Why don't people mind their OWN business?

It is SOOOOOOO easy to point the finger & make judgments on people! that YOU DON'T KNOW! "WHY?" you ask. Because it's easier & more soothing to the human conscience to find fault in some1 else's sins instead of LOOKING @ YOUR OWN!
For example, "I may be a married man who's having an affair with my coworker, & I may cheat on my income taxes, & I may even pay child support for a kid that I never met that lives in another state, but @ LEAST I'M NOT MICHAEL VICK! HE'S A DOG KILLER!" Please note: I AM IN NO WAY CONDONING MICHAEL VICKS ACTIONS! But in a nutshell, what does HIS SINS have to do w/ YOUR SINS?
I've also noticed that the ones who blab the most do NOTHING to solve the problem. The ones who yack to high heaven about Michael Vick, DON'T GIVE their time & money to animal shelters, don't volunteer in an animal shelter, & DON'T EVEN OWN A PET! Yet, they talk about his sins. What he did cruel, but what does he have to do w/ you?
What are YOU DOING to make this world a better place? Are donating your time & money to animal & women shelters? Are you volunteering @ children's hospitals, or orphanages? Are you reading to children in a library, or tutoring or coaching JUST FOR FUN (& Not just for work or for your kids, because even tho they are still noble acts, you're doing them out of obligation & necessity.)
ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING @ ALL???
Instead of pointing the finger @ some1 else, why not slap your own wrist & hang your own head in shame for YOUR OWN CRIMES!

+2Nobody minds their own business. What are you so angry about?? If you were famous and you did something ... guess what? Regardless of if its good or bad its in the public eye. I think its gross but people eat it up. Tabloids, gossip mags, paparazzi, etc... its not going to change so I would just let that anger goooo. It isn't healthy.
This weekend, Michael Vick played football amid protest. But those protesters I know, I know, did many things that they themselves weren't proud of.... affairs, abuse, cheating, lying, etc. This Michael Vick case, plus countless others is a classic example of "Take the log out of your own eye before you remove the twig from your brother's."
I was on South St. last week & I went into a t-shirt shop. There, on the shelf was a bunch of 3Mikes: Vick, Jordan, & Jackson. By the Vick t-shirts, a salesclerk made the following sign: "Michael Vick did his time & paid for his crime. Get off his back. 2nd chances in this city are a JOKE." It made me sad. In 1 respect, I do understand. What he did was wrong. No doubt about it. But there are people who keep jawing about what HE'S done, knowing full well that they THEMSELVES have done some shitty shit.... I mean, REAL shitty. The only difference is that it hasn't been seen, yet.
My city is full of hypocrites. I see it everyday. & If I had the money to move, I would. But then what city isn't?
It's so wonderful talking to you! & I thank you so very much for your response!
No problem XD I like talking to you too..haha
I lau"feel sorry and pity for those who make believe they are understanding, but get them behind closed doors, and "The N-Word," and other derogatory names come out, always with that sly wink of the eye. I have never let anyone do that around me without loudly announcing my bloodline, and the fact that my mother was part Black, part Chinese and a wonderfully large proportion of Israeli Jew.
Shuts them up right away. I lost a lot of so-called friends, but I am proud of my heritage, and their loss was my gain. I will tell you one thing though, it sure separated the Chaffe from the "Actual Wheat!
If you want change, you gotta start with the man in the mirror.
... shouldn't...
(& There's an AWFUL lot of broken glass on the ground... don't cut your feet.)
If you want change, you must start w/:
... because we only have 1:
This still rings true 2000 years later... how come we STILL don't listen?

So mind ur own buisnesses peoples!
Mabeline with smudge sponge on the end is good.
You not only missed the point
you missed the
& you didn't:
Didn't I or didn't not just say that "I try not speak on other people's problems because I'M NOT THEM!" Didn't I say that...? I think I said it... I'm quite sure I did @ 0:25-0:35. & Those examples were generalizations, but I'm surprised that you took them so seriously. Obviously it is YOU who likes to run your mouth w/ your ears clogged up. Thank you for your comments.
Lastly even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I feel I have a right to express my opinions, I volunteer at a battered womens shelter and am an assistant teacher in a GED prep program. I can't give money because I can barely afford to support my family.
For example, do I think what Vick did was ok? No, however I do not condemn nor judge him, I left that to the courts.
Lastly, I do my best to help those in need whenever I can, anyone who would like to tell me it is not enough is free to judge me however they so choose. Frankly it does not bother me.
