I may disagree with you, but I like and respect the post reply exchanges with you. You know there are no posts where I have outright accused anyone of being a racist because they oppose a police state.
I think I understand your confusion over my gender. Khepra is a male African name. Not you specifically but, some people see the name ending in âaâ and think it could be a female name. Plus, I am a African-American heterosexual male, that is a ardent advocate and supporter of LGBTQ human and civil rightsâas several of my posts indicate.

Dammit, I canât let this goâŚ
FTFY.
Or maybe you forgot a word?
I am a simulated African-American heterosexual male, that isâŚ
I wonât do this again because it is trivial.
This is the second time you have done the following. You should have let it go the first time. Donât correct other peopleâs spelling and grammar, especially when a person can find grammar errors you make. It only makes you appear insecure and idiotic.

You need to answer the question in your own unsorted and uncouth mind.

âBravo. I have no reason to post any more replies in this thread, now that its title is no longer driving trollies me.â
âieâ is not grammatically incorrect, in some circles it is considered the âmodernâ use. The house style for a journal for which I am editor in chief explicitly specifies its use instead of âi.e.â While that is obscure, the Guardian, Observer, and Independent newspapers in the U.K. all specify this use as well.

You seem to be concerned about African-Americans and the criminal justice system.
How many white people in the history of America, have ever been executed for exclusively killing a African-American?
Not a white person who was executed for killing a black person along with a white person, but executed for exclusively killing a black person?
You should be aware of the number, since you are a advocateâhave a history ofâand are keenly concerned about African-Americans and criminal justice reform.
Secretary of State, William H. Steward, used the office of Secretary of State to fight against slavery. The Secretary of State is a powerful and influential position within the executive branch of the U.S. Government.
The Secretary of State is a member of the âNational Security CouncilââThe Secretary of State is the third highest ranking member of the executive branch of the U.S. Governmentâand 4th in line of succession to the presidency.
The Secretary of State is not systematically responsible for the disproportionate number of African-Americans in prison. If you are referencing the Crime Bill, remember that Bernie Sanders actually voted for it.
National Security Council
The National Security Council (NSC) is the Presidentâs principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters with his senior national security advisors and cabinet officials. Since its inception under President Truman, the Councilâs function has been to advise and assist the President on national security and foreign policies. The Council also serves as the Presidentâs principal arm for coordinating these policies among various government agencies.
The NSC is chaired by the President. Its regular attendees (both statutory and non-statutory) are the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the statutory military advisor to the Council, and the Director of National Intelligence is the intelligence advisor. The Chief of Staff to the President, Counsel to the President, and the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy are invited to attend any NSC meeting. The Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget are invited to attend meetings pertaining to their responsibilities. The heads of other executive departments and agencies, as well as other senior officials, are invited to attend meetings of the NSC when appropriate.
The National Security Council was established by the National Security Act of 1947 (PL 235 - 61 Stat. 496; U.S.C. 402), amended by the National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 579; 50 U.S.C. 401 et seq.). Later in 1949, as part of the Reorganization Plan, the Council was placed in the Executive Office of the President
The bunyip is a large mythical creature from Australian Aboriginal mythology, said to lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds, and waterholes. The origin of the word bunyip has been traced to the Wemba-Wemba or Wergaia language of Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia.However, the bunyip appears to have formed part of traditional Aboriginal beliefs and stories throughout Australia, although its name varied according to tribal nomenclature. In his 2001 book, writer Robert Holden identified at least nine regional variations for the creature known as the bunyip across Aboriginal Australia. Various written accounts of bunyips were made by Europeans in the early and mid-19th century, as settlement spread across the country.
Itâs only fitting that the Australian film industry as we know it began with a sexploitation film. Since other countries were making a fortune with pseudo-documentaries about public attitudes towards sex (including some very popular, unsimulated âdemonstrationalâ documentaries), a bunch of aspiring Aussie actors and filmmakers got together and decided to lampoon the trend with this goofy outing, which hinges on the fictional framing story of young Graeme Blundell (who later became a sex comedy star in his own right as Alvin Purple) going around Melbourne finding out what the average citizen really does between the sheets. Along with familiar faces like Dame Edna, he uncovers the truth about such subjects as cross-dressing, strippers, lesbianism, swinging, and pretty much everything else you can think of, though itâs all depicted in a light, carefree manner.
well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen, i just donât want people thinking that tankers arenât safe
was this tanker safe?
well i was thinking about more about the other ones
the ones that are safe
yeah, the ones that the front doesnât fall off
well if this wasnât safe, why did it have 80,000 tonnes of oil on it
iâm not saying it wasnât safe, just perhaps not quite as safe as the other ones
In America it is grammatically correct to use i.e.âand from what I see, incorrect to use i e
The debate is whether to use i.e. or i.e. with a comma. However if you are a editor in chief, you have expertise in the area, so I will defer to you. I will also add, as a editor in chief, I donât see you acting like a grammar zealot and correcting other members grammar.
I really could care less about correcting other peopleâs grammar and spelling. It has nothing to do with the topic in this forum.
I responded to a individual who makes simple-minded and off topic comments about grammar and spelling. Anyone can find grammar and spelling errors in your posts, my posts, in any other members postsâand in best selling books.
The purpose of this and any other topic, is discourse, whether one agrees or disagrees with the topic. People who act like this forum is a English class and the members are taking a final examine, are just off topic, vapid and jujune.
Kimmo lives in Australia, so is not bound by such parochial rules unless they are specified by the BBS style guide. This would be unlikely, as one of owners of BB has until recently lived in the UK and writes for the Guardian, where as mentioned âieâ is considered correct and âi.e.â incorrect.
I agree though that correcting grammar on internet posts is not good use of time. Except for misplaced apostrophes, those are such an abomination that they must be identified and moved to their proper location posthaste.

