I can not believe I'm just reading this.... This is on my list of sickest/saddest stories I've every read. wow.

ja stu - "They have all lost their minds.I wonder if they would want that done to them or a member of their family." Based on what jumped off at the store, they would have probably taken the money out of their pockets.

Star - thanks for chiming in, you are on point!!!

some thoughts...

1. I'm not surprised by this story in the same way I'm not surprised that the VP of the USA can shoot someone in the face and then the victim apologizes for being shot in the face.

2. I'm trying to make sure that I don't have any people that could step over a dying woman or shoot their friend in the face and then cover it up in my inner circle.

3.

That cell phone taking photos seem to be world wide, just the other day a young man was dieing in a crashed motor car when some idiot instead of helping, took a photo and posted it on the internet, who needs to see that? They have all lost their minds.I wonder if they would want that done to them or a member of their family.

Bygbaby- You got me really thinking/researching the name thing. Thanks for inspiring me to write a post..just on names! And just when I thought I had "blogger block".

2007-07-06T13:45:00.000-04:00

It is a sad story. I cannot imagine this.

My thing is this. I get a headache about the hangups with names. Because of what I have been through I don't try to discriminate. Now ugly names and phonically misspelled names I have an issue with.

My name is Shai (shay) Lynn. For one it is one name in two parts. Then folks call me Shy instead of Shay. I could go on and on.

I read this on the internet yesterday , unfathomable that human compassion has left us .. How ironic with the name of cherish ...

I do not think cherish is a bad name , perhaps her mom named her that because she cherished her ... In this instance i agree with plack .

The internet is opening up new horizions , I guess we should not count on people's virtues or common LOGIC is

2007-07-06T10:39:00.000-04:00

Wow, just wow. Unbelievable. Between this and reading about those monster parents in Boston (the father repeatedly BIT and disfigured a 3 year old girl's face), I'm just thinking that human beings are becoming more and more depraved.

I love African names, I don't believe that those names are made up, they are actually translations of meaningful words in Kiswahili and other native

2007-07-06T09:58:00.000-04:00

This is to sad. The first thing about the names. My family and I tend to like simple, non-ethnic names. I am an American not an African. I think sometimes African names can be pretentious. Just my opinion. Second, the made up name thing is ridiculous. I mean I actually meet a woman named Shawandala- WTF? I think the story is beyond sad. There are more people on Earth than there ever has been;

2007-07-06T09:46:00.000-04:00

WTF!!!!!

Taking pictures on your cell phone. As far as I'm concerned she's an accomplice. Bygbaby, I hadn't heard this story. I can't even imagine what that poor girl was gooing through. Trying over and over again to get help. I will pray for her family. As far as that psychologist theory goes.... I don't know if I believe the whole "group thinking" process went on w/in this case. Just

2007-07-06T08:58:00.000-04:00

Erica C - The future of Black names is going to hell. If people want to be "different" why not choose an African name with pride & meaning behind it vs some made up bullshit!!!

Michelle - Them mutha fuckas that walked on by like Dion Warwick should get punished IMHO just for being fucked up people with compromised morals.

My mouth was gaped open the entire time I read this. Too fucking crazy! Who could do such a thing? Even some wild animals would have tried to help one another! Damn!

2007-07-06T08:39:00.000-04:00

I saw this story on CNN yesterday morning and I was livid. How in the world could you see someone bleeding to death and not help. Forget anything else going on...HELP the person in need. This is the reason certain people should not be able to bring new life into this world. Because they are not producing decent Human Beings with common sense. Even if they did not want to "get involved" they could

2007-07-05T21:30:00.000-04:00

You know, a friend and I had the same conversation just the other day. I'm a case manager and I mostly deal with young mothers. It really pisses me off to try and pronounce some of these children's names.It's like they are getting the shit end of the stick when it comes to any type of future employment, etc. I am 33 years old and I thank God that my mother taught me some common sense. That's why
