Bette, you ARE confrontational! :biggrin1:
I've read all of your posts to this thread and I have some sincere advice.
A couple of weeks ago I took offense to several posters replies to threads. In a fit of anger, I replied back by being offensive myself! Trust me, that is the wrong way to go! I even attacked the Moderator whose job it is to keep what goes on around here at a certain level of civility! He replied to my rant with advice to "chill out", at the time it only made me angrier and I then went on to offend him (quite unfairly!) My advice, Bette, is not to take immediate offense, or lash out in anger, at what people say to you! Many of the nicer people here (especially you, Gillette!:wink::smile

are only trying to tell you that perhaps it would be better not to be so offensive in your opinions or posts.
As someone who is quite confrontational (at times) myself, I understand your defensive replies. Many times we think people are out to be jerks or smart asses when, in fact, they are only trying to help us out! Bette, I hope you will understand this and will not take my advice as my trying to be 'holier than thou'! Believe me, I am not! I have just had experience with this sort of stuff a few times in my short time here. I still find many things posted, offensive. However, I have decided just to let things go! You wanna know what I was offended by two weeks ago? It was people who had posted in threads about how much they didn't like those threads and their subjects! Bette, my advice to them was basically to move on if they don't have anything positive to contribute to a thread! Unfortunately (as Alex8 said) it was lost, because I also included in my advice offensive words to those posters!
Bette and Karmen: if you don't like fatboys, you don't have to be so cruel as to say that they are addicted to food, ugly, or that they don't take care of themselves! Maybe the old saying "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all", is something you two should consider when posting. Again, I'm not trying to pretend to be better than you two. I'm just speaking from experience!:redface::wink::smile:

I just cannot believe that women would actually compete for this guy. Also, that white women would be stupid enough to be on the show, knowing that black women have that "Oh, no white woman will ever get my man!" attitude. I'm pretty confrontational, but even I would be scared to compete with those crazy black bitches. They would eat me alive, all ghetto, like I was a rotisserie chicken on a street corner pit.
Flav is a total loser. But he has money, so golddiggas aplenty! It's like all of the women have to cover up the fact that they are there for his money.
It's too bad he let Like That go, but the whole "big girl lingerie" thing was funny. He is such a small guy, there is no way that's a good match.
Bette, I already mentioned above what I think of your posts. However, since you were kind enough to acknowledge what I said to you, I will do the same.
I take offense to your characterization of black girls (especially the "all ghetto" and calling those girls "crazy black bitches"!) I know that you may have said it in jest, but I personally take offense to it! I am Hispanic and gay! I take stereotypes quite seriously, as I have seen the negative effects they have for minorities and gays! Again, try to be more positive in the future. It does one a whole lot better, believe me!:smile:
On the show: I agree with you, I don't see what these girls find attractive about Flavor Flav! He has a cute personality, but he has shown a darker side of himself many times! Overall, I like him, but in no way find him attractive!:biggrin1: I'm sure (as with all reality shows!) money and exposure, and the potential D-List celebrity one can achieve from being on a reality show is what is motivating many of these girls! To be fair though, VH-1 and Flavor Flav are using them only for their own gain, as well!
I hate most reality shows and most of the "stars" of them, but I see them for what they mostly are: cheap, mostly harmless, entertainment!:wink::biggrin1::smile:
