Thread: Why Your Neighbor Is Turning A Blind Eye

It is not just the women of this country, look at all the lazy computer game playing boys of this generation and what comes out of college these days of either sex is ridiculous. These kids need to be babysat on their jobs like when to come to work, retold what their job is daily, and when to leave ( leaving when you feel like it is not an option) both sexes children and adults are apathetic and lazy. And others are unaffected by alot that goes on in this country so do not bother with it. I know many people who do not ever watch news of any kind. It is up to us to wake up these people before it is too late. Work with the ones you can wake up if not move on. There is much work to be done.

That would be an affirmative....yes.

Oprah. I was the original fan, back in the day when she was televised from Cincinnati , Ohio and competed against Phil Donahue. Her audiences still fairly small, limited to the east coast area. I watched her climb, her new sets, her new hair do's, wieght gains and loss's. I still own 2 of her movies.

I stopped watching Oprah more than 8 to 9 years ago. When the book club started, the theme songs changed and her guests were no longer everyday people. I stopped when it became about other "famous" people and not about helping others. She continued to climb, so did her ego and narsasisum. She had to have a magazine with her name on it. A production studio with her name spelled backwards,"Harpo". She no longer represented the common woman who struggled in a new age to work full time and come home to be the only one responsible for the housework and kids too. She represented the elite, rich and famous. The Cinderella story our generation was brought up on. So we thought.

Women's liberation: Equal pay, equal standing in society, equal rules and treatment. Sounded good at the time. What is the legacy? It gave men permission to walk away from marriages and families uncontested. It gave men permission to remain imature little boys and not take care of their children regardless of marital status. It gave women permission to do and be "whatever they wanted to ". No one bothered to define that equal did not mean to be able to do the same things the men do. So off we went. Some changes were good. Many not so good. We tried to do it all. And we did! We became the tireless slave to America, because now we had proven we could juggle full time jobs and wash clothes and wipe snotty noses. We proved we could build houses on construction crews, wield steel and slap back a shot of Jack daniels with the best of them.

In that process men began to tell us "what they wanted". Oprah often had guests who recommended we ask frequiently. And most still wanted the docile puppet but now they could have their cake and eat it too. We could bring home more income take the pressure off of them so they had more time to play. It was a new world. Victoria Secrets was born. We continued to push on, now with the added task of being the porn queen. We raised our daughters to "be whatever they wanted to be". They took us literaly and went farther and farther with the march to "be equal". The example we set was follow the mens lead. And in all the work to be equal and the rush to get there, still very few took a moment to ask themselves what that mantra meant.

A new generation comes of age. We discover we are so damn exhausted we have no time or patience to teach morals and values. We no longer require our children to help with chores to teach responsibiltiy. We have no will to say no when our 14 year old daughter requires stripper thongs to complete her school year atire. And we train them to be "open minded" and ask boys and men what they want.

Outcome: We were sold a bill of goods. We did not find true equality. We are not appreciated for being a true woman or exhibiting the essence of a true woman. We have not gained more respect. We were molded and shaped into fe-males. We were asked to build and partake in the ultimate male fantasy. We were told we can only be loving and compasionate when something more is required of us no matter how immoral or distastful it might be. We are to suck it up and surrender. Be a "good ol boy" about it. The request list never ended. There is a book written now, can't remember the author but it came out about 2 years ago. Title: "A generation of w hores". In all that has changed in the last 30 to 40 years to equal the playing field, the biggest thing that changed was women surrendered their morals and values. They began to work like men, play like men, love like men, hate like men. The cycle of self hate continued. True equality was and is to be a woman, maintain that identity and be accepted and appreciated for it. True equality would have been to refuse to be the only moral compass and to begin to expect men to learn and exhibit morals and values that compliment and nurture our female attributes. Instead we allowed our society to become a primevil self centered bastion of non stop patriarcle erotic fantasy.

