kingbee90: But is he not a convicted felon? ๐คจ As for the "rapist", aside from allegations, I'm yet to see the evidence for that, so that's kept aside. Calling a convicted felon a convicted felon is stating the truth, but calling someone stupid simply because they are your opposition is simply nothing short of hate. Besides shouldn't someone that claimed that immigrants Haitians are eating pets be called stupid also? #Xavier 1 Like |

kingbee90: Same can be, without doubt, said of Trump whom Kamala has shown to be more cultured and composed than, especially during the debate. Fine, political oppositions and criticisms is a social normality, but it shouldn't get to the point of being hateful or derogatory, especially in such manner. Limit suppose dey for everything, yes?

There should be a limit to political shenanigans. _______________ In other news, Americans will not vote for anyone simply because he escaped assassination twice, definitely not the Americans I know. It would be a miracle if that's the case. GOP should better focus on something more credible, and not all these "God save Trump..." "God is with Trump" yada yada yada...

raumdeuter: Exactly. Both have good and bad eggs. Both have given America good and bad presidents. Respecting and listening to each other's view without hatred is how a civilized society like America should function and this is one thing I love about Vivek. He espouses such belief and is always willing to engage even with people that contradict him. This dude even went to black hoods in Chicago and engaged with liberal blacks and for the first time in a long time, I saw a sane conversation about the progress of the country, one filled with patriotism. That moment was so beautiful. I was moved to tears at how divided America had become. This is the reason I so much love Obama's speech at the DNC where he criticized the politics of hate and division that is been played in America. He called for people to always listen to the other side with respect whether you agree with them or not. I get you and respect your views, My own beliefs align more with the Republican party, I dont agree 100% with them but I agree more with them than I do with the Democratic party ๐คโ๐๐๐ Let me tell you ahead of time, Soon he will say because you dont live in America, you have no right to comment on US issues except you agree with the democratic party 100% Bro, you don't need to tell me. I've been around this thread as an observer for two years now, so I know how everyone here behaves. Ijebos is a smart and amazing guy, he knows how to give a good argument, but at times, he tend to act funny, and when he does, even his fellow comrades tend to back off, but nevertheless he's a smart and amazing guy. Aside that, how will anyone know if I am an American citizen or not if I don't give out that info. But anyways, that's that for that. #Xavier |

IjeBos: Some questions are funny, hence I don't bother giving replies to them. You're asking me how Biden has underperformed. Bro, if the reality of Americans regarding the issues like the economy and border security is not enough to convince you that Biden has underperformed, then what is there to say. Biden isn't underperforming, and yet Kamala is runing on a "fix the economy" campaign. Biden isn't underperforming, and Kamala was to help the middle class out of economic hardship. What happened to Bidenomics? Biden isn't underperforming, yet people including lots of independentss are willing to vote for a convicted felon because they fared better economically during his reign. If these realities are not enough to convince you that Biden is underperforming, then what will I say, when you will still be hell bent on defending you Biden the over competent fellow. I misjudged you. Okay sir. Let me go and educate myself on what the liberal philosophy is ๐๐๐ #Xavier 1 Like |

raumdeuter: I'm neither of any party, but I'm liberal... moderate liberal. Being a moderate liberal makes me majorly liberal and minorly conservative. Such combinations makes it possible for me to have a balanced view of life. Truth is, both liberalism and conservatism are necessary, both progressiveness and fundamentalism are needed, that's why radicalism has to be put out of the window. Uncontrolled conservatism is oppressive, and uncontrolled liberalism is insanity. Both are needed to ensure balance in the system. Normally, I'm the kind of person people may pass out as an independent. But in the real sense, no one is an independent. For one to be an independent, one has to be 50% liberal and 50% conservative, or 0% liberal and 0% conservative, but no one really is such. Rather what we have are; * 100% liberal aka radical liberalism * Majorly liberal and minorly conservative aka moderate liberal. * Majorly conservative and minorly liberal aka moderate conservative. * 100% conservative aka radical conservatism. I fall into the second category, and everyone falls into any of the four category. Being a moderate liberal makes me have a more balanced view of things, it empowers me to look at things from both side of the spectrum and make a sound judgement, unlike radicalism, be it liberalism or conservatism, that blinds people to the truth. But the downside is that I get called "not liberal or not liberal enough" a lot ๐. I would have been in favor of Newsom vs DeSantis. I support DeSantis more Same with me, but Vivek came along ๐. I agreed with some of his view, but I also disagreed on some of his view e.g firing the department of education. What a bluff Vivek ๐คฃ๐. But what attracted me to him was his smartness, rationality, charisma, vibrancy, and willingness to respectfully engage with people irrespective of whether they are on his side of the fence or not. The way he always humbled CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, ABC News with his wittiness, boldness and confidence always made me laugh Did you watch the DeSantis vs Newsom debate earlier in the year? Heard about it, but didn't actually watch it. Now you've brought it up, I will make out time to watch it. #Xavier |

