Just because you are a size 2 does not mean that you are in shape

I could not have said this better. I had no clue what to add to this thread. Glad, I didn't need to. ClassyLady, you hit the nail on the head. Yes, I went to an HBCU but I chose it and I only started partying (not even every weekend) when i was a senior.

I wear nice things, but i have a job and a 401(k). Thank you.

Yea I'm a 4 (just graduated from the realms of 0,2) but stop asking me whether I work out every day or run track every day. I do neither. And PLEASE stop taking me to the mall and picking out outfits for me to wear. If you want a doll to play dress up with, go buy a dang Barbie.

Phew... I guess I needed to get that off my chest.

Not everyone will graduate from college in 4 years.

And just because someone doesn't graduate in 4 years, it doesn't mean they couldn't. (Program requrements, changing majors, etc...)

Like me, too. Favorite band is U2 (though I had this serious Ministry/Pantera phase back in the mid 90s), and my friends used to call me "Model UN" because I dated men of all ethnicities. Fineness knows know color.

yea i know what you mean. i hate when people just assume you think you're better than they are or standoffish just because you don't talk to them. i mean if i knew you, i would say hi. but my mother taught me not to talk to strangers.

i loathe when people mistake my confidence and openness about sexuality and sex for promiscuity. just because i'm not a frigid being who's afraid of saying "sex," doesn't mean i've had 20 or 30 partners.

and just for the record, even if i did have that many partners (i don't) who cares... there are men that have sex with a different woman every day and they are considered stallions, sowing their wild oats. i hate that double standard. what is good for men, should be good for women.

feminist rant over.

not all people who shop at stores like gucci, versace, and hugo boss buy their items with cash. . .too many times i have seen people with bags and bags of stuff paying for it with a credit card. . .

Yeah!

Just because someone is homeless doesn't mean they are lazy, crazy, or not worthy of decent treatment and respect. They are still human beings...

Just because someone is on welfare doesn't mean they are lazy, milking the government, don't want to work, or, again, unworthy of respect...They are down on their luck. You or I could be next!

just because someone is a movie star doesn't mean that they don't have to pay for stuff. . .

Naaw, SM. I didn't see this isht.

On another message board I frequent, one of the correspondents saw an advance screening of it and said it was a steaming pile of caca. Since I have Digital Cable at home, I rarely go and see any movies these days.
