Well, the hood could be a particular area in Detroit.

Bemeruca posted a quote and didn't even understand it.

Budatuum, I didn't even realize that the term "the hood" is largely associated with American English. Again, back to understanding/experiencing culture matters

And as for you Bemeruca, not understanding where/what "the hood" is gives away your pretense that you live in the US. If you were had stepped foot in the US, and being the wanna-be white guy you pretend to be, everyone around would have warned you to stay away from "the hood" for your own safety. You'd get ganked.

bemeruca:
Well, the hood could be a particular area in Detroit.

He said "the hood" could be a particular area in Detroit.
BWahahahhahahah

Budaatum, this is the point I've been making. Bemeruca has so little understating of US culture and is so out of touch with it, he doesn't even know how patently asinine and ridiculous sounding what he wrote is. And he wouldn't know if I didn't make fun of him for it.

He tries to pretend he lives in the US, but he doesn't even know how to pretend because he doesn't understand what he has to lie about to even begin pretending.

He said "the hood" could be a particular area in Detroit.
BWahahahhahahah

budaatum:
You will call up Tesla engineer for the culture of Tesla because you haven't got the time and patience to diligently research the culture of Tesla yourself, so therefore, buda too also must call up the Tesla engineer?

Tell me how could you possibly research the culture of a place without speaking to someone who works there? Maybe you don't understand what culture is.

budaatum:
I have got you, Ijebosb, every day in my circle, at least as far as US is concerned and the facts go. And when you present facts, I often read them, and sometimes I like and share them, but this is not about facts, but about your opinion of the facts, as in your subjective view of things, and don't you think its silly to claim your subjective opinion is far superior because you live in a place?

Have I ever claimed that? I claim your opinion is lacking a cultural perspective. You don't understand the things you don't understand.

budaatum:
Just listen to yourself. Boasting about your boys without seeing how you've gone from bothering to visit to just asking your boys.

Bothering to visit? Lol. That's an emotional response right there. Will be in Naij 3 times this year not including last years Xmas trip.

budaatum:
No matter how many boys you may have, how the fuq can they possibly explain the culture of anywhere to you without including their own biases and ignorance in what they tell you? Or don't you mind?

Ding Ding Ding. So, you do get it. But you're spinning so rapidly you don't even understand what you are saying. If my boys include their own bias and ignorance, how can you understand US culture just by reading books with their own biases and ignorances attached? Ding Ding Ding.

As to my boys, I've been in Naij enough to understand what biases could be in play and who to ask for what based on their bias. And even then, I get a couple of perspectives from differing people who I know may have divergent views/biases.

budaatum:
Still, good for you. I will not call any boys to tell me the culture of anywhere, Ijebosb, even if they live there, because my boys don't have the time, and I have the ability to research myself from many sides and angles over many centuries they can't possibly tell me about.

If your boys don't have time for you, get new boys. One of my closest friends in Naij is a CEO of a top company in a top sector. If I reach out to him I'll get a response in a couple of hours at the latest.

bemeruca:
Well, the hood could be a particular area in Detroit.

Bwahahhahahahah. I'm dead.
Tell me you've never stepped foot in the US, without telling me you never stepped foot in the US.
Bwahahahhahah. I'm dead.

budaatum:
Dude. It must be very difficult for you to accept that there are people who have lived all their lives in Nigeria who don't even know Nigeria has cultures not to speak of understand what those cultures are and how they interact and affect each other. In fact, I'm rather surprised that despite your "spend a good amount of time in Nigeria", you don't seem to know it is Nigerian culture for some dumb fuq who knows very little to stand in your face and say you know fuq.

Perhaps your "spend a good amount of time in Nigeria" taught you little I guess.



Me, I don't "call my boys there". I get off my ass and do my research with the sweat off my own brow is what I do. There's books afterall, and though much less these days, they have been my daily bread, still its far more than most get from living there not to talk of just visit I'd have thought, especially since one can't exactly visit or send ones boys to the Estates General of 1789 or the Battle of Tours/Poitiers to find out for one. Or does one not need to learn such knowledge to understand French culture, I wonder.

