Once you post a photo on the internet, it's in a public domain and a risk all of us take... What are you afraid this man can do to you?

Would you report your child to social services for being a poor parent??
Posted: 6/16/2010 5:58:11 AM
I would do everything in my power to help. If all else failed, I'd try to get temporary custody myself. I'd only call in Social Services as a very last resort, but all the time keeping an eagle eye out for my grandchild's welfare.

Fox-hunting.... should it remain banned..?
Posted: 6/8/2010 11:20:01 AM
I knew somebody would come out with that gem before long! This was one extremely isolated case. There are far far more cases of domestic dogs killing and maiming children. I dont hear anyone calling for the culling of all american pit bulls, rotweillers etc....
Exactly, and if this isolated case is used as an excuse to unban fox hunting, it will be just that; an excuse.

Posted: 6/8/2010 5:46:59 AM
I disapprove of any sport where pleasure is derived from inflicting pain on another living creature.
I agree with the OP that if foxes need culling, this should be carried out in a humane way.
Yes, IMO, it should remain banned.

Changes to the driving test.....

I think UK driving test standards are already high. I don't think navigation is something that should be included in the test.

More Gun Control in UK ?
Posted: 6/5/2010 3:19:14 AM
You can legislate all you like, but it won't stop those
intent on keeping guns from acquiring them. It won't
stop people from committing murders, either.

Firstly, I'm surprised that you're 'exclusive' after a few dates, but that's up to you and your GF.
She could be telling the truth about her sister using her account to check the site out before going to the expense of subscribing...

Do you think that the thought of all the money lost, will drive the powers that be to risk putting flights back on, over the value of human lives?

Padded Bikinis.....for 7 year olds?
Posted: 4/15/2010 7:24:41 AM
Whilst I don't consider the padding of the bikinis to be appropriate, it should be remembered that at that age, some girls go without any coverage of their chest on the beach.
I don't have a problem with public nudity either, but if a store wishes to encourage girls to cover up by offering such garments, I see it as a positive step.
Why should 7 year old girls be encouraged to cover up their chests when they have no more to show than a boy the same age?
They're children!
Encouraging 7 year old girls to wear
padded
bikini tops is, IMO, sexualizing them.

Church blames paedophile crisis on homosexuals (the media and Jews!)
Posted: 4/14/2010 3:11:25 AM
A priest who preys upon boys is obviously a homosexual.
Perhaps, but he's also a paedophile, the same as the many heterosexuals who are paedophiles. The only difference being that these guys had ready access to their young and vulnerable prey and were in a position of trust and abused it in the most dispicable of ways.

NHS Hygiene Rule
Posted: 4/13/2010 10:28:49 AM
In a hospital environment, infections can kill. IMO, if your religious beliefs get in the way of you adhering to a well thought out hygiene regime in a medical environment, you can't do the job.

i know my girlfriend is being unfaithful but i dont know how to approach her about it
Posted: 4/13/2010 5:13:25 AM
It might be difficult for you, but if I were you I would suggest that you both start dating other people and I would do just that if I were you. She clearly doesn't see the relationship in an exclusive light, so I'd keep my options open.
A relationship built on suspicion and deceit isn't healthy.
Good luck

exclusive casual dating
Posted: 4/11/2010 3:23:50 PM
Sounds like he wants to be exclusive with you, but isn't ready for a commitment yet because a) It's only been 9 months and/or b) He's unsure of his future career wise and has some important decisions to make.
If the relationship (and
of course
it's a relationship - what else could it be when you're sleeping together?!) is otherwise good, why not see how it goes?
If, however, you find you're becoming a bit insecure or clingy, it might be an idea to cool it and see a little less of him until he's got his life sorted out.
Good luck

I agree with the points you made, Pud.
It's baffling that they'd even consider relaxing any hygiene rules at a time when there's such focus on infection control.

