It was surreal.. at first.. then very real.

One thing I will never forget was the smell, like burnt concrete, but sickening sweet. It was on everything, for months. A constant dust in the air. I Had two brothers right there. 1 a fireman (he was lucky that day.) He stayed there for rescue, then recovery. the other works for the NYC DOT, he drove one of the dump trucks up that ramp every night for 6 months to the S.I. landfill. So the bones could be sifted out of the debris. Both don't talk much about it.. actually never.

well, had he upped the raise a few points to 74%, he would have been at the same percentage of single black mothers

wonder what he is doing to help them?

well, his chum will be out of the white house soon and DeBlasio is a one term mayor... that's for sure

Imagine Trump as President. Like him or don't like him but he would rip Sharpton apart. Lol

Would be interesting to see.

Lol... the guy is a friggin parasite... but having a parasite is better then having nothing to some... I guess ;)

BTW the NAN action team has been very quiet lately.. I know Sharpton's daughter is getting ready for her court date ( you know.. that ankle thing) so maybe Dad let her stay out of the office for awhile ( but still on the payroll of course)... to prepare her case of pain and suffering against the city.

What about the rest of the super hero's in the war room... just sitting around playing knock hockey and eating Chinese take out while waiting to the next injustice to be " Sheraton hotel press conference" worthy?

I tell ya.. these guys are sharp... down the rat pole and into the rat mobile in seconds... like fire dept. fast... impressive!!!

well.. except the daughter, she takes the stairs.. you know, that ankle thing again.

that is a incredible story about determination and character,UrbanEx and some really good advise you gave :)

I certainly cannot speak for anyone else, but I don't see people living in fear. I see people determined to beat this.

I live right across the river from NYC, you can ( or could) see the twin towers clearly.. couldn't help but see them. and I and millions of others stood there and watched them come down.

I saw shock.. total shock... and disbelieve, and a lot of people crying..men and women.And after it set in as to what actually happened, a collective rage. But I did not see fear.. and still don't, regardless of what is in the media. and NYC ( and other countries that have been hit already) does not live in fear., the people refuse to.

I see determination, not fear.

The terrorist are banking on the fear factor.. which the civilized world has already proved to be ineffective

You know what I meant

and again pages and pages of western coverage. And again, the western world has boots on the ground there, and many of those boots have white feet in them.

But please continue to make this into a white people cares less about black people thing.

bye-bye

Paltry coverage?. Boko Haram is in the news most every day. Google it.. countless pages of western news reports on the atrocities of BH

And if I am not mistaken, Doesn't the U.S and other Western countries actually have troops on the ground Africa.. there to help support the countries battling this evil and to actually fight BH. And isn't more on the way.

BTW... Bali..

U.S. special forces were actually part of the rescue team.. that is how fast the reaction way.

Do you think they cared what the color or nationality of the hostages in that hotel were.

So your from Anchorage Alaska, heh... interesting

Oh YEAH!!, well I just brought a new heavy duty snow blower from Home depot.. I too am expecting a good future of blowing snow into the street... so there!

yeah, they would argue that Nat was just looking to borrow a cup of sugar.. and I was being a bad neighbor by shooting him.. what a cheap bastard I am..Lol.

good luck with that. I tried to get the ladies to play nude twister awhile ago...got nowhere.

you seem defeated even before you start. You have no good qualities?... I find that hard to believe.

Why not list all of them and leave your imperfections and negativity out.


You will get better responses

JMO

If my family were in the house, I would have shot Nat, not to kill but to disable him form getting anywhere near my family.

Nat rolled those dice when he broke in

Hong Kong, its not far from my work project so I go over there every 6 weeks or so to relax. Love that city, there is a lot to do there.. and the food is good

So the reason for life is to watch movies and eat popcorn?. If that is the case my X may just be the creator

I am sure a lot are ex cons and it is very hard for ex cons to get a good job and support their kids. As convictions ( especially felonies) follow you for your entire life. And I agree that some non violent crimes should be down graded as not to follow a person around. But right now they are not. And the person does know the penalties of the crimes before they commit them. Especially felonies as there is usually some thought put into the crime before hand

But that apparently does not stop them from having children, and not supporting them.

And at the end of the day the kid is homeless or living in some bed bug infested motel with their mothers. Because of bad decisions or character flaws of both the man and the woman

If you can't (or have no intension of) take care of them... don't have them to begin with.

Hmmm... seems extreme.

I just swerve to avoid hitting the cat, hop the sidewalk destroying my neighbors garbage cans, then continue to work

All with a cup of coffee in my hand.

yes, we are real people but actually " stand ins" who post replies while the real posters are out to lunch or during shift changes.

We're like the JV team.

The real ones will be back soon.

P.S. , we're trying to work our way into the A List, so we may speak again in the future.. so, please give a good report of me.. if asked, o.k.