Its the buda ego you see. First, it arrogantly doesn't trust that boys would do the work to make sure their eyes work like buda's do. And boys got better things to do than just feed buda their own understanding of anything not to talk of a culture of an entire nation. That, Ijebos, is buda's egotistically self chosen truism. And we are discussing it because you'd rather buda accept your truism which buda obviously doesn't because it is flawed logic, and is like a professor in Harvard arguing their understanding is superior "because my tenure is longer".

"Call your boys", lol!

As I said it's ur ego not allowing you to believe that you aren't the end all and be all of knowledge. I crossed that bridge a while ago. You seem to be stuck on it.

But back to you what you wrote. I didn't want to say this as I was sparing your ego, but it is a uniquely Nigerian thing for people who know little of a topic to try to lecture others who know more, on it. It's always embarrassing and cringeworthy when it I see it. It's frustrating and exhausting and it's what you do here sometimes.

Now, my goal in life is to get as complete information as quickly as possible. And of course the goal is finding the right source. Now if I wanted to understand how a Tesla engine works I could spend hours/days googling it, or I could call up a head Tesla engineer for information. Which would be preferable? Now "my boys" are the equivalent of a head Tesla engineer in Nigeria. If I need anything, I can connect to someone "in the actual know". Ex. I used to run alot. In the US I could get get away with running at a certain time even in the summer. Tried it in Naij one day and almost died. Now I could have spent time researching the best time to run in Lagos heat or I could call up my boy who lives in Lagos, started a running club in Lagos and flies around the world competing in marathons, and ask what time he runs. All in under 1 minute. Which is a more preferable path?

So, I guess it boils down to 1.) ego, can you acknowledge that you aren't the end all and be all of information. And 2.) do you have a circle such that you can reach out to people and get proper information/perspective. And as you've noticed I'm a pretty sure of myself, so when I say "my boys", I'm talking about very legit people.

But, I'm cracking up here that you said "call your boys" in quotes. If you only knew. If you had my boys, you'd want to call them too. Lol.

But odd this is even a discussion.

The leaders of the black church thanked trump for doing what Obama did not do

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPLm9jK_tPw

This is the Pastor in question.
It seems everyone around Trump is a grifter.

Seems to be the type of people you relate most to. Liars and Grifters.
Btw, how is the Canadian asylum paper work moving along?
Still lying to Jayedna and telling her you're in Seattle?

This must have delighted the xenophobic blackman hater ben

Lol. Can you imagine. Lol

Imagine importing white people into a church and calling it a Black Church.
Imagine saying Trump is the first President who visited the Hood.
The fuxing nuttery of it all when we had a Black man as President.

It pisses me off they think black people are that stupid. There is a level of disrespect here given the importance Black churches played in the civil rights movement.

It's also the Media's fault. Trump propagandizes and lies. They have to do a better job with the headlines.
Trump got what he wanted from this, people thinking he went to a "Black Church" thanks to the media.

[quote author=bemeruca post=130504613]PDPGuy, raumdeuter and budaatum what do you guy think about this comment from a black church in detroit.

— George (@BehizyTweets) June 15, 2024

is the type of propaganda only certain groups would beleive.
1.) White people who have never been in a "black church".
2.) People who don't read past headlines.
3.) Black people who don't live in the US and don't read past headlines.

It's obvious which one Bemeruca is.
Black churches generally are predominately black and I mean 90%+ black with some exceptions.

Pictures from the "Black Church" event. This is not "Black Church".

I think the problem with what is going on in Israel, is that some people find it easier to just call people "terror lovers" and "antisemites" for asking questions everyone should be asking. For some it's strategic, for others like raumdeuter, it's immaturity in how they think which leads to a inability to process these deeper thoughts.

Here is Israel's former chief spy Tami Pardo, clearly not a Hamas lover or antisemite saying the same things I've been saying for a while now.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/arrogance-bullshit-top-insiders-netanyahu-025646703.html

Fifty miles up the coast from Gaza, where an Israeli offensive continues to shatter the besieged strip, Israel’s former chief spy Tamir Pardo is a world away from the war without end, in his office in Israel’s tech hub in the manicured city of Herzliya. From 2011 to 2016 Pardo was the director of Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, Mossad. He says the seeds that led to this moment of dread were sown over the previous two decades.