IjeBos: As usual, try and justify Kamala's lack of policy discuss, and heap all the blame on Trump. I believe I've made my points clear, debates are meant to address policies by candidates. So when asked a question, candidates should answer and address that question, and not spend vast majority of the time beating about the bush, throwing lies like grenades, rambling off-point, and blaming the other for their own failures. That isn't what Americans want, otherwise, why bother debating at all? And fyi, you can't say you are a liberal and talk about you like Ronald Reagan, Ron DeSantes, and Vivek Ramaswamy. You just gave yourself away. Those three are as Bullshit as Bullshit comes esp. Ramaswamay. They hold a fake intellectualism, they know what they say is intellectually dishonest and makes little sense, but will appeal to uneducated Republicans. You know the term voodoo economics came from Reagan. You should instead of listening to how they say things, look at the actual policies they are talking about and ask if they make sense. They understand most people won't I was expecting you to say this, and I was not disappointed. So I'm not a liberal because unlike you I chose to not ass lick the Democratic party. Just wow ๐, but anyways, who am I to argue ๐คฃ. Bro, some of us focus on quality of individuals or candidacy, and not party okay. And whether you like it or not, Ronald Reagan was an amazing president, same as Obama. Were these two perfect? No Did they perform well? Yes Did they perform absolutely well? No. Did they make bad decisions and judgements as president, that faced criticisms? Yes. Do I agree with all their views and policies? No. As I said, I do candidates or individuals and not party. An as I also said, no law says that one has to support all the views of his or her preferred candidates, in other words, I don't support all their views and policies. As for Vivek, reading this makes me laugh ๐. Vivek is not smart? Okay, if you say so ๐. But the evidence that abounds in the media says otherwise. My brain cells die listening to Ramaswamy. And I know he's smarter than the BS he spews. But your brain cells did not die listening to Biden whom you've dedicated all your time and energy on this thread defending. Good to know ๐คฃ. You keep saying that Biden underperformed. And you and may have a different definition of unobjective. So, explain why. And then explain what you think he could have done better. Give me policy. So in your view, Biden performed well, but yet, Americans are unhappy with the issues of the economy, border security, energy, global wars under the Biden-Harris adminstration. Biden performed well, and yet Kamala wants to fix the economy, not improve it, but fix it. Biden performed well, and yet Kamala wants to help the middle class (who where of course faring better under Trump). Statements like this makes me laugh, but that's what you get when someone has sworn to defend the "competency" of Biden despite the fact that the reality of Americans are the opposite, and when you call that out they claim you're not a liberal, I guess I'm not ๐คท. You're looking for how Biden underperformed? The reality of Americans serves as an evidence to that, likewise the "fix the economy" campaign Kamala is running on. #Xavier 3 Likes 1 Share |

