My comments were for Glad, and noone else. I love 75, he's my buddy, but I had to call him out on his post, that post was pretty mean spirited.

Yes, I heard his speech that he directed towards me, lol. If everyone hit me with so much truth in one thread and I was ignorant to it all at the beginning my head would spin to.
You mean things aren't going to go well with my relationship with the trash girl I shouldn't have boned?
My ridiculous idea to invest in Silver won't do shit to push me out of my current situation?
This whole Jesus thing is just meant to control the weak minded?
WTF... my head would spin too!!!
But on a serious note avoiding reality like this will end up fucking his life up. Maybe not the Jesus thing, IDK.
Well bottom line is glad stepped up to the plate and is spending time with his kid. I dunno the statistics exactly but I would guestimate that half of kids being born today in the US have no daddy figure in their lives, and I might be generous with that guess. and even ones that do sometimes the dad ends up leaving at some point abandoning them.
even those of you that hate glad have to admit that he man'd up here. for every glad there are 2 guys that would of not wanted anything to do with the baby. say what you want but the dude has a good heart and stepped up, so i give him credit

This is true and he should be commended for this. It is a shame that it has to be commended in society, but he could be doing the wrong thing and he is not. I was young and hardheaded at one point too. Eventually most of us learn..

o so u are full time hater, good for u
oh I give him credit for wanting to do the right thing and take care of his kid, be there in his life, etc. I hope he feels this way forever and not just when it's "cool to be that young family with the buff kid at the head of the table who prays with his family before they eat a meal".
But to hear him say something like that and then talk about how selfish everyone else is and how selfless he is really makes me lol...and feel sorry for him and his kid. He may think he's grown up, but he still has a long way to go. I think he's getting the idea though. Keep focusing on that kid and how you can do the best by him as possible, glad.

ditch the huge CZ earrings, otherwise nice pics.
Seriously. I was hoping it wasn't his baby so he'd have a chance to grow up a bit more before having this kind of responsibility but I have nothing but applause for the fact that he has stepped up in a huge way.
Ceo....I agree with your lol, but at the same time, he's just reacting defensively because lart is constantly on this guy. he's made strides, has a long way to go, but I think it's great that he's making the effort.
this is what i found on google..
1. From 1960 to 1990, the number of children living apart from their biological father rose from 17 percent to 36 percent.
2. In inner cities, one in five children live with their father.
3. Forty percent of children in fatherless homes have not seen their father in at least one year.
4. Fifty percent of children living without their father have never set foot in their father’s home.
5. Sixty-three percent of young people who commit suicide are from fatherless homes.
6. Eighty-five percent of children who exhibit behavior disorders are from fatherless homes.
7. Eighty percent of rapists are from fatherless homes.
8. Seventy-one percent of high school dropouts are from fatherless homes.
9. Seventy-five percent of all adolescent patients in chemical-abuse centers are from fatherless homes.
10. Seventy percent of juveniles in state operated institution come from fatherless homes.
11. Eighty-five percent of youth in prison are from fatherless homes. 12. Seventy percent of teen pregnancies are from fatherless homes.

yes.
if the choices are
A: sending your kid 5K per month from across the country and never seeing him vs.
B: spending time with him and providing him with the essentials.
B wins everytime.

Time will tell folks. He's in a hard spot and it is easy to fall into the wrong kind of thinking. I could be totally wrong.
He could become a silver millionaire in the future and be married happily for many years while bringing his family to church every Saturday.
Anything is possible!

False dilemma. Your bifurcated argument is fallacious. Both A and B are false; neither is "stepping up to the plate", nor are options ever limited to only A and B.

I would give it more than a couple weeks before blowing so much smoke up his ass. I mean how long has this been goin on ? 2 weeks? It is a move in the right direction and hopefully glad will get his schooling done and get a career going and be able to give the kid a great life. He is motivated and that is always a plus.

I think what's being said is..... consider the picture Glad has painted for himself on this site over the years(self inflicted). Some of you dog him, kick em while he's down, make fun of and joke about him and his life. Therefor by him being there for his kid and providing a stable environment (stepping up to the plate) seems to go against the very beliefs that some of you have towards him as a person and a new Dad.
Simply put he has stepped up to the plate 1)compared to most men in America. 2) Some of you would have bet he would never take responsibility and or sustain that responsibility as a Father.

bingo. and considering glad is close to his dad himself I would bet big that he will be there for his son too.
Again, false dilemma. Merely negating a choice of two negative qualities doesn't make a positive or mean one's stepping up to the plate. I understand what you people are trying to say, but it's completely trivial.

You're arguing that X is true because of A and B. I'm stating that this is false.