At 71 years old, Pardo feels the country is less secure and—unable to make tough choices about its future or willing to address its most pressing problem —has less vision than when he joined Mossad in 1980. He believes Israel’s future depends on addressing the question of Palestinian rights—a question that was rarely asked and was left unanswered in the calm before the war.

“Should we take from this that we need to change reality,” he asks, believing that continuing to deny Palestinians their basic rights will only lead to more bloodshed. “Or should we learn from this that [we’ve] shown too little force and [we] should crush them with greater might, so that they’ll be even more afraid of us?”

Pardo spent his career clandestinely and ruthlessly targeting those deemed a threat to Israel, but from that fight, he learned a lesson that eludes most Israelis. Force alone cannot protect it. “You’ll never be able to quash the aspiration for liberty,” he says.

budaatum:
Why are you explaining to me what a "'Basilico' was in the singular" to explain my view of "Basilico in the plural"?

If I am not afraid of plural Basilcos, would I be afraid of a single one of them?

Perhaps you'd let me define plural maga basilicos since it is a word I made up and used, instead of you defining my word for me.

I am telling you that when I, buda, say Maga Basilicos, I, buda, mean, everyone, including the grifter and their leaders and the 6-3 and the pope and God and everyone else who wants to my body their choice.

And I am also telling you that I have no reason to be scared of any of them because I got very strong hard working persevering dedicated you and all the other ijebosbs fiercely fighting on mine and other womens' behalf and I have immense faith and confidence in your success.

Please don't make me have to tell you the meaning of the ijebosbs. I beg you.

And consider bra burning kind of fighting on my behalf.

You're not pulling this bullshit gaslighting on me.

This is what you wrote:

budaatum:
Just look who's on the other side. Do you seriously think the maga Basilicos are going to beat you and win this war even if they win a battle here and there?

You referenced 'maga Basilcos'. Basilico is a grunt. An uneducated grunt. Magas are the grunts. The smart people, pulling the strings, don't believe the propaganda. It's a means to an end. They just use people like the 'mega Basilicos' to get whatever policy they want. And the grifters reinforce the message to make money. They survive by enraging uneducated easily manipulated people.

You keep going on, but it's clear you don't even understand the Maga movement. The leaders, don't believe the propaganda the grunts do. They are people who went to Harvard, Yale, run banks etc, Private Equity (ex. Peter Thiel). People like Leonard Leo , Ted Cruz, etc etc. All the far right stations you're watching have you actually believing there is some truth in whatever nonsense they are peddling.

I am telling you I am concerned. I see a concerted at the effort to dismantle the structures of the US. Structures such as Media, Government, and now the Courts. I am telling you that people who fight these battles are concerned. So, yes, I do think that the people pushing these ideologies can win, are capable of winning, because they have the "Maga Basilicos" as their foot soldiers; the very loud and very vocal minority.

budaatum:
You who does not have a blindspot clearly failed to see that I specifically wrote plural maga Basilicos, meaning everyone, including the grifter and their leaders and the 6-3 and the pope and God and everyone else who wants to my body their choice.

Or do you seriously believe one should be considering being scared of our one pointless waste of time and space basilico that we have on here?

Please try to consider what you read instead of ascribing what you think you read on to others, especially when reading buda who's ego is so massive that she tries to make every letter count.

Yes, you spoke about the plural Basilico's and I explained to you who a 'Basilico' was in the singular to explain why your view of "Basilico in the plural" not being fearful was the wrong way to look at it. A "Maga Basilico" does not include the grifters and/or the policy chiefs as Basilico is neither. Again, Basilico as an example would be someone who is repeatedly fooled by propaganda, repeats said propaganda uncritically, and dedicates his life to such propaganda.

I perfectly ascribed to you what you wrote. If you meant something different you should have said so. If you want to adjust what you wrote, you can say that now. What you can't do is pretend someone doesn't understand the very words you wrote.

Stop this stuff. It's ok to be wrong or mistaken.

budaatum:
Just look who's on the other side. Do you seriously think the maga Basilicos are going to beat you and win this war even if they win a battle here and there?

There is nothing for me to fear because I got very strong hard working persevering dedicated you fiercely fighting on mine and other womens' behalf and I have immense faith and confidence in your success.

