Aside from Lucky does anyone else like the ghetto talk or ghetto atmosphere? If a person from the ghetto could get out of the ghetto and make a better life for them self would they? Ghetto talk sounds like the person is very uneducated. That is my opinion.
I feel the exact same way. I feel the way you present yourself to others is important, though there is a time and place for different behaviour.
ehhhh this is so silly. i dont talk ghetto. if i do at times it's cause it's how i talk. i can use words that sound ghetto to others and also be articulate. i talk like i talk. no games. yes, a person in the ghetto would and should get out. my situation that i live in is pretty damn ghetto and i dream of a better life for myself. when i go to the HOOD... i dont love the situations they live in... i love the PEOPLE and the atmosphere is funny at times cause there is always crazy shit going on... but every time crazy shit goes on... (and ill post my story from tonight)... there are always REAL people on the street, on the porches... looking and being SINCERE. some of the most real people you ever met cause they have no chose but to be real. people like cate (no offense, we can't help how and where etc we are brought up) don't understand that. but i would MUCH rather roll into a hood somewhere then roll into the suburbs and people like cate who suggest i live in the suburbs do not know my life... that said cause it's stupid... seriously those are the real people and the reason i like hanging out there is cause the people ARE so real, so NICE really... they have your back when people with a bit more money look down on you... plus there is always activity. it's a lot more fun then looking at a tree. but do i wish EVERYONE could get out of the ghetto? hellz fucking yes. (ps) to sum it up... i hate what happens to people in the ghetto. it's so sad. do i like the atmosphere? i breathe for it. best people ever. <333
except when it's not behavior but how a person is. i dont go into the ghetto acting like im some ghetto fab white bitch. i go in as a real person and everyone i see is a real person although some misguided because of their circumstances. presenting yourself? these people present themselves as REAL and full of LOVE ... know where id go if i REALLY needed money for food? i would NOT go to a high middle class place... id go to the ghetto... where people are sincere and GIVING. every single one of them, except the misguided who resort to violence are the most loving, giving people ever.
and wtf do you know about my reality? having to chose food or rent paid? having to beg for money to pay the rent? wtf do you know? i dont care because i love myself and i KNOW things will be better but dont even try to say what my reality is or isn't because you don't even know me. i love myself so i dont come on here and say how sometimes we cant afford toilet paper and the rent being paid? causes fights.. even though i dream it'll be better. seriously leave me alone even though i told you i'm sorry- i am. if it's nothing personal. fine. i was wrong but DON'T for a second act like you know my economic situation even though i just bummed 100 bucks to pay the fucking rent. youv'e never had to do that so seriously... just don't talk about what you don't know.
I'm feeling electric. haha seriously. think anything here can really bug me? it just annoys me a bit when people who have never been in certain situations and have no idea what situations im talking about wanna talk talk talk ... talking heads. live and let live i say. but unless you've been there, id suggest not talking. but yeah electric i had a fun night with a crazy cops with batons story scared shitless but it's always fun to watch.
sure. and all im saying is... cause it PISSES ME OFF.. until you've been in my shoes... refrain from commenting like you know shit. cause you don't. i've said my peace now and that is all i want from you. (btw i went off cause you commented AGAIN about how i think ghetto is cool. i dont think ghetto is COOL.. i think the people are great and i relate to them. so seriously.. if you dont want me to go off.. dont keep commenting)
Premierement, petite fille, c'etait une spéculation. Deuxiemement, le commentaire que j'avais faite en response a Peanuts, n'etait pas au sujet de toi.
that is very sneaky and superior to me to speak in french or whatever.. not cause i cant look that up but cause i dont wanna and it makes you appear to be more so the intelligent, priveledged, giving, enlightened person that you are. do you carress buddha daily or just weekly?
I thought you were moving to Georgia? Is there a lot of ghetto in Georgia? I can't say I know the life because I don't. I've probably grown up much like Cate. I've never had to beg for money or food. I married a man who works damn hard so I don't have to so I can raise my family. That said it's also all about the choices we make and the people we associate with. No one can hold a gun to your head and say this is how you have to live. You can make your own destination if you want it bad enough. Hard core drugs and violence won't get you there. (meaning anyone, not just you Lucky) I want to ask you something. Could you not pay the rent because there is no money coming in or because of poor choices? Are you still living with Dan? I thought he works all day?
I was hoping this thread would die because it reminded me being robbed by people I thought were my friends (haha)... there is no way in hell I'd move to Georgia...in fact that would have been a MUCH, MUCH worse situation then the one I'm in currently. yeah I'm still living with Dan and for the moment I'm happy about it and not thinking any further for the time being. Dan works hard although they are only on a four day work week now because of the economy (he's in the housing field)- actually I've been having paychecks come in lately too but when a lot of things happen at once... whatever. I really don't wanna talk about it. anyways who the hell said im violent? i sure as hell didn't. anyways seriously im not complaining about my life. i like it. and usually it is EASY to pay the rent... this was a bad month for so many things happening at once. that is all. peace and let this thread die now please.
This argument was weak. I don't mind living in the ghetto, but I do not miss being part of the shenanigans that take place there.
The real ghetto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH1K4ki2lII&feature=dir (just putting a dab of humour in a downer thread)
That's the kiddie ghetto. Their area does not have nearly enough abandoned buildings and condemned houses to be the real ghetto.
I believe people are as real and as fake everywhere. It's just different acts for the same thing. Even what's fake it's real and what's real is fake, if you know what I mean. Everyone pretends something. It's just that in the ghetto people might pretend about different things than in the suburbs, but really are people any different?
