flawhs:

i’m a strong believer that not everything you do needs an explanation. if you want a tattoo, get one. if you rather stay home that night, it’s okay to miss that party. don’t forget that you’re living for yourself. you don’t owe anyone an explanation for your choices or preferences.

Agreed

I’M LAUGHING SO HARD OH MY GOD

that is why you don’t mess with hoodrats…

1. I do not agree with this women’s reaction.
2. I do not like that a lot of people in the inner city (and suburbs) have pitbulls and they use them for “protection”. 

Pitbulls by nature are not mean, they are loving gentle dogs so the fact that this homeowner sends her pitbulls to attack this woman upsets me. The dog has been trained to do this. I have had pitbulls for the past 15 years. The ones that we have raised since they were puppies have been the most gentle dogs. My dog comes to the door excited. He brings me a “gift” every time I come home. He is constantly happy, he gives me so many kisses I have to tell him to stop. He loves being outside and “exercising” the other dogs. He knows over 75 words. He is smart. He is a helper. He is gentle with my disabled Grandpa. He knows when we are hurting and sick. 

I as a white person will not understand what it is like to be a POC and lose my child to gun violence. 

I feel bad for laughing! This really should not have made it to the news. Just terrible

My new job has gotten me interested in doing a program abroad to help with the delivery of clean drinking water in under-served areas. Does anyone know of a program like this?

For just a moment, forget about the current skill level of the Charlotte Bobcats. Forget that they were the most Losing-est team in the entire league for a couple years in a row. At least this past year, they had more wins than the Orlando Magic.

Now, remember the old Charlotte Coliseum. Remember the dynamism of Mugsy Bogues and Dell Curry. Remember the Hornet two-toned teal and purple Starter jacket. Put one on and you’re instantly transported back to 1992!

Most Importantly, remember the meaning behind the Hornets’ name in Charlotte:  During the American Revolutionary War, British commander General Cornwallis occupied the city but was driven out by hostile residents, prompting him to write that Charlotte was “a hornet’s nest of rebellion”, leading to the nickname The Hornet’s Nest.To this day, our City Police brandish the hornet’s nest on its seal and many parks and schools are named after the hornet’s nest as well. 

If we can give a just little history back to an ever-changing city where we preserve so very little; it will mean that much more to the fans, Charlotte natives and people who move here.

Maybe when the seats are filled with fans and Hornets gear is flying of the shelves, owner Michael Jordan will see the value in this team and start working on their actual Basket ball SKILL…but that’s a different story. 

For now, be excited, not cynical. Excitement puts butts in seats and preserves a great symbol for our City. - Christine Edwards

Many key mayoral posts around the country will all be up for grabs this year—some for the first time in a generation. Ones to watch: New York City, Detroit, Boston, Charlotte, N.C., and Minneapolis.

Charlotte made the list. With all the activity going on lately, we were bound to make this type of list. Mayor Pro Temp Patrick Cannon is set to make his announcement tomorrow (5/21) at Elizabeth Park
