Why are you sad to hear about hatred?? Christianity is hatred too. Do you somehow exclude yourself from that "box"??



lol, missing the point a bit?

YES, I am excluding myself from any BOX, as I am actually too complex to be so simply defined,,,

christianity isnt hatred, christianity is a religion, one which attracts both hateful AND loving people,,,


Of course you exclude yourself. Trying to somehow say that you are not a part of a hate filled group is not how others see you though.



really? Id like to know what 'others' see me as hateful,,,,



after reading the entire thing, i wouldn't say hateful exactly but judgemental, condesending, closeminded and basically refusing to even consider someone else's point may be slightly true cause you always seem to be right.

But, just my opinion and im sure that im wrong to like everyone else.



opinions arent right or wrong , they are just how people feel

I am curious who you feel I judged or condescended to, as I honestly feel as if I only RESPONDED to the judgements of others who were condescending to me

starting with someone railing me about receiving assistance and implying I had no 'pride'
I will go back through though to see what you may have seen differently,,,,thanx

the first post I made 'these threads are sure proof positive of that,,,,pedantic bigots can be the most annoying '


was not judging anyone in particular,, just an observation of a BEHAVIOR that does annoy me(being bigoted or believing bigotry is enlightened)

OH BIG WORDS!

I am likewise annoyed by Bleeding Heart Liberals who think America has some obligation to help every cause that cuts across our path.

I also am annoyed at how thick headed and ignorant people can be trying to get them to see that handouts are not going to help.

I also am annoyed that many claiming the rest of us to be 'barbaric' are nothing but self indulgent idiots who think they are smarter than the rest of us.

I also am annoyed that no matter how hard I try to see their point of view I see FAR too many holes in their arguments and their lack of taking into account the dark side of human nature.

I judge individually. When it comes to making judgment calls I try to get my facts together. It isn't like I just hate or dislike anything just becasue I am a hater. I hate all humanity! This species sucks and I am human! I have a huge list of why humans are so terrible, but some of us try to be better than the rest of the pack of Baboons who call themselves civilized!

On top of that I am tired of the arrogance of these same Bleeding Hearts! Most of them cannot even give a simple answer without some snitty comment in it.

I am so annoyed at people who think they are so smart and enlightened and shoot their mouths off at what should be when the world itself will not let it happen!

Bunch of Sycophants!

I was always told it is better to be pissed off than pissed on.:thumbsup:

Seems some folks are so caught up in their own delusions that they piss themselves off.

Nobody can help them but themselves.

ok, so upon review of the threads, because how I treat others DOES matter to me,,this is what I found


1.my first post on the topic was this:

I dont condone laziness, but i dont condone broad assumptions and character judgements about how lazy or unwilling to work people are who dont happen to have traditional income'


I dont see it as judgemental of any one in particular, just my opinion of behavior I find intolerable


2. The first PERSONALLY judgemental posts by SOMEONE ELSE (directed towards me)

'Good for your son! At least the boy as some kind of drive. I respect the young man. Now, why don't you have a job?'

here is where it started to become PERSONAL ( I think my responses to this were pretty much justified),, so I will skip the rest of the 'conversation' with this person,,,,


3. A post by ME which was judgmental (my apologies to the working folks)

'people with jobs now kill me, seriously, because you have the fortune of employment you have NO clue what it is to be looking for a job NOW,,'

NOW THIS was judgmental and I apologize
I should have said 'those fortunate enough to have jobs and LOOK DOWN on the unemployed kill me'


4. Another personally judgemental post by SOMEONE else addressed to me

'But the biggest difference between the two of us and you? We can look ourselves in the mirror much easier. We know that our next meal..WE paid for. Our house/apartment..WE paid for'


more of the judgemental drivel I continued to RESPOND to(not initiate)


5. A post by ME

'as to the rest, while I dont always agree with the approach, Dragoness point is valid and logical '

..agreeing with ONE point dragoness was making and not condescending to anyone,,


6. A personally judgemental and INSULTING post directed to me by someone else

'You and dragoness are tag team dummies!'

more condescending and insulting words that I RESPONDED to (not initiated)


7. More of the same from SOMEONE ELSE to ME

'You are SO BUGIE!'

