    Do you have a fish tank?

    I am going to look into this more for sure then. I want to do more live plants. I'd probably get more shrimp since they maintain the plants and stuff. I saw some really cool set-ups on YouTube where they balance everything out so cleaning is very minimal. You just have to establish the right...

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    Exactly. Any place can become a dating spot if two people are into each other. I can bet there have been relationships formed on most major/big sites that allow communication between guests or members.

    Do you hold any traditional values when it comes to relationships?

    I am fairly traditional. I believe the man should be the financial supplier and the woman should be the homemaker. This is not to say this is how it can work out for everyone. In many cases, both people in the relationship need to work. Some women want careers as well and there is nothing wrong...

    Do you have a fish tank?

    I have a small 20-gallon tank. Been keeping it going for almost 3 years now. I have some of that moss growing on a piece of wood in there, looks like a small tree. I have a few other live plants as well. I did have gravel and half soil. I am considering upgrading and getting a larger one but I...

    What Would You Do...?

    I am not sure what I would do but this dude has some issues for sure. Be it with an individual or multiple people. I am just glad he takes it out in a virtual game... But what if that switch gets flipped? It always freaks me out seeing stuff like this.

    Modern white degeneracy irl and on the internet.

    You ever been on Tumblr? LOL There are people who legit think they are animals trapped in human bodies. Not once did I see a black person do this. It is always some weird white person with colored hair and 20 different genders. I feel like this is what an identity crisis looks like. There are...

    Patterson, NJ School Lunches Worse Than Prison

    My mom always packed my lunch. It didn't matter how nice the food looked, she didn't trust the school to be investing that much in healthy nutrition. I can get schools like this are way worse than the one I went to as well. That just looks and sounds terrible.

    The 1960s - Over 40% of black families owned their own businesses, what happened?

    I never understood this. Like what the hell happened? Hard work is needed to run and manage a business, did people just get lazy or something? I am by no means qualified to manage a business and I likely wouldn't be able to handle the stress but I feel like I was raised under the presumption...

    Anyone here ever join the military?

    Qualifications don't matter. They care more about what you have in your pants and what you do with it. I heard about gay dudes getting promotions and outranking more qualified men simply because they were gay. It is pathetic. Qualifications, skills, and health need to matter not gender or sexual...

    What Do You Bring To The Table?

    I don't envy people in this position! Not by a long shot.

    Dating older women (cougars)

    I think retaining your inner-youth is important. Like being able to play and have fun into your adult years and maintain that is better for your emotional and mental health. This is probably why people who have kids are generally happier than those who don't. Kids keep you in touch with your...

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I think dating apps and sites have a lot of flaws. I would wager we'd have more success on online communities like this one. Like-minded people coming together, forming online relationships that can become something more as we get to know each other. Anytime I hear of a successful couple in real...

    Diamond D On Why Fat Joe GetsnAn N-Word Pass

    True. Action is more important than speech. If we can respect ourselves and other people respect themselves, it just becomes better as a whole for a community and in general for society.

    Diamond D On Why Fat Joe GetsnAn N-Word Pass

    How about we all just stop referring to each other with the soft a or the hard r? Maybe this is just me but I feel like this whole dialog was pushed on us with hood culture to keep us enslaved to the state. Changing one letter doesn't make it less of a slur. And wtf even is a "n word pass"? What...

    The 1960s - Over 40% of black families owned their own businesses, what happened?

    That was almost 1 in every 2 families having their own business. I have to wonder what happened here. Now it is something like less than 8%. I also was reading the statistics for marriage and co-op parenting. At the same time, 85% of black households were married or co-opting parents. Thomas...

    Anyone here ever join the military?

    I have never joined nor considered it. I think it times were different I may have. It seems like the military is heading in a weird direction right now with everything going on. Had I been born in another time and joined, I likely would have been a medic.

    Documentary on the Problems w/Transexuals Dating Straight Men

    I'll just say it like it is, I have a problem with people born as males competing with people born as females in sports. I have seen so many girl's and women's dreams get tarnished because of a trans girl/woman competing against them. I have compassion and I understand wanting to fit in and be...

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I talk trash about online dating all the time but I really feel like we all need to give it more of a chance. lol I am also not opposed to dating someone a bit older either cause they seem to have their ish together in life as well. I don't want to be committing myself to some class clown who...

    What Do You Bring To The Table?

    Exactly! Better to realize you are not a good match earlier on cause the longer you wait, invest your time, your feelings, your funds into the relationship the harder it will be down the road when you realize things just aren't going to work out.

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I feel like marriage still has value in this world and when you are paired with the right person for you, it makes life easier and more worth living. I know there are a lot of bad examples out there and reasons why it would seem best to avoid marriage but for me, I think it is an important...
