Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?
by PokerPlayerPhil init's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.
in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.
you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

I don't think violent protest will solve anything either, fear never producing the outcome we all desire because one group will suffer. I am speaking about a protest, a grassroots movement coordinated by people who are trust worthy because these bums in office need a tossing out the door. Have your grandpa give you his signs from his teenage years that read "Throw All the Bums Out of Office!", they had those signs and stood out in front of their Reps offices and things got done. Something broke back when Rodney King was beaten to a pulp, it's been building like a slow growing cancer that's fully metastasized and now we noticed the symptoms finally. The Media helps by bringing it to our attention, it's not like they really care or want change, Fox News sure don't care how African Americans are. Fox News only cares how their Rich Patrons are, not the poor members struggling to make a living.
Simon you post about this being a issue of "rich vs poor" and not "black vs white" is so correct and people with run in's with the law since childhood nailed it! What can we do to change people who might get voted in under the promise of "Change" and nothing happens because their happy to wine and dine on the tax-payer's cash while being suited by Corporate America? What can we do besides feel powerless, if numbers from the WSJ and Bloomberg are true, the average household in the United States has less than $8000 in assets that can be readily turn to cash.
On another thread it's time to share another problem impacting the poor community being screwed out of their hard earned cash. Their parasites taking advantage of people who can't afford the costs yet have no choice but use their services.

The lack of change happening through peaceful protesting is definitely changing how groups are handling themselves. Look what happened three years ago with the "Wall Street" protesters that were pissed off they could not find jobs with degrees, were living with their parents and politicians were only worried about getting re-elected (you get a full pension after serving 5 years as a Senator and Congressman-woman), the March on Wall Street was a total failure with no follow up.
DOC makes a point that's ringing loud in the United States, I asked people what they think and surprisingly they are for a more active, less passive role in trying to make changes. The USA has toppled many Middle Eastern Governments through bloodshed and violence, nothing gets done through peaceful means here because the people are too disconnected with their fellows cause. If people were unified and thought the issues through like we do here, the politicians would be scared as hell and people like the Koch Brothers money would not mean shit! It's everyone who sits on the ass asking others to make the tough choices they should be doing by voting for better representation.
You want good cities, you want good wages, you want good food but your not willing to fight for these. If people really cared about others, Walmart would be out of business for hiring slave-labor, low-life leader of business practices instead of thriving. Why are people fighting each other instead of heading to the roots of these problems and going after those who destroyed the inner-city schools, stole money from programs to get kids from the worst parts of the city on track for a chance! Fox News Talking Heads preach "The American Dream is alive and well for everyone!", that's bullshit according to men like Malcom Gladwell(I know he's not the best person to post here but he cares and tells things as best as his stats will show(assuming he's not skewing them)). Conservative Economist and the White Propaganda Machine (Ditto Head), (Lover of Bush-Clinton or Rand Paul) preach such nonsense, the Left are not fear mongering, the real Liberals are not afraid to pay their fair share of taxes as long as they help the US instead of being wasted on Military Weapons and Regime Toppling in the Middle East!
I think were are going to find some interesting facts once more stripping of benefits to the most needy happens. The quest for the Ultra Rich to pay no taxes will naturally segregate the rich from the poor and leave those in between hanging of the cliff. We need preachers of Social Justice and leaders to fight the freaks like Joel Olstein who ameliorate the consciences of the biggest thieves in the United States. They want their empires to carry one like the Rothschild and Gettys. In England or Ireland some archaeologist uncovered a royal tomb dated to around the 2nd or 4th century. Nobody knows how they were or what their names were, in their quest to rule the World the Business Machete will slash the wages of the Blacks even further making the social injustice spread causing more crime and further militarization of the police departments. It's coming people, when your neighbors can't feed their kids because your so worried about not paying taxes for yachts and Bugatti cars($2 million dollar cars!0 we will break!
My teacher was the only white kid attending a high school near Watts, California and he liked it even though he stood out like a sore thumb. The community respected his family from all the good his father did as a preacher who fought the System to get more for a city and people the State wanted to throw away or sweep under their steel matts. When people can't provide for their families because all the greedy companies moved overseas in search of Slave Labor, what do you expect?
The Politicians will change things when the Voters come together and fight instead of behaving apathetically and putting their heads in the sand, one Radio Clown said "I want to quote what some author said back in 1964. "just leave us alone and let us watch our TVs, that's all people really want!" Late NIght Radio Talk Show Clown's message implies those in the City have a TV, they have the liberty to sit on their ass instead of some single mother working three jobs to put poisonous-tainted food on her kids plates. Two locals ran for political office in ran, these two vipers I knew in high school and hated the lower class yet they ended up making it in the head of the School District and the other made Board of Supervisors. They hated the Hispanics and poor and guess whose in charge, they go to their White Churches on Sunday and sharl at the poor!
One more dam thing, these people in the cities don't want to sit on their ass, it's not by choice jobs that pay enough for them to have a family are long gone. Whose fault is it that kids in poor areas have so many obstacles in their path, no all can grow up and be a saint like Bill Cosby who blasted the Blacks as "No Morals", "No Fathers to guide them so they end up sleeping with their own daughters", "Mothers need to restrain themselves from sexually gratifying men who only want to use their body in the black community" I heard him say this while standing next to a black(white wannabee) psychiatrist addressing some of the riches members of the United States, with enemies like Dr. Cosby who needs terrorists?

