By contrast, "public restroom" is more or less the permanent smell of the Niger.

And you can prove this how?

You requested cities and I have responded with more in almost every subsequent post.

And now you're up to 5. You're the one that claimed that most African cities were lawless hellholes. So far you've named 5, augmenting your list by one or two from time to time. You seem to be dragging your feet on this. What are you trying to hide?

You specifically chose to emphasize the misattributed devil anecdote as a basis of comparison with gang rape hip hop.

No, I asked you to explain why, if "non-profane" Blues songs comprise the genre's "more celebrated examples today", is Robert Johnson the "King of the Delta Blues." You've chosen, incorrectly, to fixate on the subordinate clause and insert it into a comparison that I never made.

Even in the best of company you're still wrong.

That's something known only to Robert Johnson, God, and the Devil. Robert Johnson is dead and you make too many mistakes to be God.

Any governing statute of limitations on civil suit would have expired a century ago, and the suit itself would be moot as the aggrieved parties (i.e. the slaves) are also dead and thus cannot be compensated.

Perhaps, although some of Germany's Nazi reparation funds go to religious institutions and charities in Israel.

By that measure the colonial powers win over your beloved third world dictatorships.

That's a false dichotomy and an apology for tyranny that mirrors Mugabe et al's claims that independent dictatorships are better than colonialism.

By smelling it.

Indeed. Let's make it 6 with Yamousoukro.

That's not what your quote said: "Then please explain why Robert Johnson, a man who claimed to have sold his soul to the Devil, is the "King of the Delta Blues."

That's something known only to Robert Johnson, God, and the Devil.

Nonetheless, you've yet to produce any information that the story is anything other than an apocryphal misattribution based on a similar name.

Put another way, Tommy Johnson is widely known to have told a fable about himself getting a guitar for his soul. There's no record of Robert Johnson ever making that claim though.

Perhaps, although some of Germany's Nazi reparation funds go to religious institutions and charities in Israel.

And there are holocaust survivors living in Israel today. There aren't any ex-slaves living in the U.S.

That's a false dichotomy

Unless you can name a purely libertarian government in existence today, I'll venture to say that it is not.
