legal problems as you possibly can and just play it safe. Why engage in drugs, environments where people can be sexually assaulted and sue you, and other behaviors that could jeopardize you losing your wealth and freedom? Why???

Man you better cut that "snatch" shit out.....I get horny just reading it now, lol. Make me think of all those years even back in highschool when I could have just.....ahhh....never mind, lol. Seriously, why haven't we heard from our brother since the Hurricane though???? ...and our sista @Mel Hopkins too! She lives down in the ATL, right there in the path of it. If North Carolina is getting socked up like that....imagine what's happening in Georgia.

I was watching a video of Puffy promoting a movement to push a Black Agenda and for Black Americans to become more politically educated. That could also be the reason they're coming after him. Another issue is what Puffy represents. He represents flashy arrogant Black success. This rubs a lot of people the wrong way....especially in a society where you're taught that the "Christian" thing to do is be humble and modest. Like 50 Cent said... When they say you're too flashy.....it means they like you better when you're fucked up and ashy.

My Father used to tell me that while a house A-ppreciates....a car DE-preciates as soon as you drive it off the lot. If you drive it away and try to return it the next day, you won't get what you paid for it.

Richardmurray I didn't vote because I didn't understand the nature of the question....lol.

The strong desire to actually own a vehicle and feeling like a "loser" if you don't have one of your own is one of the major reasons so many Americans are having a hard time economically. Owning a car, even with the massive notes and constant repairs....is part of the U.S. culture now. Infact, it seems in MOST poor and developing nations....they have found a way to trick the people into buying old raggedy ass cars and spending most of their income on gas and maintaining these vehicles...instead of the government investing in decent mass public transportation like in "most" industrialized nations such as Japan or Belgium. Watch any video of a third world country and you will see dirt roads PACKED with old raggedy vehicles and make-shift vehicles of all types. If you do see busses....they are old, dirty, and crowded with people hanging off of them dangerous as hell. I've been to Europe and I've lived in Canada where the public transportation in most urban areas are so well kept and safe, most people DON'T own cars and are proud of it. They have a shit load of trains, busses, trams, subways, etc.....that will take you pretty much everywhere you need to go. People go to work, to school, out on dates, etc.....on trains and busses and don't think twice about it. Imagine a 30 year old man taking a woman he just met out on a date.....on a BUS, in the United States. ....he better call an Uber or SOMETHING, lol. I will never forget an episode of Sanford and Son where Rollo (RIP Nathaniel Taylor) and Lamont were with two women on a date, and when they were getting ready to leave Rollo told them to HOLD UP, he'll take them home....ON THE BUS...lol. But in Canada and Europe, they hang out with eachother all the time on public transportation and think nothing of it. And it saves them a lot of money.

Not just a repo-crisis but also a HOMELESS crisis. I've seen so many homeless people crowded on the streets after the Pandemic than ever. These aren't migrants either, these are Americans....of all ages...who are just homeless. Some of them have lost their houses, others kicked out of their apartments, others just released from jail with nowhere to go.....but THOUSANDS of them downtown.

A damn shame..... The ONLY reason they're going after that brutha is because he doesn't want to go along with their plans to displace Black people with all of those illegal immigrants they're bringing in...not just New York...but all over the nation. Unlike the Black mayor of Chicago, Adams was vocal about his anger and disappointment at how the federal government basically is expecting most of New York to foot the bill for all of these illegals that Texas and Florida sent up there, and the so-called Democrat Administration ain't doing a damn thing about it. That man ain't stupid....he sees what time it is and he called out Biden on it. So they go after him to punish him. My question is, what are the Black....especially AfroAmerican....New Yorkers planning to do about it? Now that both Minister Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson are getting older and Al Sharpton is....doing whatever....they don't see a lot of strong Black leadership speaking out and motivating the masses like they were back in the 90s. Now they're making their move. Get this one. Get that one. Indict this one. Prosecute that one. ....you got Black Judges, lawyers, Prosecutors, even Congress people and 2 Black folks on the SCOTUS. What are they doing to stop so many high profile Black folks from being targeted and locked up? While they (...and by "they" I mean the White racist power structure) are busy trying to lock up high profile Black Americans on one end, they are bringing in MILLIONS of illegal immigrants to TRY and push Black Americans out of their neighborhoods and jobs on the other end.