More of the same personal name calling that caused my RESPONSES,,,

8. A Post made by me to try to address the closedminded judgmentalism

'you make this personal with the name calling, I dont assume anything about you except that you seem sad, isolated, and angry(at the wrong people) '

ok I ended up making a personal judgement, in response to a string that had already been made about me and (by association) dragoness

9. A baiting post by SOMEONE ELSE directed at ME and DRAGONESS specifically

'I really hope if the modes see this BS they call the right people on this! Dragoness and MSharmony! BOTH OF YOU ARE BAITING PEOPLE AND I AM CALLING YOU BOTH ON THAT RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!

BOTH OF YOU OWE US ALL AN APOLOGY!

BOTH OF YOU HAVE JUST SET EQUALITY BACK TO THE MID 1700s!

YOU TWO ARE SHAMELESS!
'

this, after a whole page of me responding to the QUESTIONS
others posted,,,,



Ok. so with respect to your observations kimjo, I appreciate your honesty about your feelings and I have sincerely reviewed the conversaions once more. I mainly had discourse with two people, both of whom (from what I see) continuously attacked and belittled me.

I dont approve of hatefulness or closedmindedness but this is a forum to post opinions which I do 95 percent of the time without making it personal against anyone. This time, others made it personal and I simply responded in defense of my own self. I will continue to be cautious in how I respond to people, but I feel no need to hold back when others attack my character or my integrity or my honesty. I am peaceful, but I am no doormat.

thank you for your honesty though and thank you for presenting it without the personal insults ,,,

Maybe it's just me.....but I haven't seen anything saying they are forced there or that they are going to leave it looking like a prison.

Until then....I won't fall into fear but I will keep an eye out. When it happens...THEN I will raise a stink.

I agree, the word voluntary makes a big difference and everyone should be able to choose their own items and contracts(including living arrangements)

I personally wouldnt choose such housing as it seems a very unsafe proposition to have a mass population grouped with only one way in and out, bars on the windows, and in buildings that may for some reason have not been GOOD enough to jail prisoners anymore,,,

but I also dont think its safe to repeatedly torture ones kidneys with alcohol, and I wouldnt interfere with anyones personal choice to do that either,,,

I agree with you MsHarmony. I know many who have gone through JobCorp. Not my thing but if that is something they feel they need...then go for it.

I just haven't seen where this is going to remain a prison with bars etc or that it is being forced.

It could be that they are just using something that isn't being used and might renovate it.

Until I see different, I'm not going to get up in arms about it.

Im with you on that, many more things that are higher on my personal list of priorities,,, but it is an interesting topic to discuss

People don't realize how prisons are built.

It is two foot thick cement in floors and walls making it almost impossible to alter in any way.

8x10 rooms are not big enough for families to live in.

The windows if existence are inches in size.

So removing bars doesn't make it any better

I am well aware of how prisons are. They can still be renovated. Maybe it's not meant for families.

But if it's voluntary....then that is their choice to make. They can decide not to do it.

Until then...I won't get up in arms over it

do not get me wrong, minorities like myself can and do achieve IN SPITE of the history , but it doesnt mean the affects of the history should not be addressed and dealt with





Minorities like myself...

Like I said, you ARE just as much a part of the problem in your thinking as many others are.

So that is how you want me to think of you? The Little person???

I can't see a brother of another color and think of him as a fellow American?

I am supposed to see him as a MINORITY?

THAT IS A BULK OF MY PROBLEM WITH YOU AND OTHERS WHO THINK LIKE YOU!

Oh but maybe that is just too complicated for you to understand????

THAT IS THE VICTIM COMPLEX SPEAKING!

In real life there is no such thing as a level play field. No matter how level you try to make things people will find and capitalize on loopholes for their own self interest and benefit.

This IS the exact **** that leads one population base to oppress others like in Animal Farm when the pigs took over. Affirmative Action was exactly like the rule "No animal shall sleep in a bed with covers unless you are a pig."

Your thinking just creates a different hate cycle instead of breaking it once and for all.

