As always ,you give me food for thought Mudge.And you are quite correct.However I just have to be honest and say, I'm from another time and way of thinkin I suppose as some of the folks that make posts here. So to be honest I had wondered if perhaps it was an attack on my speakin manner , as it reflects most likely a image of "street smarts" or assumed "thug life" or even something as petty as being jet (black),.but there are always 3 sides to everything,myside, yourside,, and then the REALSIDE.Most peeps never get past the the first unfortunatly.But as you and I seem to agree on, the world is much bigger than any of our backyards and it takes all kinds to even make a world. I'm into and enjoying studying history a bit, and some of the mentality that is reflected in the comments that are made is kinda scary,even to "a thugged out , ill spittin", jet set guy" ( translation ,"a thugged out ",Meaning person aware of life on the streets from legal to illegal , the good and the bad,and able to deal with that enviroment and survive. "ill spittin" one who speaks the lango of the streets,but is not restricted to that ,sometimes hardcore but always true."jet set" of the Black race, as in "jet black" and "set" a group of people, friends,family,organisations and yes even gangs.) as it brings to mind somes 50's and 60's kinda behavior. The reason I use the term "on-line lynch mobs" is because of these reasons, it seems as soon as 1 persons that aims and fires stupidity into a reply, it spreads out like a virus, and before you know it every coward now has enough support( from strangers mind you) to as we say where I'm from "let his nuts hang" That to me is different from progressive thinkin,where I do my thing, you do your thing,and if we're lucky God will sprinkle us both with mad love. Just a thought! I'm pretty sure that posting what this will allow me to become a 155lb ringside heavybag to alot of Y'all, just keep the shots above the belt ha ha. PEACE
