Well @frankster is intellectually honest. Let's give him a chance to review my comments, the data you shared and reply. It is interesting that you shared this quote. You might consider applying it to your assessment of @aka Contrarian.

@ProfD are you saying that Jews influence that awarding of Nobel Prizes with money? In the sciences that seems unlikely.

Sorry I was unclear; my plan increased by 500% but I was able to find another plan on healthcare.gov that was the same price as my original plan, so my health care costs did not go up.

Yeah that is probably why Jewish people punch over their weight when it comes to winning Noble Prizes and we dominate in basketball.

The best 🙂 Can be excellent too, but inconsistent -- location matters. The one on Canal street in NOLA is the bomb the one around the corner from me sucks. Speaking wings, why is Wing Stop so damn expensive?! My wings are far better than there's shoot, I might make some tonight!

Of course, but I was taking about stereotypes and how buying into them leads to confusion.

@Pioneer1 you may be the only one on this site who shares your assessment of AKA. That alone should tell you something. Perhaps you should take a step back and reassess your position.

KFC is just a rebranding thing many copies of done this UPS, CVS, AALBC, etc. KFC may be selling hormone infused, genetically modified, frankenchickens, but I'm sure it is still "chicken." I don't eat not because I don't think it is chicken, it just does not taste as good as it used to -- virtually every other chicken including any ghetto chicken takeout joint is better than KFC.

I asked you about studying calculus in high school, because I did not study it either. I was too worried about fitting in with my boys on the block: gambling drinking, and chasing girls. Fortunately, I was an athlete and spent a great deal of time, off the block, working out or working my messenger job. The AP Calculus class was full of Asian kids, so they were FAR better at math than us, but that was because they studied it and we did not. They do not demonstrate greater ability cultural differences led them to be better at math. By the time I began studying engineering in college I was already behind -- not just with my lack of knowledge but my ghetto mindset. I believe all groups have the similar inherent ability in math the differences are to do with environment (ex. lead in the drinking water) and culture (ex. ghetto mentality). If you buy into the Chinese kids are better at math than Black kids stereotype, then you do our people a disservice.

Oh, and I left off @aka Contrarian great sense of humor and wit. I have no way od assessing Jim Jone's intellect, but we know he was nuts. AKA is not crazy. You also missed one important characteristic of mine: I'm not a follower. When I was a kid I could fall prey to peer pressure, like many kids, but as an adult I do my own thing 🙂

Because I can read @Pioneer1! I also know much of the bible, including what you shared, is not meant to be taken literally. I also went back and read the parts of the passages you did not post the additional context was helpful I also did a little research on those passages (since I have never read them before) Again, it does not take a biblical scholar to see that using the passage as you have distored the true meaning. But again, we think very differently. Do you consider yourself a biblical scholar Pioneer?

When I went to college and met people from Chicago for the first time, I thought they were from the south. LOL! You need help my friend. Some red bone sister must have broken your heart or laughed at your penis size when you was a teenager. I'm from Harlem, I'd guess I'm close to a decade older, I'd also assume more educated. As far as socioeconomic background. I assume it was similar, but I suspect your family had a car and lived in a home they owned. We did not. Nor did we go on vacations, travel (other than visiting family in the south). But I never went hungry or needed clothing. If anything, I suspect our different level of education explains the bulk of our differing opinons. You buy more into conspiracy theories and stereotypes, are more rigid in your thinking, and interpret information very differently -- looking to it to support a belief rather than learning something new. We both love Black people and go out our way to support them -- that is usually where we find common ground. As far as @aka Contrarian she is simply a very smart person. She also has a lot of life experience which she has been generous enough to share with us over the years -- a blessing. I tend to agree with her more often because she does not buy into all the stereotypes and conspiracy theories you do.

@Pioneer1! I'm no biblical scholar, but I'm astonished that you would take these passages literally, completely out of context, and distorting the intended meaning.

You are looking at it the wrong way. What I'm knocking your use of stereotypes -- particularly as they related to race. Another stereotype is that Asian men are inherently better at math than Black men. Do you think this is true? Now you can look up test scores to support the stereotype, but it could also be Black boys spend more time playing basketball and boasting about penis size than studying math. @Pioneer1 did you study calculus in high school?

My Obama care plan went up by 500% so I’ll have to switch plans. I found another one that was roughly the same price and the hospital network I currently use take the insurance so I believe I’ll be good…. I don’t like the idea of shutting down the government, not paying folks reducing services and all that. Next year is midterm elections will give the Democrats a bit more leverage. And I know it’s early, but I can’t see another republican taking over when Trump leaves. If Trump starts heading out checks again, all bets are off.