You also cannot gently force people into thinking like you. That Ghandi sh** flies about as far as a stone when put in the face of adversity. Ever hear the phrase "You can tell the real nature of a person after you have tortured them?" I believe that came from The Book of War by Tzu. The whole "Using a prison for housing poor people" thing is a weak excuse to justify treating poor people badly. Fact is Beggars should never be choosers! If a prison is converted to temporary housing so what? At least they have a place to sleep instead of the street. What, we need to but them up in the Builtmore and serve them Surf and Turf for dinner? Maybe offer them a spa and a Olympic pool too?

They are lucky to not get stuffed in sweat shops and worked like animals in factories like other countries do in the guise of "Prison Labor" like in China! This country bends over backwards to help compared to Most other countries INCLUDING EUROPE! The problem is too many of them are milkers whining about what they will and will not do for work. I have a lot more respect for a black man willing to take any job to just make a honest living than all the white people crying about how they cannot find management positions and other white collar jobs!

I am sorry but the whole POOR mentality really pisses me off becasue I see those among me in the same boat really putting up a good fight but fighting a loosing battle. I also see others who are happy as long as they got Beer, (Their favorite party favors, Meth, Oxycotin, Demerol, Heroin, Crack...) TV, and Pu@@y! they could give a fuque less about paying bills, soaking off of everyone, and not giving a damn about anyone else other than themselves.

If we are going to rise above we need to teach people to stop thinking poor but in order to do that our own government needs a good cleaning out of all the Victocrats selling us out to a socialist agenda and the Fuquing UN who should be kissing our AZZES and not the other way around! We need responsibility instead of everyone passing the buck and smoke screening assistance as oppression!

EGHAD!

IT'S ALL BS!

being a minority and being a little person have nothing to do with each other,, but what I want you to see me as has little to do with how you will choose to see me so thats besides the point

I hate noone, I am sorry that my aknowledgement of my social status as a racial minority upsets you so, or if you are so troubled by my personal outlook that all people be treated with dignity and respect regardless of financial situation

but I hate noone,I wish no ILL WILL on anyone(especially not because of financial status) and if you do find evidence to the contrary, please let me know,,,and I will re assess my behavior/positions

I aknowledge my obstacles, such as gender and race and financial status, but that makes me realistic and not a victim at all

victims DWELL on obstacles, Survivors overcome them, but we cant overcome what we refuse to aknowledge,,,

I do not intend to or try to force anyone to believe as I do, that would be foolish, I only share my opinions here in this forum, as I believe is the whole point of HAVING a forum


best of luck to ya,,,

frowned upon sharing a bed with children? I doubt the modern bedroom arrangements were common in biblical days


Seriously. People are so caught up in their provincial cultural perspective they have no idea what might be 'natural' for human beings. For unrelated people of different ages to sleep together - non-sexually - has been common in many cultures.

IMO, the real perverts are the people who think that sharing a bed is inherently sexual.

oh please...he was a perverted child molester and you know it
if your thinking that it was ok for him to have kids he didn't know lay with him in his bed, then pay off the parents to keep quite, your just the same as him...

oh please...he


Mighty - please take a look at the series of comments here. Someone suggested that there is something wrong with sharing a bed with children. I have deliberately extracted a particular statement which I disagree with.

I assert that this is a very limited and provincial viewpoint, as sharing a bed is not sexual. I really do think that there is something wrong with someone who automatically assumes that a sharing a bed is sexual.

Nothing in any of the statements in my post is a comment on MJ, neither for nor against. ( I assume by 'he' you mean MJ).

Lets keep statements in their context. If you or anyone else wants to reasonably criticize MJ, you/they can do so with specifics and not invoke such bizarre and unhealthy notions as 'sharing a bed is automatically sexual'.


he was a perverted child molester and you know it


No, actually, I don't know this. This is the course I try to take anytime anyone is accused of anything. What do I personally, directly, know? He may have been. He may have been sick in other ways. I can sympathize with your position, but I admit that he may also have been innocent.


if your thinking that it was ok for him to have kids he didn't know lay with him in his bed


"ok"? I think its a little weird, and highly suspicious. Just because I strongly believe that its perfectly fine for other non-related adults and children to sleep non-sexually together doesn't mean it was okay for MJ to do so. I wasn't there; for all I know, it may have been very wrong.


, then pay off the parents to keep quite,


Was he hiding from a criminal act, or hiding from something else? Trying to keep people quiet doesn't make you guilty.


your just the same as him...
