fear works to some degree, for control, but is a terrible parenting method that breeds sociopaths.
i would say parents should rather work through instilling empathy. which is something i suspect would be difficult for the previous generation. they're pragmatic, but emotionally rigid and too "set in their ways".
for example, it's an accomplishment for them to even reach a point where they question their methods--for them to get to the point where they actually question the need and nature of control, well, that never happens.
probably why i hold no traditional values. my brain can't work in that way. probably haven't inherited anything (at least consciously) from my parents. everything i believe in is something i've put through a sequence of thought processes set within a framework or worldview i a**igned to myself based on my experience of the world.

« on: October 29, 2010, 05:49:15 PM »I respect your hustle Waylander.
You seem to have a focus, what's your ultimate goal? What drives you when you wake up in the morning?
As for me, money doesn't drive me, even though my job practically safe-guards capitalism.
But, I mean, we all like to have nice things so I can meet you halfway.
I'm surprised you think the site is 'teeming with pseudo-intellectuals'. I always find the views vary to an interesting degree. Quite a few devil's advocates, afrocentrics and apologists. And a few posts to remind everyone not to take everything so seriously.
As for Gareth Cliff's letter, I did nod here and there, but nothing was new really, that's why I didn't comment before. Very few people would disagree that the government is corrupt. I was more interested in what motivated him to write it and whether it was really in the spirit of building the country. Also, I'm still sensitive to wording, perspective and tone used by white people in their criticism of black people, call it a nervous tick *shrug*
coolness.
My beef is that some people are dismissing the letter simply because it was written by a white person..
not because it doesnt make sense, or is a lie etc, but simply because it was written by a white guy..
As for it not saying nothing new, i agree, but that on its own does not make it irrelevant.. Gareth cliff is a radio personality, and has a wider and bigger reach than the average guy, and he has more clout(as far as listenability is concerned)than some politicians even..
Generally, when a politician speaks, you wouldnt think twice about flippin channels, but you wouldnt reali flip a channel because gareth cliff is being interviewed..
The stir this letter has caused is a perfect example of the clout and reach dude has...
As for his motivation, only he would know.. im not sure about this, but if he is speaking the truth, do his reason matter? i mean, when Helen Zille or Mbazima Shilowa speak truth, do you stop to think whether they are saying what they saying kauz its true, or kauz they tryin to get votes?
when a ref gives chiefs a penalty, do you focus on whether a foul actually ocurred and whether its deserving of a penalty or on whether they guy hates the team chiefs is playing against?
And i respect how sensitive you still are towards what white people say and how they say it, but my point is, when they do talk, what they say shouldnt be just dismissed because of their skin colour.. Keep in mind, that behaviour makes us just like them during the arpatheid era, it means we are employing reverse racism, which basically makes everything they did to us acceptable because we are now just as guilty...
As for this AG being full of pseudo-intellectuals, i think thats a fact.. Some big-worded views expressed on some threads are utterly stupid once you strip away all the beautiful colors they are covered with.
and i understand that this site is full of jokers, apologists and such, as you stated, but some things just get me going.. but ke, i do apologise for getting all emo on ya'll!!!
As what drives me and my ultimate goals, simple: MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!
Thats the reason i went to school, got a job, started my businesses.. 95% of the decisions i make are motivated by gwop..
Money is 95% hapiness.. simple... everything thing that makes you happy except love(in some cases) requires money.. so its a simple equation NEEDS/WANTS + MONEY = HAPINESSES!!
and the more you have, the happier you are.. the only people who are happy without money are people who've never had it, so its value means nothing to them...
i actually feel dumber after reading this.
no offense.
as you were.

actually okay for MTV.
Waka is horrible for me, because i don't like his style; shit ain't creative and his rhymes aren't that funny to me. so maybe put him at ten (he's only there because he's big right, now--not saying he can't rap at all, he just doesn't like doing it properly).
Wayne before Ross. maybe before Drake, but it's been a while since Tha Carter III so prolly nah.
Minaj before Ross (2009 is almost 2 years ago--and also, just for the f*** of it).
then it's aight, probably.
this list doesn't mean anything, though, you should already know that, especially now that no one really gives a f*** about television. MTV is a f***ing dinosaur.
open a list thread when the XXL Freshman list drops. then we can talk.

« on: October 25, 2010, 06:24:43 PM »
they are burning plants.
next they should try sweeping the dust off the earth, then maybe scooping out the water from the ocean.
why not give it to medicinal marijuana outlets.
or drop it in the ocean instead of toxic waste?
i know people in mexico get killed over the (U.S. Funded) drug lords behind this shit, but they don't really have to f*** up the environment as a punitive measure against a handful of people.

not really. check out the Earl Sweatshirt tape, 'Earl', the MellowHype tape, 'YellowWhite' and the Domo Genesis tape, 'Rolling Papers'.
they have different vibes.
