Are there any honest men out there?
Woa... we're sorry! I'm very sorry for what ever has happened to you... I'm sure several times, but it might be slightly unwise to group 50% of the world’s population under one nice big label. Not ALL men are pigs... some are dead lol. Seriously though, I would like to know if there are any honest human beings in the world. I mean lets face it, male or female people can just be very thoughtless and just a*sholes sometimes. I know plenty of girls who never do a single thing for them selves but instead just use their sexuality to get guys to do things for them, and once she gets it he never hears from her again and is left feeling about women very similar to what you feel about guys. Another thing that strikes me, and please don't think I'm referring to you every single person is different, but a lot of girls I know are constantly complaining about guys being assholes but at the same time steering clear of every NICE guy that comes her way. So obviously if she only dates pigs who else is she going to know? Or girls who turn up at the bar dressed in clothes so small that the label that says how to wash it is larger then the rest of the outfit! She turns all the heads and feels attractive but no guy is going to care about what kind of personality she has, because that’s just not the message she's sending. And finally I'll admit to you, as a young hormonal male (who obviously can't shut up =P) that yes I am sexually attracted to pretty much anything in a skirt with a pulse, and yes I am sure that some girls out there have a lot of painful memories that I am guilty of causing. But one of the best relationships I've ever had was with a girl who I found actually VERY unattractive, but I just couldn’t get enough of the mind behind it. Guys get a kick out of making a girl happy, if the girl makes him happy, it's a trade off.
Are people taking Latoya Jackson seriously now that MJ is dead?
Hunny, La Toya never married Tommy Mottola; she married her manager, Jack Gordon and he was the person who was out to destroy the reputation of the Jacksons. However, La Toya always struck me as a publicity whore when Michael was alive, and it certainly hasn't changed now. I mean, come on - co-hosting the View for a couple of days after your still going through such a traumatic death.... I mean, that's tacky. I can 'forgive' some of the interviews or look past them, but her appearance on the View just kind of cemented the fact that she's still out for as much publicity as she can get. And I still think she's a bucket of crazy - I mean, okay, she believes that someone murdered Michael. I'll let that slide, but saying that Michael had absolutely no responsibility with what happened is just not true. Yes, of course the majority of it falls with the doctors who just threw their ethics out the window to serve Michael Jackson, but at the same time, I believe Michael had a moral responsibility to his children to have tried to stay healthy. And what I mean is; Michael had three children and he was their only parent - I know that he was in severe pain all the time but he simply shouldn't have risked it. He knew of the dangers of taking those drugs, but he did it anyway. That's why I don't agree with La Toya's statement; in the end, while they should have known to say no, the doctors didn't force those drugs on him, he wanted them badly enough. I don't know, people seem to be taking La Toya seriously now that Michael's gone - but she's only getting all these interviews because she is Michael's sister. She still hasn't changed though, IMO. Like Jermaine, I think she's trying to milk Michael's death for as much as she can get.
But seriously. If I legally bought the Mona Lisa, COULD someone stop me from eating it?
Well, if you did, we'd stand there and laugh as the thing poisoned you and you began to die in agony.
Why must we respect the dead?
You don't HAVE to do anything but take up space. For the longest time our social mores were determined by what the majority felt was 'right,' correct, proper, and moral. In the past few decades, people have been examining social habits and looking a the validity of those habits, comparing one to another, especially when ideas such as "respect" for the dead and honesty don't quite match up. Some of this examination has led to a relaxing of common courtesies, manners and etiquette, and other acts of respect. At a wake, it's about the surviving family, not the deceased, have respect for them, even if you had none for the guy. You don't have to lie, but you don't have to destroy their image and illusions about them. I'm sure the guy had a few redeeming qualities and wasn't a total @$$hole all the time to everyone. I agree that people are what they are, or in this case were; so fall back on what you were taught as a kid, if you can't say something nice about someone.....(come sit by me!)
Sometimes I treat my girlfriend badly to keep her interested?
I'm her third boyfriend. She's gorgeous and I do love her. But I never tell her, I never am really affectionate, and I treat her really badly a lot of the times, embarrass her in front of her friends, call her names and move away when she tries to touch me in public... It's all to keep her interested. We were friends for a while before this, and I had the same policy. Her first two boyfriends were extremely affectionate. She's freaking gorgeous and it's difficult not to. But I know her really, really well and I know she won't stick around if I don't keep her having to try to get me. I feel really bad sometimes, but this is how the relationship works. When we're not in public, we're pretty affectionate. She always tells me all of her problems, how her life is, etc. She's pretty honest with me, and I'm honest with her aside from this little "game" I'm playing. But I don't let myself get TOO affectionate because then she feels like she's already got me and she will move on. I think eventually, after time, I'll be able to give up this act and I'd have established loyalty with her so that she wants to stay with me. However, for the time being, this is what I do. Does that make me a bad person?
Is Freddie really dead?
Okay so I started watching Skins UK and I am on season 4. But I just watched the Effy episode and I'm so upset. Is Freddie really dead? Because he's my #1 favorite character from the 2nd generation and I don't know what I'll do if they killed him because it was bad enough when Chris died because I loved him too and... yeah. I know this is dumb but I'm just really invested in this show and I'm seriously going to be mad if another one of my favorite characters died.
