Congratulations to Mayor James Young. I wish you & Mississippi the best.
This one on one chat is irrelevant between mm & carl. Im not even sure if its about god. The truth of the matter is a new mayor has been elected in the city of phila. Now we must all hold him accountable for what he has promised. Phila has a long way & has a long way to go! new jobs, & business is what's needed in phila. and the city has spoken! So for once can "Our fair city" pull together? the tracks should not seperate us, our schools, or our children. We are all in the same boat just common folk from phila, ms with differnt skin tones!
Carl, apparently, you can't read either. I did not make a statement about your grammer, so why respond to me?? Seems you just like to be heard. I live in Phila. and have never seen the honorable waddell picking up any garbage on the streets. Although his taxpayer SUV could probably haul several bags.
PHilly citizen IT doesn't matter about my grammar it's all about MR.YOUNG GRAMMAR!! YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET OVER IT HE'S OUR MAYOR NOW! JUST LIKE OBAMA OUR PRESIDENT! Type all the negatives comments you want and voice your opinion because this is a free country and IT'S still not going to change anything Mr. Young is the mayor so you have a BLESSED DAY AND GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I !!
YOUR RIGHT MM, I CAN,T SPELL VERY WELL.I HAD TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL IN JR. HIGH TO GET A GOB. BUT THATS OK I HAVE MADE THE BEST OF IT.I DON'T GET HAND OUTS TO SUPORT MY FAIMLY, BECAUSE I WORK. THATS WHY YOU CRY BABBIES GET ON MY NERVS.GET OVER IT PLEASE. GOD PLEASE HELP US TO SEE PAST OUR RACE.AND JUST SPEAK THE TRURH. GOD BLESS YOU.
When you AWAKES in the morning you need to go study your grammar....
The result of this election is an outrage! That bluegum was elected because of some lowlife race traitors betrayed their birthright.
I know Mr. Young personally and he is a wonerful person. I know from a personal experience with Mr. Wadell that he would tell you one thing to your face and then turn around and do the total opposite. It was time for a change and I feel like this is what Philadelphia needed.
Carl for one thing you need to go back to school apparently you cannot spell!! I don't have to know the man seems to me the people in philly thought he was rhe right man and that's all it matters. it's all about a change. So mm knows Mr. Young we don't always get what we want in life. so carl may the lord continue to bless you because he blesses me every morning when i awakes.
Think that this is a wonderful accomplishment for your city and Mississippi as well. A dark cloud has been over our state for many years. Mississippi is my home and I love this state. I want every race to come together as a people and grow! Education and Obesity or at the top of my list for starters! Education can improve life in so many ways from health to financial growth! God Bless Mississippi and God Bless America! YOU HAVE MY BLESSING MR. YOUNG! STAY ON TOP OF THINGS!
It doesnt matter the color of someone it is the values that the person has. Carl made a good point. How can you no if someone is good if you dont know them personally. THats funny. You know his skin tone so you assume that it is a good change bc it matched yours....Rayburn was a awesome mayor and has brought so many great things to Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA IS ONE OF THE CLEANST PLACES IN MS.AND MR. WADELL HELPED WITH THIS.MM,THIS SEEMS EASY TO UNDER STAND TO ME, WHY CHANGE WHEN IT IS WORKING.
Carl, What are you trying to say? I see nothing that you said that makes sense! Anonymous was just speaking his/her thoughts. What you said, makes no sense. I personally know Mr. Young and he is capable of being a fine mayor and working for all citizens of Phila. and Neshoba County. The previous mayor only cared about his little circle on chronies and buddies!!!
TO ANONYMOUS,ARE YOU SURE JESUS HADE A HAND IN THIS.ARE WAS IT RACE THAT MADE THE DIFERANCE.YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS MAN,BUT YOU SAY THIS IS GOOD,I HOPE THE DIFERANCE IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE WE GOT IN NOVEMBER. THE BIBLE SAYS IF A MAN DON'T WORK HE SHOULD NOT EAT. AND IF HE DON'T PROVIDE FOR HIS FAIMLY HE IS WOSE THAN A NONE BLEAVER. MORE WORKING PEOPLES MONEY GIVEN TO PEOPLE THAT CAN BUT WON'T WORK IS NOT THE ANSER. LORD HELP US TO SEE THE TRUTH. I LIVE IN PHILLY, THANK YOU
It's time for a change.I don't know Mr. Young personally, but I hope he does what he said he was going to do. We have come along ways and we can continue to be strong if we stick together with one another and continue to grow stronger and have faith in the Lord! Thank you Jesus for allowing Mr. Young to make a difference. Good Luck MR.Young!!!!!!and KEEP THE LORD FIRST IN YOUR LIFE!!