I think you've missed the point. You see Basilico as some leader. He's not. He's playing the role assigned to him. The easily manipulated, poorly educated foot soldier. He's loud, focused, indoctrinated and determined. Look at his repeated posts of right wing nuttery media and how misinformed he generally is. He's the same type of person who attacked the Capitol for Donald Trump. The movement is separated into the gifters, the marks/suckers and those who pay the grifters to accomplish policy goals. Basilico is the Mark/Sucker. But, those who pay the grifters to accomplish policy goals, I assure you are smart. Look at the 6-3 makeup of the Supreme court and the rash of decisions (things that couldn't be possibly accomplished by legislation).

You have a blindspot here. I think a large part is you ascribing your UK perspective to the US.

basilico:
So wot you say about this.
Joe Biden biographer transcript heavily redacted was released ....
Joe Biden told him he was reading out documents with classified markings.
Joe Biden took him to his garage where classified docs were haphazardly stored..

The biographer deleted audio recordings of his interview with JB, but provided Robert with verbatim transcripts. He deleted after knowing special counsel was appointed.

Joe Biden is unfit mentally to Robert Hurr thus he cannot be indicted.

Trump valet was indicted for talking about deleting CCTV footage. JB biographer is walking free.

I thought you despised me. Yet, here you trying to get me to engage in your nonsense, as usual.
I know arguing with someone you feel is superior to you makes you feel better about yourself, but what's the benefit to me? To me it's just abusing a mentally ill clown.

budaatum:
"Not being scared" does not mean "Nothing to worry about".

If you've been following my posts here and have understood them, which you obviously don't, you'd know I am worried about my body being someone else's choice, but I'm not scared precisely because of you.

You see, even if they manage to ban abortions, I know you will never ever give up the fight to overturn their stupid ban. So, perhaps see my not being scared as faith in you who will definitely persevere just as much as you persevere on here until my body my choice is reinstated, especially when their stupid ban results in the death of pregnant women which will fuel you to fight them even harder.

If you want me to be scared though, you and all your sort should just roll over and say "my body, their choice". Though, the way the entire world is swinging, I doubt I'd have much difficulty finding replacements for determined fighters like you who'd restore my body my choice.

So, please live. Your living makes me unscared.

You sure got the pulse of this abortion debate all the way from the UK. Good job. Women can rest easy now as you say there is nothing to fear.

Go have a meeting with yourself. Everyone here despises you.

Lol. You should probably take your own advice.
You despise me? "oh joyous day callooh callay he chortled in his joy".

budaatum:
I am not scared. I don't see how they'd find anyone with any standing over my body my choice. Besides, I have Biden fighting on my behalf, and I'm here with my massive immensely big huge ego fighting to get him reelected so he keeps fighting on my behalf.

And even if he loses, the Republicans promoting "my body their choice" can not rule forever. So there.

It seems you don't understand "standing". Should google it first before commenting on it.
Not sure why you are invested in pretending that everything is hunky dory.
He says Republicans can't rule forever. And what happens to all the woman who die while they are not ruling forever?
Your denialism is off the chart.

Here is a story of a woman who had to leave Texas for an abortion because one of her twins would die and most likely kill the other twin. Texas doesn't allow abortions.
Fortunately she had the ability to leave the state. Not everyone does/can.
And some Texas counties are making it illegal to use their roads to leave the state to have an abortion.
But, nothing to worry about..

budaatum:
The supreme court that I am supposed to be scared of has ruled I can my body my choice with mifepristone.

You may be scared if you understood the ruling. But, easier to try to be smart with your "I am supposed to scared of" than actually doing the research to understand it. Right?

The court just ruled that the Plaintiffs had no standing to bring the suit. (Maybe so it wouldn't be an election issue)
The fact it got this far should trouble anyone who understands the cae.
The fact that there was no actual ruling on the merits should trouble everyone as well. As it just means they will find someone with standing probably after the election to bring the case back.

budaatum:
I have a great idea for you. If buda does not desist from going down whatever path buda chooses to go down despite your threats, just stop buying buda the data with which buda goes down the path that buda chooses to go down. Then, buda wouldn't be able to post on Nairaland. And voila! You'd have achieved your goal of controlling buda.

