"What I privately think will indeed have public consequences, and so while the consequences are directly open to judgment--for they do affect others--the thoughts are, too, for they are the father to the act." -Melesi

"No one, of any race, can succeed at anything if he continues to demand of someone else and not of himself." -Vox

"My personal philosopy is that once you start running, you will probably run the rest of your life because its easier to do than to take a stand and fight." -Jazzdog

"I think that by nature, women are constantly in flux and very adaptable to life changes. The way we view life at 20 or 25 may be different from the way we view it at 30 or 35... The best thing about being a woman is the versatility of lifestyles available to us." -isistah

"You never know how a child will turn out but its the teachers job to teach and not judge." -Diamond

"Religion is the notion that morals were constituted independent of us, by God, but if He does not exists then there are no morals. I think this is the message many of our kids are getting in today’s world.
" -Momentum

"Allowing marriage between the same gender removes a basic, universal feature of marriage. It goes a long way toward eventually transforming society's view of exactly what marriage is and what it's for. While this won't affect current marriages..., it may affect the attitudes of future generations, and we won't know what havoc, if any, this will wreak on society until it's too late." -Vox

"...You shouldn't invest too much of yourself in unknown circumstances. -James Chester

"Understand that trying to stop some things from occuring in history is like trying to stop the world from turning. There are just some things that humanity is meant to experience and you'll just have to find some way to deal with it and move the f-ck on, like many of our ancestors have done and we will do." -Rowe

...Loving
"Better to have loved and lost...to experience all the human emotions...besides, once you have loved, you will know how to love again, and know how to receive love." -Tigers37

...Cheating
"If folks feel the need to cheat, ask your partner or spouse to play dress up. Roll playing sounds pretty good in the AIDS era. Slap a wig on and talk with an accent, yeah that outta help."-Glow

...Family
"A lot of us talk the talk about saving the Black family but are unwilling to do the necessary things to help towards this goal." -Bro. Faheem

"Who wants to be in a relationship that is full of conflict and competition? Being a strong Black woman or man is not being a bully." -Kweli4Real

...Victim Mentality...
"We all perceive things differently and manage them differently. Never assign someone else the limits or level of tolerance you may have. It is their call what their limits are in terms of what their breaking point is." -Kevin

...Happiness...
"I think happy people are those who can maintain an openminded demeanor and adjust quickly to life's trials and challenges. They bounce back- with no residual attitudes in tow. They don't hold grudges or bear surface ill will. I don't think anyone is happy all the time, but there are some individuals who seem to shake off the bad times faster and easier than others." -isistah

These are two comments that have been lingering in my mind. This is why I tune into AA.org.

Len, this thread you started reflects what kind of person you are. It encouraged me to see this thread and one of my quotes in it. LOL

Anyway, a soft and lovely hand as yours is what any forum needs.

It must have got ruff around here, yall know when too much mess is going on will cause some of the lovely ladies to lay low.



The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

I know it's tacky to put up one of your own quotes in this thread, but under the circumstances, I doubt anyone'll mind...

"I personally miss Jazhawk and especially JuneBug. JuneBug... was my buddy. "
---Vox.

In other words, good to see you again, man!

I was getting around to you, man you still balanced, rational and moving forward brah and still hold your balls with class!

I was just reading and enjoying some of your stuff I missed over the months.....

BTW, one of the ladies sent me an email asking how she could get next to you but I'll keep it a secret cuz I agreed too. I told her I did not know you like that and if I did I would not conspire to help her exploit your vulnerabilities. You probably would see through it anyway.

LOL

The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

That settles it. First chance I get, I'm dumping this ugly avatar. It seems to bring out the worst in people!

"Len I'm back baby, I know you missed me ...... C'mon back cupcake..."


Welcome Back!!! JuneBug

You were missed, and am so glad to see you back. As it's always a pleasure to feel a good vibe and exchange with a friendly poster. And you start good topics too. I hope you get back in full swing ASAP!

Much Respect Always,

Len

It's POWER MAN, LUKE CAGE brah! He whipped all kind of Cracka Ahz in the Marvel Universe back in the day of the 70's. Oops showing my age.

LOL

I'm gonna keep Len's thread going with more fine quotes I find in this forum.... It's good tonic!!!

The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

Awwww suukee suukee now!

Where is that beautiful pic of yours.

Len, EbonyRose, NegroSpiritual, Nikki, Melesi, MsPrettyGirl, Yssys and I know I missed one or two of you lovely ladies, so don't be mad at me, it's nice be back in your warm glow, nothing like intelligent, strong, beautiful black women!!! It's a real turn on baby!!!

Here is a well-intentioned cyber bite on the ahz! LOL

Shout out to Nkechi, hope you doing fine! I'm missing one other sistah......hmmm OK - LEA, grace us with your intelligence baby, it would be nice to see you again... You some good tonic

Oh yeah I had to include this one, how could I forget... Arabian Queen, I miss you too, C'mon back it would be nice to see you again too, to tell you the truth, it is rare to converse with people from your culture, I must say it was a priviledge to do so. Next chance I get I will deal with you with grace! Not to mention the man who gets to slap you on the ahz is blessed.

The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

I've been snooping around and now I understand Vox's concern about the Luke Cage avatar

LOL

LOL@Junebug. I wonder if Luke Cage used to have the same effect on Iron Fist, in the comic book!

But anyway, let's get this fine topic (my vote for best of the year, by the way Len) back on track...