NHS Hygiene Rule
Posted: 4/11/2010 6:24:28 AM
I'm genuinely bemused at the reasoning behind this. Given that Christians have been forbidden from wearing symbols of their religion around their necks in the workplace, surely this is more than a little bizarre as we’re talking about very real health hazards here?

Party Girls?
Posted: 4/10/2010 7:16:15 AM
Having read this in your profile, OP:-
"The type of female that I prefer to spend time with tends to have a soft, gentle and caring nature that are easy going and does what I tell her to do"
I can see why you would prefer to be alone with her more. Gaining her obedience can't be easy when she's surrounded by her friends...

Posted: 4/10/2010 7:06:30 AM
Cowboy is probably correct, though OP did clarify that he has interests in doing other activities with said female besides nightclubs. I'm assuming some of those activities would involve the "outdoors", and not just in bed.
Not necessarily a problem... What's wrong with sex al fresco?

Warning UK drivers!
Posted: 4/9/2010 11:50:46 AM
In case anyone missed it, the scammers DISCONNECT THE BRAKE BULBS and quite often cut in front of you and then slam on the brakes. It doesn't matter if you have a safe stopping distance if the person in front of you has no brake lights. The thing we react to is the brake lights is it not?
This does shed a different light on things. Unless there's damage to the vehicles, I guess you're not going to call the police out who could then be asked to check why the car in front's brake lights weren't working...
Safe distance or not, without brake lights you run the risk of being run into from behind.
Sorry, OP, I didn't realise this was the case.

Warning UK drivers!
Posted: 4/8/2010 3:20:35 AM
I remember my driving instructor telling me (39 years ago!) to always drive as though the car in front is about to execute an unexpected emergency stop, and to this very day I always ensure that I'm within braking distance of any vehicle in front of me.
I'm sorry you had this accident, but the scammer in front of you could just as easily have been another driver executing an emergency stop, OP, and a safe distance is, therefore, the key.

Traveling To Meet A Guy In Another State?
Posted: 4/6/2010 7:54:12 PM
Seems a long way to travel for what could turn out to be a 30 minute first meet fiasco! A bit difficult to say "It's been nice meeting you, but I have to leave now."
In a situation like that, it's possibly best to schedule the meeting for when they've been talking for a little longer than a few weeks, particularly as he's only just come out of long term relationship.

Child Abuse dismissed as petty gossip
Posted: 4/4/2010 5:08:46 PM
It really is disgraceful what these 'men of God' have got away with for so long.
I experienced nothing like what those poor children went through, of course, but I remember the terror and misery of going to a catholic school all too well.
When I was around 10 or 11 years of age, we had a visiting priest take over our music class late one morning. When he discovered that I wasn't 'in a state of grace,' (ie - I hadn't been to church or confession for a few weeks), he asked me if I was going home for lunch. When I told him that I was, he told me to be very, very careful crossing the busy roads on my way home because, he hissed: "If you are run over by a car and die, you will roast in hell for all eternity, my child." I can still see that tall, black figure looking down at me - rubbing his hands together as though he was washing them.

Why would you want to do anything? She's obviously not your type and it would appear that she wasn't overly impressed with you either. The only thing that I can see that needs to be done is to move on.

Where is the 'Forum' link now???
Posted: 4/2/2010 3:52:54 PM
no one said we should be asked........but many people thought they had been banned from the site when the forum link was removed. All I said was that it would have been nice to be told. A simple announcement is all it would have taken, would have saved a lot of threads and posts asking what was going on
I agree. A simple email to all members telling us that the tab was going to be removed would've prevented the confusion...

You had my absolute sympathy until I read:-
I make this huge scene out of shock and tell her straight up that she has not learned anything from this relationship and that its true that you can't turn a whore into a house wife. She starts crying I laugh and tell her good luck with life and walk out the door.

I'm a confident person, but I do pick up on other people's nervousness and it can make me edgey around them, and perhaps this is what you're picking up on with this girl? I empathise with your shyness, OP, but it's something only you can overcome.

