Either way, I don't like it either. We as humans unfortunately tend to categorize things into neat packages even though there's variations in every package.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927913231608056129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-1145382707507793332006-04-18T12:51:00.000-05:002006-04-18T12:51:00.000-05:00Yeah labels are whack.Yeah labels are whack.N4Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159521416061385061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-1145368755317384452006-04-18T08:59:00.000-05:002006-04-18T08:59:00.000-05:00I agree with you.

Generalizing any group of people gives rise to debate.<BR/><BR/>People always want to define something because it helps people define themselves. It tells folk where they belong or don't belong...<BR/><BR/>The problem with that is that everyone defines everything differently...<BR/><BR/>It's still early, but I hope yall get what I am getting at.Ladynayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767090012719390044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-1145335400717673702006-04-17T23:43:00.000-05:002006-04-17T23:43:00.000-05:00Labels are crazy that's why I don't believe in the...Labels are crazy that's why I don't believe in them because people try to live up to them. We get stereo typed why is that. If I were a straight guy fucking all crazy going to clubs and inpregnating women. What type of lifestyle would we call that. That's why I try to live outside that box.4GOTTEN1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06995086292486700473noreply@blogger.com
