[universalmoor]

what happened to reaching out to those who need help. this is just a story i heard. when a man was to go with a group of people that were considered an awful lot. His friends warned him, they said," you shouldnt go with those people, they are robbers and thieves. they will kill you!" and the man replied" these are they that have gone through worse than you!They NEED me MOST!" >>>SIMPLY PUT>>A master never screens himself for the sake of fame or reputation!!!!!

[PrincessDiana161]

As my mom always said...Tell me who you walk with and I'll tell you who you are. But she said it in Spanish :D

[razellicious]

I really love your insight and the way you cut this video. You made a great point without being nasty, but still truthful. Killer vid Lisa.  5*

[robertpina99]

You had a very good point in your description. Negativity does help make us grow by challenging our way of thinking. It makes us reach beyond our normal way of looking at things. By constrast we can linger in our protective world of positive thoughts and associations and seldom reach beyond them. I choose the totality of experience and associations YT offers me. Much respect to you.

[broadjumper1]

Unfortunately? Why unfortunately?...remember being judged by the content of our character. This includes who we associate with.

[Furnifur]

Yeah Booooooooyyyy! OK that was supposed to sound Like Flava Flav but I'm not sure if that came across in text. lol That's what I've been trying to say I'm just not as eloquent. Rock On girlfriend!!

[NLPNVC]

If people question my choices I am ok with that because I know these questions are not really about me.

"Your friend X hurt my feelings and I want you to stop being friends with him." What does one have to do with the other?

I agree 100% with Curt on this one. Select your friends wisely.

[katlitter]

amen.

it took me a while to understand that

[OhCurt]

Hell yeah! Not that guilty by association is fair or correct, just that surrounding yourself with people who you know are trustworthy is the safer, saner route to take.

Well said, Lisa.

[mtamorphis]

Thanks Curt!

[anakin1814]

I think fundamentally, you have to agree with what a person stands for, but some of the other things that make us all so very different, are just labels. Great video!

[mtamorphis]

Thanks!

[YouAreTryingTooHard]

lulz...this video should be on live video.  They live your views!!!

[StephStance]

damn boy...how many fake accounts do you have?

[mtamorphis]

I am glad you got a lulz out of it...as far as LV..Naaw, I wanna stay right here and be with you! **smooches**

[KimOsh72]

you're so correct! I do have to ask though...shouldn't this be attached to sara's video?

[mtamorphis]

Thanks and no I decided I wanted to post it on steph's...I am sure people can catch on to what is going on.

[TOMKNN]

I agree 100 %

[mtamorphis]

Thanks!

[Gimmeabreakman]

Agree...but the problem is that some people infer TOO much by association.

I have supported Dendrophilian and Sxephil videos in the past and this gets me so much grief. People infer I support pedophilia--which I don't, using the n-word -- which I don't, and cheating - -which I don't.

In this case, the same rule applies. I have good friends who supported Skehan but I never doubted their friendship here.

Not saying much. Just saying that it ain't that simple.

[TheSumpPump]

Victor, when you feature a specific video, you support it.

First of all, simply subscribing to someone isn't necessarily 'association.' Often times people will subscribe to people they do not like or agree with just to keep an eye on their doings. Beyond that, there are clearer indications of association, like showing support in comments, or putting a persons video in your feature spot (i.e. Victor featuring the pedophila supporter Dendrophilian).

[Gimmeabreakman]

1-After sufficient talk with Dendro I am satisfied he does not support pedophilia.

2-I feature some vids that I myself may not be particularly interested in but that I want to refer to later for some reason -- like read the comments. LOTS of people do this. I did this to Skehan's video. Skehan & I are pretty public about our mutual disdain. You think anyone got the wrong idea? LOL!

[TheSumpPump]

I'm glad that your 'talk' with Dendrophilain made everything alright (lol), because his video clearly stated that he supported the idea of pedophilia. You heard what he said just like the rest of us, yet, somehow, his side communication with you makes it different.

If I put a video that features white power in my feature spot, are you saying it doesn't mean I support racism as long as I have a previous conversation with the videos poster? Please.

[TheSumpPump]

In regard to you Victor, I grow more and more annoyed with your comment patterns. You seem to try to present some 'wiser' view, as if you are trying to shed a new light or new perspective on a given situation. Often times (more often than not lately), you are just wrong Victor, and seem to argue just for the sake of argument.

[Gimmeabreakman]

Maybe you are annoyed because I make you think. I cannot be wrong. You cannot be wrong. We have opinions. Opinions are not wrong.

I think you feel safe -- as most people do -- do simply label something as this or that. Ex: D is evil!

Life is not that simple. I believe that D has something good to offer society.

I did not say feature spot. I said favorite. And this conversation has been had--on Battim's page a long time ago.

[TheSumpPump]

I know, I sat as silent witness to that conversation Victor. I also witnessed your defense of Phil. I dislike many of Phil's methods, but I do not 'hate' him. You claimed that he hadn't hurt people, which was grossly incorrect. Dendrophilian clearly stated his support for a society which permitted pedophilia. There was no hidden agenda. I did not say 'D' was evil, I said his video supported pedophilia. You said that after a private conversation with him he claimed otherwise.

[Gimmeabreakman]

I just realized something. You have every right to feel the way you do. I apologize. You see there are other conversations that take place, but some are for the public. Others are not. I am satisfied that D does not support P, and I can see how you can think my favoriting his video -- hypothetically (I have never favorited his vid, btw) could look like support.

I will agree that his video supported P, but there is more to HIM than that.

[TheSumpPump]

There may be much more to him, and I never said he was evil. Relax Victor, I sub to you because I like your stuff, but you haphazardly support things, and I think you should be a bit more careful.

[Gimmeabreakman]

Congrats, now your comments annoy me too.

