Chinese products that are online may have backdoors allowing for Chinese military hackers control hem remotely.

I also believe every Chinese national working outside the country is mandated to assist mother China if so demanded. They leave families behind who like NKorea does are a bargaining chip.
They need to be less generous and start blocking these people from entering the US.

Happy people don't invest hours of their time trolling, then more time crying about people blocking them because of that insufferable trolling.
It seems like the men tal health issues reflected in polls about the left the other dy apply to you quite well.

It's a shame that you seem tired of blocking me already l. I’ve asked you to block me, but you refuse. I wonder why that is.

It’s like a disgruntled ex-girlfriend who stalks her ex and wants to know what he’s up to all the time.


You, Coco, and Amazon keep talking about re-blocking when you see posts from people you've been eager to block. All I did was remin you to adhere to the commitments you made for yourselves.

Thirsty Attention who’re. Did Seun exclude you from the block option? Or Is this your lame attempt to pretend like you weren’t hurt by being blocked?

Because if you TRULY didn’t care you wouldn’t be harping on it so much. Your last mention to me on your other account was about how I’m blocking you. Now this again. Obviously it’s hurting your feels or you won’t be commenting on it.

If someone had me blocked and the block expires, next time I see their post, I’ll ignore it because clearly they don’t care for my interaction. Acting thirsty and making sure they notice me would be embarrassing to me.

Before the block feature you were on the ignored list. Have some self respect.
My last mention of you is how you blocked me so I could not read your messages and you can't read mine but yet you are complaining about the very posts you don't want to see.

You did the same with STOLEN

Again, how do you block someone, then logout to read their messages, log back in to complain about something you don't want to see?

Because you guys have been yapping about blocking, I am reminding you the block has expired so you can block me again. You should be thanking me

I am not men tally unstable like you as new data shows so I don't use the block button.

If you are serious about using the block button, thank me for reminding you. Only Budaatum and a few other leftists here are not men. tally disturbed.

Day 6 did not include Adam.

The Image of God created on day 6 was told to rule and subdue and dominate the earth, and eat every seed bearing fruit.

Adam, who was created after God had rested on the 7th day was told to tend a garden and had the fruit of knowledge deducted from his pay.

But I am not at all surprised you can't see this, as not many do. Before you read the book yourself you've been indoctrinated into the belief you are expressing here, and nothing bar you becoming a child and thereby abandoning all you've been taught and looking at it with your own eyes will make you see.

Fact is if I want to enslave you, I must lie to you and deprive you of knowledge so you don't know the truth and rebel against me, just as was done in the Garden of Eden. And once you understand that, the narrative changes from how to enslave others, to learning from Eve how to free oneself from slavery and oppression, with knowledge.
You don't understand the Bible then. You want to twist it for your own story.

The text says, "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made".

Tell me. When you rest do you not start work again afterwards, or does rest mean retired and worked no more?
That's your lying spin.
Day 1: Light (Genesis 1:3-5)
Day 2: Sky and waters (Genesis 1:6-cool
Day 3: Land, seas, and vegetation (Genesis 1:9-13)
Day 4: Sun, moon, and stars (Genesis 1:14-19)
Day 5: Sea creatures and birds (Genesis 1:20-23)
Day 6: Land animals and man (male and female, including Adam and Eve) (Genesis 1:24-31)
Day 7: God rested and sanctified the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3)

Genesis 2:1-3 states:
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their heavenly lights.
By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had

This means by the seventh day there is nothing left to create. So he rested

Verse 5, along with the others bolded, explicitly imply the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" on the eight day after he had rested.

After the Lord had then formed the man from dust did he "planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed".

But that's not even the conclusive evidence. The fact Adam was not given the same duties and pay as the Image shows they couldn't possible be the same creation unless you want to argue God decided to demote the Image to a naked ignorant slave, which he's unlikely to be able to do since they are themselves in God's image with the same powers and abilities and might resist being enslaved by their peer. Hence, slave Adam.
Are willfully being ignorant?

See your quote
Genesis 2 King James Version

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Chapter 2 is a detailed description of how Adam was formed in Chapter 1.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The Bible clearly stated Adam and eve was created in the 6th day and on the 7th day he rested. How can God be done with creation before the 7th day and then create again in the 8day?

I have showed you verses that specifically said God created Adam in his image.

Genesis 1:26-27 states that God created man in His own image: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Again, chapter 2 is a detail description of chapter 1.

Who are the men God created in his image since you argue it is not Adam?

No, animals can reason, but they are not created to be like humans. God already stated, even before the fruit was eaten, that humans should have dominion over the animals.

Your argument does not make sense. Why not say that other fruits did not eat the fruit as well, which is why they cannot reason?

The difference in reasons between humans and animals is that humans were created in the image of God.

This just shows an inability to comprehend due to the inability to use ones own senses to look for oneself and see, and it is a mistake many make too that allows them to accept they are slaves made from mud as opposed to rulers and dominators and subduers in God's image.

But I am not in the least surprised since you already admitted a preference for knowledge that is revealed to you (which includes how you must understanding the text concerned), over experiential knowledge (which is how your own eyes and your own mind might see), so I don't expect you to see what I see with my own senses.



Genesis Chapter 2 clearly provides detail of additional creations after God had created both male and female in his own Image in chapter one and found them to be good, rested on the Sabbath, and then created ignorant slaves from mud to tend a tiny portion of what was created in chapter 1. Damn! God didn't even bother finding Adam good, which to the discerning might imply less effort was inputted to the molding of the mud, which makes sense since its job was to slave in a poxy garden.

