That's NOT Cute: Mothers teaching their daughters- Golddigging 101



Ok, I like plenty of others was doing my gossip site search and I know I am alittle late on this one. I love to talk about love and relationships....Can you tell?

But it boogles the mind, when as parents, someone chooses to lead their kids astray. With the crisis Black relationships are in, is it a wonder that men are cynical about a woman's motives when there is this mess going on?

The Tyra Banks show last week featured women ( and I use that term as loosely as they appear) to be teaching their little girls "social skills" of being gold diggers. For the love of money, these women are pimping their girls out. For emphasize, dictionary.com defines pimp as "a person, esp. a man, who solicits customers for a prostitute or a brothel, usually in return for a share of the earnings; pander; procurer." I guess after the mother is all died up, she will look to her daughter to take care of her.

I believe the children are OUR Future, not Our Pensions!

So tell me, where do we go from here?

There is such a thing as TMI

Doing my normal web surfing and did it ever occur to you that people (i.e. complete strangers) know to much about you? Well, it seems like big business is using your own "big brother" to follow you and determine your insurance cost. In the face of Congress dragging their feet on universal healthcare or the lack thereof, this should be a lesson.

So tell me, do you worry about what you share on your twitter or facebook?

Read the preview & Click the link to check out the article I found on Huffingtonpost:


Twitter and Facebook users could see their home insurance premiums rise by as much as 10 percent in the coming years, says Confused.com, a site that allows users to compare the cost of insurance across different providers.

Confused.com argues that social media services like Foursquare and Buzz can increase the risk of theft by alerting burglars to times when people are out of their homes, thus leading to home insurance hikes.

Confused.com isn't alone in worrying about the 'dark side' of status updates. As we wrote last week, the site 'PleaseRobMe.com' was created to make online tell-alls aware of the risks to publicly sharing their location. The site essentially tells the world when Twitter users aren't at home by aggregating location check-ins posted to the microblogging site.