Secretary of State, William H. Steward, used the office of Secretary of State to fight against slavery.[/quote]
You mean against the international slave trade, or against domestic slavery? I know Steward was an outspoken critic of slavery, this is a major reason he lost the presidential nomination to Lincoln, but what official actions did he take in his role as Sec. of State against slavery (other than those arising from the waging of the civil war)?
In any event, the point remains, you canât consistently credit Clinton with preventing 9-11-style attacks unless you give similar credit to her predecessors excluding Colin Powell. Out of curiosity, do you blame John Kerry for the Boston Marathon bombing, which was certainly domestic terrorism? Of course, he was only in office for two months at that point, maybe it was really the fault of his predecessor?
THIS I agree with. Other than the lack of capitals on the proper nouns and the extraneous comma. Standards, people!
You could? How much less?
âŚalthough the likely choice is between âsane Republicanâ and âcrazy Republicanâ. A Justice who will uphold Roe vs Wade and possibly limit minority disenfranchisement, but continue to give the corporations everything that they want, or Chief Justice Roy Moore.
Yay.
Thatâs what I always said, but sheâs always, âWhy couldnât you have become a doctor like that nice Peterson boy down the street? And when was the last time I saw you at temple?â
Referring to people as objects rather than entities goes a bit further than grammar, IMO.
And since you referred to yourself as an object, I thought Iâd flag it so your devs could tweak your code.
Why (** *** ***) to vote for Hillary Clinton 
Some interesting news Sunday from 538âs Nate Silver, about the percentage as it stands right now, regarding Hillary Clintonâs chances of becoming the 45th President of the United States. The percentage is only 75% on May 15, 2016. Which means there is still a long way to goâmore work to be doneâ"a whole lot more work to be done! 
The percentage is interesting given the fact that republicans for all intended purposesâhave chosen their nominee, the democratic presidential nomination is still being contested; which prevents surrogates like President Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama etcâŚfrom engaging the campaign trail in support and advocacy for Hillary.
As well as the never-ending and relentless negative attacks Hillary hasâand continues to receive from the media, republicans, Bernie Sanders (who has a right to keep campaigning) and even a few deliberately skewed battleground state and national polls that favor Donald Trump; which has the potential to sway potential voters.
âŚYes, Donald J. Trump could become the next President Of The United States. Demographics, voting patterns, and approval ratings all weigh solidly against him winning, but with only two candidates on the ballot, Trump does have a chanceâŚ
