The issues are too thick in here. I can't breathe!!!!!

Man, I try not to post (for fear of persecution), but I can't help reading this stuff...this is internet CRACK!

I soooo agree! Especially the Christian sorority thread.

Hope you have not been beating up little kids lately!

"Oscar-caliburs" is hitting it right on the nose. You're absolutely right. These jokers will act as long as they can, depending on the woman, and how bad he wants it from her. Most women fall right for it and give it up and then the joker only starts to call her at 2 and 3am. The classic "booty call".:rolleyes:

There's way too much of this mess going on today, so I give up. I'll just sit back and watch these trifling jokers catch Aids and every other STD.

Such a refreshing break...BTW, I want to show off my new siggy...:D

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

LMAO.:D Nupe, where do you get these sigs? Yours have all been good but that one is the best one so far. :)

Phi Nupie

All of my sigs have been KAPPAtivating originals...I actually borrowed the concept for this one from a popular song that I hear all the time now (it has actually grown on me), but as we NUPES always do, I had to add my own flavor to the lyrics:D

Me? Arrogant? Never...more like "Accentuating the Positive"!:D

^^^Is that a "no" on my prototype request?:(

Don't say "any of the other rides"...we might be in jail for Corporate Fraud!:D Congrats again!

Hahaha...I was joking. I like read somewhere that domestic violence happens the most in les relationships, followed by gay, and then straight relationships. Something about women not being socialized as much as men, not to hit their partners.

This thread is still going on. :o

Can't a girl dream sometimes..lol...:)

LMAO. :D

Thanks Nupe.

Peace be still...runs out laughing!

Hey now, you brought it up:) I will say this has been a very interesting discussion.

Hmm, well, I base my opinion on the different things I've learned through research over the years and I grew up in a christian household and church.
My idea of "submitting" comes from the same teachings. I understand what you're getting at though.:)

You're silly for that signature.

Long story short (since this topic is actually a really in depth one):

I don't think it has to do with being "playas for life" or the typical relationship concerns that people in this thread are discussing. It has to do with extra-familial factors such as commitment to careers that makes men and women (surprisingly, women of particular races encounter this even more than men do) end up 30+ and unmarried. People want to be educationally and professionally established before starting a family. And unfortunately there tends to be a dichotomy between work and family so it's difficult to successfully have and be commited to both. Back in the day, the black community was (even more) disproportionately undereducated, underemployed in professional fields, and not of the middle to upperclass. So of course people would be focused on the one thing they thought they could focus on and be successful in: family.

The gender and race literature and research spell this out quite well.

Now I wish that we could get more people to remember that "starting a family" includes having children. If you don't want to settle down with one person yet because of professional or whatever concerns, don't have children either. Do your best to keep all of your eggs in one basket. With exception given to extenuating circumstances.

amen

:)....my aunt calls them scalawags...:D:D

I think we ought to start sending people to GC...they'll learn everything they need to know...:)
