Clinton 2016 Posted: 9/4/2012 10:33:20 PM
Hilary Clinton may be running in 2016....what do you think? She ran against Obama but was not chosen, now the plan is for her to run in 2016. If she runs, who would be her running mate? Is America ready for a female president? Is this just a rumor? Let's chat.......

What is going on will all of the shootings.... Posted: 8/25/2012 5:38:46 AM
Yesterday I read and saw on the news the shooting of New York. It seems like everyday people or shooting or getting shot. A friend said this has been occurring in large numbers, the media is just now saying something. What do you think and why do you think it is happening?

It will be a close race, but he will not win. His wife needs to stop talking publicly and he needs to produce his tax returns. He can't relate to the everyday people.

UPDATE++++++++++++++++++++++ We are still friends. He is coming back to Houston next week and going to stay here for about three days. He has been sending text stating that he wants us to continue being friends and work together. I think that now I will be normal and not feeling so weird around him. I do not think it will become a relationship, but we both want to maintain our friendship!!

Thanks everyone he has not pushed the relationship aside I did because I was afraid of rejection or that he does not feel the same way. He has continued to try and be friends, but I was the one being mean. I may have ruined the friendship. Giving him some space to sort all of this out. I was open and then afraid that being open I would be rejected so I was mean to make him go away or reject me so I would be in control of what I thought was going to happen anyway and now his feelings are hurt. I admitted to everything and told him that losing his friendship would truly hurt me. I know I have been a handful so I am giving him space. If we are going to still be friends time will tell. I did way too much!! I just could not sit still any longer and act as though my feelings were not there. It was starting to hurt too much, but my fear that he did not feel the same way caused me to act like a CHILD!

david~ Fight about what? Are they actually "fights"? Or, expressions of frustration because of the situation/distance? It is frustration on my end, but he does not see that. At first, I did not know that was the reason and would question myself afterwards, but I knew that once he returned home I truly did not know when I would see him again, and that is too hard emotionally. So, you faced it. What was his response when you told him? Ummm, you did tell him, right? Yes, he said I did not love him was just trying to avoid another argument. He has not responded. "free" from what? Your fears? Rejection? Your feelings? Free that I am no longer playing games with myself or with him. I am still afraid of rejection so I am ending the friendship. You "know" it'll never be the same and might end? How do you know this? Or, is there a chunk of the story (like his side) that has been left out? No, this hurts too much and I have started dating nice men, but not giving them a chance because I am so hung up on this guy and he sends out mixed messages. His side is important for him to discuss with his friends, family or online (lol), this has been affecting me emotionally. Opening up makes you vulnerable. Boy, lucky them. "a chance"? My, aren't we the stuck-up, little high school girl?! Funny you use the image of high school, because that is how I feel. Not trying to be stuck up, but honest. I know I am not the only person out there that is trying to date, but is in love with someone else. Just in my situation there is no sex. Many people that are divorced or have been in long term relationships start dating, but bring the baggage to the next person. I went out to dinner with a guy that talked all night about his ex-wife. So, I am no different except I am admitting that I need to move on emotionally from this person in order to pursue the next relationship. First I had to admit that it was a problem. My opinion? You lost a lot more than "a really good friend". But my opinion is only based on the limited information you provided. I'm just glad I'm one of the lucky ones with a "chance" to not hear you scream his name during amorous romps or mistakenly call me *****' at any time what-so-ever. Well, calling out his name is not really and issue. I am not sexually active. When I go on a date, it is truly a date. I have not slept with anyone. This guy was truly my best friend.

Been friends with this guy for almost two years. He lives in another city and we have become best friends. I love hanging out with him, but whenever it is time for him to return to his city we fight. I finally had to face that I love him. On one hand I feel free,, but I know that our friendship will never be the same and may end all together. Maybe now when I date other guys they may have a chance. I do not keep thinking 'Man I wish I was doing that with *****', but I am a little sad because I could have just lost a really good friend.

Why do people not tell the truth upfront? Posted: 9/10/2010 7:10:05 PM
pamperpooch000, I am not talking about the honeymoon stage of any friendship, but telling lies about basic things that can be dangerous. 1. Are you married? No, but you really are and not separated. 2. Do you have a drivers license? Yes, but cops pull you over and the person is arrested for driving your car without a license. 3. Do you have a job? Yes, but they are unemployed. 4. Do you do drugs? No or I only smoke weed occasionally, but they are on crack hiding in crack homes or hotels spending their entire check. 5. I like your car. Turns out it is their mates or parents car and they are 40 years old. 6. Nice house. This guy once tried to pretend his mothers house was his and she was living with him. Now, that is not putting your best foot forward, that is telling lies unnecessary lies that the truth is going to come out. Why do that? I guess to enjoy your company as long as the lie last (few days to a couple of months).

