Well. That was a rather...forceful entry, now wasn't it?

You do realize of course, that it's people with your exact mentality that are responsible for the perpetuation of hatred. Honestly, grudges are lame and will eventually weigh you down.

Granted you know how to hit nerves with many people, but that's not necessarily a good thing. All I can say about this without going off on a tangent is that I'm appalled by your ignorance and lack of perception.

well im going to have to play devil's advocate here and take the poster's side because the destruction of language of which she speaks really pisses me off, too. but mostly because it's used by retarded 13 year old girls and sexually unsure adolescent boys for no apparent reason, as she suggested. for example, "boyz" instead of "boys" doesn't save time or space, so the only reason to do it would be becuase you are mentally retarded. But also the TogGlE case and the squiggle asterisks are another pet peeve, for the same reason ( ... )

Thanks for posting this reply. I absolutely agree with your interpretation. I personally would not call people mentally retarded because I think it's derogatory, but I catch your meaning and think it is quite apt.

well thank you for actually taking the time to read this and not just reading the word "ghetto" and calling me a racist.

I realize no rapper has ever posted an album like that, but there have been artists (and i'm not just saying rappers) that have named songs in that way.

but anyway, thank you for getting the point.

Sheesh you sure got a lot of flack for that post. I happen to be in agreement with your sentiment, and I even find miraculously that I can hate what people do without hating people. Isn't that neat?

Anyway I added you because I like your penguin.

Preach to the Quior My Sista wit a Big Booty!
(Well, I don't actually know if you have a big booty, or if you are a sister, and apparently the quior isn't listening)

I agree whole heartedly with your post!
I think you got the association wrong, I think the particular "slang" you use as an example is "EMO" ir "Indie" or something, but what you said works for the "Fo Schizzle My Nizzle" crowd as well.

Excellent post!...

p.s.
Why are there so many "Anonymous" posters responding here?

If people feel that strong about their opinnion, then wouldn't they want people to know it was them? Or is it that they don't REALLY believe what they are saying and just want to create Drama?...

maybe becuz those people did not necessarily have a LJ account! i came across this and shared it with others and they dont have LJ so they posted anonymous. we all stand strongly behind what we wrote but wouldn't create an account simply to reply to something when we can reply without doin so. we are not creating drama just for the hell of it. just voicing our opinions.
