Co-Sign. You read/hear something you genuinely feel and agree with then you co-sign. It's a pretty simple concept that when applied properly shows support to your follow man, but there's always the flip side, i.e Suspect Co-signing. This is basically equal to cheerleader or as the homie Mz.J would say "jumping on the blogwagon."
Now before the "people do what they want" and "everyone has the freedom to do whatever" lines stop flying understand this isn't an attempt to stop this act or change minds about. I'm merely curious about it. My main curiosity, with a few specfic blogs in mind, is do folk really co-sign crazy,wild and at times reckless and possibly self destructive actions because they really agree with it or is it to in some way live through the blogger(s) in question?
For example I may come across a blog that says something like this.
"blah blah....I went to the club, had some drinks....blah,blah.....saw a couple guys I thought were cute...blah,blah.......ended up with a 2-3 phone #'s,blah,blah.....I ended up in the bathroom with one of the guys.....but he only ate me out...blah,blah....then I got real wasted and bumped into my homegurl who dropped me home...blah blah.....then I got a call from one of the other guys at the club, the cutest one...blah,blah....so he came thru and the sex was great blah......and I woke up not knowing where my underwear was......"
So there you have a wild and crazy night/morning.....then it may be followed by a series of comments saying....
"Damn girl that was a wild night.DO YOUR THANG!!"......."You so crazy.I wish I could get it in like you"......"OMG!LMMFAO!Sounds like you had a great night!" etc,etc,etc....
I wish I was over doing it but I'm really not. So after reading something like this I can't help but wonder would these people co sign just as much if this story was coming from a cousin, sister or close friend in their offline world. Is it simply cheering on what another does that they personally would never want to be caught up in? Could really be an degree of envy for the wild and spontaneous life?
Just wondering. When ever I see extreme actions of any sort not bring about a mixed response of both negative and positive it always catches my eye a bit.

well, personally, whenever I post comments like that, I'm simply applauding the person for doing something that they enjoyed doing. It's not MY AIDS, chlamydia, mouth herpes etc.
it's not MY rep *shrug*
I don't care. do what makes you happy ..online or off...family or not. we're all grown.
I can see that view point. Don't get to wrapped up in the personal aspect of it and just applaud an entertaining story. I hear that.
