To get off subject:<BR/><BR/>I had a good buddy who died May 2008 and he was the type to jump in a fight even if you were wrong. That's how he died, he walked away from defending a family friend and the neighbor shot him in broad daylight. He died at 35 with a 10 year old child he loved to death over a stupid fight.Shaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049949734768494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-4142178022310061122009-03-11T13:44:00.000-04:002009-03-11T13:44:00.000-04:00Keith,Terrific writing as we have come to expect!I...Keith,<BR/>Terrific writing as we have come to expect!<BR/>I heard of Chris Brown just 2 summers ago from my granddaughter who is (was, I hope) a fan. She is 8 now. This little girl talked about Chris Brown's singing and dancing with her friends just a few years older than she. Most of the older girls fantasized about Chris becoming their husband in the future. I hope their future matrimonial plans are just that - fantasies. Chris, the abuser, will continue these behaviors until there is intervention and treatment. Some psychologists have theorized that for some men it takes 3 years of therapy to recognize that hitting IS abuse. Nothing justifies or even mitigates the use of violence. Touch should HEAL not hurt.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949900173613954936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-13539385273684920882009-03-11T13:23:00.000-04:002009-03-11T13:23:00.000-04:00Great post.

Important post, Brotha.<BR/><BR/>I really can't pretend to understand the mindset of the abused, and it's mad scary to even try to enter the mind of the abuser.<BR/><BR/>Some people tend to think of love as something outside of themselves, and to BE loved by someone else requires that they withstand whatever comes their way in order to RETAIN that love. That's crazy thinking!<BR/><BR/>But love of SELF is the ultimate LOVE. <BR/><BR/>If someone lays a hand on you, in that moment, Love is absent. And if one chooses to take them back, then love of SELF and love of one's own well-being has clearly taken a back seat.<BR/><BR/>There is no archetype for someone who abuses. They can be anyone from anywhere, all social strata, with one thing in common: there's something damaged and broken in them. Perhaps what they (the abusers) instinctively recognize is that same damage/insecurity in someone else, and they seek to dominate them because it makes their smallness feel larger within.<BR/><BR/>But the main thing is Love ain't supposed to hurt. So when someone who claims to love you purposely hurts you, physically or emotionally, then you really need to question if it's REALLY LOVE or some form of pathology.<BR/><BR/>Then, get the hell out of that loveless situation!<BR/><BR/>One.Moanerplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750801733829859144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-26787635960355356402009-03-11T09:01:00.000-04:002009-03-11T09:01:00.000-04:00Great post, Keith.

I hope that women (and men who are abused by women) realize that they are worth more than being somebody's punching bag. At some point, tho, I hope that someone beats the crap out of the beaters...just for the sake of being fair.

I even wrote on the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna thing called 'When does domestic violence go too far?' <BR/><BR/>I must say that even if she got hit, because his child molesting manager wanted to whore around with him that night, still didn't mean he had to beat the living crap out of Rihanna either. She's the one that is suffering from his whorish ways, and it's sad that even in the midst of all that drama, she still wants him back. SMH. <BR/><BR/>What the two of them fail to realize is that even though they are just celebrities, they are setting the stage for today's youth and showing them that it's okay to get beat down by some young punk who doesn't know when to keep his hands (and other body parts) to himself. They fail to realize that they are primary examples to fans and teenagers that watch them in the spotlight, and just this whole situation just adds fuel to the fire of the statistics of young women and teenage girls who deal with domestic violence at the hands of their significant other. <BR/><BR/>I don't want to write no whole essay on my comment alone, but I do commend you for being the type of person that was willing to stick your neck out and let women know that there are men out there who are punks and bullies. Even if the heeded warnings fall on deaf ears, it doesn't mean they aren't listening at all. It just means that they hear you, but it won't sink in until the 11th hour. <BR/><BR/>Peace and Blessings.Untouched Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663191540628765615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-55213029070514163972009-03-11T01:57:00.000-04:002009-03-11T01:57:00.000-04:00I Love you so much for this, friend;" there is no ...I Love you so much for this, friend;<BR/><BR/><BR/>" there is no why he had to do it as far as I'm concerned" <BR/><BR/><BR/>THANK YOU and may i say is a GODDAMNED shame that in almost every otherblog Grown ass dudes are reaching into thin air and making excuses for him and what ifs scenarios<BR/><BR/>so I commend you on having the moral fiber and class and real masculinity and decency to say there is NO VALID WHY to this shitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