ROTFLMBAO! Whenever I read that first line you seem to have influenced for I laughed out loud! Dude are you serious? If so, I think you’re being overly sensitive. Have you considered that my disagreement with you are based upon the nature of your comments I guess at the most basic level is your use of stereotypes particularly as they relate to the social constructive race. The fact of the matter is there would be no discussion forum without @Pioneer1 or @aka Contrarian period. “Da Bears” always reminds me of best Saturday Night Live skit 🙂 it has been 40 years since Chicago has won a championship. They got a good chance to make the Super Bowl this year. My Giants suck this year so I can’t say anything. Good luck to the Bears.

Hey @frankster on that YouTube video you shared. What information was you attempting to relate? Was it that Kentucky Fried chicken stop selling chicken in 1991 and had to change their name to KFC? Is that what you were telling us?

LOL Yeah right! I just never knew someone who admitted to looking at other men’s penises in the locker room. Did you have a clipboard with you? @frankster i’m actually surprised by you. I do not comment on posts or information that I have not actually read. I suspect you did not read the information @Pioneer1 shared. If you did, it doesn’t look like you understood it. I’ll explain. First, you have to recognize that Pioneer often shares information that does not support his conclusions; on more than one occasion, information pioneer shared actually conflicted with the point he was trying to make. Back to the information pioneer shared; first, it does not rise to the level of a “study” It is just information that has been cobbled together indeed, the people who published it said to take the information with the grain of salt. It is not proof nor do the people who published the information assert as such. Second, and most importantly, it is not a report of penis size by race! Nowhere in the report they even mention this. That is a conclusion that Pioneer has incorrectly drawn and is now an asserting as proof. What is surprising Frankster is that you have cosigning this nonsense. When you are fixated on the relative penis size of people with different skin color you will be profoundly confused about a wide variety of things. Pioneer is incorrigible. I don’t expect him to understand this one iota. But I saw something different in you, Frankster perhaps I was wrong.☹️

I only saw the film Glory once. For some reason I wasn’t that moved by it, definitely not. a fave Maybe I’ll check it out again; it will be a different movie to me almost 40 years later.

I have spent time with a variety of different family groups in-laws, baby mama‘s, father family mother‘s family my nuclear family all been good always. My experience simply doesn’t align with that statement. If it is not your experience seek out your friends 🙂

@Pioneer1 this would seem to be true as you fixate on penis size as being the primary means for attracting a woman’s attention. @ProfD actually most scientific projections suggest humanity will eventually be brown as populations continue to mix. The so-called white race will disappear over time.

Sure they do and they will naturally draw false conclusions about the book. This is exactly why they say don’t judge a book by its cover or judge people by the color of their skin. How do you know this? I thought you didn’t watch the film. So even fictional, green characters are now lump in with Black people? What is the next pioneer saying that the Incredible Hulk just reinforces the black male brute stereotype? I’ll grant you that the majority culture will promote their ideas of beauty; fair skin, blonde, hair, blue eyes, fine features, etc — even though most of them don’t look like that. Obviously Black people, despite straightening their hair and dying it blonde and using cream lighters will never achieve that standard. but suggesting that the producers of the movie, wicked crafted the green character simply to reinforce negative black stereotypes is an extreme leap to make based upon a movie poster of a film you purportedly have not seen.

lol! Yes the name speaks for itself. Braggadocio is unnecessary. Dude, the only erect penis I’ve ever seen is mine. Besides an locker room I’m not trying to look at another brother’s joint. were you that guy peeping over the urinal checking out my package the last time I was in Detroit? It is impossible for it to be a scientific fact. Just repeating it doesn’t make it so even the report you shared indicated this. This was not a peer reviewed study that you shared if you look at some of the peer reviewed studies they reflect how problematic it is collecting the data and drawing meaningful conclusions. One interesting thing I read is that folks with high BMI’s tend to have shorter penises because of the pad of fat at the base in their pelvis.

I watched it again within the last year or so you appreciate it differently at different stages of life.

Just how many penises have you sized up over the years? So why “contradick” this and insist that there is one? Your “reasoning” never ceases to astonish me. Shooting down the myth that’s so-called Black people have the biggest dicks is not disparaging black men. It is interesting. You take so much pride in this myth. If you are packing 10+ inches. and that is important to you. Take pride in that you don’t have to perpetrate a myth. Black people have plenty of actual and meaningful accomplishments to be proud of couldn’t be the mothers and fathers of civilization — indeed humanity. Yes, they are marketed to people ego think like you. Of course it is.
