unextraordinarygirl Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 That newest instagram picture with Jason warms my heart. He looks so good and happy. Looking at that pic makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iva Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's normal to lose a bit of weight after treatment; pretty sure he will be OK. All the love in this world to both Brittney and Jason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I can't be the only one that knows what "home skillet" means. Get with the lingo, guys! Home skillet means friend. It's like saying "homie," "home boy," or "home slice" ... Pretty sure he is just calling Jason his late night bus buddy in the caption. But hey, my interpretation could be wrong. Oh come on guys, I'm probably older than all of you and I knew what it meant. It's white people slang for black slang. No offense or racism meant. Billie is trying to be down yo!

Iva Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Older than all of us? You'd have to be older than 50-51, as that's what I *think* the two or three oldest folks are on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said probably. Ok so I'm not the oldest but I'm also not too far behind, I'm 48(49 in May).Much like "East Jesus Nowhere," I have a feeling Billie learned "home skillet" from Juno LOL it wouldn't suprise me.

Chin for a Day Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I love Billie to death, I really do. And I love that he is willing to get involved in causes, but he always seems to get involved to an end. I googled the cause, and scanned their website. It seems like a worthwhile cause. And obviously, the instagram he sent built some awareness, but that always seems to be where his involvement ends, at the push of a button. I would really prefer to see him pick one or two causes that he can really get behind and start to build some momentum. There is so much good a celebrity can do if they truly get behind something. Mike did it with KCUF cancer. I know he can't change the world and I know he has done stuff before, like he did for Hurricane Katrina. It just doesn't seem to be what he is doing lately.

The difference with a cause like Hurricane Katrina relief is that it is more simple for an average (not specifically qualified) individual (eg social worker/court officials/politicians involved with changing legislation or police personel) to "actively participate" in a cause or in trying to give relief. The recent causes Billie has shown support for have been gun control (Moms Demand Action), he along with half of NYC protested against racism/police brutality after that ridiculous verdict and now he supports this cause against sexual and domestic violence. None of those issues are things he can really affect massive change in himself as he is none of the things I listed above. What he can do however is make his nearly 500,000 instageam followers and bazillion followers on facebook aware of causes/situations and serious issues they may not have been aware of. It encourages fans, especially young fans to stop and think about their views on guns, gun control, racism and sexual and domestic violence etc. If he changes minds or influences people to change their attitudes then he has achieved just as much as he did during Katrina. Personally I think he is fab for showing his support for these causes and demonstrating he actively cares about the society he is part of and trying to change it for the better...that's the true punk spirit right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of it before. There is always alot to be gained by bringing awareness to a cause. So agreed, its a good thing. But I absolutely disagree that there is nothing else he, or anyone else, can do. If he truly wants to bring awareness to a cause, there is plenty to do, just like Hurricane Katrina. I will use Mike as an example. Granted, Mike's cause was closer to his heart, but he did breast cancer walks, started KCUF Cancer, etc. He put himself out there to show support for a cause. IF Billlie, or any celebrity, really felt strongly about a cause, they could do walks, wear the causes T-shirts, appear at functions for them, man the phones at their organization headquarters. There is so much that can be done. Sorry, pushing a button and ending it there is not punk at all. Actually, he seems to like using Instagram, I would be thrilled if he took a cause and made it a full out instagram attack. Today was the start, he started the awareness, next week he posts again wearing one of the orgs T-Shrits, the week after he posts something about what they are doing, then he posts pictures of a march against domestic violence. But he posts alot. The more he does it, the more it gets out. That would be putting his name next to something, with minimal effort and could really effect the cause.

Then he gets involved with breast cancer awareness. That is reactionary rather than proactive. He possibly would never give a shit about breast cancer if his own wife's life wasn't threatened right now by that very disease. Contrast that with the causes Billie has gotten involved with. If his own family had been victims of gun crime or sexual violence or domestic violence or racism. Indeed not past tense but were presently having their very existence threatened by (for example) a gun crime (as Britt's existence is threatened by cancer) maybe Billie would be running and opening his own websites and who knows what. Comparing a man reacting to his wife's illness to someone getting active with causes because they care yet are are not directly affected by them is pointless. Billie literally has just began showing support for the #itsonus campaign a few hours ago. We have no idea what will come of it. The Moms Demand Action campaign he posted numerous links to websites/articles on twitter over several months and a photo if himself holding a sign. He also posted many other anti gun/gun control pictures on instagram since he began using it. You have to bear in mind that some of the causes he has thrown his support behind are more controversial than breast cancer. A walk for breast cancer who has a problem with that? Moms Demand Action how many people have a problem with them/their ideas and how many walks do they have? Some causes need money like cancer research hence the walks others need awareness and support in the sense of people who will back their ideas if legislation goes to a vote (gun control) or just people to wake the fuck up and stop sexually abusing etc women or thinking it's acceptable.

We will have to agree to disagree. He starts with a great idea and then stops short. And yes, he might be more involved if he a cause directly affected him, but I still think there is more that can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykee Mexx Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Why should he do more? Just because he´s a celebrity? He´s doing what´s on his mind and as far as he can go without forcing or betraying himself. If an issue really would catch him he would probably have the inspiration and energy to do more. But there´s no need for him to do even anything. He´s not a banner-bearer, but lets us take part in whatever keeps him busy. Years ago it was "Free Pussy Riots" on their tour. They follow many current events and issues, but hardly ever get really involved in them. Like me. There are many issues that keep me busy, but none of them would really catch me for more action or deeper interest. BJ´s interest is the way it is: an issue catches his eye and interest, keeps him busy for a moment and then gets replaced by the next latest issue. Nothing to complain about. He´s just telling us what´s up. Whatever we make out of it is our business. And it´s not his business to satisfy our idea of how he should use his popularity. Or if at all.

And yes, he might be more involved if he a cause directly affected him, but I still think there is more that can be done. Agree to disagree fine but my point is mainly some causes can be helped by funding for research or healthcare, others by rebuilding homes, distributing food and water etc to people following natural disasters but the causes (don't even feel thats the correct word) Billie has recently shown support for don't need people to send money or get their hands dirty...they need people to stop for thirty seconds, think and possibly adjust their attitudes. Violence against women needs people to change their behaviour and thought processes. An influential figure can encourage those attitudes to change or direct how they may form opinions at a younger age. All it takes is what Billie has been doing like with Moms Demand Action. They need legislative overhaul but pressure from ordinary citizens may achieve that. How do you get people to hear your pov and potentially agree with you? Well an influential musician helps. And he did. One way or the other Billie is helping a great deal in the ways these causes NEED him to. Thats what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not to mention we don't actually know how much he does for good causes on top of the many he just does a little thing like this for when the chance comes up. He must have given large amounts to charity over the years and has been heavily involved in several for example the NRDC, who knows how much he donates privately. It's up to the individual how much they do or what they do anyway, but as far as I can see he does plenty more than the average person both in terms of giving money and raising awareness, and without actually having any idea how much time and money he gives to good causes since we don't know everything about his life it seems quite unfair to make a judgement about it.