No need to control you, just think you should have consistent values and have self respect.
If you think insulting/talking about people isn't mature, you shouldn't be doing it, right?
Also, you have a need to be liked even with people who trash you. It's nauseating behavior for anyone, esp. a man.

Look at you and Bemeruca. The guy literally posted your Facebook page and makes fun of your head/image. And here you are chuckling with him. It's weak and depressingly sad.

And this 3rd person stuff. Give it a rest. It's weird. I'm sure you've heard that before.

budaatum:
Damn! I got to borrow that, thanks.

buda has named it Spreadsheeting in advance.

For sure..

Budaatum: Buda says thanks, Buda wants to borrow that.
Me: You're welcome Budatuum.

Budatuum. You don't want to continue down this path. You already know how I treat people who I think are trying to get at me.
Funny, you seem to have forgotten everything you were so intent on preaching.
As I said, your values seem quite temporal. lol

budaatum:
I've been expecting one for days. I've even named it Spreadsheeting in advance.

Buda says Buda named it "Spreadsheeting in advance". Lol.
See how nutty that sounds?

bemeruca:
Budaatum posts is only better when he agrees with you.

Try to keep up, I know it's hard.

Budaatum's posts are better because they are generally more reasoned, more informative and they bring perspective that I may not have had and lend the believe that he's researched them or thought through them. I don't always agree. But he at times makes illogical arguments to win. The opposite of reasoned. THis is what he is doing now. You can tell because he went from calling me racist, to then countryist, while using countryist wrong.

Your posts on the other hand are trash. Not reasoned, not informative, not thought out. As if you turned your mind off and just regurgitated nonsense someone filled your ear with.

Hope that brings some clarity to you.

bemeruca:
Try not to project.
Anyone you disagree with now is a hurt and emotional person. You move from me to raumdeuter now budaatum. As for me, I have seen everything on this forum so I am at rest. My trolling of you or anyone is at 2%.

Again, you are not entitled to be respected on this forum. Just accept that fact.

Budaatum refuses to share the same irrational fear of Republicans as you, he refused to buy into many of your baseless claims that the sky is falling when we know it is the opposite, that is okay, just agree to disagree. I know for sure that budaatum is inconsistent with this "the sky is falling" delusion. But I digress.
No one is emotional here except you accusing others. I have asked you to leave this and just agree to disagree but you refused.

Trust me, budaatum will occasionally take shots at you and troll you to rile you up. You are new to this forum and there is a reason why I call him snake, because he trickishly eats his own. He is not Wrong to do that. If you can't handle it, leave it.

I believe if PrideofLincoln1 was not arrested, you and him would have gone into a nigger moment here in the Fruited Plains. That guy is stubborn and irrationally identical with you.

Most of what you, Basilico and Raum post is nonsensical tripe based on propaganda and emotions. It's clear you all had 3rd tier educations. You'd be schooled and made to look the bumbling fools you are in any circle I'm in. I guess it's easier when not so bright people like you three congregate together. You guys make each other feel smarter.

Buda's posts are better as it seems he either reads more, is smarter or is better educated. But he's been making illogical arguments about this experience thing. And you can tell emotional arguments because they are illogical. And these emotional/illogical argument he's been making the last few days is because he can't emotionally accept the fact that you need experience on something to talk authentically about it. And to cap it off, he's using words such as countryist, he doesn't even understand the meaning of because he's so emotional. All he has to say, is you're right, I don't live in the US, so, I may not fully understand the culture. That would be it. But, he can't bring him to say something so logical and true. Because he has to be right.

As to you. You're a lost cause. A degenerate. You literally spend your life here. In fact, you started lying about living in the US because I said you don't live in the US. That's not hurt and emotional? And to act like you just like to troll is BS as you've reported me and had me banned every time I called you an IDIOT. Every time. That seems like an emotional response to being insecure about your lack of intellect, No? When I have long been gone from here, you will still be here lying about living in the US. You're a purebred NUT.

It's no surprise this thread is as trash as it is. People seem to like hearing themselves talk and so they repeat mis/disinformation they hear on right wing propaganda. And they like to talk around Americans as if that makes them superior to "other Nigerians". Why else devote so much time to a US thread, when the country you live in could use your support? What is the value of a thread if all it does is propagate misinformation? Well I guess people like you can't tell the difference.

