FOR BROTHERS ONLY!!! (MENS FORUM)
I would like to invite brothers to come out and converse about issues that we as men and young men go through. (Stress, relationships, finances, goals, decision making, women, sex, drugs, God and whatever else may be on your heart, mind, and spirit) Noone will be judged, or criticized. As men we tend to either hold our feelings in or express them through physical aggression. This forum will give men who normally wouldn't express themselves, a platform verbalize their issues and receive positive feedback and alternatives to dealing with those issues. The purpose of this forum is to create a brotherhood where we can all learn from one another and help build better men. No subject is off limits.
LET'S START BUILDING ONE ANOTHER UP AND STOP TEARING EACH OTHER DOWN!!!!

A City Gone Mad!!!!!!
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/12/three_men_are_killed_four_woun.html
People what in the world is going on? There has been a crime spree in Newark this week...Mayor Booker has given the criminals the upper hand by laying off 167 police officers. This week alone we've had countless shootings, carjackings, and even bus robberies. Are you serious? What the hell is going on? Is there any place in the city of Newark where a person can actually be for more than 5 minutes and be safe. Modern day genocide people... SMH!!!!
God We Need You Now More Than Ever

One Question??????????????
The famous Larry King said if he could interview one person he would interview Jesus. He said he would ask him "Was it all worth it?" I found that very interesting and very unexpected.
If you had the opportunity to interview one person from past or present who would it be? Why? What would you ask them?

Heavy Heart!!!!
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/video?id=7854305&syndicate=syndicate§ion
Good Evening Family,
Today I come to you with a heavy heart. Yesterday a good young man and friend was senselessly gunned down in front of his home. Ive known Ronald CoCroft Jr all sixteen years of his life and I can't imagine anyone wanting to harm this well mannered and respectable young man. I'm still in shock writing this. As I drove around the city of Newark, NJ tonight, I thought to myself, this isn't the same city I grew up in. The unnecessary violence has got to stop. Our youth are steadily killing themselves over nonsense. Gone are the days when we generally got along with everyone in our neighborhoods and even the adjacent neighborhoods. Rivalries were confined to the playgrounds or the high schools in the form of basketball and football games. If we did have beef with someone we shot a quick fair one with our hands and both the winner and loser went their separate ways with no plans of future retaliation. Today's youth are mere punks who hide their cowardliness behind the barrels of guns. No more one on one fist-a-cuffs in the school yard at the sound of the 3o'clock bell. No more if I have a problem with you, I'm man or woman enough to tell you to your face. Nowadays it's driveby's and cowardly gunfire from a distance.
Whitney Houston sang a song called the Greatest Love of All whose first line started as "I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them all the beauty the possess inside..." Well newsflash, we aren't teaching them properly and they're dying at a rate in which they're not getting a chance to witness the future. The village is no longer effective, which is ironic in this era of reality TV. Everyone wants to see but no one wants to get involved. Everyone plays the background until they are directly affected by tragedy. Why does it have to come to that? Parents it's time to step up and do our parts. Each one teach one isn't the answer anymore. Each one should teach two or three or even four because the one that you don't teach will be the same one that harms the one that you do teach.
My condolences go out to the Cocroft Friends and Family and to all those who have been affected by senseless violence. We will definitely bounce back but we will never bounce the same....
What do you think???????????????????

WHAT IF.....
This is inspired by a conversation I had with an old friend. I think it's safe to say that we can all point at decisions we've made over the years and wonder if things would be different now(for better or for worse)had those desicions been different.
Is there one decision in your life that you wish you could go back and change? What? Why?
