    I am feeling a bit mexican nostalgic... *** mex.. para morir iguales.

    lemme try to share with you, the arabic influence on spanish,,,, I school pendejo's who think they know something.. that they do not know chit..

    One of my best friends is ******, as are a few other friends and acquaintances, so I’ve become used to seeing the word “insh’Allah” added to the ends of sentences online over the years to mean “hopefully” (or literally, “if Allah/God [is] willing.”)

    At some point it occurred to me that “insh’Allah” sounded very similar to one of my favorite Spanish words, “ojalá” – which also means “hopefully.” Could there be a connection? I wondered.

    If you haven’t guessed by now, “ojalá” does indeed derive from the Arabic “insh’Allah,” thanks to the Moors who ruled Spain.

    (Since knowing this, when I text or email my friend something I’m hopeful about, I often type “hopefully/ojalá/inshAllah.”)

    Another Spanish word that allegedly derives from Arabic: ¡Olé!

    According to the book, “Everything You Need to Know About Latino History: 2008 Edition” by Himilce Novas, “Olé is a Spanish word adapted from ‘Allah,’ the Arabic name for God. So when Spaniards cry ‘¡Olé!’ at a bullfight, they are saying ‘Praise Allah!’ — even if they really mean ‘Viva,’ which is Spanish for ‘Long live!’ or in some circles, ‘Man Alive!'”

    While looking through lists of Spanish words of Arabic origin I spotted several of my favorite words:
    All extremely interesting, and proof - if there was still need of it - that human language (besides blind faith and inability to listen to the other) is the very basis of confusion, incomprehension and, ultimately, war. If intelligent people are not involved, that is.

      there is no need of it..

      My wife and I see the same kanji, and she says, how do you read it. I say.. this particular chinese character is a boat, with 8 mouths, so to me it is noah , his wife, 3 sons and their wives... we disagreed, then she .... in an attempt to prove me wrong said, papa is always right.. the chinese say there was a man, who was righteos in GOD's presence.. I was going to make a common translation error.. using the word sight. instead of presence... it is so easy for people who do not know or read hebrew to get it wrong.

      Green sent... I tell guys, keep your strong faithttran in a non creator in tact... but show us your worth.. Christians.. be building homes, and feeding strangers ... as their GOD commands them to do..

      You guys.. hit key board keys, and pontificate on the minority opinion that Jesus did not exist.

      I am a ***, and in our history ... Jesus did exist, and he definitely made the ***s who got rich off of the coinage exchange exchange rates .... ***s from where ever were required to purchase temple coins from the rabbinical class to supply an offering that they said was acceptable to GOD.

      There are plenty of real ***ish scholars who can share a better transliteration of hebrew, aramaic, greek than I can.

      one thing.. i feel the need to share. is a lot of these atheists do not know any other language, do not seek GOD with all their hears and soul.. I am a ***.. my GOD... even if I die broke.. is everything to me.. everything..

      IF GOD revealed himself to Spence.. praise GOD. Bless Spence..

      GOD does what he does, we do what we do, and we live with the consequences, if we are lucky enough to survive our own destructive tendencies..

          He was not THAT good a player as they hyped him to be.
          Well he may not have been the best in the world, despite being the most expensive, for reasons you stated.

          The point still stands though, even his teammates later said he wasn’t the same player, the balance was different etc.

          So imagine if Spence had similar problems, it wouldn’t exactly bode well for a boxer. Obviously they’re two separate incidents and people, but those kind of crashes can change you, even if you live a very normal and healthy life.

            "Was a mistake on my part, I feel humbled"

            would be much more appreciated and spiritual TBH

              Seems like they drilled that into his head
              After his beast comment and the laughing video I doubt very much that Spence has learnt anything
              Personally, I don’t think he’ll ever be the same boxer
              As for sincere , I think he’s full of chit
              It's easier to say "God saved me" than "I almost killed myself".

              This story tell you that Spence can be a dangerous dumb individual and he's trying to turn it into
              "Spence is protected by god".

              Those PBC GUcci, big ***els kids are egomaniac morons.

                I kept on seeing reports that either he was punch drunk or just drunk.

                He sounded like he is trying to adjust to his new dentures. He seemed fine to me

                  Maybe football (soccer) fans will know about an Italian player Lentini in the 90’s

                  He was the worlds most expensive player at one point and then got into a major car accident. After that he was never the same player. He was healthy and could still play, but everything was a fraction off and he went from being the worlds most expensive player to a pretty average player. Everything seemed completely fine on the surface and lives a healthy life, but just couldn’t play like before. The co-ordination was gone.
                  ———

                  Interesting comparison. I do remember Lentini and just how things went down south right after the accident.
                  I’d like to think soccer is a lot different in the context of playing weekly and training daily for about 10 months.

                  In Boxing one can have an off night I suppose or an opponent that just has your number or all wrong for your style (style makes fights) so maybe Spence will not fare the fate of Lentini. I hope.

                  I wanna see Spence put some hurting on Crawford. I like Crawford a lot. I just don’t think he beats Spence

                    He's right. It was nothing short of a miracle that he is still here alive today. I know that a lot of people try to make something out of the fact that he said, that if it was anybody else they could have gotten themselves killed.

                    Well it's true. However, God preserved this man's life for a reason because his life has a true meaning and purpose to it. Obviously, God wasn't ready for him yet because he has a special calling on his life. There's something else God has in store for him to do.

                      Have you visited the funny farm recently? I say that with all sincerity because obviously you are experiencing hallucinations and a lost of contact with reality.
