You have black people in Africa who consider themselves to be . . . white and anything but black even though they are darker
true.


strange how some black africans do consider themselves white.

why is the information important to you?

you already gave your family history, what do you want to do with other people's own?

yes, he needs validation and reassurance about his looks.

why not use a mirror though? huh
FamilyRe: Women, Beware Of The Voice Of The Serpent by itstpia1: 6:13am On Aug 27, 2014
you are getting it wrong.

God created eve out of one rib, he didnt take another rib and create another woman because doing so would probably mean the end of adam.


little thing called finite resources.

He took one rib and closed up the place with flesh, taking another rib would mean yet more constructive surgery which would probably weaken adam severely if not finish him outright. Back to square one and the waiting serpent plus a woman with a weakened man.



however, if what you mean is women encouraging men to directly sin against God, then that is wrong. A woman encouraging a man to commit crimes is also wrong.
Christianity EtcRe: Christian Relationships & Signs by itstpia1: 6:08am On Aug 27, 2014
yes, your questions do sound too spiritual although they need to be asked.

you should include other non- religious enquiries such as favorites book/s, game, music, etc, life experiences outside religion, etc. Which sites are they on, do they play video games, what type, etc.


someone answering all your questions by rote to your satisfaction, doesnt necessarily mean they are spiritual in the way you want them to be.
CultureRe: Racism, The Rational & Logical Response To Black Behavior (philosophical Debate) by itstpia1: 5:57am On Aug 27, 2014
pleep: The GDP of black America is almost 2.2 trillion, which is equal to or greater then most countries in the EU. Based on this alone African Americans should be a global force with power on the world stage. But how does a 2.2 trillion end up equating to 6,446 median wealth? Utter stupidity of indescribable magnitude.. the most shocking indictment of black peoples depravity and materialism. Spending and debt is why black people don't have money, we spend more on consumer goods then some of the richest nations on earth.

In light of the fact that black peoples poverty in America is of our own doing, none of your points (except 3 ) give a compelling argument against racism.

3. Unemployment is a factor, but i would argue that black peoples behavior and reputation is largely responsible for that as well. The majority of people that ask for job applications where i work are black, but most of them are never highered. This is probably due to the behavior of black customers creating a bad image for black applicants. Its justified. i've even seen a black teen ask for an application, then a water, and then fill that water cup with soda in full view of everyone. I threw his app in the trash myself.
i wonder where you got your hardcore racism form.

were you taught it by your parents?

TribalEAST: he loved his wife beyond reasoninghv[b]he loved his wife beyond reasoninghv[/b]he loved his wife beyond reasoning; he should have considered God's commandment which would have kept him away from the sin. Men of today make thesame mistake. They tend to succumb to their wife's weak desires which are sometimes geared by feminism, and assume a marriage of equality where her WRONG decisions count cos he can't contradict her just cos he's lost his position as head. Adam succumbed to eve's decision and landed in disaster.
the buck stopped with adam dear.

he was fully responsible for his actions.

i agree it is wrong to follow a multitude to sin, however, during judgement, everybody will be held accountable for their own crimes.

jesuslovesme123: You have deviated from the OP's point. Fine, $ 2 cups may not be the rational response, but because this is not a discussion about business sense, it is irrelevant as far as this thread is concerned.

The more worrisome point, which you have avoided, is that 90% of soda thieves in that store are black. Why must blacks constantly give people reasons to mistrust / despise them?
you engage in constant generalization, typical of low iq people.

why dont you give the thread a rest unless you are expressly here to help the op do his job of denigrating blacks?


and see your prior thread:

did it occur to you to ask the op if he's in a majorly black neighbourhood, instead of asking me a very d.aft question?

stop responding to my posts plz.

He's looking at her so strangely.

If adam knew all that then why would he eat the fruit.

Seems more like he simply wanted a taste just like the wife.

She couldn't force him to eat it nah.
CultureRe: How Are Your Older Folks Responding To New Technology? by itstpia1: 8:14pm On Aug 26, 2014
New technology is mostly designed for the younger folks, not older ones.

I've seen a few which were specifically for older people, however they arent many since the purchasing power when it comes to new technology, is a younger demographic.

So, in short, it might not be as profitable a margin to go after the older citizenry.
FamilyRe: Women, Beware Of The Voice Of The Serpent by itstpia1: 7:56pm On Aug 26, 2014
I'd say adam had also been wondering about the fruit else he wouldn't have eaten it.

It depends.

There are people who are no longer here but who you remember as if they still are ( my grandpa for example), while others are not really on your mind all the time like that.

