Yes, I know. But I just think it's bs that people idolize her like she's so effing amazing when in reality she's a douche like all the others. Kudos to her and being that successful, but it wasn't done like how people glorify it as. It just bugs that there's so many common misconceptions about who she is and what she's done, yet people choose to remain blind/ignorant about it and treat her like some God.

Other than that, props to her for getting that status as a black female though. She HAS made some good use of that status at least.



Yea well, it might be bs but it's the truth. People can be pissed all that they want to be, things remain the same. Her name is worth a lot, her word IS gold to millions, and she will continue to build her empire. Can't knock her hustle and its outcome. I give her props on being a WOMAN with this much success (notice I didn't mention that she is black?). For women alone it is hard to even be heard.

You DO realize it's not always easy getting out of places like that, right? Cost of living in those places is waaaaaaaaay less than living in a bigger city. Going from one to the other isn't always that easy.



I move where ever I want to go when ever I want to go. I don't let anything stop or limit me. Maybe you do?



Not really sweetcheeks, but thanks for playing. I've been there before and I know people who are in the same boat. They want to leave their small podunk town, but it's not exactly as easy as going "LOLZ JUST LEAVE!!" Some people don't have the transportation to make the move. Some can't fricken afford it no matter how much they save up. It's the reality of the situation in some cases. In other cases, some people may have themselves tied down in some way and that could be holding them back from making a very tough decision. That's a different story, but yes, finances play a large part in whether or not you CAN move or not. Some people may be fortunate enough to scrimp enough together, and some aren't. It all depends on what life throws at them in the process.

The whole point was that it's not THAT EASY for some to just up and leave like that. "LOLZ JUST MOVE!" WOW. How fricken insightful that is!



lmfao! I don't play. I live my life. I don't let life pass me by. My upbringing and culture is different than your's, too. There are no limits, but the limits we put in our heads. The sky is not even the limit. Our heads are biggest battlefields. May I ask how old you are? You come across as younger than me but I have an instinctive feeling that you're actually older than me.

I hear you. I believe that anything is possible. In the past I have moved to different states and back to California again. I never felt like I couldn't move or that I wouldn't make it once I got to where I was going. I just MADE it happen because I didn't doubt myself. Now that I have a child, I haven't moved since she started Kindergarten but I am getting the itch.

Maybe you shouldn't be so openly gay.

I don't discriminate but I don't care to associate with flamboyantly gay people, their energy/aura feels strange. If you want to be more accepted you can just act normal, I'm sure the response "I just want people to accept me for me" will come up but if you want to have a better reception don't be in your face about it; it makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

I understand where you're coming from ... if he wants to have a different reception, than he should be doing what he needs to do to improve his well being.

However you are right .. people will come at you thinking you're being judgemental, for the majority of people in here take things so personally, that their minds aren't capable of being objective, nor recognizing it.





My mind questioned what the OP implies .....

being a gay man in northern indiana sucks why do people feel the need to be so closeted

..... which is ... because of everybody else, his sexual choice sucks. That is having no self accountibility at all, and making the insinuation that everyone else needs to open up their minds to suit his sexuality.

No self accountibility at all ..... it's other peoples fault, according to him, as to why his life isn't working out for him.

With that kind of helpless energy .. he'll be sucking mommas tit for quite some time to come.

Very well put P, you have an insightful point of view.

OP really meditate and consider how you want people to react to you, as a wise man once said you must be the change you seek in the world.

Im trying figure out how a black couple and gay couple is even put in the same category?




That's the whole point right there, dward ^^^^^^


To you, you obviously found the comment to wrong ... just as a homosexual would find what West said to be wrong.


Because you aren't a gay man, you can easily bypass what was said and it would never cross your mind to think it was a horrible thing to say ... but, now if someone said it about black people suddenly that makes it different because now you can relate to it personally to say ..... why is this being said?

Hahahahahaha, I couldn't even get past this page without finally making my point, but that's cool because I might have been distracted by something shiny anyway. I am afterall a.... GASP, SHOCK, SCREEEEEEAM.... Gemini. I was around page 18 maybe—?

Anyway so here's my point..... I find it ABSURDLY HILARIOUS that in a thread where everyone is arguing about speaking completely PC and not slamming blacks, gays, purple midgets even (don't know didn't get that far, but I was hoping they were mentioned), BUT they keep throwing the word "retard" like it's nothing.....

I'm standing on a stool laughing at all of you. ALL OF YOU. Well, maybe not ALL of you, but A LOT of you. 🙂

Of course, according to P-Angel, I'm probably only picking up on this because I, myself, am in fact retarded. Which is probably quite true. Let's look at the facts here - I do wear my helmet.... even on the short bus.... even though it makes me angry that I cannot lick the windows.

For the record, I also occasionally like to like vaginas, but only mine because it's the prettiest.

Dear DXP,

CAN I PLEASE GET A FUCKING EDIT BUTTON ALREADY. I REALLY HATE IT WHEN YOU SLOW MY ROLL AND JACK UP MY JOKES.

"For the record, I also occasionally like to like vaginas, but only mine because it's the prettiest."

=

"For the record, I also occasionally like to lick vaginas, but only mine because it's the prettiest."

I mean after all, I do also like mine, but licking is just so much more..... appropriate here don't you think? I mean it is all about comedic timing afterall.

may I ask you something, westside?

if the answer is no, then just skip my post.

what if it wasn't two gay men kissing but it was a black couple kissing?

would that gross you out?

people are supposed to evolve in intelligence over time not regress.

gay bashing, homophobic....they are just as ridiculous as racism was 50 years ago.

if you notice, there is a pattern. there is always a group of people to pick on at any given moment.

i suppose it's easier to follow the crowd instead of making your own way.



Nobody should be "Bashed" for their thoughts, sexual preference, or skin tone. But, he said that he'd be grossed out. So what? At we at the age where 'Straight' people are the new minority? What, he can't say that looking at two men with beards going at it grosses him out? Seriously? It grosses me out! Now what?

That's really cool. I do see that you??re a west coast girl, which is even cooler. The west coast is so beautiful in comparison to the east coast. Really, there is no comparison. Thanks for sharing that??_ what are your favorite states and locations that you have been to?

Travelling and moving has really been helping me to discover myself, my potential, my drive, what makes me tick. It has made me discover resources and things that I could not have ever learned from anyone else or in any relationship or by staying stagnate. I love dipping myself into the different cultures and meeting new people. I imagine you are the same way?



Apologies, I've been gone for a while. I'm back 🙂.

The west coast is very beautiful. Anytime I've left I would always think about how nice it is in comparison to where I'd be. The weather is really nice most of the time. It doesn't snow (although I don't mind the snow), it's not humid. The part of California that I live in now has great local farming so I can get seasonal, organic produce and cream top milk (I know, wow LoL).

I don't think that I've had a favorite state although I did like the Washington DC area. I lived there for about 3 years. I was exposed to many different cultures for the first time. I am from Monterey and I was kind of sheltered so I didn't see too many things. My head was spinning at how different my summers were there in DC. It get so hot that the public buses would be free to ride. Florida was nuts. It would rain really hard one minute and then the sun would come out and dry up all of the rain within 30 minutes. Where is one place that you'd love to go?