New research that shows poor children have smaller brains than affluent children has deepened the national debate about ways to narrow the achievement gap.
Neuroscientists who studied the brain scans of nearly
1,100 children and young adults nationwide from ages 3 to 20 found that the surface area of the cerebral cortex was linked to family income. They discovered that the brains of children in families that earned less than $25,000 a year had surface areas 6 percent smaller than those whose families earned $150,000 or more. The poor children also scored lower on average on a battery of cognitive tests.The region of the brain in question handles language, memory, spatial skills and reasoning, all important to success in school and beyond.

How Come the Watchtower does not admit "We Don't Know Anything About Bible Prophecy" and come clean?
by PokerPlayerPhil inso many of us have been caught up in the negative effects this religion placed over our lives and those who we love very much.
i am the first one to tell my kids "i don't know s&^^ about this or that subject", if the watchtower is truly our brother or spiritual mother why don't they tell us the following questions we all have asked them?.
1. we screwed up about 1914 and "life is short, go live your life to the fullest while maintaining justice and morality, don't hurt your fellow man by making his life screwed up!.

A large portion of outspoken Evangelicals don't rely on End Time Prophets like Hal Lindsay's collection (starting in 1969) "The Late Great Planet Earth" and Dr. Harold Camping's End Time predictions, all the prophets of the Rapture are remnants of a time past. I read nice articles by good writers who are not focused on grinding your teeth, preventing people from living a good life or the "doctrine of fear". These guys are brutal against Cults, they don't like people who mistreat others(Shunning is ineffective and demonic according to them) unless the person is someone who hurts little children or blows people up or extorts and extracts illicit gains via things like "child labor", "sex trade", "drug thugs" and "terrorist". The Watchtower can't even come forward with any statement against the killings, the maiming of Christians through Radical Islamic regions.
When was the last time you heard of a Watchtower defender going before the students at Oxford or Harvard to share their wisdom, their social morals to change people's greed or offer cups of water to peaceful protesters trying to change the abuse in their community?
The Watchtower has morphed in to a 700 Club, PTL or Jimmy Swaggart type Organization except they don't show pictures of the starving children or interview the missionaries working to change poverty, develop clean drinking water or solar stoves in Africa and Asia. The Watchtower besides the West-borough Baptist church causes more pain to members and society than good. Since nobody knows when the End will come, why don't they focus on helping humanity instead of creating more shell corporations to hide their money from the lawyers suing for poor-practices of managing pedophiles in the 2000 back to our childhood? I can't see any value the Watchtower is having us, their like fleas or ticks , their parasites using resources without putting anything back. Wasted money to fly Tony Morris to harass homosexuals, deplorable amounts of money are spent to send the jokers to share their intense personal dislikes to anyone stupid enough to obey them.
Catholics do lots for the World through charity, Fundamental Christians in certain churches are trying to make a change for the good, the Watchtower won't move until they see their approach is worthless. What's going to make the Watchtower get unstuck from decades of failed doctrines, worthless teachings and ruined lives and deaths from the Blood Doctrine, lots of people will have to stop attending and donations need to stop and then their will get New Light from their god telling them "We humbly apologize for being calloused men and want you to enjoy as much life, stop feeling guilt over issues that don't bother us(taking vacations with the intent of enjoyment instead of missionary vacations the GB does not do!) working extra to stay afloat and free thinking to question areas that won't kill off the Organization. The Mormons don't expel people for asking questions the Watchtower does, the Fundamentals will not label you "Apostate" for disagreeing with the church pastor!

