Apparently, the cousin didn't like how my neighbor and his boyfriend were defending each other after someone else's BS and they had me in the window, hollering. The part that got me was "at least I ain't smoking crack with a broken spoon" After that, I was on the ground. 2017-01-11T20:08:58Z Comment by I.AM.TASH. FRAAAAAAN! YOU GOT LUCKY GIRL!

Telling a person you care about to STFU is awful and abusive. You can't undo anything with verbal or physical violence. They are always going to have said what they said. It's a choice whether or not to stoop to that level. 2016-09-06T16:19:08Z Comment by Camille A. Money does not buy you design sense, Fran! I earn more than I ever have but my house doesn't reflect that because I don't have the time or the design eye for it right now. I think a home is a reflection of one's values and what a person can or decides to put time into to. 2016-09-06T15:30:55Z Comment by Christina Vi Deterville "Yo Hips betta ROLLLLLL" lmao yass 2016-09-06T12:36:30Z Comment by Christina Vi Deterville That's where I got Immedetly from lmao ...

Conjuring up Gina "singing in the background" from when Biggie guest starred on MARTIN. 2016-09-01T17:49:09Z Comment by User 675248413 Hey beautiful intelligent beings! For the nature vs nurture discussion, I have to say that it's always both. We live in a hierarchical society where we are posed with dichotomies and made to think that there can only be one answer that's "better" or "trumps" the other. We are always forced to choose and this keeps us fragmented and from seeing the whole picture. I believe that the answer is it's both nature and nurture. Nurture couldn't exist without nature and nature couldn't exist without nurture. As a person that believes that all things are connected and one, then this discussion too the answer involves both pieces of the puzzle to make the one whole picture. In every example that one could think that it's nature, another could find a reason that it's nurture and vice versa because they are intertwined together. It's like asking does racism or sexism impact women of non-caucasian descent more in this life. It's not either/or, it's both and how they are intersecting. Peace and love! 2016-09-01T17:05:54Z Comment by Issa Nae Dustin...I need a reality recap EVERY WEEK. u give the mental pictures on POINT LOL 2016-09-01T16:25:16Z Comment by MsNisha929 It don't make me take her vocals seriously. 2016-09-01T13:33:32Z Comment by Naima @gisele-rawlins-870845444: LOOOL 2016-09-01T12:33:05Z Comment by Isiah Izzy G.