It depends on the type of bond or relationship you had with the person.

Men in particular, are more prone and that's how they never understand why the feeling vanishes after a while.
RomanceRe: Male Or Female Friends, Who Do U Have More? by itstpia1: 7:41pm On Aug 26, 2014
Sisikill: I grew up with four brothers, who have friends, who also have friends, so at one time or the other in my life, I have at least 6 guys around me, so I know how or at least I think I know how they think so or what makes them tick and how to deal with them. Some people. . .girls (the very few I have) have told me this is a bad thing because having male friends changes your whole perspective on how the male-female relationship is conducted. . .they might be right but I have never gotten a midnight call from any of my friends weeping hysterical like the world is about to end because they just found their girlfriend cheating on them nor do I have to play nurse maid to a broken heart eventhough everybody around knew that relationship would not last. I have never had friends, who after introducing me to their new love decide to avoid me. . .until the relationship pafukas or just entirely stop talking because (and i swear on my grandmother's grave these are not my words)they know once their new love meet me, they will be history (Insecure Bitches) nor do I have to deal with friends going behind my back and saying "That lagbaja ehn,  you don't know who she really is" and when you confront them they tell right into your face "Lagbaja me? say that about you. . .A l l a h kiaye" Snaps fingers over their heads 3 times and spit

. . . .Wait what the question again oh right which do you have more of Male or Female friends? Without a doubt. . . .MALE!!!!! They don't hold grudges over an imagined slight, They have my back any day any time and the most I've ever had to do for them is pretend I am their girlfriend because some desperado refuses to take the hint. I shouldn't even call that a favor because get immense pleasere out of it. Does that make me a traitor  my gender? Puh-lease! I don't give a rats's behind. grin
True what you said, however, females do have to socialize with themselves since otherwise there are certain things, skills and info you need to know which you'd otherwise be missing.

Not sure why so few people on this thread say they are comfortable with fellow females.


Yes, women are catty and prone to gossip, they are also huge on criticizing, however, it is what it is.

I've never at any point in time had more male friends than female.

As far as I know.

It shouldn't be a big deal unless significant amounts are involved, in which case some kind of trust account would be needed as it could be dangerous for whoever is is named beneficiary or next of kin.

CultureRe: Alaafin Of OYO With Yoruba Descendants In Brazil (pictures) by itstpia1: 7:11pm On Aug 26, 2014
iwonbaoko: 1.Factually.
I do not agree that Alaafin approved establishment of Awujale of "Ijebuland" . In reality the word "land" is not Yoruba and there is no such thing as a "de facto" Ijebuland any more than there is a Yorubaland. Those eulogies are used for other Obas as well
2. Everything you say about the "authority" of the Alaafin stems from force or capacity for violence in a particular era. So to talk of superiority is like talking about superiority between Abacha and Babangida. Neither of them had any right to rule and there is no historical,canonical or spiritual basis for Oyo supremacy FOR ALL TIME. Empires come and empires go.Once the Romans ruled the world or most of it as did the British and now the Americans. In short the man with the biggest sword or gun in any era is king.
In all likelihood Ibadan which is a baby,historically speaking, was a bigger force at the time of colonization and was poised to be the dominat force in the area.

More important is the word "Yoruba". That word means a very different thing today from what it meant during the Oyo empire. The very fact that Oyo is considered "empire" tells the whole story. Ijebus,Egbas,Ekitis,Ondos etc were NOT Yoruba Yes they considered themselves Omo Odua and spoke mutually intelligible languages but then so did the biblical Israelites(in relation to Abraham) and many of their neighbours with whom they had endless wars. Often it is a mistake to assume that because peoples speak a language and have similar customs they are one. Much of Northern Nigeria today speaks Hausa and are Muslims but that is the purpose and intention of empire and colonization.

In my life I have encountered Ekiti and Ijebu people(now deceased) who would specifically refer to Ara Oke as (Yoruba) They would never refer to themselves as such nor even to their language. Nigeria and its prevailing context has created the need for a "Yoruba" nation and no doubt this has utility but the idea that we all share in the Yoruba glory of Oyo is funny. In fact at the very moment when Oyo were having problems in Ilorin other "Yoruba" nations saw that as an opportunity to attack Oyo.
To my mind The Oyo people are very distinct from the Ondo Ekiti and Ijebus. They were more of a colonizing force than a fraternal one.These peoples have other less illustrious origins/stories that have been airbrushed from the official story
You'll understand better if you consider the concept of "outposts" when discussing yoruba history.

In addition, yorubas were forced southwards from niger state and many migrated to their current locations during the internecine wars.