Anyone Know what happened to the Video that's brought down many JWs to Ex-JW land?
by PokerPlayerPhil ini've been looking for a video done by someone who shows the warning by jesus saying "if anyone comes to you and say's "the appointed time is near" you are to run from them!
two people who left the watchtower said this has been one of the most powerful videos to get inside the heads of really smart elders and witnesses that don't come the regular way.. the gist of the video is the watchtower wrote a book called "the appointed time is near" and this goes against everything jesus christ warned people.
the problem with the watchtower's followers is they need "omens", "portents", "signs" to keep their followers following along their path lead by that dried up old carrot (the end) or (the appointed time).

Thank you very much, that's what helped my friend leave the Watchtower Organization! The simplicity of truth goes beyond all the gobbledygook the Watchtower ensnares people with. You saw one of the Governing Body reps say "There's more proof for 1914 than there is for air, gravity and ???" don't know what he's talking about but all the JWs without brains enjoyed his bumbling attempt at defending the bunk doctrine of 1914!
Really what does knowing anything about 1914 have to do with living the life of a teacher who taught his followers to love each other with the same love you want to be treated with? How does knowing about 1914 help the youth make good choices today, by scaring them out of attending college and thinking outside the box? You have discredited their false teaching of 1914 over and over and still they won't allow that doctrinal corpse to be buried! Thank you for finding this, can't figure out why i could not find it!

Paul the Pendelum of Abuse has swung to the far side of Society's Clock. I remember as a kid living in WEHO how disrespectul kids were to the officers on career day. Kids under their breath calling the police officer "Pig" or "Knarck" because they thought this would impress their fellow classmates. When did the Police turn from protective men to the militarized soldiers of the City, think "Escape from New York" style cities dealing with civil insanity.
Chicago on Robocop, Society has become so unmanageable you need robotic weapons or another scenario is Stallone in "Judge Dread", Hollywood's Sci-Fy writers has a bleak scenario written out for you and me and especially the poor who will get scooted in to some nasty region to live(think Matt Damon and Jody Foster movie living above Earth in some utopia with limited resources as humans struggle to eat).
These past few years have reflected a pent-up rage slowly being released by both parties in this mess, how do we avert a total war in the ghettos and demographically poor regions? We got to stop the tension before we start killing each racially on a large scale. The Media should stop fanning the flames of hatred, their trolls even though their providing a service that might otherwise be covered up!

