let me ask. what is a strong woman. or rather who is a strong woman? were our mothers strong women?

Part answer for the first is below. Part because that's not all a strong woman is.

Answer to the second is, my mother and my sisters. I'd include myself, but I might be lying.

And answer to the third is, yes to my mother is strong and hopefully, or rather I bet, yes to your mother is strong too, making "our mothers". Can't say for everyone else's mother though, as some mothers are dogs, as one can tell from the pigs and bîtches they spawn.

And yes, my own very subjective perspective with no objectivity whatsoever.

Do you know that Obama once spent 200million a day on a trip to India?

FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene.

Obrigardo. Ijebos. Budaatum.

I'm making an assertion. Obama is the one who selected Tim Walz as Kamala Harris running mate.

Don't say you are making an assertion when the truth is, you are conspiracising.

Former President Barack Obama has expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris' decision to select Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.

Looks like you unequally yoked and should have yoked with a person who yokes like you want to yoke and are now trying to yoke him like you.

Goodluck with that, or unyoke yourself from your desires or unyoke yourself from him.

basilico:
In the beginning there there was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
You long post e reminds me of that verse.

As it rightly should. Though I'm actually saying the exact opposite. That in the beginning there were sub-humans, sub to denote their inability to speak. And then they evolved and formed words and language in order to communicate.

The difference in view is you see from a creationist perspective while I see evolution.

njelrapheal:
your two statements are contradictory. maybe you should explain what you mean by 'strong men'. and why can a weak woman love a strong woman if by your logic, she would not know what to do with him. unless you agree there are clear differences between a man and a woman which applies to the core formation of human civilization.

For the bold, respect. For reason, see here.

Contradiction? buda is guilty

And a correction. I never said "weak woman love a strong woman", though that's not exactly impossible.

"Strong men", in context used, is wealthy man, bold man, masculine man, struts his diq with multiple women, and to be exact, or in my opinion, is weak man

Strong man can also be loyal man. Think dad, I assume, who never cheats and sticks with his one wife.

I do however accept your "stronger man" definition.

njelrapheal:
why cant I also say a strong man stands up for himself and a stronger man stands up for everyone else. I mean through out human civilizations, strong men who stood up for others brought about freedom from oppression.

Indeed you can say "a strong man stands up for himself and a stronger man stands up for everyone", and no one, least not me, would stop you. But if I were to say the exact same thing, I'd say the weak man stands up for himself while the strong man stands up for everyone else.

As for difference between man and woman, I guess that's clear, as I haven't yet seen a pregnant man bar one, or perhaps two.

IjeBos:
All fair and well but at some point we have to have a generalized understanding of words to communicate.

We can not have a generalized understanding of words, I don't think, since we aren't all walking around with the same dictionary, which makes that "some point" when words one uses are understood in the context in which they are used.

I, for instance, am very well known for using words in a non-conventional way. I'd say things like "handmaid's tailing" to illustrate a point, and you'd understand where I'm going because you understand the reference, but as you well know, some wouldn't have a clue what I'm saying and go humptydumpty on me, claiming I said what I never said. Now, if only they'd ask for a definition or clarification instead of assuming what one meant, but that would involve admitting they don't know what I meant, and the gods have forbidden the admittion of ignorance, it seems.

Words, at least complex words, and moreso, complex conversations, are hardly generalized, is my point, so one must put in some effort to understand what one hears instead of assuming they're talking dictionary. This, afterall, is the American Politics thread, where lying dump is the only honest person for some, and maths is racist, and is the reason I don't let the thread's idiot occupy my time too much.

IjeBos:
And I posit that if your arguments rests on "words mean what one says they mean", it's probably not a winning argument. but ey.

And here's a classic example of you assuming what I meant instead of understanding what I said. And to be honest, its why you and I argue so much.

I never said "words mean what one says they mean", or at least that's not what I meant. But if I give you my definition of a word, you should at least consider my use of the word as I've defined it if I have. That in no way means words must mean what I say they mean, since it is very possible I'm ignorant and just talking from my ass or intentionally using words in my convoluted way.

An example is if I define hot as 0 °C. You could bother arguing that is not hot, but I'm very certain you'd not bother making tea with my "hot" water despite all my protesting, and might just watch me make a fool of myself serving tea with my 0°C 'hot water'. It in no way means hot water must be 0°C for smarter more knowledgeable you now, does it, since words don't mean what I say they mean, but whenever I say hot, I'm certain you'd know I ignorantly mean cold.

