How is the association to negatives mentally forced on you? If somebody could mentally force something upon you they should have mentally forced you to get jobs, take care of your kids and stop breaking the law.

If you would do the right thing the negatives would not exist and you would not be associated with the negatives.

Has anyone ever told you that you REALLY need to get a life? I know, I know, I should just ignore you, but it just blows my mind that a person actually gets a kick out of coming to a fraternity and sorority message board to try to get a rise out of people by making racist comments. It's kinda sad, actually. Why don't you try knitting or something?

ETA: HA!! I just saw a thread (that I had never seen before) in which KSUViolet told him to try knitting as well. I guess great minds think alike