Excatly FInkel, this video is something special that shows the book Rutherford wrote about the "Appointed Times are Neigh" and I can't even find that book either. Since the Watchtower followers don't use the Bible or practice it's instructions it's so hard to get them to see the "Test of the False Prophet" in Deut 20-30s don't apply to them because they make lame excuses of "We are just zealous" which is a lie.
Does anyone know what happened to that video, he has a British Ascent if I recall and shows the book Rutherford or Russell wrote showing "The Appointed Times Are Near" which according to the Bible proves their liars!
Last night I read Galatians and Ephesians and it's making me kick myself why I allowed the Watchtower Society to tell me the New Testament only belonged to the Annointed or those in the "Other Sheep".
The Bible is clear, there are only two groups in it, the Jews and those in the New Covenant. Paul attacks the liars who were not obeying the instruction given by Jesus Christ, people who were re-crucifying Jesus Christ because they thought they should make the new followers obey the Law eve though the "Law leads to Death" Galatians 3-5 proves it. Paul fought against the fake teachers, he was not a mean man and when you read his letters you get the feel he loved the sheep, his desire was to keep them from getting bent up by false teachers and obeying the Law that showed we all are messed up and can't earn our way to Salvation, only by Faith!

why did man go from living 900 years to 90?
by sowhatnow ini cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

Let's have a fun discussion I've heard spoken by people who believe humans were able to live long lives like Noah as we move towards "Trans Humanism" moving the Conscious in to half-robots and millions of nano-bots to keep part of us from dying. There is a article I read describing how the age of humans will get boosted to 150-200 before the 22nd Century that's pretty creepy. How do you know it's you that's inside or is it nothing more than a copy and not the original?
The question you need to ask is why did Noah's kids age fall off a cliff after the flood? Micheal Jackson belived this part of the story and sat in a hyperbaric chamber each day because it's suppose to mess with free radicals and add life to our short span.
Next is the theory that male sperm after age forty beings to deteriorate very quickly, the odds of having children with defects goes up with both men and women after age forty according to genetics articles. Noah was 500 years old when he had his kids, that might explain why their life span dropped rapidly as opposed to having kids when he was 40 in this Pre-Flood World. Adding the "Old Sperm" theory on top of the radiation that came freely because the water canopy no longer blocked out harmful UVs that age us to, that's part of the picture why people think we age quicker.
Why did Noahs kids, kids age fall down the raven too, that's a good question because you would think their DNA was still pretty strong since their only one generation away from prime DNA of Noah. Is it really hard to imagine if human beings unlocked the aging code we could no live to be two or three hundred years old if science made some incredible break-through with nanobots that re-generated the human cells making us look good?
Nobody here will participate with the Trans-human Experiment because were not rich enough and this would be set for people like Stephen Hawkings, Walt Disney and Bill Gates and that type of cream of the crop human beings!
If you have time please read this article on how Trans humanism will answer the questions we all long to learn because this will provide those who are able to live on for ever time to answer nagging questions we desire to understand!
Transhumanism Needs to Establish a Meaning to Life
by Matt Frohlich on January 29, 2015https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEVlyP4_11M
"s important to bear in mind Aldous Huxley’s 1932 science fiction novel Brave New World when discussing utilitarianism, especially when it is within a transhumanist context. Brave New World describes a dystopian society in which utilitarianism has run awry. The citizens of Brave New World are subject to a life totally free from conflict. There is no pain, no suffering and no failure. People are conditioned from birth to appreciate their lot in life using a variety of transhumanist techniques, such as hypnopaedic learning, subliminal advertising, genetic engineering and copious drug use. Illness in every form has been eliminated and citizens are conditioned to accept aging and death completely without worry. There are no families as that introduces too much variability into social order. Instead children are developed ex vitro using carefully refined laboratory techniques and raised through a very strict social structure.
From a utilitarian perspective, Brave New World is describing a utopia. Indeed, this utopia is in line with modern-day abolitionist ideology which seeks to use transhumanism to totally abolish the suffering of sentient beings (hence the name ‘abolitionism’). An important point to take away from Brave New World is that this utilitarian utopia has no use for freedom. Freedom gives one the choice to make poor decisions which could potentially lower the overall utility for the individual and perhaps even society as a whole. Many proponents of utilitarianism, both in the past and present, have defended individual freedom on the grounds that the individual knows best how to increase their own happiness. But these theories are describing humans, not transhumans. As Huxley argued, transhumans can be programmed against their will, so to speak, to be happier than if they were given the freedom to make decisions for themselves. And therein lies the conflict between utilitarianism and freedom."