Xavier5 defined his liberal values as "truth, reasoning, progressiveness, open mindedness, liberty, human rights and value, equality, democracy etc", and the only argument is if one wants to claim he's none of those things, which one would need evidence for, and which I don't think we have apart from his support for slimy Vivek I suppose, slimy being my own subjective opinion.

Words are hardly objective, is my point here, so one must consider the subject's subjective use of words too if one wants to understand what others are saying, least if one cares.

IjeBos:
But what I do see quite frequently nowadays are people saying stuff like "I'm a Democrat but" than take a 180 degree opposite stance.
My antenna goes up when I hear that.

And good for you and your antenna. But why should I or anyone care about your antenna, especially if, after all is said and done, I go and vote blue, or even vote red?

Consider the flip side. A certain Ms Cheney is a Republican, but I hear she's campaigning for Kamala. Would you argue she's gone Blue therefore, and is no more a Republican?

IjeBos:
Why can't one just argue their positions and views, without labeling themselves?

Because we live in a labelling world, I'm afraid, where labelling is simpler.

If left to me, I'd label myself buda, but you must have heard me labelled all sorts here. Thankfully, labels don't stick because I don't care what idiots think or say, probably because my antenna is made in China. And by China, I mean fake, with apologies for the ignorant stereotype.

And on that point, I've just discovered Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. The first line is "I never said Barack Obama is a socialist", but that seems to be what was heard. The question was then asked, "do you consider yourself a Democrat, Republican or an Independent?" And the answer was, "I consider myself a New York Jets fan, Steven". I think I'm going to enjoy this series.

She's free fuq it seems, or at least can become free fuq, though I'd personally be concerned at what she sells me unless I condomised her.

The following comes to mind. I thought of choosing a line for you, but just about every one fit.

njelrapheal:
why is it one sided. a weak woman cant love a strong man.

You have a point, but I must disagree, as "strong men" do tend to mostly have more than one weak woman loving them.

The women who are not weak often have that strong man to themselves. And he is even stronger because she is beside him.

IjeBos:
Liberalism is an ideology. An ideology has tenets/beliefs.

Have you not heard of humptydumtyism, where words mean exactly what one says they mean? It wouldn't be a thing if everyone lived by one recognised dictionary and word meaning.

IjeBos:
Do you think if you don't align with those tenets/beliefs of an ideology, that you can say you are part of that ideology?

Like I can't call myself a Christian despite not loving my neighbour and murdering her husband whom I covet and not believing in Christ? I wish humans were that logical.

You yourself mentioned Bush's "compassionate conservatism". I went further and looked up "fascist liberal" for its sake and was rather surprised, though its just the title of a book. Liberal conservative surprised me much less. I've after all heard some define liberalism as socialism, and even communism.

Words may matter to one, but it is, in my opinion, illiberal to assume words matter or must matter equally to everyone else. Such thinking leaves no room for idiots and fools who don't know what words mean and those who just see things different to how oneself might.

And I repeat. I'm not talking about anyone here in particular, but people, generally.

Humans cultures that had no atheism had no thinking people. Such cultures likely accepted their gods from, or just copied, others, and are more like ignorant Adam in the Garden of Eden, and not at all like disbelieving Eve who used her own senses to free them both from slavery. Such cultures today don't produce much technology or ideas, and are more likely to yell "Nepa!", than "there is light", as light production requires brain use.

Atheist meant, not accepting the prevailing state theos, and people who didn't accept the state's theos have always existed everywhere, despite their suppression, as no one can stop people using their own minds, thank Gods.

Xavier5:
I feel we are just the one making them so for political reasons.

Labels make life easy for some, as it's hard for most to understand some can chew and spit and gaggle at the same time. You'd be easier to hit without an AR15 if I can pigeon hole you with a single shot. Cheaper on brain use too.

I love when I allah akbar Om jesus is lord, being the non-theist I am. Throw in some to be or not to be, and to most I'm shaking spears like abami eda in skirt.

Its fun confusing the dim witted, must say, as it forces brain use or dodoisation.

