Open Thread Wednesday

The stores are commercial condos. They walled off the other section to try to sell it to another merchant, but nothing ever came of it. I guess they finally gave up on the failed plan.

Jeff, nobody has questioned your nature, beyond your proclivity toward an adversarial tone in your online commentary.

(In fact, I think I’d like to chat with you in person sometime in order to round out my comprehension of you…perhaps I’ll approach you and introduce myself one of these days.)

However, people in this place and time WILL question the views you espouse, implicitly or otherwise. If you don’t understand why, I’d be happy to try to explain, but you seem to be in a hurry to get off the subject/out of the limelight.

I just want to add that in all these years of reading what you write online, the only social hierarchy you seem to be espousing exists along racial lines, which has nothing to do with monarchy as a system of government or social structure. It’s not only irrational, illogical, and counterproductive, it’s also immoral and extremely unscientific. You’re capable of reading any quantity of scholarly articles I could provide about how your concept of race as human value indicator is built upon mythologies and non-facts, but because of confirmation bias you’re likely to come up with ways of dismissing actual data. On a personal note, what I’m interested in is what drives your determinations about the superiority of one made-up classification of people over another. Do you have a clear comprehension of when and why you came to hold these views?

This blog didnt mention the gang of 15 charming little punks that set upon a lone female on State and Henry last week. No news there? Doesnt fit the narrative.

And here we are, back where we were when Mr. Smith was banned from the site at least a year ago. He returns–and he is still himself, and we respond correspondingly.

This is fun for awhile, but rapidly becomes distracting and enervating. There are better–much better–things to do than argue with him, as Pavlovian-tempting as it is. Let us not be provoked–or enforce the original ban.

^^^ Talking to yourself again Jeffery? LOL

Yea. Lets write a feel good story of having our children clean up the mess the homeless bums leave in our parks. Isnt that the job of the govt. How wonderful it is to have a child ask what a used condom or a bag of human poop is doing in the park. No room in the headlines for 15 on 1 violence. Where is the outrage. Lets see if 15 white kids went into a non white neighborhood and sacked a lone female. The :::cking FBI would be there. But not here. Just part of the multicultural nirvana I guess. I hope all the members of the BHA get to experience this one day.

Then why is it that state legislatures and regulatory bodies nation wide have agreed to rate payers having the right to opt out of requirements that smart meters be installed. Well, because if they refused and any of the possible health and safety effect actualize the liabilities would be, well, very considerable…

Put “Joseph Chetrit” in a search engine, read a few articles and then tell me he is incompetent.

Plans for the Pier 2 uplands are published on Curbed (I don’t know if it’s really an “exclusive” as they suggest but interesting nonetheless):

LOL, are saying, the state being is on board with an opt-out policy it is scientific evidence of the meters causing health problems, LOL, typical conspiracy idiots “logic”…
