If kayne was a Democrat supporters, you all would be praising him. We have a white man and black man who are friends. They are both ambition and have a lot of the same beliefs. Enjoy this moment of reconciliation between the two races.

Whites who love blacks :joy: That's the most racist thing I've heard. White Men expect black women to be easy based on all the out of wedlock kids and things they've seen at work. He loves the black women. Lol. Ask him if you don't believe me.

Does kaep seem to be living an under privileged life? Do cops usually hang out in wealthy neighborhoods? He has see racism but it wasn't from cops. It was from his own mother. He had a bright future but his childhood stands in his way. He will always have to live with the fact his family didn't want him.

I was hired in with no probation period. I've never in my life had that to happen. I was offered immediate health, dental and vision ins. I have $30,000 in free life ins. After working 1 week they paid for me and my family to go to six flags. After 3 weeks, I got paid for labor day. They fed us lunch twice since I've been working there. They gave me a $100 shoe allowance. In two months I've accrued 15 hours in vaca/bonus hours.

The downside is I get up at 3:30am, clock in at 5:15 and work till 4pm. I work hard and it's tough.

My son asked me two day ago why we keep moving. The house I'm moving back into is a nice house. I had an abusive ex who came to our marriage with nothing but debt. I sold rental property to pay off credit cards. When he would hit me, he would say, you won't call the police because you can't afford to pay the mortgage. Well, I've been paying that damn mortgage since 2011 when I divorced his ***. I moved into a friends basement and rented that nice home for enough rent to cover the mortgage. I moved back into a rental when I got on my feet a little. It's problem solving. I could have stayed in that home and been foreclosed on like the tenant that has paid for it. But that would make me stupid.

I have people on here who judge me. They talk about how republicans aren t charitable and only care about themsekves, The reality is I rarely do anything for myself. Right now everything is going to taxes. After that I have a shop needing a roof and another out building. I'm debating paying for my daughter a new roof. I might be looking at a $15,000 expense for all 3.

When people talk about Medicare for all. It pisses me off. I think damn, if buying health ins is all I had to do, I would jump for joy.

Tom, I'm not trying to be rude but it sounds like you make excuses. Car accidents come with insurance payments. I know because my brother was killed in one. Like you said it's 6 figures in the bank. Your son's accident should have came with insurance also. If not, disability comes with Medicaid and foodstamps.

After my son in law got a check from his, they went on a shopping spree instead of doing the things they needed (roof). It caused tension between me and them. My daughter's dad's side of the family doesn't have a pot to piss in but have had every opportunity. My mother use to say, "You can't give some people something". She was right.

If a person has $500 and need something, they won't save until they have the amount needed. They piss away the $500 and claim they had to use it.

Just like now, if you walk away from your house, where will you live? Be a Republican and do some problem solving. Get a roommate. Get some work under the table. But stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Tom, how do you make your money?

Let add, my broke friend told me his credit card debt was mainly due to helping his family. I've observed his habits since 2012. He will take his mom to dinner. He will occasionally buy something for his niece. A phone because she needs it. Clothes for her kids. Also takes her to dinner. But his main expensive is never eating a meal at home. He also dates out of his league and takes these women on shopping trips, nice restaurants, buys them phones etc. Hotels when he lived with his aunt for 2 years. So the reality was his family was helping him because he lived beyond his means.

My wealthiest friend, bought a house because his sister wanted it. She moved in and wouldn't even pay the taxes and insurance. They had an argument and she moved away and left him stuck with it in a down market. It sat empty until the housing market came back. She found out she had bats in the attic where she moved to. He went to the rescue again and went and dealth with that problem while he had a house sitting empty.

Now if I took people for what they claim, I would believe my broke friend's family caused his troubles. But since I don't carry credit card debit, when I see someone dining out twice a day and have credit card debt, I know that money should be going to pay off those cards. My 14 year old cut my hair last month. My broke friend goes to the salon every 3 weeks.

I HAVE 3 KIDS. My latest expensive is braces. $5400. Before that my biggest expense was giving my oldest a home. I lost $800 a month in income. My son in law wreck his company truck a few weeks after I gave them the house. He was fired less than 24 hours after the wreck. He had 3 crushed vertebrates. Before that my son was sent home from the army because he was having seizures. They cut his medical and income as soon as they put him on a plane. He was seizing so hard his arms were popping out of place. So I was completely supporting him.

So, let me say it again. When I see people in poverty, it's usually because they live beyond their means until all the money is gone.

I making payments on the braces. My son in law was going to get a loan for a remodel on the house before he lost his job. He is working again now but it's taking everything to support his family. The house will need shingles soon. Probable about a $7,000 expense. I have a feeling it will be me who pays for it.

People living in poverty also pretend people who aren't have never had a struggle in their life. Which I can tell you is false.

Where I work they stressed attendance when I was hired. I've been there 2 month today. I've noticed my co-workers are absent a good bit. Once a month seems to be the average which is weird because vacation is tied to attendance. We get an extra 4 hours every month if we have perfect attendance. I'm taking advantage of it.

I work with a lot of women. I try my best to avoid drama and do a good job. I smile even at times I feel like I'm dying. I act interested in meetings that are stupid. I clock in 15 minutes early everyday and volunteer for overtime.

