No one is trying to micromanage your ass...the problem with YOU is that you don't like it when someone who HAS a strong opinion stands UP for their opinion DESPITE the others here WHO DISAGREE...YOU need to feel with that shit or maybe YOU need to shut up!

You should consider that sometimes! You come along and say DS is lame just because I express myself and hold true to what I feel...you don't like it...fuck you and what YOU like...I ain't changing for you to I can be like you or be LIKED by you.

So what Chaos? SO THE FUCK what? You don't like my character? You don;t like the fact that i have a strong attitude and strong opinion on topics? maybe that's what it is....hmmm...


You aren't used to others stealing your shine...Black People aren't monolithic? Right and newsflash, the world doesn't rotate around you either.

Like you are perfect? Like just because you have your you don't give a shit attitude you think you are hot shit? Hmmph...wake up.


I can think beyond my comfort zone and guess what I know how to zero in right on the fuck I want to zero in and if it makes you uncomfortable, so be it. You DON't HAVE to address me!

This isn't DSTCHAOS Chat, THIS IS GREEKCHAT, we all have the right to talk about whatever we want, WHEN we want, and we all the right to step THA' HELL OFF when we want and you can try that talking down bullshit with others but you sure as hell need to know it's not working here.

Ok...let's keep that shit straight.

Then save your emotions and your irrationality for your therapist.

ETA: And certainly stop typing long posts to me. I treat them like I treat Obama's speeches. Click.

It seemed cute to me, but I've never been on one personally.

And your brother is going what he can to stimulate the economy with that purchase.

ETA: I'm backing away quietly from this thread now. . .

That's because instead of your dumb ass talking about the issue, you waste time trying to put others down to try and make yourself look good.

and I am not demeaning you for your difference in opinion but I WILL disagree with you because you try to find fault with me for wanting to discuss it.

I knew you didn't know what we disagreed on or if we disagreed on anything besides the OP/ED piece. All of that anger for nothing.

I'm just trying to figure out when DrPhil got minions. I feel like most people could take or leave her posts just like they could mine or any number of people.

The thing is, DS, your opinions are not especially strong, DrPhil be damned. If your fall back when someone disagrees is that they need to do research or go look something up, well, that's not really on them.

UGAalum (who will always be alphagamuga to me, said like one word lol) and I don't particularly agree politically, but I think because her approach is more Socratic, I can appreciate where she's coming from.

The KSig twins (dammit, sometimes I still don't know which one I'm talking to -- are you the guys from GI Joe or what?) and I also have divergent opinions, but somehow we're able to relay our thoughts without coming from this "space" that seems so incredibly challenging to penetrate.

In short, I never feel condescended by any of the three people I listed above, and for all I know, they're as white as the driven snow. I can find commonality with them without telling them to go read a book or something.

It seems to me that maybe, just maybe, GreekChat isn't the place for you to have these strong opinions -- you're well within your right to give them, but really, the sweethearts, babies, dears, and bitches are for special occaisions and this isn't one of them.

In other words, I don't often come to GC to have these staunch opinions one way or the other. I VERY rarely (especially nowadays) bother to give a well thought out reply to anything political here. I'm here to be adored by the people who think I'm hot and then be out.

Try it. I'm sure some people here think you're a hottie, too.

[DrPhil]

I used to always dismiss people as needing to do research or not understanding. I think I've gotten better as I've become more exposed to different points of view with and without the research and understanding to back it up.

I am only following your example "click"

You went back and read....I guess you aren't entirely devoid of emotions

No, I didn't read the rest of your post.

My attention span is short when it comes to you

Not sure what you mean right here... But whatever... Uhhhh, I guess Yes?

[agzg]

I was enjoying talking about agzg brother and SIL and their recent four wheeler purchase. So I'll just go back to that.

Yes. He was stimulating the economy. If my SIL gets on that thing before July it'll probably stimulate her early labor.

It's purple!

Well, I guess all I was trying to suggest is that some of us may talk more freely online than we would in real life.

ETA: if you all were over at my house, and one person was having the emotionally intense reaction that DS was having, I think the conversation would move on to something else pretty quick. I'd also be really worried that those of you who are Black/African American would think that I only wanted to grill you for opinions about racial stuff.
