You didn't want to know more, you wanted to get personal. That wasn't necessary to discuss the topic of the song, because it really has nothing to do with it. Someone else started it in post# 63 and you chimed in on it in #78. It was uncalled for, whether you agree with it or not, and it continued. I disagree with people here, but I don't personally attack them to prove my point or have fun at their expense

Jan, you are such a piece of fucking work - now we're quoting post #'s

I DID genuinely want to know more, even IN post 78 (I can't believe I have to explain this) - I think the use of the LOL emoticon is confusing you. But thanks for wiping out everything I said prior to that as if getting personal with you was my goal here (if it was I could have said some snide shit right off the bat, yet I asked a question instead). I didn't downright start @ you until post 138, but I'm not convinced you have a sense of humor so maybe you're just not getting me.

As far as the original "daddy issues" comment being uncalled for, I'm sure YOU think so but I really don't. Mostly b/c it almost didn't need to be said - it's kind of obvious that there's SOMETHING going on with you for it to piss you off so - it's just human nature to have some underlying thing that effects us throughout our lives (or at least until we deal with them, if we even acknowledge them) that stem from some event/person/situation. "daddy issues" seemed mostly likely w/ you - I didn't say it first but I certainly THOUGHT it based on what you said, agreed with it & was dying to see if you'd cop to it (hence the emoticon). Am I supposed to apologize for that or something? Nobody dug up dirt behind your back & reported it here - YOU put information out there & people responded to what you contributed. There's no rule that you have to like the responses or personally approve them before they're posted :::hoping I haven't given you the idea to become a mod::: I'll put it like this: There's what you say, & there's what's being said via what you say. Honestly, I don't think you realize how much you're really saying... I didn't say that very well, did I

Your feelings about the song do indeed stem from some "issues" as do everyone elses - be it daddy issues, mommy issues, sexuality issues, family issues, relationship issues, society issues, WHATEVER - this is what I believe. So when you say it has "nothing to do with the song" it's just not true - your overwhelmingly negative reaction to a pretty positive (as most people see it, damn conformists!) song is being shaped by SOMETHING in your life. Just because you don't see the connection doesn't mean there isn't a connection there. I know, I know: you know yourself, I don't know you, blah blah blah. But I've formed an opinion - deal with it.

Maybe you should post on an imaginary message board so there'll be no follow-ups or replies b/c you don't seem to be handling this whole "public forum" thing well. By the way, I'm most definitely making fun of you in that last sentence - will you try to get THIS thread shut down now? Is my last question valid or invalid?

But I do applaud you for not personally attacking people to get your point across As far as having fun @ the expense of others - I can't applaud you for that b/c it's really fucking fun. I think I'll urge you to try it instead Make me proud!

I'm pretty sure I want this thread to last forever It's so damn interesting, yet NOT @ the same time

I've enjoyed this thread. Now as far as me and Calhoun "making fun of you"...this is definitely playing victim and I think you are hypersensitive about certain things (referencing the thread you deleted your pic and then the thread itself). i was actually trying to give up some advice on that pic thread about not getting so offended when ppl make comments about ya pic and being comfortable in your skin. Hell we've talked about Robin Power and her pics and that chyle posted another booty pic. She actually earned some cool points for that. wheeeeewwww lawd that really made me laugh. to that so-called powerbaby for that one. Malcolm X and all....anyway.


We all have are stuff and its ok laugh and smile at ya stuff.

No one is playing the victim. Facts are facts. People were directly mean-spirited towards me over an opinion. It wasn't a personal opinion about an individual, just an opinion. Maybe you don't believe in the Golden Rule theory, but I do. It's really not appropriate for someone to use another thread to try to make a point against someone. You did that earlier in this thread when you mentioned "other threads." You truly have no clue why that thread was deleted in the first place. I'm completely comfortable in my skin. I could say that based on what you post in p&r, you come across as a woman of faith and someone who tries to live god-like (I completely accept if I wrong on that assumption). However, your attitude and remarks towards me in this thread would tell me the opposite.

I really don't give a shit what Robin Power does and doesn't do

I have no problem being part of a public forum, but honeslty, if someone was speaking to to calmly, face to face, having a serious conversation with you, would you act out all of those comments and emoticons? That's not very civil.

So, everyone's feelings about every song they hear stem from "issues."? My reaction to the song (in my third post) was not overwhelming. I wasn't the only one who saw it that way, but you forgot that. Based on your assumption, every song I don't like is because I was shaped by something in my life? Wow. I'll think about that next time I hear "Laffy Taffy." What could have possibly happened in my life to shape my reaction to this piece of shit.

Being able to laugh at yourself or being able to see humor in something even when its at your expense is a sign of security. Playin' the dozens and all of that stuff....just fun stuff that may even have some truth to it. BUT I will respect that this isn't you. No joking with Jan. I'll respect that boundary as long as you know others may not (lookin' at Cal ).

That's just an excuse to allow yourself to make fun of other people. Unless the person starts the jokes about themself, it is asinine to think you can make fun of someone and they be ok with it. That has nothing to do with security
