Is it possible these buildings were from before the flood in the Bible
Ourtruth247: Because all the evidence I've gathered points to that conclusion.
Yes, Europeans have been in America since the 1600s, but official settlement and building of most cities started in the late 1700s and extended into the 1800s. Most of the architecture I post were said to have been built around the 1800s.
Photographs of places like San francisco show a massive city littered with huge architecture at a time when the population was very little.
The generation that the history books tell us built those structures were a generation of horse and cart. A generation that didn't have access to power tools and advanced forms of load carriage. Some of the structures were built from single blocks of limestone, cut, sliced and carved to absolute precision.
How did they move huge blocks of stone with horse and cart? How did they cut the stone to absolute geometric precision using just chisel and hammer? It's literally impossible. I watched a video where loads of blocks were placed on a horse and cart. The cart didn't even move 200 metres before the tires tore off of it and it collapsed.
Additionally in these 1800s American architecture you see see Roman style architecture with carvings and styles that pay homage to Greek and Roman gods. I mean the settlers that supposedly built these structures were Christians. You'd expect them to pay homage to Jesus and Mary instead of Hermis.
Also when you look at pictures of these 1800s architecture you can see weathering on the body, as if they have been around for hundreds of years before the dates the history books give us of their creation.
In the pictures I posted on this thread you can see muddy streets surrounded by huge, grand architecture. You'd expect people who built those sophisticated architecture to be able to at least have paved their roads.
The evidence is staggering and I can go on and on.
You must be intentional about replacing bad habits with good habits.
Choose good habits that are sustainable and payoff over time.
Exercise Read books Learn social dancing skills like salsa Find something to do that helps you meet higher quality people.
All the best.
ChildOfDoom: Some times I just reminisce the times I was a chronic virtual patronizer and I grin with nostalgia. How many times have I nearly met my downfall and bet9ja virtual bailed me out. (Though the new face of the game is no longer enticing as before).
I remember when my rent was overdue, just when my landlady's call came in, I made over 80k from bet to settle her.
Another time I was asked to withdraw 100k in 100 naira denomination for my client and I lost it down to 30k. The client was calling incessantly and as destiny will have it, I won over 120k before I left the place.
Though my losing tales are more than the gains though. Some made me flee my former location as it would have taken my life or made me incarcerated.
Now I have taken up a new addiction - of docking Olosho. Will I say I am exhilarated as I have taken a better addiction?
Two days ago, my salary came in. Now, it's just 18000 left, with 30 days to go. How do I explain this. Drinks, flexing and mostly women have taken 80 percent of the pay.
I would have concluded I should go back to betting and stop womanising to compare. But I can't. Deep down within me I know I will end up doing both (which will be disastrous).
It’s a part of growing up. Since the reactions seem to be directed at your wife, that tells you she’s probably longing for her own mother.
I might be wrong.
Anyway, a change of environment and realities would certainly help. Just choose the new environment wisely.
Mrperfecto: I will just be brief without writing too much.
We are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible, she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home.
She comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet.
I am on my way to work. I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys. We had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse. She is behaving like she's possessed.
My wife and I are fed up. Even her siblings are tired of her. We want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones. If we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities.
Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue?

Christianoir: It is weird, I don’t talk with my neighbour, we only greet nd hail each other that where it end, but I haven’t really have any meaningful conversation with them before and it bother me sometimes tho.. I’m mostly an introvert nd the shy type. Is something wrong with me, sometimes I want to speak to them, but me speaking to them will mean being friendly, which I’m avoiding, ever since I rented this compound I’ve avoided trouble. Nd I’m someone who cares about what people say or care about the opinion of others, things get to me easily tho
Do they see me as a proud/arrogant person. I’m I weird. Is there people out there like me who have neighbors like me.
Gistmedia10: Adeola Diiadem, a businesswoman, made a heartfelt video on her phone to address rumors about her having an affair with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. In the emotional video, she was seen crying as she strongly denied the allegations and swore she was innocent.
"I want to talk about the rumors that have been spreading," Diiadem started, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I want to make it clear that I am not guilty. I have never had a relationship with Governor Sanwo-Olu or anyone else."
Her voice shaking, she continued, "These rumors have hurt me deeply. I have worked hard on my businesses and helping my community. It's really sad to see my name dragged through the mud with lies."
In the video, Diiadem raised her hand, taking an oath. "I swear to God, I swear on everything important to me, that these rumors are false. I would never go against my values or my honesty," she said firmly, her emotions clear.
onez: This is a warning to all true lovers of Nigeria. This is not for those that cheered the disastrous years of Buhari (They are the enemies of this country). All hands must be on deck to save this country from collapse. In my previous thread, I warned that human being will eat grass if nothing is done. Things are already escalating dangerously. This is another warning. This country should not divide. Tinubu is a clear and present danger to the unity and continue existence of this country.
Probably a lack of ideas. Someone has todo it first, the others follow
Reflect7: In the days when there was starvation and malnutrition in the Victorian and Edwardian era of England, in the days of Oliver Twist and Charles Dickens, the rich would establish what were called 'Soup Kitchens' where the poor would queue up and be served plates of light soup served with bread.
If I was Dangote, Otedola, and all these guys, I would do just that.
Just establish some joints and ensure that people queue orderly for their turn.
Even rich folks that are not as rich as Dangote and co can still come together and contribute to establish a Soup Kitchen.
Choosing a wife is Is a life or death decision. Choose wisely.
Heed the warning:
Proverbs 27:15-16 The Message (MSG) ... A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet; You can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it.
Proverbs 21:9 — 'Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.'
Proverbs 21:19 — ‘Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.’
A good wife:
Prob 31:10 10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
Proverbs 31:11-12 (NIV) “Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
1 Timothy 3:11 (NIV) “In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything."