Goodmanforyou, I hear your theory stating they are testing the water and do not desire to hurt ones feelings, but in my heart I believe if you are honest with a person in the long run you are more successful. As I stated earlier. I am not stating tell them deep dark secrets on the first encounter, but basic things marital status, height, weight, job etc. Those should not have to be secrets. Someone stated it may be ok to not tell someone your marital status if you are in a sexless marriage. I hear that, but let the person know the truth and give them the opportunity to say if they desire to pursue you are not. It is only fair.

When I say tell the truth upfront I mean basic things such as marital status, basics like do you have a drivers license? Nothing deep. Some people on line place old pics, say I am 6'0' when they are 5'7'. Many people claim to own businesses or even be employed. Those are not things you should hide. You would be surprised if you tell the truth or be honest upfront. The person may not care that you are short, married, with no job or drivers license. When the person meets you and your not tall or skinny, better yet young. When they find out you are unemployed or only work for the company you claim to own. Not to say the wife and kid show up or you get arrested for driving w/o a license. Not, deep dark relationship talk. Just basics, then yes, trust is broken. What could have at least been a good friendship now may end.

I did not know this would take off like this. I truly just wondered why people lie. zekestone you really did try to analyze it from different angles. You guys I probably miss out on a lot because I am honest. I feel it is best to be straight forward. NO, you may not get what you want at the time, but you do not have to worry about what you get being yours. I wish I did cheat on my taxes because I would not owe the IRS! LOL Now, my credit that is another thing. I have credit cards that I have not paid and yes, I do feel bad. So, there are those of us that do exist.

Why they do it I do not know, but Yes people do get a gut feeling, but when you challenge them why do many still lie. A person that does not tell the truth is a dangerous person in my eyes. If you can lie with a straight face, then what else can you do?

You meet someone, things are going great! You start thinking this could be the one and BAM, you discover they have been lying about several things. Now, trust issues creep up and what could have been at least a good friendship now is over. Why do people lie instead of putting the cards on the table allowing the person the opportunity to decide if they would be interested in pursuing a friendship. Now, you are not even friends.

...A Sexual Relationship WITHOUT Emotional Attachments... Posted: 8/29/2010 6:53:08 PM
I do not think so. We tell ourselves that we can become intimate with someone with no strings attached, but once sex enters the game you form a 'soul tie' and those are hard to break.

How to avoid being used? Posted: 8/29/2010 6:42:50 PM
My problem is very simple. I have not dated in years. All of my kids are gone and my nest is empty. When I meet a person I have a tendency to believe them. I wish I could be the way I was when I was young, love um and leave um, but that is not me now. Honestly, if I met the right person it would be great. I do not think that they use people. I think some people are just more open to a relationship than others and need to hold back.

Logically, I understand, but I want my heart to meet up with my mind. You guys are so right and I tell myself that everyday. When I was young and out there dating, this was not an issue. Getting older and more mature things change. I know it is going to get better, just today I hurt. Time heals all wounds. Trust me this will not be carried on to the next person. God has allowed me to see that I am capable of loving someone again and when someone comes along that feels like I do, it will be great!! Thanks

Haven't posted in awhile, but I need someone to help me focus. If you track my postings I had been so proud of my long single record. Actually, I was very happy with my life. Last spring an old friend of mine contacted me and we began to chat. This summer he relocated to Texas and me being a friend of 30 years assisted him. The relationship changed (at least for me) and I have developed feelings for him. Right now, I am very unhappy. In my heart I truly hate that I allowed him in my life because I know the feelings do not go both ways. What truly hurts me is that for some reason I can not shake him. I am so angry with myself. I can tell that he has feelings, but recently he started acting distant. Honestly, I can not get mad at him. We were never 'offically' in a relationship. I am angry at myself. How do I move on? Is it because I have not been dating. I feel STUPID! Wish I had picked someone like me.