I like that money they put in my bank account every Thursday.

I kept my married name because I wanted it to match my daughter's name. After she is grown and married, I don't know what I'll do. When I divorced I was thinking I would eventually get married again. As time goes by marriage becomes less appealing.

I think people are too focused on the small things. When I see members of the NFL kneeling, I know they didn't have a proper raising. Kaep's mother was a whore who got knocked up by a black man. His grandparents didn't want to live with the embarrassment everyday and his family gave him away. The family who took him in, could tell everyone how they saved this poor child from a terrible childhood and get a pat on the back. He grew up knowing his family didn't want him because of the color of his skin. It will haunt him till the day he dies. So, he takes out his anger on a flag. Boohoo. Get over it and enjoy your adult life. I don't cast my vote based on this Jerry Springer bs.

Money is to keep us from trying to trade 3 chickens to fill our car with gas. It takes productivity to survive. Some people take things for granted. Did you know that electric workers work 3 weeks without a day off for scheduled maintaince? They get paid for productivity and "helping you".

War is about power. We wouldn't be living in this great country if we didn't fight for freedom.

We are dependent on certain things but have moments that we go back to basics. Some people love camping. It's nice to cook on an open fire and sleep under the stars. Taking a bath in the lake gets old after a while and people go back to modern.

I think people without money have a false sense of what it's like to have it. From what I see, people who live in poverty spend money on frivolous things any chance they get. They only eat bologna when they can't afford steak. They assume rich people eat steak and lobster every meal, buy only the most expensive clothes, never lift a finger to work, and spend their days at the spa.

My friends who are the wealthiest enjoy simple things. My wealthiest friend (my age) will work a 12 hour shift and go home and eat a bowl of cereal for dinner.

My friend who carries the most debt, eats at a restaurant twice a day and has no food in his fridge. He goes to the salon every 3 weeks, has the most expensive phone and laptop. He is beyond broke.

Only poor people think money can control the earth. We see that when Trump is blamed for natural disasters. It's small minded thinking.

Money gets people off their *****, even if it's just to drive to the welfare office. :money_mouth:

Come on ms h, you don't really believe someone who doesn't leave the house should consider a career in politics?

Maybe he should have tried telling you that you are model material and he can hook you up. Come to the hotel for a photo shoot.

He has posted what he wants black women for. You don't have to read between the lines.

Most people vote based on their personal situation. For instance, Kanye has income and property and a tax cut benefits him. A large number of blacks live in poverty. A tax cut means nothing if you don't have a job and don't want one. But most of these types aren't going to vote anyway. If Trump appeals to the thriving members of the black community, it's a plus.

there are so many areas of life where people just go with the flow that they may dislike or disagree with or that might even be wrong or illegal,
because of the perception that there is more risk than gain in doing otherwise.

For instance, many dont report rape or sexual abuse, many dont report violations or harassment at work, many dont report crimes they may witness or be victims of. Companies all over rely on this attitude with 'money back guarantees' that they know most will not bother with trying to get.

It is a calculation of sorts. Similar to how one probably would not invest 100 bucks on an apple, many see the required investment of emotion, or time, or money, or risk is not WORTH whatever gain may be there, let alone the odds of that gain being the reality.

When someone says 'whats the point?' do you think it may just be a matter of picking their battles, or do you see it only as some cowardly cop out? or is it something in between or different? I think we have all said 'whats the point?" When have you?


Being a landlord for 27 years, I have a lot of judgements where people owe me past rent. I've never received 1 penny from those judgments. I could file it on their credit, have a private investigator track them down and attempt to garnish wages. But it cost me money to put it on their credit, hire a pi, to garnish wages. I would quickly spend more than they owe me. It's more trouble than it's worth. Some people move from house to house trying to get as much free rent as they can. I have a friend who didn't evict until they were behind 5 months. I get a deposit equal to one months rent. It makes it difficult to get very much free rent.

Facebook might help you. I have Facebook friends who advertise wanting to cut grass, pressure wash, cut hair, etc. I also see people asking for recommendations on someone who can stain decks, plumbing, etc. I sold some blocks on Facebook Monday and was shocked at how quick I got a response. Good luck

I want someone who takes care of themself. They don't have to be in perfect shape but I don't want a man who looks like he is pregnant.

I want a man who is independent and financially secure. He doesn't have to be rich but if my 25 year old son is better off than the 50 year old man trying to date me, there is a problem.

I want him to be able to do "man's work" around the house. Cut grass, fix the lawnmower, fix a leaky faucet. Men want a woman who cleans house and can cook. He should handle his role.

I want him to be fun and adventurous. Road trip, new restaurant, take a new class, learn a new hobby etc. If all he wants to do is eat and screw, we have a problem.

I want him to be charming. I want him to open doors and pick up the check. Bring me flowers. Not some thing he has to do every time he sees me but if coming over and eating up all my groceries is all he wants to do, we have a problem.

I want him to be honest. Sometimes I think liars lie just because they can. I don't want someone who i can't trust.

I want him to be smart. Doesn't have to be a rocket scientist but he must be able to have conversations about some thing besides sex and gossip.
