  It was an accident exacerbated by several factors. If she was so concerned about privacy, they should have had a car with blacked out windows. They should have entered and exited the vehicle indoors in a location inaccessible to photographers. The driver was speeding, had been drinking, and the idiot photographer who was taking pictures while at speed is guilty of negligent homicide.

  GC, you've missed the memo I see. Time spent "witnessing" here is actually submitted as a negative number, with corresponding negative placements for every borg literature quote or link.

  How old were you when baptized?

  by Coded Logic in

  i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.

  and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.

  honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?

  I was 30 Way too old to fall for such nonsense. In my defense, my brain was addled from the pregnancy hormones. I started studying when I wa pregnant with my oldest, and my middle son was 3 months old when I got dunked.

  I get so tired of people always bringing up "Black on Black" crime.

  by booker-t in

  i am responding to a post by someone the other day about a black girl beaten by a mob of other black teens for "acting too white.

  " the poster was trying to drive home the idea black people commit more crimes against themselves then white people do to them.

  while it is true some black people do insult other black people who they believe are trying to fit in with caucasian people, white people, hispanics, asians, and other races do the same exact thing to people in their ethnic group as well.

  wealthy black people don't get the same free pass that wealthy white people get. super wealthy black celebrities and sports stars don't usually get off nearly as easily as white celebrities and sports stars. The real privilege is reserved for "titans of industry", old money, and the political insiders.

  other than the story, the comments are very interesting, tons of comments by other blacks claiming the same thing happens to them.

  not only other blacks but their families as well bully them, calling them oreo, traitor, etc.

  there are people of every ethnicity and culture who would rather tear someone else down than put in the work to raise themselves up. that said, there is a long standing cultural bias against people with darker skin here in America. Even when it is invisible to the paler people, it is very noticeable to those who face it every day. I would love to see all cultures put more value on educational achievement and strong, committed relationships in all communities - there are plenty of fish-belly white people that seem to believe that book learnin' is for fools and parents have no obligation to actually raise their children.

  I haven't looked good naked since I was in my early 20s. Fortunately, looking good naked is not necessary for having mind blowing sex. One of life's great joys is the fact that even ugly, fat, old people can get their freak on.

  too long, didn't read. But in general, to anyone who claims to be an active, practicing dub, some advice - have a beer, watch a movie, sleep in, and get a life.

  Too many people are attracted to a career in law enforcement for the wrong reasons. Body cameras that cannot be turned off should be mandatory for all officers.

  I got asked THE QUESTION !!

  2. experiences

  a little experience that happened very recently:.

  another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.

  they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.