ObaIgwe1: As usual, trying to justify her lack of policy discuss. Trump normally is a mad man, but that didn't change the fact that she was asked questions several times, questions which she dodged answering but instead choose to throw lies, and blame Trump. Was Trump responsible for that? Was Trump in charge of the controller of her brain and mouth? All this excuse to me sounds funny. The moderators, I don't know if they were biased but they gave Trump more time than Harris. For example, Trump kept asking for more time to rebut Harris like 5 times outside the time rule, and the moderators allowed him 4 out of the 5 times. The only time Harris wanted to rebut a false claim by Trump about taking all guns away, the moderators denied her, and she had to use another of her time slot to rebut that... But no one said the moderators were biased at that instance. Same question should be asked of Kamala (although she fared a little better than Trump in that. I say things as they are.) The debate was all about both candidates spending vast majority of the time dodging questions, throwing lies, rambling off-point, and blaming the other for their failures. Which now begs the question, was that what Americans wanted to see and hear considering the reality on ground? BTW, the claim that Trump won with closing argument on why Harris has not implement those ideas as VP is bullshit to me. We all know The VP doesn't have such power. Trump knows that and so do all educated people. Like how much of Pence's ideas were implemented under Trump? Yes, she may not have absolute power, but she has the power to persuade the president and partner with him to do that, but no, such wasn't the case, not even the efforts to do so. Why? For example, Is she trying to say that Biden wouldn't have gone with her $50K task incentive for small and medium business start-ups? Did she even make the efforts to do so? Secondly, when she was praising and supporting Biden's economic policies as the next best thing to Jesus Christ, didn't she know of the economic reality on ground? Has she "diplomatically, subtly or wittily" condemn such policies? Did she address them? Or she still praise them. Whether we like it or not, she was and is the 002 of the Biden-Harris adminstration, which made her heavily associated with how the adminstration was ran, and the effect of such can not be disassociated from her. Secondly as the VP, she had the capacity to persuade the President to buy into those policies of hers, but nada, no efforts were even made for such. So what excuse do you want to give for her? So yes, the Trump question is more than valid, and the only way for Kamala to disengage herself from that is to address that elephant in the room, and if she can effectively do that, then she has my support, otherwise, unfortunately, I would be stuck with Trump, which I'm not a fan of ๐ข. #Xavier 3 Likes |

IjeBos: I'm a liberal, and my liberalism demands I call out bullshit as it is, irrespective of who the subject is, and that's what I did. I don't ass lick anybody. None of them pay my bills. Note, this is not about Dems vs GOP, this is about Trump and Kamala, and their performance at the debate. Let's not shift ground here. The debate was an embarrassment, it is what you would expect in a third country's presidential debate. Neither Trump and Harris were answering questions asked them about policies (although Kamala tried very little here compared to Trump. I say it as it is), rather all they did was spend vast majority of the time, beating about the bush, throw lies, rant off-point (Trump), and blame the other for their failures (Kamala). You attempt to justify the above with the concept of Trump behaviors making policy discuss impossible, but need I remind you that Kamala was asked questions multiple times... questions which she dodged answering. Need I remind you that she had opportunities to address the elephant in the room, which was the incompetence and underperformance of the Biden-Harris adminstration, and tell how and why she can and will be better, but she didn't. Was it Trump that was in charge of her brain and mouth controller? Look, I don't engage in unobjective task of defending any candidate or party simply because I'm a liberal. I call it as it is. The debate was trash... nothing short of comedy. I'm a fan of Obama, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosy (who are Democrats), same way I'm a fan of Ronald Reagan, Ron DeSantes, and Vivek Ramaswamy (who are Republicans). I don't do parties, I do individuals. Defending or trying to justify the underperformance of the Biden-Harris adminstration is unobjective. Defending the unpleasant performance of any of the candidates is unobjective. And that's something I, Xavier, will never be a party to. My liberalism says no. Gone were the day where you would listen to a presidential debate and be thrilled, but today you either get angry or you get wildly amused. But I gave Trump the win because of his concluding speech despite his lies (which Kamala was equally guilty of), off-point ramblings, and uncoordination. The question he asked is one every American needs to reflect on. I'm neither a supporter of Trump nor Harris. As a matter of fact, I wanted this election to be between Newsom and Vivek. Vivek was my preferred candidate because he's quality despite the fact that he's conservative and GOP. Do I agree with all of Vivek views? No, same way, I didn't agree with all of Hillary Clinton's view when I supported her in 2016, same goes with Obama. There's no law that says you must agree with your preferred candidates' view to support him or her. I support Vivek because he's very smart, vibrant, bold, engaging, charismatic and appears competent. As a liberal, my liberalism demands me to be rational and objective, and rationality and objectivity demands I don't support party, but rather, candidates. It demands I focus on candidacy quality. This is what Dr. Phil was tasking his audience to do. If Americans do this, politicians and politcal parties will sit up. They will realize propaganda and shenanigans won't work, but rather quality in terms of candidacy and policies, and will be forced to give Americans those. If this election were to be between Newsom and Vivek, it would have been a win win for America irrespective of who won due to candidacy quality. I'm neither a supporter of Trump or Kamala, but IF, and that's a big if, I'm to support anyone, currently it will be Trump despite his unpleasant personality, because of; * His concluding speech. * The failure of Kamala to address the above stated elephant in the room. * Trump's performance as President. * Trump's talk-and-do personality (this personality isn't absolute though, but it's a highly attestable one) If an unpleasant personality is the one that appears to be able to get the job done over the so called pleasant personality, then objectivity demands I go for the unpleasant personality. I don't need to like him, I just need to like what he would do as president. #Xavier 2 Likes |