And no, I'm not talking about anyone here in particular, but people, generally.

raumdeuter:
How does that represent MOST anti abortionist? It's like saying Osama represent most Moslems

Most anti-abortionists are not just against abortion for themselves. In fact, they don't need to be anti-abortionists for themselves because they don't plan to abort. What they intend is to impose their anti-abortionism on others, same way Osama wanted to impose his form of whatever it was on others.

So, I wouldn't say "It's like saying Osama represent most Moslems", but that most anti-abortionists are like Osama, and not so much in their terrorism, since most anti-abortionists are not terrorists, but in their desire to impose their will on others like Osama tried to do.

That said. Let me share a conspiracy with you. I call it conspiracy so you are minded to consider it instead of mindlessly believe it.

I'm not all gloom and doom . Ever written anything positive about Trump? I didn't have to bring up the Texas Exchange you know. I could be declared a far left liberal ,😚, if there is such a term, i'm told there is a liberal checker here, I'm glad to note you silently retired from your role as a grammar and homework teacher. It was infuriating, I must say.

The only reason you'd say positive things about Biden is there's lots of positive things to say about Biden, while there is nothing positive to say about pussy grabbing lying grafting dump.

And you know very well that I've never bothered about your grammar (provide evidence I have please!), because your lying is way more concerning.

PlanetZero:
Rsiec belongs to the state governemnt. Why such sensitive move not communicated to the chief security officer of the state. It is either you are a apc member. Because this your question get as e be. Dem wan chop u clean for naija and u dey ask for evidence. Lmaooo

Fubara of PDP who wants to run local government election wants to chop u clean but the lying IGP doesn't?

I'd ask you for evidence, but you'd likely claim I'm an APC supporter again, so I wouldn't waste my time.

Threatening to shed blood and to burn down the State because of a Local Government election....

I have not seen any evidence of Fubara saying the above.

If any one else has please direct me, or I'll start calling the Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun a liar.

From what I just read, what mayweather did is similar obtaining under false pretence

And the defence made him pay for his pretence.

the court has gone ahead to instruct USA attorneys to target Mayweather’s 2015 Bugatti GSV or his 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, both valued over the judgment amount

Wike wants to enslave a while Rivers state. Its left for the people of Rivers to agree and become slaves or break loose and support their governor.

The choice is entirely ours.

Softmirror, do note the above wise words.

We Nigerians need to learn to teach our courts to function.

P.s. Read that again before you quote to comment please.

a lower court had ordered Mayweather to pay Zinni $1,638,542 in damages, $721,881.32 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in sanctioned attorney fees, as well as $285 in costs, which continues to grow at 10% per annum.

If the will of the people is at disonance with my personal belief then I live with it or leave the place.

Except that most anti-abortionists don't reason that way because they want to impose their choice on my body.

My dear brother. Fubara wasn't sincere to Wike if not for his pretense of loyalty Wike would not have supported him ....

All that na story, like Esau complaining about Jacob.

Wike got outsmarted and Fubara is the governor now, and there's nothing Esau can do about it!

You also forgot this. Texas Stock Exchange set to be launched.

The Texas Stock Exchange is taking shape. The TXSE, which aims to be a fully electronic national securities exchange to rival the New York Stock Exchange, revealed its executive leadership team and their notable credentials on Monday, September 30.

Good job Joe Biden?

Yes, very good job Biden for enabling an environment for competition to thrive, which improves efficiency, and for more jobs to be created in Texas.

The little I know about the case is that she was ordered to delete electoral machine data by the Secretary, she took a backup first with the help of others and gave it to some fraud hunters. She was a whistleblower, but the 2020 election was the most secure ever that everybody who questions it gets jailed.

The little you know is she is a whistleblower?

Dude, please go and educate yourself with the facts instead of drinking the dump aid!

Who is causing the anarchy?! Be sincere to yourself?

People who say "Be sincere to yourself", often don't believe their own lies. Everyone can see who is causing the anarchy in Rivers State instead of being the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. He is after all not the minister of Rivers State, and should face his own portfolio.

You should hope it doesn't work the way you think it does, that you can just cause anarchy in a state and then declare state of emergency and commot the governor.

In fact, you should be sad if it worked that way.

Please try to watch the video of Adeboye saying what he said about tithes

The man hasn't asked his members to stop paying tithes or did he discourage it in any way.
He now wants them to pay more because according to him the 10% is for beginners.

Lol if true. Perhaps Inflation has negatively impacted tithes and it now needs to increase to scorethes.
