People Mindsay @ MindSay 
"politics, it's a drag
they put one foot in the grave
and the other on the flag
systems rotten to the core
young and old deserve much more
than struggling every day until you're done"
--Both Sides of the Gun by Ben Harper
This may be because of the fact that we are towards the end of a election year, or that ever since Bush was swore in to office the country has been divided, or the fact that liberals and conservatives will never see eye to eye, but there is alot of political (and general) hatred on Mindsay right now.
Sure, my hands aren't clean of talking about the other side of the political spectrum. But most of what isn't mean.
Why can't we have a polite open debate? When these blog networks were started that was one of the things they had in mind.
Too many people are just on here being mean. Homophobes, racists, sexists. right-winger, left-wingers, religous-intolerants, they are all here trying spreading their hatred. Mindsay deserves better. They call it a community for a reason. We are all here together and we all have the right to be. We cna either use this site to spread hatred or we can use it to try and better the world. I'd hope we would choose to try and vetter the world.
I know people sometimes think that people agree wiht their opinions, or that their opinions don't offend. I also know that when people write on this they can sometimes think that no one will read them.
Please think about what you are writing and the people who may read it. Too many people's feeling can get hurt.
Thanks for Reading,

I was bored this morning, and decided to browse through random people on mindsay. Alot of faces I had never seen, since I usually would like to think I've seen a nice chunk of mindsay people. And some profiles I thought were interesting, but had just never bothered to read. Laziness? not quite. more like their picture didnt interest me enough. I didnt even give someone's profile a chance because of it's "appearance". and I wondered if any of us have been turned down or missed oppurtunities to make new Mindsay friends solely based on that we judged their icon or they judged ours.
along with this I was reminded how cold I can be in person to people I don't know. I assume their character and just shut them down. When I'm at the gym I seemingly hate every guy because I assure myself that they're all meat heads with no brains and just want shallow insanely fit women. maybe if I opened up more with just a smile at the gym, I could show people I'm not a cold man hating bitch. I say I dont want people to judge me by my appearance, but I did it anyways to people I dont know.
your thoughts?

Well I went to dad's to get the car looked at. And the brakes were all needing change. But now I got the car back My dad's telling me that the brakes are soft. And I'm like ok. And when I go to stop the car doesn't stop until maybe 20 feet later @_@. Just what I need doh! >.< Been reading the new EGM videogame magazine. They're talking about all the new generation consoles coming out.
There's a rumour of Soul Calibur 3 going to Xbox 360 next spring. It made me wanna cry!! >.< Before I forget. Thanks for voting me number 1 for thanksgiving. It was okay funny. I got the idea when mom cooked something and she actually said, "Taste so good make you wanna slap somebody!" And it was going off in my head Mindsay Mindsay Mindsay! haha. But I'm guessing it had to do with Miss JadeElizabeth there =P Such a sweet girl =P.
In other news it's time to do some Cartoon Network News. Okay it's been a while since I done anything on that. We all know that the BoonDocks are now on t.v. Arron G. basically wanted it TVMA the way he really wanted it. So cursing here and there and all this crazy stuff. The animation is gorgeous. But the show isn't doing very good. And I'm kind of glad. A lot of Cartoon Network guys are like ehhhh. Even the Adult Swim guys are ehhhh it as well. I mean the last thing I want to see is another angry black guy having to talk through a show you know what I mean. And for the show to use the N word so many damn times. Come on that's just stupid. Thats not helping the show at all period. That's really pathetic and I hate how it goes. I know it's on a lot of political stuff but no one wants something like that.
Enough about that. Cartoon Network has been trying another approach, most people should have noticed. You're starting to see live action movies on CN. Everybody is shocked I guess for it being an all cartoon television. My brother was explaining how Disney is making a comeback and killing them in the ratings. Have you noticed that Nick an dDisney all have live action shows and are both beating CN. So it's interesting how it's working out. Because the biggest show on Disney is That's So Raven. I kno you life now. But man my brother was like naming the actors and talking aobut it. She making a whole bunch of money for Disney it's insane. So Cartoon Network is showing more live action movies and developing shows.
You guys have seen Tim Burton's Batman, there's the Goonies, Small Soilders. I wonder if they'll show Cool World. You guys remember that Brad Pitt movie with cartoons!?! What about Bebe Kids! Who Framed Roger Rabbit got them good reviews. You can hardly find that on DVD and it barely ever comes on t.v. So yeah live action is getting the ratings right now. So CN is going to come out with at least one or two shows live action. But that's pretty much it on Cartoon Business.
