09/20 Revenge of the Exes

 I can't believe Tasha would allow something to be posted on her website that could damage someone's reputation. She is responsible for the website, and allowing a posting that could hurt the carreer of Todd or any other person is wrong. She should pay, be it money, a pubic apology, or the website being closed down. Personally, what I think is the website should be closed down and a public apology to Todd. Is this what it's come to, for adults to do?! Please!!! People, grow up!

09/20 Revenge of the Exes

Quote From: mostdevinemzm

personally i think the person that needs to grow up is you. there is freedom of speech first and then there is the fact that men have been able to ruin womens' reputation from time immortal,when are they going to start paying? why should her ability for free enterprise be closed down because some male got called on his mess.Let's be real. i do agree that there is a thin line between being fair and being malisious and tasha should take some control over how vicious some of  the stories are,but the women should police themselves also. she can institute the same thing on her web-site that is on this one,asking if we really want to post our message.
Does freedom of speech include slander? And do YOU know for a fact that everything she stated was true?? Were you there?? Women are just as guilty as men when it comes to ruining their own reputation. If women would take more control of a situation, and not romantise so much, it would get better.  And to lower our morals to include slandering someone, is just being right down there in the heap. No, I don't need to grow up, I know how to be responsible and keep boundaries in place with men.

Hoarding

I can't believe how many people have jumped into a "crucify the neighbors" type attitude. There is some kind of underlying problem that would cause this behavior. Yes, they do need help. Help with whatever emotional problems that lead to this behavior. Yes, this is a disgusting situation, but before you cast the first stone, think about what may be happening inside their lives, then concentrate on cleaning the house and finding help for them.

Check It Out

I looked online about the Father's Registry...it varies little state to state that have this law. This should prove to be a very interesting and a learning experience for men. I did not know it existed. But one thing I know...it does not necessarily mean a father is unfit.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

Quote From: afraid

 YEAH THEARS A UNDERLYING PROBLEM ALRIGHT its laying all over the damn house!!!  both her and her husband need to get off thear sorry asses and clean up, and not wait for dr phil to send a cleaning crew in to do it while they sit on thear asses and watch!!!!! its plain to see they DONT GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE CHILDREN CRAWL AROUND THROUGH OR PICK UP AND PUT IN THEAR MOUTH.
 IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING LAZY...OR GETTING OFF THEIR REAR ENDS. WHAT EVER PUT THEM IN THIS SITUATION...IRREGARDLESS OF WHAT IT WAS...THEY NEED HELP. OF COURSE THE CHILDREN AND ANIMALS ARE SUFFERING...WHO WOULDN'T?!  DO YOU THINK YOUR RESPONSE WOULD CURE IT? NO. UNTIL YOU'VE WALK IN THE SHOES OF SOMEONE WITH A PROBLEM LIKE THIS OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM...CONSIDER YOURSELF FORTUNATE AND HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR THOSE THAT HAVE MENTAL DISORDERS OR PROBLEMS. IT'S REACTIONS LIKE YOURS THAT STILL GIVES THE NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH A STIGMA. YOU NEED TO GROW UP.

THINK AGAIN

Quote From: suebonnetsue

 Are you saying that we should not judge them, but just clean out their house for them?  I don't think that's the answer. 

What kind of help should we get them?  They don't want help, they don't want their house or yard cleaned out.  They don't want counseling either because they don't want to change.  They don't want to give up their buying, collecting, their 'treasures'. 

How do we force people to get help who don't want help?  How do we protect the neighbors houses if the hoarder's house catches fire?  How do we protect the hoarder's trashed house and yard from ruining the property values of everyone else around them?  Yes, they need help, but they don't want help.  They don't want the problem solved.  Is that fair to everyone who has to live around them?  Is it fair to their adult children, who worry about their safety and health?  Is it fair to the animals they keep inside?  Is their desire to hoard more important than the neighbors need to live without fear of a fire beginning in hoarder's house and spreading to their home?  Is it fair that a hoarder's house and yard can lower property values, and prevent house sales, on their street? 

