That is really frightening. It makes me want to stay away from sites like this and people like that. Who else knows what a kook like that will do? This person sounds capable of anything. Irrational people are scary.

and sometimes you remove yourself from the situation so you don't completely ruin the friendship till someone comes and makes things worse?!
consider that maybe your friend knew nothing about what their friend was doing.
I guess what I don't understand is if you consider someone a friend, you can't accept their point of view when it differs from yours. Just accept people the way they are, even when you don't agree with them. Not everyone is always going to see things your way. There is no point in getting angry...
Personally, I would not unfriend someone because of a post on Facebook. My friends are all opinionated and outspoken, with diverse points of view. I am mature enough to handle that, so I wouldn't unfriend someone for saying things I don't like.
But that's just me.
All I can say to you Chickened, is that I was far lonlier being married than I have ever been single. Single does not equal lonely.
You clearly have a great relationship; not everyone does. Should I have allowed myself to become a punching bag for my alcoholic husband in the interest of being...

Like people might really forget that they had their kids in the car? That is frightening. "where's my purse? Oh, Junior, how did you get there?" Yikes.
I don't think that if you aren't a "nice girl" (i.e. doormat, pushover), that you are automatically a mean girl. To me, there is such a thing as a healthy selfishness. It doesn't mean that you don't care about anyone else but yourself. It means that you take care of yourself so that you have...
They tell you on an airplane that if you have someone to care for in the event of an accident you should always put your own oxygen mask on FIRST. If you falter, you won't be able to take care of anyone else. If you keep giving until there is nothing left, then who will take care of the people...

To me it's probably just an aesthetic thing, but the idea of an adolescent boy- or girl for that mattter- latching onto mommy's breast makes me queasy. Clearly, at some age it is no longer appropriate. I am not saying the age is 2, or that we need laws to determine the age, but to make...
While I think there should be an age when breastfeeding stops, I agree that we don't need laws banning it. There are so many other things our lawmakers could be focusing on.
I agree that people should be able to breast feed a two year old, but isn't there some age where it would look a bit inappropriate? Or is it OK to do it forever? That is what I am curious about. Is there a cutoff?

That would be mental illness.Mother and child both
That's kinda how I see it. And I breast fed my baby. But now that she is 21, I won't do it anymore.
I have had my brushes with the law in the past and I would be sad to think that someone would feel they were "stooping" to be with me. People make mistakes. People change. I haven't had a drink in 23 years. Should I still be kept away from people's children for things I did 25 years ago? I am...

The high school health classes also taught us about the food pyramid and now we are a nation of obese people.
not to start a debate but McDonalds and Coca Cola are not prominent on the food pyramid.
