Fat people and being a christian

[ilovemyglo]

Wow!

I sort of agree with Cashmoney.

My family was POOR growing up. Three kids, no college education and instead of going on welfare my father had three jobs to maintain our family and have a LITTLE left over to save. Over time he worked his ass off and was promoted at his company. But until then it was second hand clothes from the DAV, no cable, cost cutter brand EVERYTHING, and no car for my mom. We grew up in the poor neighborhood where middle class families felt the need to lock their doors when driving in. My mom worked at the daycare so we could go to a decent school- that was the only way. My brothers and I worked our asses off in school from the time we started through high school- my brothers went on to college where they ended up in debt to pay for their school. By the time I started my parents could afford to help me out.
Now they are both successful engineers, my father has worked his way to being one of the top sales people in his company and I have a great job myself.

We CHOSE not to sit back and feel sorry for ourselves. No one helped my parents. No one offered them a hand up and yet they took it UPON THEMSELVES to get off their asses and make their lives better.

And then there is someone like my roomie.She grew up with a lot of money in Florida. She never had to so much as clean her own room. Her dad bought her a new car when she was 16, paid for all of her college, and generally babied her... now she is 25, has had to file for bankruptcy because if she wanted it she thought she HAD to have it but bought everything with credit cards. She can't clean up after herself and she has ONE CLASS left for her degree that she is too lazy to do so she waits tables and makes shit money all the while bitching about her life. How she has put on weight, she has no money and how her stuff isn't as nice as mine. NO SHIT! I worked for my shit.

It is called ethics. If you don't like something about your life, get up off your ass and change it cause no one is going to do it for you... whether it is your weight or financial situation it is up to you to take responsibility.

And as for the guy that said we are the fraternity of the human race, I'd prefer not to rush... why should I work my ass off so some slackass can lay back. If he wants a hand up he needs to get up off his ass, cause I am not leaning down.

That's my $.02

Don't misunderstand me on all this. I'm not saying that its wrong to help out poor people. I have no problem at all helping out Gloria from the church pay her bills because she's in a wheelchair and can't work. What I'm not ok with is forking out money to Tameka Washington in the ghetto because she wanted a bigger welfare check every month and had 5 kids. The most I'll do for Tameka is tell her she better pray one of her kids is a rapper or an NBA star because she's not getting squat from me.

Not to get off subject, but I really hate being stalked by women on GC with what I call "swim fan syndrome".



-And some people wonder why I'm an asshole at times.


ETA: And I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about HotDamnImaPhiMu.

haha...I was going to laugh if it was me. You'd have a very odd definition of stalking if you were talking about me.

Thats the kind of crap I have to put up with being Cashmoney on GC. I shoot a girl down and next thing I know I'm being stalked online.



Where are the Pacific Beach Hookers when you need them?

Cause at my church, which is mostly 30 and under, there's slim pickins in the "cold-cut neck" section. Except one lady who has a thyroid problem, but she had gastric bypass and now even she's got a figure. Other than her, I can't think of anybody who's fat and not over 45.

Well maybe you just go to one of those young Amway churches where people try to mix god with networking. Anyone else ever seen one of those places? Its like everyone there seems like they're used car salesmen.

[ilovemyglo]

There is one of those in Louisville, but it is a church everyone and their brother goes to so that they can see and be seen to make sure everyone knows they are good little Christians, meanwhile half of them are having affairs with other members of the same church.

It's nicknamed Six Flags over Jesus in Louisville...
Here is the wikipedia for it

And the picture

Cash--

Athough you do have some points about folks picking themselves up by their bootstraps and getting up, getting out and getting something. And for some folks, like the retarded, and there are folks who are mentally challenged--and I'm not talking about Down's Syndrome folks--I'm talking about folks that have ADHD, schizophrenia and other undiagnosed illnesses it may be that which stops them from having a motivating lifestyle and jailing them won't make a difference--to them, it's 3 hots and a cot... And yeah, they may have to be Bubba's girlfriend, but it ain't no different from living on the street...

And YES, like the kids in ultra-impoverished countries that sleep on dirt, most of them do not live past 40, if that... And those who DO actually get out to America, and might make it, are actually those who DO have a little something in their country and SOMETIMES, their country helps them achieve what they seek--i.e. Kofi Annan's son, the Islamic Foundation, etc.

Barely few of those folks in the slums in other countries actually "make it" and acheive anything in their country and might not be able to if they run across the border into our country.

And if you have been in the 'hood in Orlando--like yeah, they really have one--okay, Miami has a bonafide 'hood, but Orlando, I just don't buy it--now they might kill a MoFo to rob and steal but to set up a drug syndicate independently and without "connections"--lifting themselves up by their bootstraps in their eyes, I don't think so...

Those folks in the "Orlando" 'hood are really rural country-fied folks set in their ways and haven't changed that much since, since. And with you saying to them "to get off their duffs" might be valid, but there is more to it than that.

Most of those folks cannot work, legally because they are probably felons... Now, they can hang out with the undocumented folks, but for what kind of money? You make more by robbing and stealing... And if you have a felony, really, who's gonna hire you up at Crystal Lake for their chit to get cased?

So, think about the benefits for Ms. Tameka Washington and her nasty assed BeBe kids... The baby's daddies are felons and cain't pay for squat. Tameka got pregnant in the first place at 13 'cuz her uncle's cousin's gang member's boy raped her at her grandmama's house. She ain't never had any kind of prenatal care. And to sooth the pain, her girl told her to "hit" some chit, which landed her into another crack house knocked up, again with twins. And where's the parents in this picture? Dad's been left and dead and probably ain't even her daddy' cuz her dumb assed mother plan forgot which guy it was when she got knocked up with Tameka at 14...

And mama decided that she wanted to give her kids a "Merry Christmas" with a piece of a candy cane from the store and got caught for shoplifting so they pounded her ass into jail when Tameka was 5... Which left the 75 year old grandma with cancer and oxygen to took care of her with 10 other "legal over the age of 18 adults" that aren't all that responsible--and you have a jacked up living situation for many a folk...

Hayle, it is easier for Tameka to shake her stuff and get paid at the tittie bar, and turn tricks while she smoke dope than to get a real job and be somebody... What's the benefit? And as far as giving a FCUK about somebody in Africa... EFF that from Tameka's standpoint... How do you tell that to somebody like her???

Once you are able to come up with a VIABLE solution to that issue, then I dare you to present it to ALL of the NPHC greeks because that is EXACTLY what our main programs are geared to fight against...

The Vicious Cycle...

And many of us have been fighting in this war for a very long time... And we are very, very tired, but not all of us have given up yet...

How do you keep on motivated when all they see is chit? My husband says they NEVER have EVER left their surrounding areas for decades. And what they "think" they know--the street--is ALL they know.

It won't change. It will be the same game. That's just the way it it is...

My family goes to that church that Ilovemyglo is talking about. I went there for years. I absolutely love it. Their services are moving and the sermons are insightful. They relate to everyday things will keeping the focus on God.

@Cashmoney....

you are a mess....that was mean. Maybe she was running late and was in a hurry! You need to think on that one.
