So is he not part of it?

NATO allied forces went into Libya to enforce a UN Security Council resolution to protect civilian protesters being killed by the Gaddafi regime.

The US played a support role in that operation. So Obama didn't invade Libya.

That's why I don't talk to kids. Now you want a new argument while ignoring the substance of what I stated. Boko Haram gave fuel to ipob, and if you are ignorant of things they are likely going to affect people's lives this year. Obama or NATO whatever you want to call it, empowered Boko Haram militantly from Mali, Niger, Chad and then Borno. It's something kids like you won't grasp.

Read my polite correction again and read this tantrum and shame you just spewed and tell me who the obvious entitled spoilt kid is.

Smh

steady986:
This is the kind of guy we should be chasing, not Collison . But I don't think we should give Kuzma up for him sha

You need a good trading chip if you want such a good player and Kuzma is that piece for the Lakers. Lose some, gain some. Painfully so, I must admit.

beckNcall:
Let's stop this foolish talk. The Obama invasion of Libya gave you what you knew as the militant Boko Haram for years. A world war will affect you even if you live inside the toilet. Also remember Iran has used our ports many times to ship weapons into the country. Don't be silly

Get your facts right. Obama didn't invade Libya. NATO did. The invasion by NATO forces were laid by France and UK. Obama and the US came in to join the allied forces reluctantly much later.

He may be related to Ihedioha.

Imbecilic leaders whose only achievement is to destroy the legacies of past leaders out of bitterness and jealousy plus the pain from realizing they can and will never attain such greatness.

He should come and bulldoze the reverence Saraki still holds in our hearts.

Product of a pit-latrine romance.

The greatness acquired by looting our commonwealth. Receive sense.

May this treatment go round to all those who have contributed to keep this nation and the longsuffering masses down.

One can argue that this narrative you(Eruditor) are putting out runs deep in the Warriors organization and that D. Green only gave vent to a widely held perception that they don't need him. If this holds true, then one can also argue that KD felt disrespected or unappreciated at the Warriors.

You lost 2016, you went all out to seek for and get the ultimate assurance, KD of all people, deuces! He needs a ring desperately, you need another ring, badly. You win 2 rings with him and all of a sudden, you are hearing we don't need him and we would have won without him. That's BS.

An emotional KD will fight back. And he did.

KD is not perfect. KD had no father figure in his childhood. This explains his insecurities and weaknesses and caprices. I understand that. But to discount his contributions to the Warriors 2 rings? Haba!!!

SmooshCHN:
Uncle, stop being dramatic for the fun of it. It's a two way street here. As a Warriors fan, we could make a case that the Warriors gave him 2 rings and we can also say he gave us two rings. The reality is that the Warriors won one without him and 2 with him. Both parties won benefited here. That's what fans on this thread stood for so if you saw were any Warriors fan called him a snake or villian, quote it and if not just come out like some already have and let us know you're trolling.

Same tactics that made him join is what you're calling criticizing. Same tactics that got him the two rings he worked for. The Warriors can never do anything good with you guys. Suddenly y'all became KD's attorney after like 3yrs of bashing him and the Warriors.

From Warriors fans on this thread:

"KD is not a victim. He is not a martyr in all this."

"In a few years we will revisit who helped who. Whether GSW helped KD or KD helped GSW. "

"I don't even need to be one of the higher-ups to know what he did. I laughed when I saw a post saying KD said nothing against the Warriors. In fact, the only thing he did not say was the one he knew that if he did, they would sue him for. Every other thing he said."

"But GSW that won KD rings he would have never won anywhere else are scum."


Some Warriors fans questioning his rings and his contributions is a ripple that resurrects D. Green's unwarranted insults on him and identifies with the KD is a snake and has plastic rings crusade. I do not expect that from Warriors fans. It's a betrayal and it makes your enemies, people like Ersan happy

I respect KD. The most I have ever pointed out here about him was the weak move he made. I have never slandered him nor called him any name whatsoever.

My point is some of your guys are now no better than than those you"ve lampooned here for dissing him.

KD is not perfect, he has never been. He is very emotional and sometimes allows it to get in his way. It's a fact and it was pointed out here many times to which many of you leapt to his defense . So what has changed? An emotional KD is a constant. True, he should have kept quiet about tactics but he didn't attack nor damage anything to warrant being left out in that tribute or the slander by some.

Tundesam923:
always? Lmao. How the system doesn't work?(won you 2 rings!!!)The same system he talked glowingly about? Why it was the main reason he wanted to join and that he was tired of isos? He said a lot of things right after he left. Rachel nichols had to interview steph about it. You should look it up. Not a good look for gsw, but don't make the guy the victim, martyr of this story, he's not...

So many GSW fans have now joined the KD is a snake and villain and was gifted rings bandwagon all of a sudden because KD criticized aspects of their tactics or because they have to defend a fallible management by all means by hook or crook?

Won him 2 rings. Lol. Same narrative you all have been attacking in his defense with your souls all these years.

Smh.

Fanhood will make a riveting subject of research in our Ivory towers.

Interesting times.

