Here were the comments: Unfortunately, not all social media users agreed with her. "Why do women like you wear see thru clothes, then get mad when men treat them likes sluts? I guess you dont [sic]," one person commented.

They say that objectifing is bad, but then do stuff like this. What are they doing it for... To tease themselves? Narcissists? Control? How much more obvious can one be? How can one expect to not objectify? Why the double standard. But, don't let me stop anyone's fun. Bless me Father for I have sinned, my last confession was 20 years ago. I have impure thoughts. Many, many... And I can't get them outta my head.

Yeah... I got no problem if people do it for the love of it... Truly enjoy it, spend away. But, Jonsing is so not in my mindset. We all waste money on crap... But do it for yourself... Not because of others. Jonsing is hard to prove though. And easy to call out.

Yeah... But who am I to tell them how to spend their disposable money... It is a free country.

"What happens in the Southern Hemisphere, stays in the Southern Hemisphere"

LoL... Ooops!

Don't quote me on it... Just listening to what a co-worker said. I am under the impression you can upload different courses... All over the world. Like a biking, touring simulator. Of course for bookoo bucks more!

Anyway... Ain't a "peloton" a French biking mob, spandex mafia? Who wants to be a controlled lemming in a peloton? Aren't they like Trump Deplorables? Ooops, my bad. Those things aren't cheap. Like 2-3 grand or more... For an exercise bike with virtual capability to take you high in the Alps. LoL... The Rich get all the cool toys!

Yeah... But she was skinny, fit to begin with... How did it transform her life? Maybe loading the virtual biking through various parts of the world? How does that tramsform your life? People with disposable income and gratuitous avtivity time. ??

I am not even on social media... Knew nothing of it until a co-worker told me. I could have guessed it... The commercial is very weird. I seen commercial and inwas like: "Huh?" What focus group were they using? All coastal elites?

Only thing I have an issue. That's very subjective. I can tell you cases were the A student, worker is totally at a disadvantage... Struggling... Where the C student, lazy, playing video games is successful. Yet... Somethings come easy for some when they finally apply themselves. OR... Maybe, just maybe they were applying themselves all along. The decisions parents make, diverging roads they go down shouldn't be made at those junctures. The old adage: "Get good grades and work hard" is crashing and burning in the 21st Century. People are burning out.

Yeah... Burn my skin, inject monkey frog poison will surely get me from flopping around floor! Like drilling a hole in your head for a headache, during Middle Ages. "Mr.Exiled, do you have a headache... No. No... I am fine thank you!" I guess not so voluntary, but involuntary... Yet, similar: Oh my... "You having a seizure! We are gonna burn you and inject poison in you... That should tell your brain to stop all the shenanigans and send it's valuable resources elsewhere!" Zoom in on hands. Hands are always a dead give away of a female's age. Face too, probably why the profile. They look old. But, yeah... She looks 12. I guess that's cool now. Yuck!

Huh! HUH!! /smh

That's never a constant. IMO. For the many out there. But I generally agree. Just not quick to claim those as hard constants. Even loving equally, sometimes may take a hit.

That's nice on paper, but I beg to differ. Something is different... In the equation. Not just the child.

We will show him what diversity is. Probably love it here (as I do)! We, as a country, really contain multitudes. On other hand, I need to ship my daughter to New York. Let the youth, that some of us so gleefully treat as the most important, get a good, very good idea of what's out there past their "internet" and own physical world. Sounds like many (not just children) need a "change of venue" to grasp what's really out there. Where do family resources ($$$) fit in? More the majority, people are simply making too little.

PETA People the most important thing in the world is the ethical treatment of animals. They want to knock on doors and release all the animals. Let me tell you this... Our cat Champ won't last two minutes out there. He's just a scared white cat in a black neighborhood. Now the other cat Chester. He'd hang in the hood swing for a few days before the coyotes got him. /smh... He's annoying like that. ?

Who doesn't want to be a Yankee?

Of course he does. I understand that What if he doesn't want to? Do you force him. FWIW... I agree with you. You are doing a great job, more need to be like you.... BUT, you are still number #1 and he knows it, you raised him right. People are just humble enough not to have to ram down their kid's throat. The trust lies in they won't cross you and needlessly rebel. But, there is one thing that always changes the game: addiction. Rosemond would have no problem with you. You rule the roost. Set limits. Etc...

Yeah... It's all smoke and mirrors. LoL... Not saying they are poor. They are loaded beyond my wildest dreams. But... All I am saying... What do these #s really mean besides getting the poor slob fan worked into a lather. ???

Spoiling is on their end. It's how they react to the resources and tools made available to them. Nice! Thanks! You're an old fogey to. Over the hill.

Bingo... Totally agree. Same here... We never stepped foot in Europe... Son sent to Germany, daughter to Italy... Now, daughter is going to Spain in April. Because they are top priority... But won't shield them from the daily brutality of life. My daughter is still only 17. Son is 21. They don't think they are #1. But, they work... Their education, discipline... It's their job right now. Nothing is handed. Tools are given Spoiling them, IMO, is shielding them. Not equipping them to dealing with life. Isolating them. I refuse to do that. Even if it means they are the minority in the situation. Biggest thing? Don't let them slip into addiction. The material world goes hand in hand with addiction. It's okay to give materially... But there has to be caveats. No caveats with love. I think some are confusing what Rosemond is saying.

Also... @Gugny That's the way "you want him to treat others." What if he doesn't?

Just saying... Driving them places is not treating them like the next best thing since sliced bread. That ain't spoiling. Way too much misplaced angst in this thread. It's not all or nothing. Rosemond always gets a rise out of people, for years now. 2. Don’t Take Anything PersonallyNothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. +1. Stay the course!

They still pay more in Euro soccer. Only $36m/year... He won't see thr whole 9 years. Chump change when it comes to soccer.