I'm reminded of a Chris Rock bit where he's getting on guys for being proud of taking care of their kids. "You're SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!"
But the fact is at a young age doing what you are supposed to is fairly uncommon. How many people really had their shit together at 21? I had a lot of things going right, but I had plenty going wrong too. Knowing the right thing and doing it, at 21, is worthy of recognition in my opinion.

True. I likely define 'stepping up to the plate' as something very different from some of you.
Guys in my highschool had low standards all the time, it was no big deal.
... I'm debating whether or not to even bring up the obvious christian argument as to what's right and wrong here.
I don't know what America you're living in, but I will call BS on that. Maybe we hang in different circles, but "most" of the men I know who are fathers are full involved in their kids' lives.
You are painting him as some kind of fucking saint for (as nef reminded us) doing what he's supposed to fucking do. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's doing that rather than the opposite and being a deadbeat. But, I don't think he deserves accolades for simply being there for his kid.
Our expectations of Glad before this has always been that he was a self absorbed narcissistic kid. Now that hes going against that image it just seems so "incredible" and considered above and beyond simply based on the image he has already created of himself on this board.
Kinda if someone like Plunkey said he got someone pregg and said he was going to do the right thing and take care of the child. We would all be like "Ok, cool rob", but wouldnt be gushin over how hes stepping up to the plate and how its such a stretch to do the right thing.

Don't...we've had enough of those threads recently lol
Or....some of us believe that we are all born sinners....and that the best we can do is try, repent and try again.
One thing I love about my current church is that there is not an ounce of judgement anywhere, for anyone. The harm of sin is seen as something that puts a wall between you and god, not that it makes you evil. They teach that all sins, past present and future were redeemed by christ's death. That doesn't mean you get free reign to do whatever the eff you like, but it does mean that they realize living a good life is a journey of successes and failures, and a fight against our basic nature.
Yeah, but most just don't try too hard. And to most it does mean free reign to do whatever the eff they like. Now of course they'd never admit that, but that's what they believe in their hearts.

It's hard to make something like that a priority all the time...if it was easy everyone would do it. I used to think that christians were the most judgemental people out there but I've found that everyone is the same..everyone likes to kick someone when they are down
Then people don't want to share their problems among friends for fear of ridicule. No one gets through life without some bumps along the way.
nah, it's more like when someone does something that they consider a sin and supposedly feel guilt over and repent...yet they continue in the same behavior(s) that caused them to "sin" in the first place. They continue "sinning" with no real intention of turning from the behavior that caused them to "sin" in the first place.
Too much pressure. Just quit.

Oh, and I still think xtians are usually more judgmental, because there are more things are "sins" to them. Someone can talk about how they went out last weekend, got drunk and high and banged 3 chicks at the same time and I would cheer them on whereas a xtian would see all that as sin, and likely hold some judgment against them (even if they pretended not to).

Even outside Christianity there is still morality and don't say there isn't...even if there are no absolute right and wrong there is still a right and wrong..we just can't pin it down...it would depend on the chicks and the situation..but if you use three women as a means to your own end at their expense it is still immoral outside xtianity. Getting tipsy and high is not a sin in xtianity so so the only thing we are talking about here is the three chicks and how you banged them and how you went about banging them and how manipulative you were. A non xtian could still hold judgment...xtians are not the only people with moral standards...please.
true, but you could take 100 church-going xtians and 100 non believers and you'd have probably at least 90 xtians thinking "immoral sinner" and maybe 50 (maybe) non believers thinking "immoral". I wasn't speaking in absolutes. Let's pick different sins. How about pornography? More xtians see that as sin/immoral than non xtians.
Getting drunk to excess and getting high isn't sin? Hm. and fornication isn't always sin, but it depends on the situation? I like your church! lol!

It's very funny to me how I am suppose to be the most hateful fucker here but am one of a very few who ever have a good thing to say to this kid or offer him support in any shape. Lart STFU dude you don't know shit bout shit bro enjoy your life and your sweet pretty gf and your house music and raves bro. Glad needs real life advice from fucking grown folks with kids not a bunch of single childless going on 40 fuck sticks and their worthless fucking opinions. CEO is a smart nugga but a stern fatherly type bro theres always good in his posts if you read closely. I miss that shit sometimes wit my fucked up eye and all. Most of the rest of you and not all are just spewing worthless shit that shows nothing but what a bunch of douches you nuggas are. Pokey glad to see you in here supporting bro. Glad there are some here that want the best for ya buddy. And FYI being a Daddy to a kid is a big fucking deal these days if you bitched hadn't looked around lately there's a bunch of single moms struggling their ass's off and video games and tv shows are raising more kids than the fucking parents. Bitch ass nuggas gonna fucking die. I gotta list Wurd

lol, I like that post. I think people are supportive in different ways though. I keep it real with everyone. Even if they are famous or own this club or whatever.. The people who are successful appreciate my advice because few people have the balls to really say what is on their mind. I don't lose friends with my attitude, but actually gain respect from people. Other people here are emotionally supportive. "You can do it"
That is well and good, but it can be supporting bad behaviors at the same time. I knew at 21 I was far from reaching my goals, if I had not I would still be working at that Deli. (and buying silver etc..) I have been nothing but emotionally supportive through PM with Glad and generous. He knows this, he also doesn't say as much outlandish shit when I have spoken to him via PM. He sounds a little more grounded like people in RL describe him. I hope the best for him, but I am also not going to support bad ideas.

