YOU ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS...unfortunately most women won't see it that way. Being difficult, argumentative, unrelenting, and untactful aren't positive qualities. You make mistakes, but all hell breaks loose if I point them out. A mature woman knows that everything doesn't need to be her way and everything doesn't need to be said. These R&B chicks done got you fooled. Those are just songs, not a way to live your life. If you are proud to be a "handful," please don't ever darken my door...because you might get your feelings hurt.

Ladies, please...stop posting shit like that.

Never waste your time praying that God change someone's heart or mind or love you again. I know folks like to think that God can do anything, but if he could, wouldn't a power like that be better served ending murderous conflicts around the world instead of your love life? Just imagine, he's about to stop the standoff between North Korea and everyone, but he has to drop everything because you can't accept the fact that your significant other left you. I know lots of people say, "God is Good," but you don't know if God is good at multitasking.

And if he had the power to change hearts just like that, wouldn't you want him NOT to use it? A power like that surely counts as voodoo or witchcraft; tools of the Devil, and using them will condemn him to Hell. All because you can't get over the idea that you're going to be alone again.
Why do people who own pit bulls act like their dogs are the victims of a negative propaganda blitz at the hands of the Pomeranian/German Shepherd lobby? Let's just face facts: Studies show that no other breed has mauled more small children than pit bulls. Studies also show that no other breed makes grown men fill their boxers with logs than pit bulls, and that's not by accident. I don't care how sweet pit bull owners claim their dogs are, they are still VIOLENT AND SOULLESS KILLERS STRAIGHT FROM HELL.

If pit bulls are so unfairly portrayed, then why aren't there any other breeds who get painted this way. The only other dogs that I've ever heard of people being afraid of are dobermans, and that's because in the 80s (you know, before the rappers made everyone think they wanted pit bulls), those were the deranged, killer dogs of choice. Everyone was afraid of them because, well, they bit people. We sure had some kooky ideas back then, being afraid of dogs that we knew would bite us. What was wrong with people?

But you never hear about boxers or Jack Russell terriers ever having to be put down after acquiring a taste for human flesh. And that's because it never happens, since those dogs don't have a bloodlust. Or maybe they do and I've just never seen it. But the difference between those dogs and pit bulls is that the bloodlust isn't hovering so close to the surface. Pit bulls can go from zero to "killed everyone in the house" in seconds.

Pit bull owners claim that their dogs are the sweetest dogs in the world, they wouldn't hurt anyone, and that it's all about how your dogs is trained. To a degree, that's true, but you'll excuse me if I don't feel comfortable putting my life in your hands and your ability to break your dog's desire for independent thought. Most people can't even stop their dog from jumping on the couch or piddling on shoes, so you can see why I just don't believe you when you say that you've rid him of his natural urge to plunge his fangs into my jugular.

Seriously, I get that pit bulls can be sweet dogs. Doesn't mean everyone's gonna be comfortable around your dog, and that can be any dog. Everyone doesn't like dogs, especially ones that carry a history of being serial killers. So, pit bull owners, just cut everyone else some slack and understand that just because that cute puppy hasn't killed you yet doesn't mean that he won't ever do it. In the meantime, I'll be waiting safely outside, because as far as I know, pit bulls still can't open doors.
I used to think that there was some kind of conspiracy in the music industry, that there was a dark, underhanded plot to subjugate the masses with ignorant music. That our people only listened to that stuff because there were no other options and that, given the chance, they would choose the more intelligent and creative fare that the recording industry is trying to extinguish, because the inevitable revolution against the rich is being derailed...by bad music.

Now, I realize how ridiculous that sounds.

Truth is, there is no conspiracy. No one's forcing folks to buy Yung Dro CDs. They buy it because they like it. To believe anything else is giving the average person entirely too much credit. Let's face it, if shows like "The Real Housewives of Lithonia" can be a hit, then it shouldn't shock us that chicks who wear meat dresses are music stars. There isn't a conspiracy against Little Brother videos. BET just knows their audience. And their audience doesn't care that Hurricane Chris was a complete embarrassment to black people.

I can understand blaming corporations for selling substandard food because it's cheaper to produce than the healthy stuff and ignorant people won't know the difference. After all, we have to eat that stuff. I can see blaming corporations for their oil prices or non-working brakes. Cutting corners on safety measures when throwing up a building. I get that. It makes sense. They won't spend money to make better stuff if they don't have to.

But music is different, because it's not vitally important that we have it; not unless you're an overly dramatic person who actually says things like, "I would DIE without good music." Then, you're probably an asshole. It's based on your personal taste and what you've been exposed to. I know that growing up, most black people were exposed to a lot of the same types of music, and yet, many of us still don't want anything to do with Lil Wayne. If it were an exact science, more black people would be into Metallica.

So, from that perspective, blaming the RIAA or RadioOne or ClearChannel for the decline in music isn't really accurate, because they don't shape peoples' tastes. If you don't like something, no amount of shoving it down your throat is going to make you like it. It's why rape victims never fall in love with the rapist.

Sure, the current music is cheaper to make and easier to mass produce than, say...giant bands with horn sections or artists who are trying to make colors emit from sound. Yes, it benefits the corporations for things to be like they are, but they're really just chasin' them dollars by giving the people what they want. And evidently, what they want includes a repetitive hook, a guest appearance from Nicki Minaj, and lots of Autotune.
As high school boys everywhere can attest, getting into a 16 year old girl's pants when she isn't really ready is a Herculean effort that requires no less than lies and emotional manipulation, otherwise it just ain't going down. For a grown man to take advantage of that is disgusting. But for a grown woman to do the same, well...boys just don't roll like girls.

Look, teenage boys spend all of their teenage years trying to put their crotches on things, and the saddest part about that is, being human isn't always a requirement. The mind of a teenage boy is a messed up place, which is why there are true-life stories of boys putting their dicks in anything from toilet paper rolls to scalding hot pies (I HAVE NEVER DONE SUCH THINGS). So if a grown woman wants to have sex with them, not a stitch of manipulation is required, because he would basically be living out 90% of his masturbation fantasies, anyway.

Simply put, sleeping with teenage boys is not the same thing as sleeping with teenage girls. Not even close. It's wrong both ways, but in one of those situations, the so-called victim is actively seeking for the sex to happen. There won't be any emotional scarring or mental setbacks for any teenage boy, no matter what the outcome is. I mean, unless he happened to be sleeping with another man.

So ladies, just bear with us if we don't share your same level of outrage when some hot female teacher gets caught sleeping with a student. To us, that kid is just living the dream.
