bah and I almost forgot my purpose for coming here.
Hey Lat ![]()
Wow, you know, I thought this thread was another retirement thread. Then I noticed Lat was the last poster and I wanted to come say hi. Imagine my shock to find out this was an actual coming out thread lol
Anyways, I don't really share the sentiments of everyone here with the congratulations and good job and what not. After playing this game, I've come to realize that everyone of us falls into aim of a prejudiced finger. I remember when I was worried about posting my pics in IC gallery for the first time because the ppl I found myself friends with wouldn't feel comfortable continuing that relationship knowing I was african american. But hell, I've seen ppl in this game point the finger at: Fat ppl, Americans, Europeans, Canadians, black ppl, jewish ppl, asian ppl, gay ppl, woman, christians, atheists, on and on and on.
It's pretty amazing to me how ppl are willing to congratulate one person for coming out to be who they are and then condemn another person for whom they are:p
I won't say any names, but some ppl in this thread need to take a good look at what they say and ask if they really believe themselves lol
So yeah CT, never feel like you need to search for acceptance among ppl, nor should you feel you need to....what's the word I'm looking for...too early in the morning to think so I'll say define yourself to other ppl. I like oatmeal raisin cookies. You like guys. Big deal. None of that has anything to do with George Bush murdering innocent women and children X(
working on it guys
lol Lupo, he stole half of his lyrics from biggie on that album. It's ok to take the concept of something from someone or to borrow a few lines. But Jay-Z bites everything!
I could imagine if he was like kanye west and sampled songs. But you don't sample a person's lyric book front to back and call yourself the best rapper alive lol
GT, problem with Lupe atm is that he doesn't know how to entertain. While his lyrical and creative talents are great. His abilities as an entertainer are horrible. His music videos are low budget and lack anything that would make someone over the age of 7 watch them over and over. Kick push was good. But all the others sucked:p
He's young in his career though. Perhaps he'll come up
Lupo, Jay Z is far from the best rapper. All of his lyrics are bitten and stolen from other artists. Big Daddy Kane, nas, tupac, snoop dogg, biggie, etc. After I heard the diss track towards him from camron and did the research. I've come to the conclusion that jay-z is a horrible fraud:p
He's the same as 50 cent. Creative buisnessmen who know how to manipulate a youth with no taste.
Give me Common any day of the week!
Until you become a black man, nothing you say is really valid about our culture and what we must do to become successful or what conditions cause us to fail at prosperity. This thread is 90% stereotypical and unfairly biased. To say that blacks can't prosper because we listen to hip hop an' sell crack rock, as Decimus so elegantly put it is extremely ridiculous considering the fact that you have caucasians who listen to hardcore rock and roll (lyrics screaming about ripping their souls out and going to hell) while having a breakdown because they've injected themselves with crystal meth and horse tranquilizers.
You have other european nationalities who drink like there is no tommorow and spend their days thinking about sex and how to get an easy euro. And while I can continue, I'm digressing a little. Each culture has it's ups and it has its downs. You can't point out a negative attribute with a race/culture without making a similar comparison with another race/culture and call it fair.
Decimus says to name a black inventor in an attempt to disprove the progress of the black culture and the impact they've had on society. However on the flip side, (though this also digresses a big), you have the white American culture who voted George Bush and in turn started the downfall of their own culture and the british who supported the decision. Asians rather than stand united about being asian, become utterly offended at times if you mistake which asian background their heritage derives from.
Why do you say that black people feel that some of their problems stem from the oppression of other cultures even to this day? It's quite simple when you take the time to look at the other side of the coin. You look at me and assume that I'm up to no good or that I'm going to cause trouble or that I'm not capable of carrying on an intellectual discussion about something which most likely doesn't even matter. Yet somehow you feel that the amount of information I've gathered about a historic event(probably written incorrectly) helps to determine my social status. And when I fail to meet your standards, or if another member of the black community fails to meet your standards, then you in turn label the other members in a negative manner and hence threads like this become constructed.
Then you overlook those of us who are building ourselves up to become better individuals in spite of the labels you give us. Those of us who overcome challenges to become buisness owners, real estate investors, stock market traders, governors, lawyers, doctors, teachers and depending on the current U.S. election, Presidents; will remember that a mere 300 years ago, none of this was even a realistic thought.
So while you guys argue about why my culture isn't progressing like other cultures and how we are dependent on our oppressors. I'm going to continue to gain experience at my current job as a Manager like I am. Finish up my college education and next year when I earn my degree, I'll come back and simply tell those of you who speak with ignorant minds: Bullshit.

Until the fam and ally forums are repaired, feel free to leave me "Nolio" a pm on irc (or leave your fam number in this thread if you want me to just come by and clean it up as I please) if you need threads stickied or deleted. I apologize for the delay with fixing the bugs but I'll help you out as best as I can in the meantime.
*andro, pw only as I'm currently playing in the other galaxies*
lol this is an utter waste of time
lol not much has happened to really qualify for an update. So far everyone is doing their building and exploring at about the same rate. No fam has shown signs of pulling away from the rest of the pack yet
Hmmmm, say what you want about big gary and anubis but they have a top notch lineup =o
I gave up fast food.
I haven't committed 100% but I eat fast food like once a week now so it's been great
yeah a lot of people do shady things with paypal. I don't generally use it cause it seems the security on it is kinda weak. I only use paypal for ebay or IC donations. And like I said, prepaid debit card ![]()
Arocalex is correct yell. Don't flame him for it. There are ppl who spend all their time scheming to steal your money. Key loggers, email hacking, bank card cloning, etc. etc. They find ways to get into your property. Nothing is guaranteed against someone who knows what they are doing. For online transactions, I only use a prepaid debit card. I try not to use my social security info too often for signing things and when I do, I try to keep it to secure connections. Virus, firewall, security stuff. I try to keep that up to date and I tear up letters that have my info on it before sending to the trash. A shreddar might be a good idea. Never thought about it. And I have an account with a credit agency that updates me whenever my social, credit history, checking purchases, etc. are made. I receive an email with detailed info.
Only so much you can do in life. Things are gonna happen. you can put on a bulletproof vest, hard hat, fire resistant gloves, a rabbit's foot, steel toe work boots, thick goggles and shin guards and still die if someone hits you with a car.