Error repeat

A40:
Real classy of the Warriors to leave KD off their video tribute for the decade. Real classy

I get your sarcasm.

For a guy that won FMVP twice for 2 of their 3 championships and sacrificed his ankle in pursuit of the 4th, mhen that's petty of the franchise.

First off, thumbs down to him for beating you. Shame on him.

Now, to your questions for which you seek answers:

1. Like many people have said he may have bottled anger due some previous slight, grievance or disrespect.

2. He may be feeling he is not good enough for you as a result of the things that happened in the past or the 'October incidence' and so got triggered by you telling him to go and change. So a simple go and change can be interpreted as: I am not good enough for her and she is not accepting me as I am and is ashamed of me and so is asking me to go and change.

3. It may be your tone of voice or attitude or body language when you said what you said. Remember, your tone and attitude are usually unconscious and only the receiver(s) or observers can attest to its quality.

4. Lastly, it may not be you, it may be him. Perhaps he's carrying an old baggage or pain or hurt which got triggered by you. When broken people snap it's on them. If this is true, then he needs therapy to heal.

I once asked my girlfriend while we were about to go out, to change her top which had the inscription, 'I am an Assassin' and all hell was let loose and even afterwards she gave me the silent treatment for a full 1 month as a result, not including the ruined date.

Later found out it had nothing to do with me. She had a deep feeling of being not good enough and a deep fear of rejection, which had something to do with a traumatic childhood experience. My harmless request was the trigger the volcano needed to unleash its fire and lava.

The Warriors rained 3s on the Mavs!

The Warriors are not dead yet. I repeat, they are not dead yet. They are in the lab cloning Stephs and Klays. Damn!

A healthy Splash bothers and these boys will light up this league again.

That's a prophecy.

The amount of energy dispensed in being anti-anything is humongous but wasted and hurtful energy, energy that could have been used for more productive and impactful things.

It makes for great entertainment value, these negative emotions-laden debates, but to what gain?

The mind cannot differentiate between imagination and reality. Real stress biochemicals are being pumped into our systems, even as we think we are only having fun here.

Stress = Dis-ease. Sustained dis-ease= Disease.

We can all be pro-something good, pro Lebron, pro Kawhi, pro Warriors, pro Lakers, pro Clippers, pro Messi, pro Ronaldo, choose. But to be passionately anti these players or teams or anti anything is anti-health, anti-life, anti-happinness, a generation of toxic emotions we don't need.

Give no room for negative energy.

Keep it positive.

Love conquers all.

Unless you didn’t watch lakers vs bucks

Don’t allow the final result to fool you


They killed the lakers


The difference was almost 30 at one point

That game killed my spirit

I have been running away from anything nba for days

I’m better now

When we come against top teams it’s not always easy, maybe bron will do wonders come playoffs but as it stands, any honest Lakers fan shouldn’t be bragging

Why were you running now? The game gave you PTSD?

Yet, useful idiots who are currently unemployed and are struggling to eat, will be quick to defend them on NL and social media when they are called out for corruption or other misdemeanors, as if their lives depend on such inane arse licking.

Let's stop empowering and defending our oppressors.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

SmooshCHN:
That being said, I'll respect everyone equally regardless of their beliefs, sexuality and choices but I don't want it forced down my throat. Forcing it on kids is just unfair. With the way these young guys are playing, the NBA is in good hands. Well deserved.

Me too! I actually do respect and do understand them.

However, I am a solution-wired kind of person. I just feel that we/the world is not addressing the real issue and therefore the current movement is not the solution.

SmooshCHN:
I'm supposed to learn over 44 gender pronouns so I don't offend someone and maintain a safe workspace. Lmao. The bullying is what stresses me. You could lose your livelihood over one pronoun or an opinion they find offensive. Majority of the problem is psychological as Deemain said. Preferred pronouns and all that thing they love to do can't fix it.

Gbam!

SmooshCHN:
She legit raised the kid as a girl. This case is a simple one.

Yeah, I read somewhere they saw that he had zero boyish vibe growing up and so they indulged him.

VaughnSangrey:
Gender identity is different from sexuality. Sometimes people see themselves or feel differently to their physical attributes or how people perceive them. For instance, even though i was born into the body of a male hamitic human, i identify as a chinese dragon.

I have grouped all those into sexual functions-sexuality. If your hypothalamus regulates your sexual functions as female even though you are a man, you will start seeing yourself as a woman.

The question I tried to address is what could have made the hypothalamus mis-regulate? What could have engineered this gender identity crisis? Could it be related to emotional disturbances at the level of the amygdala?

Now, this is an important question because if the latter is true, embracing your gayness or becoming a transgender will still not bring you the much needed peace. You will still be emotionally disturbed or imbalanced.

Stubborn old man

What the OP wrote is true and applies to both sexes too.

Ideally, love should conquer all, no matter what. Stay with each other, no matter what. This is the ideal. God will help us keep this ideal.

But truth is, in our world today, what the OP wrote is at the heart of many troubled marriages.

20 friends cannot play together for 20 years. We see this problem affect many friendships and bonds. If one friend is growing and the other is not, things begin to unravel and many times they find out they do not have many things in common anymore and begin to see less and less of themselves.

