So when it comes to people walking down the street in 2016: Halle Berry is black. Beyoncé is black. Tiger Woods is black.

When it comes to Ancient Egypt they have to be darker than Wesley Snipes to be considered black.

In America black means you have any discernible African features. Skin color is not the main characteristic. You can be as light as someone who is considered white, but if you have the nose, the lips, and the hair you will be considered black.

So don't try to move the goal posts for Ancient Egyptians.

In Europe the people who live furthest North are the lightest. This is the same for most "continents" (of which Europe is not it's own... but another day for that). No one tries to divorce Sweden from Europe, it's just understood that Greeks and Swedes are both European. And so with Northern Africans and the rest of Africa. Of course there has been a huge influx of non Africans that have moved to North Africa so today's population is not reflexive of the population 5000 years ago.

Black Adam is black if Terrance Howard is black.

Sounds like the question is

"Can a man and 3 women live together and all have sex and kids"

Is this illegal? If they found out I was living with 3 women and had babies by them all is that a crime? No.

So how does it become a crime if I attempt to get a certificate stating the same?

That's why this is stupid. What's the other angle, they want to deny hospital visitation and insurance benees to people who live like this? WHY WOULD An OUTSIDER CARE WHAT THEY DO?

So yeah. Not that it should be legal. Not like we are legalizing crack here. The act of doing the thing is perfectly legal. That should be the end of the thinking on this. It's legal so it should be legal to generate a certificate that says the same.

A marriage license doesn't simply say you are having sex with someone. It entitles you to a series of government benefits.

Personally, I agree with you in principle that the government has no business deciding what a legitimate relationship is, but I disagree that the solution is expanding the definition of marriage. The government should just get out of it. There is no reason for government involvement in the first place. If you want to legally bind your estate to your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, roommate, mother, houseplant, donkey, or pet rock, then write up a contract. We don't need the government to give certain special benefits to certain groups of people since this is by definition an inequity.

We're mostly together on this one: however..

Wouldn't the contract be the official document that determined if the activity was sanctioned by the system?

Yeah. She likes him enough to let him sleep in the same bed but he is not allowed to touch her..

I read another story about a lady who was raped by a guy she took an innocent shower with. He had already made it clear he wanted to have sex. She wasn't into that, but she agreed to shower with him butt naked.

I understand that if a woman says no then that's the bottom line, but does that mean she should do everything that would indicate consent to a sane person?

@edblank: You commit murder all the time.

Obviously you'd never make a record of you commtting murder, so I have some basis to believe that you're a murderer.

You're not interested in the truth of the matter, just being able to deny that cops look the other way for other cops. That's fine.

If I was a murderer then people would be disappearing. So while you wouldn't be able to Google anything that would tell you, there would be missing persons. The location of the last sightings and that type of thing could lead to a suspect. Very seldom does one commit an act that literally leaves no trace.

In the case of the Police, there ARE bodies...

We're done. We're not communicating, just typing at each other.

@edblank: You're trying too hard, it's really just obvious.

You are saying I should be able to look up the times when cops allow other cops to get away with crimes.

That doesn't even make sense.

Explain slowly how one cop takes $10,000 worth of drug money and another cop doesn't say anything, and that makes it onto a report I can Google.

Don't reply with any quips or gifs or memes

Just explain how the report would get put together.

I don't blame Obama for everything. I just blame Obama for bad things that he does.

Protip: Ignoring any facts in an argument and instead accusing your debate opponent works great to deflect the discussion for many people, but it doesn't work against me.

The facts are as follows.

1. The Republicans did compromise in that they signed bills that would fund every part of the government except Obamacare.

2. The Democrats and Obama did not compromise and did block all these funding measures that would have kept the government open.

3. Cruz's manuver of attaching a bill to must pass legislation has been used time and time again throughout the history of Congress.

If you are truly unaware of these facts, I can source them for you.

OBAMACARE WAS NOT PART OF THE ROUTINE FUNCTION OF KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON.

I am not even about to quibble over technicalities. Cruz shut down the government more than once trying to undo a law that was passed fair and square.

The fact remains that his style did not defund Obamacare and it won't get anything else done either because no one is going to be bullied into following Cruz' mandates 100% while Cruz literally offers nothing in return.

If you want to keep writing, tell me how going to Putin and saying "do what I want immediately. There is no negotiating with me" is going to work.

@edblank: That's exactly what I'm saying.

You expect me to believe there's some massie conspiracy and coverup with law enforcement, even though you have zero evidence to back anything up aside from saying, "It's obvious!!!"

Troll alert, lol.

So why don't we look up the Crip's fourth quarter profits while we're at it?

No records that we can Google? Well that means there are no street gangs. Whew.

@batwatch :

Protip: blaming Obama for EVERYTHING makes it hard to take what you write seriously.

I see people like you coming home from the grocery store, looking in your egg carton and seeing two cracked eggs, and screaming to the Heavens at the top of your lungs "OBAMA!!!!!!"