What God told Adam is not what God told his own image, and the food Adam was to eat is less than what the image was given to eat.

One might argue that Adam was slaving in the garden to tend the fruits of knowledge for the Image to eat, since it's eating is a requirement for gaining the knowledge and ability to rule and subdue and dominate and multiply, but I think that might stretch you way too far.
You are posting nonsense here.

Genesis 1:26-27: Humanity (man = adam) is created in God’s image, male and female, on the sixth day, with dominion over creation.

God declares all creation “very good”
(Genesis 1:31).

Genesis 2:1-3: God rests on the seventh day, having completed creation.


Genesis 2:4-25: This chapter shifts to a detailed account, starting with: These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created(2:4). It describes the formation of “the man” from dust (2:7), the planting of the Garden of Eden (2:cool, and the creation of animals and Eve (2:18-23).

The creation of Adam, Eve, and the garden is understood as part of the “man” created in Genesis 1:26-27.

Genesis 2-4 doesn’t indicate a new creation phase.
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

The tree of knowledge is in the garden (2:9), and Adam is told not to eat from it (2:17). Eating its fruit leads to knowledge of good and evil (3:5-7), not dominion or multiplication, you know they already had that in Genesis 1:28.

You said he is a slave, if that is true why was he given dominion over everything?

Dominion: Power or the use of power; sovereignty over something; stewardship, supremacy.

You cannot have dominion over everything if you are a slave.

I already made it clear Adam was created in the image of God in Genesis c1 no new creation took place in Genesis c2.

You don't understand the Bible

Adam was not supposed to multiply and fill the earth. He was put into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Period.

Those who do not eat fruits of knowledge can not possibly "multiply and fill the earth"! And its precisely because enough of us Nigerians do not eat fruits of knowledge that makes our multiplying slow and our dominating and subduing next to zilch.

At the moment, we are even struggling to tend the Garden of Nigeria just because we do not eat sufficient fruits of knowledge.
The animals did not eat the fruit

God could not possible have been talking to Adam in Chapter 1:28 because Adam was not created until Chapter 2.

See above.
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Your argument that God could not have been speaking to Adam in c1v28 is incorrect because Adam was created in c1. C2 simply provides additional details about Adam's creation. This is the fundamental understanding of the Bible.

Apart from the fact you seem to have missed my "some", and inferred I insinuated "all lands", this is far more reasoning than I expected from you.

Just know that Ramaphosa may appropriate land, but he'd not find it easy appropriating funding from banks for those farmers, nor knowledge or experience either.

As for it being a mistake Zimbabwe made, Nigeria did the same with the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Decree of 1972, by which we appropriated foreign owned companies. It wasn't land in our case, but the sentiment is similar And while I might look at the subsequent decline of the companies that were appropriated, I can understand why its done.

I'd also claim its no different to America First, but you'd then think my understanding is support, so consider it more like native Americans land back and Israel's more aggressive genocidal form.
The claim that South Africa’s land reform is no different from America First is a stretch. America First is a nationalist policy associated with prioritizing U.S. interests, economic protectionism, and the control of their borders.

South Africa’s land reform, while prioritizing national interests, is more about historical justice and equity than economic nationalism. The comparison oversimplifies the motivations and contexts here.

In addition, we know what became of the Nigerian Manufacturing industry after the Government forced foreign owned businesses to hand over to Nigerians. The lack of sufficient capital, technical expertise, and managerial experience among new Nigerian owners contributed to a decline in productivity, and the shutdown of numerous companies such as textile mills, flour mills, and refineries across states was inevitable.

This is ignorant, since you don't just transform plenty of unused land into farmland just like that.

Don't you consider some of that unused land is unused because it is rocky, or perhaps too far away from water and transport that might have in the past be directed, with government spending, to the desirable land that is already owned and not to the unused land?

It is also naive to think the people who decades ago chose the land they wanted for themselves would leave the better easily transformed to farmland for those coming now to easily transform the rest to farmland. But I bet you also think the whites who transformed land to farmland completely ignored the land the black people were farming for themselves, because black South Africans were not farming before white people arrived and transformed land to farm?

Some blacks who might want to transform land to farmland today might not have the history that might enable them to get the assistance and loans at desirable rates given to those with historical land ownership records, or have access to the international markets the long time land owners have access to etc, etc, etc.

But like you said, I don't expect you to understand how any of that enters into this conversation.
I think some of your points are valid, but they oversimplify the situation.

Don't you consider some of that unused land is unused because it is rocky, or perhaps too far away from water and transport that might have in the past be directed, with government spending, to the desirable land that is already owned and not to the unused land?
This is your quote, insinuating that all the lands available are rocky, far from water, etc. It is a valid point, but that is not what the entire situation is.

the ANC government expropriated nearly 4 million hectares of arable farmland, and they spent at least $5 billion to expropriate white-owned property and give it to black people over the last 30 years.

Some 90% of farms redistributed to South Africa's black population from white farmers are not productive, the government has said.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8547621.stm

a 3,000-hectare farm, the biggest citrus plantation that was expropriated in 2003, that is valued at $30 million, producing 3m export quality oranges per year. It received a $30 million grant, and it still went bankrupt in 2023, valued at a reduced value of 1/100th of its original value, buildings in ruin, and citrus plantations chopped down for firewood.

The farmland that was given away, what happened to it? Again, remind yourself of the BBC article?

You are here making excuses for a country that is making the same mistake Zimbabwe made.

The Kind of farming that was happening is nothing compared to what is happening today. not nearly enough to sustain a nation, and still have more to export to other countries.
