These types of conversations are important. Free yourself from the imaginary shackles and false pain of words. Stop telling people to change their words because you don’t like them. That’s childish.

I don’t belong to anything. Neither do you. You’re not a possession.
I am able to point to any word in the dictionary without being hurt or offended. Im starting to believe I have a superpower.

You realize you’re just making words that make YOU feel better, because you feel bad for someone who is not offended, right?
Slum, trailer park, ghetto, shit hole, dump. You can call it whatever makes you feel nice and empathetic, but it’s still the same thing.

Poor,marginalized, low income, = ghetto. It’s literally the definition. I get feeling bad for poor people, but for fuck sake. How is it possible to be offended by a word…

Does that make sense though? I mean, he didn’t have to “right equipment” either. But he used what he had and it worked.
I bet Manny would also say that he was poor at the time. Maybe even living in a ghetto.
Don’t be insulted. Be motivated. This is awesome.

Not a bit. I admire Manny’s perseverance.
