what

anyone that thinks that no other state or country doesn't have it tough is wrong. people have had to develope tough skins all over the world....doesn't mean it has to be negative.




no one said other places don't HAVE IT tough.. there we go again - reading into something I said... it is the attitude around you that can INFECT you. Regardless of where your from.. from one place to the next, people do have "different ways" ~ IT IS A FACT. Geez! This is not a Political debate! It was about people giving eachother COMMON RESPECT and offering 100% in a MUTUAL CONNECTION...

did you miss that altogether?

i'm a very blunt person, but I try to do it in a positive way. you can be blunt and let someone know how the cow ate the cabbage without being brash or appear rude

there is a difference in the approach


Where's the fun in THAT??


the fun is when someone makes me mad laugh

then i put my sh!t kickers on laugh

Now now guys and dolls.....we all have our own ways of coming across to other people.....

There is definitely a cultural difference between the southerners and the northerners...it is what it is.

I for one ain't got enough info and face to face experience with kre8tv to cast any judgements....I will say from my military days that when I first encountered yankees...I did think they were hostile and rude...but, after getting to know them....it was nothing intentional...simply a result of that culture.

That being said.....

Best of luck honey.



Krupa well said! That's why I luv ya, baby.....everyone has a difference of opinions, and everyone should respect that, also, take into consideration that people have been through different things in their lives to form those opinions.
If you read my profile it has some REALLY specific things in it that has been misconstrued as rude and negative.....but ya know what?
To bad! I have had to do this as a updating thing since I started on this site. Comes down to what I wrote in my profile.
The OP here has a point and even though other's don't agree, there may circumstances that have led her to write her profile the way it is......I say...way to stand up for your self!!! WOO HOO!!!!!:banana:

for the record....i am VERY blunt. but I show people respect until they lose my respect. then I can get as mean as anyone. But I show the same respect to others that I would expect for myself

I can be blunt with respect

I have not won over many a people here with my do-gooder-personality ( like I have one of those! HAH!) and really at this point and any other point in my life, I don't give a crap what people who don't know me think of me!

I know what I want and how to get it, and it sounds like you do too!:banana:

scared You seem a little hostile and negative. Even your profile reads that way... scared

Hey, if your attitude helps you find what you seek then more power to ya! drinker


Yes, it's negative.


I guess its an East Coast thing.... the NY Metro area seems to be pretty ok with my "attitude" as you folks have called it...

...but I'm still not getting the negative. It makes sense. Period. If sensibility and logic is negative then wtf is this world coming to NOW?!?!

I'm about as east coast as you can be. Being blunt, direct, and having preferences are good. You have stepped beyond that into negativity.

You know the cliche about not being able to see the forest from trees? Well there ya go...


Yeah Mitch! I was hoping some fellow "east coast" people would defend themselves.


Still trying to figure out who "Mitch" is, as I haven't noticed any folks from the NY Metro area on this thread.... so WHO's defending WHAT?


Mitch is Waterloosunset. He lives in New York. He's on this thread.

He's the one that said, "He's about as east coast as you can be."