The ladykillers
Posted: 4/2/2010 6:06:31 AM
Perhaps genetics predisposes some children raised in highly dysfunctional/abusive environments to go on to commit atrocities in later life, because not all do.
Society is certainly more shocked when women commit these vile crimes, and I think it's because it tends to believe that females are inherently nurturing, which isn't always the case...

From what you've posted, I'd say she hasn't got a clue where she stands with you. You say that:-
... she invited me to goto Drayton Manor and to be fair i never really said yes but never said n0.
This sounds rather vague and I gain the impression that you're wanting to know how the land lies with this girl without putting much effort into it...
Try to overcome your shyness and invite her out on a date. If you don't, I think she might lose interest.

Posted: 3/31/2010 3:22:58 PM
I think you stand a better chance of finding the right person by enjoying your life, right now, than someone who's desperately searching for someone to "complete" their life.

Did Call centre worker deserve to lose his job over stolen biscuits?
Posted: 3/30/2010 6:12:45 AM
Dont really care what happens to a miser..but if your not well liked chances are more likely bad things will happen to you, think about it.
Because she doesn't buy expensive biscuits for consumption by her colleagues she's a miser? I disagree.
I also disagree that if you're not well liked bad things are more likely to happen to you. What is more likely is that 'bad' people tend to dislike others, no matter what they're like, and have little respect for them or their possessions.

Mum And Baby Parking
Posted: 3/29/2010 2:25:06 PM
I do beleive that pregnant women should be able to use mother and child bays as we all know there isnt a great deal of door space when your parked up near another vehicle and women in the latter stages of pregnancy need all the extra space they can get when alighting from a parked vehicle..
On this basis, though, some might say that obese people should be able to use disabled parking bays...
As I understand it, the extra space is for getting young children in and out of the car.

Can having a bigot mother hurt your dating/social life?
Posted: 3/29/2010 11:49:05 AM
I know the media portrays mother as this angelica, god-like, loving being who is the universal resolution to all problems; and to not praise this mother and share every detail of your life with her would make you a "bad" person, right? Someone unworthy of relationships, no? Well, what if you weren't "blessed" (if you will) with the loving, encouraging, understanding mother that is portrayed in mass western media? What if, dare I say, the mother you were given in life was a negative influence?
Mothers are simply women who've had children. Motherhood doesn't turn us into angels, nor does it necessarily make us wise. We are human with human faults and frailties...
If your mother is interfering with your social life, it's time to sit down and have a talk with her. If this doesn't work, maybe you will have to create a healthy distance between you until she accepts and respects that you are now an adult and entitled to form your own opinions and make your own decisions.

Intention is everything if he went in and stole them out of spite or somthing yes hes wrong but if he didnt think he was hurting anyone then i think its all silly
If he didn't think what he did was wrong, why did he lie about it? When he realised that his colleague was upset, why didn't he simply say: "Sorry, I was hungry and pinched a few of your biscuits. I'll replace them?" This would've probably saved him from losing his job and ending up in court.

I can't get on with my grown up daughter BUT she still lives at home..
Posted: 3/27/2010 7:43:40 AM
You don’t get a life when you have children they are meant to be at the top of your list. Maybe you need to do stuff with your daughter you need to talk to her and find out what is up with her.
Misphitz: I am sorry, but I don't agree with this - making your kids the ONLY focal point in your life is totally unhealthy for both the parent AND the child.
Absolutely, Misphitz. I made this mistake and lived to regret it.
The OP's daughter is no longer a child, she's a woman. At 24, it's time she flew the nest and made a home of her own.

Posted: 3/27/2010 7:35:21 AM
The general consensus of opinion was that the mother would be saved, the person you know, the person you love, the person that possibly has other children that need her.
I agree with the above.
Also, unless the couple were legally married, I doubt that the decision would've rested with him in any case.

Avoiding Issues and getting your Man to Commitment in a Relationship!

Commitment isn't something you "get" someone to do. They either want to do it or they don't. I can't imagine anything worse than knowing I'd had to manipulate someone into committing to me - how degrading!