NOW we're even.

:)

[TheSumpPump]

Victor you are like a Sugar Hill Gang rhyme... You go on, on and on and on and on.

[Gimmeabreakman]

over my head... no idea what that means. link please?

[mtamorphis]

check my favorites for Sugar Hill Gang vid.

[battim]

i think it was on justa11en page actallu where both allenm and i told you you were wither naieve of infdignant on the issue of dendorphilia. my take still stands.

[battim]

after ample time talking to a 17 year old vic is convinced because dendroasshole told him he was just trying to stir up shit, in other words, vic supports folks who like to encourage kids to think touching kids is ok just to stir the pot. great adult example to set.

[Gimmeabreakman]

blah, blah, blah... I've heard it all from you already. Nothing new.

I know why you say what you say.

You have me at a disadvantage.

And I'm not talking to you here, Goddaman Battim.

[mtamorphis]

Well, IMO it is that simple. EXTREME Example: Say you apply for a position that requires a indepth background check...I mean they go back 10-15 yrs talking to neighbors, relatives, friends..ASSOCIATES. What if one of your friends likes to take part in drugs...how do you explain being just friends, but you don't take part in the illegal activity? Old saying, you lay down with dogs you wake up with fleas!

[battim]

the extreem example is what was brough up. vicwas comparing apple to oranges, as he frequently does.

[binsk]

You have such a lovely face. Sorry if that sounds weird, but I thought it so I thought I would say it. :)

[mtamorphis]

Well..thanks Robin!

Succinct; to the point; and chock full of excellent advice.

[mtamorphis]

Thanks Danny!

[sablemable1]

the truth and nothing but

[mtamorphis]

Yep!

[Ranblv]

It's a tough call, I agree with you totally.

but I am not sure I am willing to give up on a friend just because he has a bad friend.

I do think if question marks arise, the first friend has only himself to blame.

[mtamorphis]

I hear you in reference to giving up a friend because they have a bad friend...but what if you are that friend associating with someone who is causing you nothing, but havoc in your life? Would you say enough...I gotta move on?

[Ranblv]

Yes I would, but I somehow doubt those "bad people" are being bad with that friend.

I am sure sarry's friends treat her nicely or she wouldn't be their friend, its to others they behave badly.

[mtamorphis]

True, I am sure they would not act out toward someone amongst themselves. The whole idea behind my vid was the association...being linked to unacceptable behavior, and how it can ultimately effect peoples perception of who you ARE....even if you do not believe in the others actions.

[StephStance]

I LOVE this video....... it is so clear

[xxScoutGirlxx]

MOMofStephStance is another soc account. How many more times are you going to favorite yourself?

I am glad you liked it Steph!

[RadicalComedy]

Part 1~ One of the problems I have had in my life is setting boundaries. Some of the people in my life, I wanted nothing to do with but trying to set boundaries with them, OR I wanted to be a nice person and help them even though I knew on some level they were whacked. I do feel we have to be available to some extent(not in terms of someone being dangerous) but to attempt a friendship with someone we would normally not, because someone has to do it to help the world run smoother. ~Raven

[RadicalComedy]

Part 2~ I always knew I would get hurt. I always knew that I couldnt trust them. I just wanted to be an example to them and had plenty of embarrassing moments with them in public. Eventually, I did what I could and walked away from the friendship but if I associated with only people I felt were sound, then I would have guilt and personally, I have only known of a few. ~Raven

[RadicalComedy]

Part 2~ Most people are totally pissed off at others for the same behavior that they do. Lots of people walking around with, "I can but YOU cant" principles in their relationships, marriage and life.

Lisa, this is just me venting. Nothing about it is in your direction at all obviously,... but from my experiences, someone has to give to those who dont give but we have to know when to walk away too. ~RAven

[MeanBlackDude]

Hello Raven.

[mtamorphis]

I understand your thinking, and I have been in many situations when I have extended a hand to help someone, even when I knew it could have put me in harms way. That being said, I have learned that sometimes you have to keep certain people even family at arms length. I can not and will not allow a person to disrupt my way of living and that encompasses every aspect...home, children, marriage, job etc.

[battim]

by the way i think i misspelled disassociate ten times...

[battim]

hmmmmmm....i think one can dissassociate without losing friendships. maybe dissassociating themselves with the "idea" that they disagree with is proper. for instance, i love my dad, but we fundementally disagree on some things, so i can publically dissassociate myself with the idea without disassciote myself from that person. i think that is what mark speaks to. fantasticbabblings and i are a good example, sometimes we disagree, it doesnt change our mutual respect.

[mtamorphis]

Yes, I do agree you can disassociate and still remain friends...all parties involved must be willing to come to that conclusion for it to be successful.

[AMCoffline]

some groups people belong to cannot be disassociated no matter how hard you try. In the case of family, no matter if you moved 10 states away and had an unlisted number, you are still part of the "group" simply because you are family. It is the chosen groups that generally cause loss of friendship at disassociation.

[weezie63]

well said hun

[mtamorphis]

Thanks Weezie!

[Pippilly]

Awesome video and so very true.

[mtamorphis]

Thanks Pip!

[MeanBlackDude]

Oops....forgot to say:

Great points in your video.

Thanks MBD!

100% on mark.

[mtamorphis]

Thanks!

[LilCav68]

disassociate... you know it...

[mtamorphis]

Disassociate in a heartbeat!

[MeanBlackDude]

Dammit Morphis!

You stole my beat!!!

Now I gotta rework. JK

Hey....good stuff on that page eh? Kinda sets the mood for some Hardcore Vlogging, huh!

[StephStance]

Ooo I am sure you can come up with a good beat.... lol

You play one fucking hand at a time and you call yourself a musician.You delude yourself into believing you are something you are not.UPC strikes *AGAIN*