Notice how they rarely talk about or put REAL Black Conservatives on the scene like Thomas Sowell or Tony Brown. Not only are these men intelligent, but they are TRUE conservatives who are more loyal to their traditional values than they are to the White power structure much less the Republican party. No.... The media likes to push the "jokers" out who skin and grin and makes fools of themselves for the amusement of racist White folks. They are part of the humiliation process. So 50 years later, they can point back at clowns like Scott and Walker and use them as an example of how some Black folks WANTED to be enslaved and go back to Segregation. They'll use Mr.Robinson's and Kanye West's remarks about slavery, to justify the ATTEMPTED re-instatement of Chattel Slavery claiming that a lot of "Black leaders" actually called for it. ....btw, saw an article this morning about Mark Robinson getting hurt at some sort of campaign event. They said he had to go to the hospital with burns.

If they can be shown...they are tangible; according to the definition I just provided for you. You can continue to ignore it all you want....but the facts are the facts,lol.

frankster Something isn't adding up...... You're saying the people the Israelites enslaved got released every 50 years, but I showed you where they intended for their slaves to remain in their custody forever. 50 years does not = forever. So it seems like there is a contradiction in those scriptures OR....they are talking about the conditions of enslavement for TWO DIFFERENT kinds of people. Maybe the Jubilee and other conditions apply to the ISRAELITES who were enslaved by eachother, but didn't apply to the other races whom they enslaved.

Florida is one of the last states in this nation I'd want to live in. Hot and sticky most of the time. Huge pre-historic bugs and shit swarming around. Lakes and ponds all over the place. You can't dig a hole in the ground without water coming up out of the ground. Alligators and lizards crawling all over in the roads and in people's yards. Not to mention racists White Cubans and other groups who've carved out little regions of power and make it clear that they don't want anything to do with Black Americans. On top of all of that, it's just a narrow strip of land pretty much in the middle of an ocean that constantly gets hurricanes. EVERY year! ....I'm good. I'd rather stay in California than Florida....and most of yall KNOW how I feel about bruthaz living in Cali, lol.

I still remember this video by Kam (one of Ice Cube's protegee's) from the early 90s. When I think of pull-outs, I think of this video at the 3 minute mark where he comes into the room and starts passing out pull-out stereos like passing out food....lol.

Lol....yeah, I remember that too. Infact, I had atleast one and I think I probably had 2 pull-outs. Like you said, it was "fashionable" for men to walk around with them. They didn't last long though....I think it was the late 80s to the early 90s and then....no more. What seemed to last long....longer than most urban trends....was riding around with your car bumping with a lot of base in it. I remember cats doing it since the mid-80s and it hasn't stopped yet. Young bruthaz are still rolling around the hood rattling windows. You even got some Latinos and some White dudes riding around bumping that base.. One of the good things about getting older is the amount of things you've seen and experienced and HOPEFULLY can remember when you get old enough...lol.

They CLAIM that Puffy is on suicide watch....but then other reports come out saying that he is refusing to eat food because of fear it may be poisoned. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I hope our brother @Troy is safe and sound if he's down there in Florida. I believe Miss Helene brushed passed the Tampa area and caused a lot of flooding and power outages on her way to Northern Florida. Knowing you, you usually pack up and FLY OFF to another location when a hurricane is coming.

Permanent isn't the same as "forever". When a woman gets a perm (permanent)....her hair doesn't stay in that condition. She has to go back to the salon and get it re-done from time to time or as new hair grows back. A question I would have for you is..... Why would a "chosen" people or "holy" people be enslaving people at all.....especially with the intention of keeping them in that condition forever and passing them down generation after generation? You say, it's more humane and compassionate than killing them? Not sure about that. The United States either kills an enemy combatant or makes them a POW and eventually releases them. However not enslaving them in the first place and doing the work yourself or hiring somebody to do the work for you seems even MORE humane than enslaving somebody.

A few points........... 1. Your analogy and statement supports what I just said, which is that their orientation DOES NOT change despite any type of sexual encounters they may engage in. 2. In reference to the homosexual man having a baby by a woman........ a) Were you in the room with them during the conception? If not, we don't know for sure exactly HOW the baby was conceived. Meaning, we aren't sure if he got an erection and inserted himself into her vagina. There are other methods. b) As I said before, a lot of BISEXUAL men refer to themselves or are referred to as homosexual out of ignorance. If the man you're referring to was actually BIsexual instead of HOMOsexual, then ofcourse he could get an erection for a woman easily. 3. I'm not sure if you an inherit homosexuality any more than a person can inherit being left handed or right handed. It could be a mechanical defect in the brain...but a natural one designed to occur from time to time.

ProfD Lol...when you say "snatch box", I think of those old stereos from back in the 90s where you could put them in or pull them out of the driver's panel of your car.

Once again, the definition of TANGIBLE........ tangible real and not imaginary; able to be shown, touched, or experienced Are Rainbows REAL....or are people simply "imagining" them when they seem to appear in the sky? Can Rainbows be SHOWN.....or can you only read about them in some sci-fi magazine?