MY THOUGHTS ON THE U.S PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES I know it's coming late, in my defense, I was uninterested in commenting on it, but nevertheless I later felt the urge to do so. The debate to me was nothing presidential, but everything of a Hollywood comedy sitcom where two adults that called themselves presidential candidates spent at least 90 percent of the time, one, lying, and two, rambling or blaming depending on who was speaking, all these without talking extensively on policies. Trump was a pathological liar, and off-pointed rambler. Kamala Harris was a pathological liar and blamer of Trump for all the misfortunes that had befallen the country under the Biden-Harris adminstration. I can't count the number of times I had to scream or utter, "Jesus!!!!! Trump that's a lie." "Trump for fรผck sake, stay on track and answer the question." "Trump enough with the millions and millions of illegal immigrants pouring into our country... and fรผcking answer the question." "Mr 'the illegal immigrants are eating our dogs, cats and pets'." "Mr 'concept of a plan'." "Woman, Trump is not responsible for that, Biden and you should take responsibility." "But you've been the vice president for three and half years Kamala, why didn't you ensure such was done. Why now?" "That's a lie, Kamala!!! Trump never said that... that's not true." "Really Kamala!?... project 2025, national abortion ban, Trump is anti IVF... really!?" "Don't tell us your history Kamala, answer the fรผcking question!" "Mrs 'Trump caused it'." "Mrs 'Bidenomics is working, but we need to fix the economy'." I watched the debate hoping to see two minds talk deeply about policies, but no, all I saw were two aggrieved teenagers in adults bodies settling personal "you did not take me to prom night, and this is the reasons why I didn't do it" scores. It was an eyesore. I have to admit, the Nigerian presidential election was way better than this junk we call presidential debate. So much for being the champions of democracy. Funny enough, Trump and Harris in their White orange masculinity brain, and black Indian feminine brain respectively would think they won the debate. So ridiculous. WHO WON THE DEBATE? Well, I'm tempted to say none, but Trump's finishing statement was the finisher. So because of that, I would say he won the debate by hitting home with that one despite his uncoordination, lies and off-point ramblings. Kamala talked about very few beautiful polices e.g $50K tax deductions for small and medium size business start-ups (which I personally support), but if she really had the intentions of serving Americans with these policies, why didn't for the past three and half years of being the vice president of the United States of America ensure it was done, or at least made the effort to do it? If she really cared, why didn't she do it? She was and is the VP for three and half years, why not work with Biden to execute at least some, if not all, of those "sweet policies". * You want to help the middle class, why didn't you do it or make efforts to do it for the three and half years as the VP of the Biden-Harris adminstration? * You want to fix the economy, why didn't you do it for the three and half years as the VP of the Biden-Harris adminstration? And please remind me whose administration brought such inflation to the economy again? And please remind me who said Bidenomics is working? * You want to establish a two state solution to end the Israeli-Hamas war, why haven't you and Biden made any effort towards that these past months? * Regarding securing the border, tackling the Russia-Ukraine war, and restoring abortion to the federal level, why didn't you, in partnership with Biden, do them or made efforts to do them for the three and half years as the VP of the Biden-Harris adminstration? If she didn't do them or made efforts to them, why and how should and can we trust her to do it? Truth is, I was expecting Harris to address the elephant in the room... the elephant of the incompetence or underperformance of the Biden-Harris adminstration especially in matters of economy, border security, energy, global wars, cancel culture, radical woke etc, and why and how she was going to be better. If she had done this, she would have gotten my support. As a liberal... moderate liberal, I'm not a supporter of neither, but after this debate, if I'm to pick a side, I would go with Trump because of; * His concluding speech. * Harris failure to address the above stated elephant in the room. * Trump's performance when he was the president. And that's my tiny tweeny two cent. #Xavier 4 Likes 1 Share |