No offense gentelmen. But we crawled in the mud with the worst of the pigs, rather than encouraging and building our own equal playing field we fell for the brainwashing and went out to play on the old playing field, telling ourselves we had equality cause we hung some curtains and added some glitter. We never became equal in the truest since of the word. We bought into anothers idea of what equal was. We never maintained our own idea or definition of what it would be or look like. We did not love ourselves as true females. We adopted everything we use to dispise and detest of our male counterparts. We became fe-Males. Oprah is now one of many visable and public examples of women becoming just another "good ol boy". We followed her lead and many others because they were so well spoken and had all the time in the world to read and rub elbows with presidents. Tried as we might to keep up by Educating ourselves in work and child rearing but heaven forbid we educate ourselves in the true politics of the world we live in. But. alass we had "real lives" with children and households to "manage" and "multi-task". If we educated ourselves on the politics of it all, We might have to take a cold hard look at ourselves and what part we played in all this.

That is hilarious!

Wow, Jezzabell.

That's a mind full - I don't know that I can find anything to disagree with on that.

I don't think women put a very high price on themselves.

In the last few years, I have known two young women who thought they were pregnant.

It turned out neither of them were.

But I asked both of them if they had told the possible fathers about the pregnancy and both gave the same answer,

"Oh, no, he wouldn't make a good father."

Same answer - different girls,different times.

My same answer to them was.

"If he is isn't a good enough man to be a father - then he isn't a good enough man to get into my bed."

These were both beautiful, talented, educated women with pretty good jobs and a great future.

No we are not the root of all evil. Nor are we the entire root of all the world's morality. If we were to do all we do and also carry that enormus responsibility for another 100 years alone, I fear we would emplode or be Godess herself.

Since we are not some goddess I suggest that It is a shared obligation to both men and women.[/quote]

Thank God - not all women live their lives by the narrow ideas that are posted on this thread.

Jezzabell - you sure don't speak for me. I don't find one thing I DO agree with on your post - NOT one.

This thread is so insane - don't know where to begin.

I personally don't know one woman that makes any TV personality her role model or moral coach.

I sure as heck don't believe all women are evil and lack morals because they believe in equality.

I know many women that can juggle family and career. It isn't easy, but they do it.

Oprahs show and fame was derived directly from so many women in our country who did and do look upon her as a role model. By no means do all of them. That is why we all spoke up to when and were she lost us and our attention in this post.

Nor did I say all women were evil, I responded to anothers post that said that. The question was, what equality they do believe in. Who defined it. And has the one choosen served us well.

The majority of women in American women juggle both. I never said they didn't or shouldn't. What i did say was over the years women have assumed a great amount of responsibilites and tasks. More than many of us bargined for at times. The original movement issue was not that we should take on the majority of resonsibility but be respected and appreciated as women. In all areas of this society.

Because we live in a time where people don't like taking responsibility unless it is something that affects them directly. Therefore turning a blind eye is a safe way out. The sad part about the illegal alien issue. The very people who are turning a blind eye to the problem. Will one day be in a situation where they will be forced to see that they have been played like fools. And that time will come.

Hi y'all,

I, too, used to watch Oprah. Remember that I worked night shift, so that her program was what was on, while I tried to de-stress.

However, I am now emailing her. Why?....she has a huge audience. And the MSM won't really go into the details of this issue. For example, as I was channel surfing and going THROUGH her program, I stopped because they were talking about some poor orphans in Africa, living in a crate. Earlier, there had been an Oprah add re a program about her new home. So I emailed, "just how many places can you live at once?".

Earlier, and I forget what set me off, I sent her my story, so she knows I'm not a racist, and links with info (some from here) and suggested that her producers do a special investigation into the real costs of this invasion, and that when we lose our middle class...WHO is going to support her, the ANGEL Network, and her favorite projects. We won't be able to send money anymore!

So maybe, in a very professional manner, if she heard from enough of us re illegal immigration and it's true costs...she'd actually touch the subject. Doubt it, but I think it's worth adding to the attempt. Yes? No?
