State of the Community....

In today's world we are no longer looking out for the next man, woman, or child. There once was a time where if a child was acting up or out of line of any sort, the neighbors would step in and discipline or at least get the child in order. To see a woman struggling with her grocery bags was kind of unheard of. There was a gentleman that seemed to appear out of nowhere to assist her with her things. A man that needed a helping hand somehow received it.
But as we all know, times have changed and have changed for the worst. No longer are children being brought up by the community. No longer do we see gentlemen assisting women with anything, and men don't even have a helping and or a pot to piss in if needed.
People are so into themselves and what others can do for them, not what they can do for others. The struggle of today has forced the good mans hand to not have a conscious. The children are running the streets with wreck lace abandonment. Every man, woman, and even child for themselves is the unspoken motto.

Q) How do you feel about this?

A) I personally feel that it is a main ingredient for disaster and self destruction. It is a selfish way of life that we should try to change. It has caused a major setback to all people and is
poison.

Q)Do You consider yourself a Victim of this way of life?

A)At times I have noticed myself thinking just for myself or just the immediate people I know, but I have grown out of that mentality. I am giving back to the community more than I ever have throught volunteer work, feeding the homeless, and giving time to organizations that gives back as well.

Q) What can we do to change this?

A) Giving back to the community, letting them know that they are not left alone in their time of need. Teach the youth the correct way of life and that the easy way out isn't the best way to go. Teach them that hard work is just a test of strength within themselves and is very rewarding in the end.

Social Sites and what you think of them?

As I've noticed and been saying to my friends and associates for sometime now, most social networking sites have become a form of therapy to a lot of people. People logging on sharing their lives so that their close friends and family members can view. Expressions being heard not just for the people or persons intended for, but for the world to see.
Bold statements and thoughts being tweeted or posted on status pages. Everyone responding to them, even friends you may not have or will never meet.
The time and age where sitting down face to face has died out, probably not completely but for the majority of people in today's society. So when you have something on your mind that you may want to express, you can log-on and talk it over on social sites. You get somewhat of the same kind of therapeutic relief as if you were in therapy.

Q1) Is this the right way to express yourself and be heard exposing your thought so many people can read?

A1) I personally think that you have to be careful of what is said. Airing of dirty laundry is definitely not anything I would suggest. There are people that don't have good intentions in this world of ours. But on the flip side, if expressing yourself on a social site helps you from doing something that you will later regret, than I'm all for it. The situation differs from person to person and topic to topic.

Q2) For those who actually do this, does this help you relieve your stress?

A2) It doesn't help me relieve stress but I can understand when you want to be heard and just want some kind of a response. I'm just the kind of person where I just like to address that person or problem when time permits.

Social sites also have been rumored to have a bad taste on peoples relationships. Making it an easy way to meet new people outside of networking. New relationships form and the current relationships get put in jeopardy if not broken up.

Q3) So, should you be cautious of social sites?

A3) I don't think that you have to be cautious of any sites. Trust in the person you are with has to be developed between you and your significant other. I personally believe that you can meet people walking outside, driving, or even at work. So, blaming it on a social site is an excuse. Whether your relationship isn't going well or you or your significant other is just not true.

Q4) Is it the actual site that you have to worry about or your significant other?

A4) As I stated in my last response, I believe its not the social sites. Social sites are intended to be for networking and connecting with friends. Its the people on them that take it to another level and bring the rumors to life.

Q5) Has having a social site torn you/or your significant other apart?

A5) Not in my life.


Now there are many goods of having a social site. Networking with other business minded people as yourself, knowing about what's hot, parties, events, and more. Even actually getting away from someone or something bad in your life, and finding that peace of mind to help you take steps forward.

Q6) How has the social networking world helped you out?

A6) Connecting with friends all the way from elementary to ex-workers. Spreading positive news about www.studiodartmag.com. Seeing the different views of life through the eyes of many, and much more.

Q7) Do you think social sites have more of a positive aspect on people than a negative?

A7) I personally think it is what you make it out to be. I look at these sites as more so of a positive for people, but have noticed the negative in them as well. I connect with all my friends and associates from different areas of the world and without paying a monthly bill.

"Let's Keep it 100"

I asked the question to some people and want to know how you all feel about it as well.
People in life are always wanting and asking for people to be honest, truthful, 100, or however you want to put it. They claim that they can handle the truth and do not want or liked to be lied to. There is a saying that you should be careful of what you ask for because you just might get it. People are always being told and promised things by others in their life, now whether or not it is the truth or not depends on your situation and relationship in your past.
Well, I am making a point because I have witnessed people that somehow accepted dishonesty in their life and know that it is not anywhere near being truthful.

Q) Giving your personal opinion, what makes people come to this point?

Q) Is being truthful sometimes a thin line of being too blunt or even being too rude?

Q)Is there a good and reasonable time to not be truthful?


We all know cases where you or someone else has told someone what they WANT to hear, rather than to tell them what they NEED to hear, just to satisfy them or to not break their heart(s).

Q) Is or was this the best resolution for both you and that person?

Q)Eventually did the TRUTH come to the light and how did it affect the rest of your relationship with that person?

Q) If you or someone you know that has come across this in your life, have you or that person come accustomed to being told what you WANT, rather than what you NEED to hear?
