we shouldn't assume everyone is bad just as we shouldn't assume everyone is good. i'm sorry to hear what happened to you, but should i walk down the street in fear now? or should i never trust another man in my life? we need to be AWARE that there are good people/ bad people, good situations/bad situations, good luck AND bad luck.
i don't think everything in life should be sugar coated. i also think opinions should not be pushed and forced, and when asked one time, i do not think you need to speak your case 35 times. when someone tells me something, i take it in. if i like it or hate it, if i decide to use it or not, is up to me. by asking someones OPINION, i am able to hear it and make my own choice....i do not have to make THAT choice. and i also do not want to hear their opinion or different versions of their opinion (as if i did not really get it the first time) for the next 2 weeks. when i ask and you tell, it is over, thank you, move on. if i ask you again, if i ask for more detail, or if i ask you to make the choice FOR me, then so be it.
this ex-cop...who knows. i don't know him, i know very little about him. actually, i only know about 1 paragraph about him. i haven't spoken to him on the phone, i don't have a daughter who knows him, i haven't talked to others about him. i only know what smohr told me, which is exactly what she told you all. how you can draw out that he is evil and lying from 1 paragraph baffles me. no one knows this dog, or this situation like smohr, and for everyone to draw these cray ideas and conclusions is crazy to me. i understand there is evil, there is also good. we don't know what this situation or man may bring, but let's let smohr do her reasearch on this guy if she thinks it is a good option. what is it going to hurt? it's her choice.
the only thing i know is that the BPOers fighting and scrapping in this post IS NOT helping smohr OR petra. this little petty crap does not matter. so lets all stop. i think plenty has been said in this thread already.
anky---dude, this post wasn't directed at you either...just a general post k?