Same applies to marriage. He may still be there for you in the marriage but if he has to come down many notches to your level in many areas of life he is likely to tire out and mentally check out, many times unwittingly and unconsciously.

The wisdom is, as the man or woman rises, let the other couple push him or herself too to remain relevant. If not, K-leg or disenchantment might enter the marriage.

Always develop yourself to match the level of your spouse, so you can have things to talk about and you can challenge each other to greater heights.

For those using GEJ and Mama Peace example, Mama Peace is relevant to GEJ in every facet. GEJ is not a politician, she is. GEJ is not bold nor courageous nor ambitious. She is all three. She is GEJ's motivation. Motivation, they say, is like taking your bath. It's something you need every day. GEJ needs Mama Peace.

Many of the women attacking the OP will look down on their husbands and deny him respect without batting an eye lead if he is not doing well financially for too long and will treat him worse so, if they are doing much better than him or carrying a larger percentage of the family burden than they are wont to.

Always develop yourself. Take responsibility for your development. Don't wait for your husband or wife. If they encourage you great, if they don't, drive yourself! No dulling.

SmooshCHN:
That's what happens when the norm is letting your kids parent themselves. The media is doing a good job too. There's nothing Wade could have done but to support his kid. It's America, if you can't encourage it, don't do or say anything against it.
I just imagined going home to tell my parents I'm Trans. LMFAO.

I do not think they are looking at the roots of the issue though. The higher suicide rates amongst transgender people should tell us that the solution to their sexuality problem may not be in changing gender.

There may be deeper mental and psycho-sexual issues at play here resulting in the brain misfiring at or around its sexual/sexuality functions.

You see, the part of the brain that regulates sexual functions(hypothalamus) is seated too close to the emotional part of the brain(amygdala). Emotional disturbances or dysfunctions can distort sexual functions-sexuality.

Without the resolution of the deeper cause of the distortion, the person will still be lost and warped mentally, no matter how we engineer the transgendering.

What do I know? I am but a lay man o.

lavylilly:
Sir, provide link to bck up your claims.

It's a shame you plagiarized this beautiful article verbatim and still had the gall to go defensive when called out by luminouz.


Shame dey catch me on your behalf.

People that want to be LeBron and carry the load of their team are breaking down one by one. Giannis next

Thumbs down!

You are taking this ish too seriously. Kam dan!

Who in the world is bledstone?

He meant Bledsoe.

crackhaus:
An educated emotion is trained to de-escalate by not provoking, NOT fanning the embers of tension on the probability that the other person is more educated emotionally to ignore.

This is why provocation is recognized by law as a suitable defense, even in cases as serious murder.

crackhaus

This debate is going round in circles.

If A fails to provide leadership B should. No need for 2 mad people. It's a recipe for chaos and dysfunction.

crackhaus:
Which is a better way in your opinion to remove the madness completely?

To eliminate the verbal abuse (cause), or to eliminate the physical abuse (outcome)?

You can't change anyone, you can only change yourself. People change when they are ready to change.

So I can only speak for the person who wants to change and has taken the responsibility to change.

Variety will absorb variety. If you have may options and ways and strategies to mitigate a difficult problem/challenge you are in control and will eventually influence the outcome but if you have only one way (violence), the problem will eat you for breakfast.

crackhaus:
This guy sef

So you already know that the provocateur (using verbal abuse) and the agitated (responding with physical abuse) are both mad people in equal degree, but for some reason, only the latter must take responsibility for their madness.

I was talking about providing leadership with an educated emotion.

Read all my posts prior on this thread.

crackhaus:
Is there human thinking involved in being verbally abusive to your own wife/husband?


Lol, I like your comments because you're strutting on both sides and making a good case for each.

So going by the bold text, for a 'human' who is verbally abusive, has that person thought of the purpose, of consequences?
Let me rephrase: When a person is being verbally abusive, what exactly is the end goal and how has that end goal guided their behavior?


Let me guess, it's ONLY your job to behave right in your home and set a good example for your kids, not your wife's job.

So what example is your wife setting when she's raising her voice at you, shouting and verbally abusing you in front of these same kids?
Do you honestly believe that if you slapped her right there, your kids did not see & understand what led to it?


This is exact message I am passing to you.
A woman who knows better will not be verbally abusive in the first place because her emotional reaction to displeasure should be intelligent and well educated enough to understand there is really no positive outcome that can come from it - it's either her husband will completely ignore her and she ends up making a shouting idiót of herself, OR she will be bítch slapped in return so her shouting can turn to crying.

Like I said, no positive outcome can come from being verbally abusive, so why would it be okay. If the idea is to maintain peace, to behave right in the home, and set a good example for your kids, then there wouldn't be verbal/emotional abuse as well as physical abuse.

No self-aware person tries to mitigate problems by dealing with outcomes, problems are mitigated by dealing with causes.

Whoever said verbal abuse is okay? I already said it can kill here!!!

Responding to verbal abuse with physical violence is equally evil.

There are two mad people involved in both.

There is a better way.

That's the summary of all I wrote prior.