I don't care what you think of me. I came here to learn and discuss my ideas. Which is hard because this place is filled with bottom dwelling people like you and Basilico. So, if you think I'm an elitist jerk, don't give a fux. The strength of my argument is all that matters and you haven't been able to touch them. To that matter, what have you ever been right about? No wonder you've turned yourself into a Troll, I guess that's better than admitting you're not smart enough to engage in proper arguments.

Lol.

budaatum:
I am very delighted it is not lost on you that you are countryist.

From Racist to Countryist. Do you even know what a countryist is? Lol. Clearly you don't.

budaatum:
Anyone who's watched those channels knows your "get out of my country" is more likely to come from them.

Interpreting, "you have to live somewhere to be able to understand it" to "get out of my country" is a nice logical leap. The same kind of thing Fox and co. are known for.
Of course. Saying things over and over without any basis in fact of course makes it true. Yeah, that was sarcasm. The more you type the more you sound like Bemeruca. I guess hurt/emotional people all sound the same.

As I said, I think it's clear you don't have any real convictions. You waffle when it's convenient to win arguments.
Imagine, you've tried to call me a racist, now a countryist (though you don't seem to know what that means), next I'll be a sexist because I stated something obvious.

budaatum:
Its a good thing you are not white. If you were white you'd be telling us black folks to get out of your United States of America.

You must have forgotten, you're not in the US. So, even if I were white, I wouldn't be able to say that to you, would I?

But this is a weird comment. The type of comment I'd expect from Fox and Oann. The type of comment that gives me a headache because it's filled more with grievance than logic. I think you've been watching those right wing echo chambers too often.

Fyi, if you were in the US, you'd have a connection to the US, to be invested in it, right? If so, why would I care?
But it does sound like something Raum would say and has says when I disagree with him. Maybe you can direct this comment to him instead.

And it's not lost on me that you went to the extent of calling me a racist through some round about perverted logic.

basilico:
What is misinformation. I post for posterity. Misinfo and disinfo are two terms that became widespread in the wake of the pandemic. You are an echo chamber, a useful idiot out with a club to silence any view opposite to your utopian thinking
I have no interest in the US, but your tax dollars does fund a good part of my lifestyle.
I hope USAID will find our solar proposal across west and northern Africa. More cash for my side business

"I have no interest in the US", says the guy who spends 99% of his time on this forum in this US thread.
The last guy, from this thread (Bemeruca), who said the same thing, pretended he moved to the US and still pretends he lives here. lol.

Everyone in this thread who dedicates their lives to a country they don't live, should get a psych eval IMHO.

The total amount of data on the internet is estimated to be around 44 zettabytes. And a zettabyte is 2 to the 70th power bytes, which is equal to a thousand exabytes, a billion terabytes or a trillion gigabytes.

Its not my field, and nor have I lived in the United States of the Internet, but from the above, you'd need a hefty storage in that laptop or have it connected to a data storage bank center, which would require a lot more than a laptop to run.

But, coming from you Bas, I'd need to check if Ijebos said what you are claiming Ijebos said, same way I'd check if the blue sky you say is blue is not really red.

So you do get seem to get it. Except outside of topics regarding the US where you feel you can gain that knowledge just by blinking ur eyes three times.

But your insecurity in all this is amusing. Like a child lashing out because he was told he was a child. Maybe you can dedicate another 10 posts to lashing out because I told you an immutable truth.

bemeruca:
So buda can learn or experience jury process through other means. He does not have to be in the US. Also, we should not conflate experience with knowledge. Many people for millenias experience gravity but they have no clue of what it is.

I am only telling you experience can come without being in the US. Budaatum might have gone to a class where they enacted the American court and jury system.

I always left room for expertise based on intense study or knowledge. I give Budaatum that benefit of the doubt for the most part as he seems he does read, but once in a while he wades into areas he has no objective experience or expertise in, and doesn't acknowledge when that happens.

You and Basilico on the other hand don't read or study anything and are intellectually lazy so I think much of what you post is Bullshit.

budaatum:
You must have serious issues with buda's ego. Perhaps you should concern yourself with your own ego instead of the ego of buda. After all, you have not lived in buda's ego, so how the heck can you claim to know anything about buda's ego, going by your own logic?