MaXXXine --- 3/10 Caveat: spoiler alert A flick blessed with nudity, sex, and gory deaths but cursed with lack of rational storyline as a support structure for the mentioned elements. Let's go over the plot and see why it is say so; A preacher wants his daughter, Maxxine, to follow in his foot step as a preacher, or a devoted Christian worker or leader, but unfortunately she has other plans... plans of being a Hollywood star, but since she didn't have a big break she had to start from somewhere and this somewhere happened to be porn. Her preacher father of course was furious with this... furious that his darling daughter had been taken, inducted and corrupted by Hollywood into what he terms, its radical, immoral and satanic films, and Pornography. So he swore to rescue his daughter likewise expose and destroy Hollywood. And here is where the problem lies, if his aim was to expose and destroy Hollywood, why go on a killing spree after upcoming actresses and porn actresses? Why not go after the big shots in the industry --- the studio executives, investors, directors, producers, scriptwriters, Hollywood stars etc? Okay, let's give the plot the benefit of doubt and reason that he was trying to get his daughter's attention in other to make his so called Hollywood exposing video with her being featured in it, hence the killing of her friends, then the question of why he killed the other actresses that had no connection to his daughter still hovers in the air. MaXXXine had what it takes to be an amazing slasher blockbuster, but unfortunately, poor storyline punctured it. It seems the film makers were more interested in the nudity, sex, and gory deaths than the plot. Disappointing and tragic, I must say. #Xavier 1 Share

Okay y'all it's been long I posted here... well at times a little vacay is needed... but let's cut to the chase ๐ 1.) Divorce In The Black --- 7.5/10 An intriguing and reflective movie about love, family, friendship, commitment, hope, second chance, toxic and abusive marriage, irresponsibility, dysfunctional family and its consequences. Tyler Perry keeping up with his mandate of not just entertaining but passing across life impacting messages. One reason why his movies, especially his non Madea movies are a must watch for me. 2.) Deadpool And Wolverine --- 5/10 (Spoiler alert on this one) A spectacular promising movie that morphed into a big let down. The comedy, R-ratedness, musical score, emotional weight, and actions were solid, but unfortunately the movie was cursed with a ridiculously stupid plot. Okay, let's go over this; ** Why did Paradox choose to destroy the various universes? ** Why did he choose to save the heroes he chose (which he later sent to the void when they refused his proposal of joining the sacred timeline but instead chose to save their universes)? ** The anchor entity concept is just as silly as silly itself, like, how and why should the existence of a universe be based on the existence of a particular person? How does that make sense? Honestly, Marvel's multiverse theory is just balloney. ** Why were the Deadpool Corp seeking to kill Deadpool and Wolverine? All these plot issues made the plot of the movie hogwash. #Xavier 2 Likes 1 Share

No vulgar words, no sexual content, but every fibre of the story reeks of sensuality. How can a story be so clean but yet arousing? The words, the narrations, the thoughts of the character, the sensual tension between the lead characters, all contribute to the steamy essence of the literary piece. The objective testament to literary dexterity ๐ #Xavier 7 Likes 1 Share |

You know, Rosemary33, when at the end of Temptations you said your next story was going to be a Christian romance with a dark villain, I was super excited and looking forward to it, and when I saw this story, I screamed "Finally!". Aside from waiting for the newly released seasons of The Boys, and House of the Dragons, I haven't waited with hunger for any story like I did yours. But finally, en don land, and dem no born Devil well say I no mount. The mounting self pure because the story over do pass em self. E worth the wait ๐. There are writers, and there are WRITERS. You no need me to tell you where you belong ๐ #Xavier 6 Likes 1 Share |

From the look of things, you're going with a hybrid POV --- a blend of first person POV and third person POV. Personally, for the purpose of orderliness, I will suggest, you state the character who's POV your telling the story from whenever you're using first person POV, and when your doing third person POV (which is your perspective), you should specify it. In these case you could go with the term, General POV or whatever term seems catchy to you. Aside that, interesting story ๐. This is my first time reading royal romance though. Btw, I'm suspicious of the queen. Her 360 degree change in character is suspicious, and your synopsis --- which includes the prince willing to lose his royalty for love --- adds credence to that. That woman is definitely cooking. #Xavier 1 Like |

Bam17: Giving me the Annabelle, Chucky and Imaginary vibe ๐. Beautiful stories you have going, but I don't know if it's just me, the stories seem incomplete. We deserve closures on them ๐. Amazing stories btw ๐. #Xavier 1 Like |