But he did show ID and told the officers it was his home. I believe he did become angry and raised his voice in a threatening manner and Crowley became upset also, both ego's were involved. Here is an article: You are free to look it up yourself as well. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/6547446.html --------------------------------------------- Stuck at the Gates We have seen the post-racial mountaintop. But we’re not there yet HOUSTON CHRONICLE July 25, 2009, 8:14PM Maybe there still lingered some faint, flickering hope that Barack Obama's election meant that the United States had entered a post-racial era. If so, Henry Louis Gates' arrest last Thursday pretty much squashed that notion. On his own front porch, Cambridge, Mass., police handcuffed the scrawny, cane-using, 58-year-old Gates — a Harvard professor, PBS documentary-maker and all-around public intellectual. The charge was disorderly conduct, but that's a hard case to make. Gates had returned home from a trip to China and found his door stuck. His driver forced it open. And a neighbor called 911 to report that she saw an apparent break-in in progress. Sgt. James Crowley arrived first on the scene. Was Gates slow to respond when Crowley asked to see identification? Did Crowley refuse to give Gates his badge number? That's not altogether clear. But by the time that the officers on the porch arrested the professor, they'd seen his ID and understood that he wasn't breaking into the house. Maybe Gates yelled at the cops, said something unpleasant about someone's mother, and accused them of racism; maybe he didn't. Yelling at a cop is rarely a good idea, but it's not illegal to shout or be rude on your own property. And accusations of racism or wrongful arrest are protected free speech. The day after the charge was dropped, a reporter at a White House press conference asked Barack Obama what he thought about the incident. Obama responded that he's a friend of Gates', and said that though he didn't know all the facts, what he knew made it seem that the police were “acting stupidly.” He noted that black and Hispanic men are disproportionately stopped and arrested, and said that he could imagine being arrested just like Gates, if he'd had to force open the door to his own house. Then the president caught himself. “I guess this is my house now,” he said, looking around at the White House. He laughed: “Here I'd get shot.” He wasn't accusing the Secret Service of racism; he was joking about those federal agents' extreme state of alert, their willingness to gun down any threat to himself, the leader of the Free World. But it was a tiny, telling joke. It showed that no black male American — not even the president, surrounded by agents sworn to protect him — ever quite escapes the feeling that he, too, could suddenly find himself facing a lawman's gun. But Friday the president did what neither Gates nor Crowley had managed to do: He lowered the volume and attempted to make peace. He called Crowley, and invited both the cop and the professor to join him at the White House for a beer. Obama told the press that he hopes the affair ends up being a “teachable moment,” that we should all try to focus less on division, and more on unity. “Lord knows we need it now,” said Obama. And he was right If you truly read my post. I never stated that it was racism.

Gates vs Officer Crowley: What do you think? Posted: 7/26/2009 9:32:59 PM
The truth is somewhere in the middle. When Obama used the word 'stupidly', I knew it was going to cause an uproar. But, I believe Gates and the officer were both wrong and right. The officer was following procedure. Gates was hurt and upset (understandably), anyone would white or black in his situtation. So he challenged the officer, who then could not back down because of pride. This needs to end. We need to focus on healthcare, economy and war. I pray the meeting at the Whitehouse will smooth this over. Gates has accepted. The officer accepted Obama's apology and will make a decision about the meeting. If they have moved on the media needs to move on! We have more important issues, but it let's us know that 'RACE' is still a very sensitive subject in America. We do need to stop being PC and talk about it. It will help our country grow. The media is turning this into Election 2008 again! What do you think?

No, I am not a fan. I do like her. She really does represent the average American. I come from a family of teachers. We live humble lives. I would have been so honored if someone wanted me to be their running mate. What McCain did was wrong. Honestly, I feel sorry for her in a way. McCain used her and if he had not this would not even be an issue. I truly feel sorry for the republican party. What are they really going to do to recover from how they have handled things recently.

Palin resigns! Do you think she will run for President! Posted: 7/23/2009 10:52:17 AM
Rules for Being Sarah Palin It’s unethical to defend yourself against ethics charges. Article Comments (24) more in Opinion By JAMES TARANTO An Alaskan “ethics investigator” is taking a final shot at Gov. Sarah Palin, whose resignation as governor becomes effective at the end of this week. He claims that Palin “may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.” According to the Associated Press, the investigator’s report “says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.” The AP continues: “An investigator for the state Personnel Board says in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorized the creation of the trust as the ‘official’ legal defense fund.” One can certainly see how a legal defense fund might raise ethical concerns. If, let us say, the beneficiary were able to use the money for personal expenses or in a political campaign, then a contribution to the defense fund could turn out to be the practical equivalent of, respectively, a bribe or an extralegal campaign contribution. But no such impropriety is alleged here. Rather, the investigator claims that defending herself against ethics charges itself constitutes “personal gain”: In his report, attorney Thomas Daniel said his interpretation of the ethics act is consistent with common sense. An ordinary citizen facing legal charges is not likely to be able to generate donations to a legal defense fund, he wrote. “In contrast, Governor Palin is able to generate donations because of the fact that she is a public official and a public figure. Were it not for the fact that she is governor and a national political figure, it is unlikely that many citizens would donate money to her legal defense fund.” It may be that Daniel’s interpretation of the ethics act is consistent with a very literal reading of the act, but contrary to his claim, it is an affront to common sense. No “ordinary citizen” would face the kind of “legal charges” that have bedeviled Palin--to wit, politically motivated accusations that she has misused her office. CNN.com quotes Palin as saying in a statement that “neither I nor my lawyer has received a penny from this fund.” Even if that changes, it is ridiculous to say Palin enjoys “personal gain” if she gets help offsetting her legal bills. At best it would partially offset the costs imposed on her by her roles as governor, vice presidential nominee and political hate object--only the first two of which she took on voluntarily.