Maybe because you keep saying things like "buda's ego". I have a healthy ego which allows for the fact that I am not omniscient so there are things I don't know I don't know.

I repeat, I do not think you most likely did jury service. You said you did jury service, and I believe you did jury service and I have no reason to assume you are lying about doing jury service.

Again, It's a silly notion for anyone who lives in the US to believe someone would lie about that. People believe, only idiots don't get out of jury service. There is a financial cost as you have to be away from work for those days. If you are salaried you have to be paid, but if you work for yourself, it's a cost. They give you a $50 day stipend. My company pays me regardless. Most aren't willing to bear it. My neighbor did Grand Jury service I think it was for 1 or 2 months. He's retired though and wanted to get out of the house. How many people could do that? Could afford that if the work for themselves?

It's the same way you said you went to Harvard and I believe you did go to Harvard because I don't think you'd come here and lie to us about going to Harvard.

I don't care either way. I'm not one of those people who leads with it as most of my friends don't either. And I didn't lead with it here either. Your believe on that has 0 impact on my life.

Budaatum got exposed through the internet, books and other means.

Some people do learn new languages through their keyboard and monitor. In Nigeria, there are French classes one can take. They don't have to go to France to experience French or know French.

What the Bleep does this even mean? Is French only spoken in France? Wtf? Are you ok?
They experienced the French language to learn the French language. Period!
Speaking French does not mean you know anything about French culture.
To go further, speaking French you learned on the computer does not mean you understand the cultural context in which to use certain words.
How do I know.? I studied French in highshcool and my class did a trip to France, becasue the teacher thought it was important to do so . to 1.) have to be forced to speak it to get a better handle on it and 2.( to know how to effectively use the language. And she was right.
I am convinced you don't understand the meaning of the words you use and you were also repeatedly dropped on your head as a child..
You idjit.

Going by your logic, you have to fully be basilico to fully understand he doesn't understand how the jury system works.

I have seen white men speaking my dialect, they were not even born in Nigeria but I can't speak or understand my dialect.

People can know or understand things without experiencing it.

The white men speaking your dialect were exposed to your dialect, Hence they experienced your dialect. Or did you think they woke up one day and just started speaking ur dialect. God, you're idjit.

See Budaatum, this is the anti-intellectual Bullshit you are promoting with your emotional based screeds to make yourself feel better for not living in the US, yet assuming you know everything about it.
Well done.

budaatum:
Are you sure you can read and understand at all?

Where did I try to call you a liar?

Was I lying myself when I said I too have done jury service 3 times, or is comprehension a problem for you?

You do know that it Is citizens who do jury service in UK right, or must you live in UK to know that?

Ijebos, please know that I am now most definitely questioning your judgement and your ability to understand what you read!

I don't give a shit what you question. Who are you to be questioning me? Let's keep it 100.

The problem is that you have an emotional attachment to this argument. You don't live in the US, have never been to the US so you have to rationalize why you feel you have expert judgement on all things the US when all of Human hostory tells us to fully understand something you have to fully experience it.

Now to Basilico. To preface this, Basilico doesn't live in the Us, lives in a country that doesn't use a jury system, doesn't really research and is prone to pulling ish out of his ass.

So, when I say he doesn't understand US jury systems because he doesn't live in the US, it is based on my knowledge of Basilco such as the things I mentioned above. Yes, I use my brains to decipher people based on past interactions with them. Whereas in the US, every Tom, Dick and HArry, understands Jury duty.

So, let's move onto your argument that you live in a place that has a jury system and so would explain why you may understand that I most likely served. That argument actually makes my point. You can understand it because you have a cultural reference of being called 3 times. Or you have experienced it. It also makes my point, again, why Basilico having no cultural reference to Jury Duty would think it is odd someone has sat on a jury 2x.

Let me go further even though you may have a cultural reference to jury systems, you still don't have a cultural reference to Us jury systems and the culture that surrounds them. So, your understanding of Uk jury systems will only take you so far in reference to US Jury systems. Unless you believe you are omniscient of course. As I said, it's an ego thing.

Imagine the ego on you to think you know everything about a place you've never been. I guess it's that same ego that allows you to refer to yourself in the 3rd person.
