  1. Game Builder Garage for Nintendo doesn't allow everything possible with the system. But, a game like the old Kung Fu is doable. I only made two boards, showing two different enemies. I will love for game builder garage to have a way to share beyond system to system or through nintendo's data service. But if any are interested in advancing this game, lets go for it.

  6. @Troy fair enough, good work @Troy one point, am*zon , google, microsoft, intel , kraft, it isn't firms in the usa who are monopolies based on their own actions. they are monopolies based on the governments aiding and abetting their fiscal domination. I remember the second phase of the internet, the government led to the tech companies being organized the way they are. I am not saying some firms can not or some firms are not capable of becoming monopolies, but the environment for monopoly is brewed by governments.

  8. @Troy yeah, the real remedy is better offline lives but that is a whole other topic
  9. @Stefan I oppose your assessment. Twitter and local news is more negative or toxic than any black website. Twitter is full of misinformation ... no to easy a word. Twitter is full of lies, so many lies the tweet stream can't handle it. But the viewership goes to twitter cause trump posts there/obama posts there. Meaning what? Online facebook or twitter both mastered having accounts that bring people into a platform even if the platform allows for the most negative content. Yes, Troy hasn't gotten denzel washington to be a member of AALBC, but for the record, Facebook plus Twitter paid or pay for those people to join them. It isn't based on the quality of the websites.
  10. yes @Troy but what do all of those issues have in common? pro lifers say that regardless of situation you have to have the baby, the raped woman has to have the baby. pro death penalty , regardless of the situation you have to lose your life for your crimes, the legal systems inefficacy is irrelevant if found guilty. pro war , regardless of the situation you have to fight, even if the reasoning or background of a war has nothing to do with protection or security, you must fight it to mark your territory. All of these positions are disinterested with the preposition. Allowing a raped thirteen year old an abortion she wants shows concern for her being raped , maybe she will have a more positive home life not having to deal with being a mom with no possible preparation. Allowing imprisonment shows concern for the legal systems faults, maybe he gets out in thirty years as innocent. Allowing longer deliberation before the troops are sent shows concern for peace in the future, maybe the lives not killed or mangled will lead to a better peace in that land far away It isn't wierd, it makes sense if you look at what unites these desires.
  11. I don't wish black folk ill. I have opposed the entire tenure of Clarence Thomas plus the legal work that I am aware of before he became a supreme court judge. But I also have opposed the entire tenure of barrack obama. In the same token, never wished him ill. but reading the comments here this post went from an announcement to a debate on the value of clarence thomas. To be blunt, Black members of the party of abraham lincoln highly respect clarence thomas and he reflects the opinion of many black people. Not most, not a majority, but many. So, thomas will be missed by a significant portion of the black populace in the usa, side others.
  12. @Troy the reason why black folks have to read about black on black crime cause white owned media chooses that to be a genre to emit. It also helps that white asians/white latinos/white women side many other whites enjoy berating the black peoples who are aside them in their particular races, ala black latinos. But the question is the solution. And as this site proves. Black people are the problem. We don't use the media black people own enough. In the same way we don't use the hsbc's enough. If we as a people can't ween off white media it isn't white media's fault that they are doing what is best for them. Your point is correct but the problem is the solution goes against what most black people in the usa say is a solution, ala getting white media to change.