Somehow I can't help but feel I hit the nail on the head in that post.
I dunno...there's a difference between supporting someone and simply telling them what they want to hear. A lot of folks on here (myself included) have tried the former with Glad many times to no avail. You've been dry humping the dude's scrotum from Day 1, so you fall into the latter category.
For the kid's sake, I wish nothing but the best for Glad and hope that he can indeed build a good family, learn a few (aka a lot) of things, and be a good father. He seems to be fully committed emotionally and that's 95% of the battle, IMO, and puts him ahead of many of the young "fathers" in this country today.
Although I give him a lot of shit on here, Ive said before I'm sure he and I would get along great if we were out having a few Miller Lights / Blue Moons as he seems like a nice enough kid.

Regardless knee-grow you know I like you, and I know you're a smart bidness minded dude, and from that prespective I have much respect for you. But this young man is a father, he needs to understand two things, number 1- what he wants or even needs don't mean shit anymore, because that baby comes first. Number 2- his ass ain't cool nomore. Lots of people don't understand when you become a parent, your ass just lost your COOL Certificate. I'm a lot of things in this world, and asshole is pretty close to the top of that list, but above and beyond anything I am a good father. My life and every second I have to spare is dedicated to my children. There are many ways to measure success and being a good parent should be held in the highest regard, but look around you, you'll see by the condition of this country that it's not. My point is bawlin and shot callin, should never take priority over your children. And you only know this if you have them.
Indeed.
I think it's something like:
1) Blind
2) Paraplegic
3) Asshole
4) White Trash
5) Poor due to sending all money to plank for photoshoppery
6) Someone that needs to stfu

Glad is doing what he (should) be doing we know this. NO xtra points here for that. MY only point was that most of you would bet he wouldnt be based on his rep here.
Saint?? Accolades? ....lol no bro hahaha wouldnt classify what I said as any of that.
The America I live in is a $broke$ nation. A nation built on debt with endless financed wants. The ideas of family and marraige are broken. Divorce is a normal occurance. Childrens education is crap, parental involvement in their Childrens lifes are minimal or at the basic level. The very landscape that relationships have historically been built off has changed and will continue to change. The kids get the back burner for the majority of people. NOT saying you or all the other fully funcitonal people are doing anything wrong, obviously. That comment wasnt directly at anybody other then the Men/Women that choose to live their lives oblivious to the fact they have a child in this world. The Men/Women that allow a welfare check to replace what $$ support they could atleast be providing. The Men/Women that blame the Mother/Father at being a total bitch/dick just to use that against there own kid for the reason for not being in their lives.
Why would it be an addiction? I wouldn't see it as an addiction unless it was interfering with other things in his life, like work or things he would otherwise normally do.
I've been in church before. I know that someone can't even so much as look at porn and it's considered an addiction. Funny that a xtian can have a drink or two of alcohol and not be "addicted" but a xtian guy surfs some porn for 20 minutes and he's "addicted".
Interesting that you would use that term. Not that I didn't fully expect it, as it's really more typical than interesting.
same.
What's wrong with 20 mins a day? Don't most guys jack off pretty much daily? If he has the time, energy and resources, I see nothing wrong with 20 mins of porn a day.

I don't get why checking out porn in a relationship is a big deal when one party isn't down for sex and the other is. I think that's a healthy alternative when your SO can't/won't get down at a moment when you want to. As long as you don't turn me down for porn and porn isn't an addiction, knock yourself out.

I have my own collection of pr0n and i look at internet pr0n at least once a week. what's the big deal? if no one's home, I'm bored and horny, I see nothing wrong with rubbing one off real quick. I don't mind if my man does the same. As long as we still have a healthy sex life.
Some people need to get the sticks out of their asses.
no one (on here) said it was.
I didn't say anyone here thought it was, but people were saying how their or their friend's wives had a problem with it.
i.e.:
i.e.:
Plus one. As long as him watching porn doesn't mean I get less sex, and it's not to the point that it negatively affects other aspects of his life, I really don't care.
lol @ "busted"
I'd stop and be like, "I'm glad you're home, would you like to help me finish here or should I just continue myself?"
I'd give my wifey about a 50/50 chance at saying yes...but about a 85-90% chance if I said I would really like her to.
It would depend on the circumstances. If kids were around, she had to leave again due to appointment, etc.