People have every right to be as crazy as they want to be and to refuse to accept counseling, UNTIL they infringe on MY rights to live in safety and to sell my house.  Their right to be crazy is not more important than their children's rights to safe, or the rights of my family to be safe.  Their right to be crazy cannot be allowed to effect others.
OK...SO YOUR PROPERTY VALUE MEANS MORE TO YOU THAN THESE PEOPLE? RIGHT? AND I GUESS YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE WILL JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMP AND SAY "YES" I NEED HELP...AND GO RUNNING TO THE NEAREST DOCTOR FOR HELP? IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. LET SOMEONE COME INTO YOUR HOME AND START TAKING THINGS AWAY FROM YOU THAT YOU THINK ARE PRECIOUS...WHETHER THEY ARE OR NOT...MIGHT YOU GET UPSET? NO...EVERYTHING YOU HAVE IS WORTH SOMETHING...THEIR'S ISN'T. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM! THEY NEED HELP...AND UNTIL YOU REALIZE THAT...THERE'S NO HOPE FOR YOUR ATTITUDE. HEAVEN FORBID IF SOMEONE DEVALUES YOUR PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY'RE ILL.

THE CHILD WITHIN

Quote From: sunnylashel

How do you find out what is causing this if they refuse therapy?  How do you find help for them when they don't want it?  Cleaning the house does no good, they just junk it up again...and quicker than before!  My anger comes from watching a child forced to live in it!

Sunny

PEOPLE LIKE THIS AND OTHER DISORDERS DON'T REALIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM...THEREFORE THEY DON'T THINK THEY NEED HELP. THEY'LL SAY ANYTHING, EVEN ARGUE WITH SOMEONE, TO NOT BE BOTHERED BY PEOPLE. IF THEY GET HELP AND CONTINUE STAY WITH IT, IT WILL WORK OUT...BUT THEY HAVE TO BE WILLING AND WANTING HELP. ANY CHILD LIVING IN CONDITIONS LIKE THIS IS TERRIBLE...AND I'M BEING KIND HERE. INTERVENTION IS NEEDED IN THESE CASES, BUT I'M NOT THE ONE THAT DECIDES WHAT KIND OF INTERVENTION. SOMETIMES, TEARING A FAMILY APART CAN DO HARM...REBUILDING THE FAMILY UNIT IS BETTER. BUT AGAIN, THIS TAKES THE PROPER HELP DIAGNOSED FOR THE PROBLEM.

The "N" Word

This topic is sooo ridiculous-it's not funny. How many more shows are going to cover the "N" word before it's over with? Oprah covered it, but it's not something that's going to be settled. No one owns a word. How sad to think any African American wants to own this word especially in the context of where it came from. And to say Whites started it...how does anyone really know that? Remember-your own ancestors sold you into slavery too-it wasn't just White Americans that practiced this-Europeans did too. Have you forgotten that-or is it something that's hushed up? Europeans seems to have come to terms with it and live more peacefully-both Black Europeans and Europeans. My ancestors were European-and didn't own slaves or have them-instead it was Hitler's wrath for a perfect race-yet I have recieve racial remarks from African Americans-when there no call for it. That means you are very bias to me-and neither I nor my family past had anything to do with it-it's just because I'm white in color.  I find it ironic to think that if I were to yell at a children to get off my lawn-that I would use the word or say "African American child-get out of my yard." Surely you joke-I'd just yell-YOU KIDS GET OUT OF MY YARD-no matter who they are! I do believe the word "Cracker" came from down south-but I wouldn't be upset if I were called a cracker. I wouldn't be upset to be called a "N" Lover-that just shows the intelligence level of that person-and why should I lower my standards to meet theirs? When you say that you have the right to use the word-but whites don't-does that mean you teach your children that whites are prejudice or calling them a dirty name if they use it-but-you're not prejudice? There's a double standard here that's being overlooked.  I agree the "N" word should be classified as a unsavory word or dirty word if preferred among children-and not used by anyone and taught not to use it. We are all Americans-it's a shame we have to classify ourselves as a "certain type" of American regardless of race. This is one country and it should be looked at that way-otherwise we remain divided.
