This is a really weird thread. It got turned around and twisted and now its evolved into this argument for some reason.
Here is what I think if it matters.........
I admire anyone who can do something and be successful when the odds are stacked against him. Kai seems to be doing just that. He has had a rough life growing up and that sucks. I know many people in his same shoes when they were younger and then turned their life into something of greatness when they got older. However, it was a choice to go down one path instead of another. Now when I say "path" I mean a career path. Its a choice to go to college, or work at a gas station, or try to make a career out of bodybuilding. Everything is a choice in one way or another. For those that say thats bullshit and you are forced to do certain things because of your surroundings, maybe so, but at some point you will have a choice to keep going in one direction or take a risk and change your life. It could be good or bad but regardless its YOUR choice to do whatever it is you think is going to make you happy. If you want something bad enough, you will do whatever it takes to get it. With that being said....if Kai wants to do "gay for pay" or dance naked on websites for money so he can bodybuild, thats his choice. Just because he did that does not make him one thing or another but he will have to carry around a stigma so to speak and listen to people talk about what you did. Once again thats a choice. He could have chosen to personal train or delivery pizzas or whatever to make money but he chose a different way. Even if it was in his past, it was a choice he made. To tell someone to "drop it" and just forget about it is rediculous. He did it, it may not be a true reflection on his charactor, but he did it. Its just something you have to think about before putting yourself in the spotlight. If you think that people are not going to bring that up you are being foolish and to bash Jethro (Eroc613) for stating something like that and then freaking out is childish. I dont think anyone is really calling Kai gay or whatever or even trying to take away from what he has accomplished, but everything he did in the past was a choice and for you to get mad at people for bringing that up is just stupid. Its gonna happen. Kai can easily do something else with his life but this is what he chose. I hate it when people make excuses for things that they can control. Everyone has control at some point. Its just a matter of what they choose to do. Sorry for the ramble but I just wanted to say this. Jethro is a good guy just as Im sure Eroc613 feels about his friend Kai. Where was this thread going anyway?