  14. It is just simple thoughts. Nothing fancy and looking for points rarely or leastly spoken, not battles The right to bear arms stems from the right to protect one self from the neighbor who is always with you, the government. https://www.kobo.com/audiobook/richard-murray-s-pulpit-episode-1 The dysfunctional strategy that is behind Roe vs Wade is the problem https://www.kobo.com/audiobook/richard-murray-s-pulpit-episode-2
  15. Stefan, I never said abortion is a woman's issue, nor did I say men should mouth off, please quote where I said any of that. I quote myself and technically your wrong. sperm has to still come from males. now I know the scientists are working on knowing how to make sperm in the lab for mass production but even in the future that will not be a common thing. so even with in vitro males are still needed. Not for fornication, but still to make the sperm to procreate.
  16. @Pioneer1 I disagree, in my experience black people, men /women/adults/children/english speaking/non english speaking are not ignorant of government but are unsold on governments capability. I don't like repeating myself but I repeat, I will speak solely of new york city, a city of over ten million people. The white populace in NYC isn't some grand organized thing. It wasn't the white populace who had plans, white leaders had plans and exacted those plans. the NYPD wasn't started because white people wanted it. Boss tweed , a white man who was irish, wanted it. He wanted to get results. The word that i find few black people ever utter about those who are in leadership positions in the black populace in the usa or elsewhere for that matter. In the NYPD boss tweed found a way to get a voting block totally in his favor that will only grow over time. a way to GIVE jobs to irish people, GIVE not test in/scholarship/ GIVE jobs to irish people, thus he became a hero in the irish populace in NYC, even though he was dirty to the core. The white jewish community mafia was started in harlem is very old. Goldman sachs is a white jewish bank who always manipulates nyc government , as that is simple for a bank whose members always end up with one the treasury secretary of the usa. It isn't the white jewish community going out in the street it is white jews in leadership positions getting results, and all cause they want to. The rockefellers didn't make the guggenheim or rockefeller center because of the white populaces voting schema. They did it on their own. They created a labor environment for endowment money that is huge for nyc. They didn't have to, they chose to. It did help a rockefeller become governor of new york state. he himself helped the cops with his drug war policy, which again helped a huge voting block the cops. but he chose to, that is the key that i find black people miss. The influence of the public works the rockefellers spent on in NYC is today, near priceless but they didn't do it cause the white populace of nyc told them to or had some voting plan or some financial plan from the white masses, they did it themselves. The problem Pioneer is that black people like most human beings stop caring about government when it is clear government agents are not concerned with them. I don't know where you live and don't say it. But, find the nearest region that is mostly black where you live, whether that is where you live or farther away. I am certain a black person is the elected representative of said region. Go that person and ask them, what do you plan to do for the betterment of black people? IF they say nothing, which they will, then you know why black people in that region think nothing of government. You want people to be engaged in government. I have a best solution. get results. Get them jobs, get them homes, do whatever you gotta do to make their financial life better than their neighbors and they will vote for you over 90% . Government isn't hard Pioneer but black people sadly have turned government into this falsely complicated thing because we don't want to admit that the people in government who are leaders in the black village by their positions cant get results, but we want black people to act like they can, Get results. Why is schrumptf still popular? he got results. he shifted the supreme court. he supported israel above and beyond. Does that make him good or wise ? no, but he got results so some communities who were waiting for results are totally supportive of him over the others who talk a lot and produce no results, ala the poal rank and file. That is why geb bush lost easily. The bushes don't get results. They are talkers. ... black people know about government but you like so many in our village want black people to be engaged in government as if they are getting something in return when they never do. And I can't ask that of any people. I think it is unfair. I repeat, black people don't curse mandela in south africa for nothing.
  17. remember to send it to a non profit @Mel Hopkins
  18. @Mel Hopkins you claim what I said is bigoted or stereotypical but I see it as truth. I will go one step further. most people in the usa have one primary concern, money. This is a fiscal capitalistic country. Most people in the usa have always been poor. sequentially, most are concerned with not being poor. cause being poor sucks. I chose that term but various terms defining a negative state are all applicable. the post was about black people so I mentioned black people only. but most native americans are poor, they care mostly about money. most whites, to be blunt, are poor, they care about money. Most people in the usa care about one thing primarily, above all others. Money. I am not going to prove anything to you Mel. I don't have to, and I add, please continue to label my words as such based on your criteria. But I want it known, I disagree completely with your assessment to my words as bigoted or stereotypical. .... You can send my award to a non profit.

  21. The black populace in the USA in majority has one prime concern, money. Most Black people are not ignorant of the supreme court law or gun laws or any of those things but those things don't relate to what black people , correctly, care about most and that is money.
  22. ITs fine @Troy I know you have opposed am*zon's ways, but google or am*zon or whomever are the same as firms that are looking to dominate the internet. The site runs well. You know my philosophy, do as best you can , and it is up to us in this group, this community, to improve it as well. Increase membership with our popularity. One day AALBC will be able to have its own advertisement system, that to me is the real goal advertising wise on this site.
  23. Abortion isn't ended, each state in the union has the right to have its own abortion laws. a black woman in NY state is in the same situation before the supreme courts ruling as after. So, for black women that live in states that outlaw abortion what does it matter? well , most of those states are southern or midwestern. Now, the black descended of enslaved populace in the USA's oldest regions of living are in the southern states. Does this ruling matter? no. what matters to black people in mississippi/louisian/alabama/texas/georgia <outside the affluent blacks>/carolinas is the same thing that has mattered to black people in those places before the war between the states. How can we be free of the environment we are in that is controlled by whites? The answer is still the answer it was, for most, no way and the black populace offers no opportunity as a collective to help. Most Black individuals have to fend for themselves.
  24. glad all are enjoying themselves:)
