Is gun control the solution to these unspeakable tragedies?

I agree.l

By the way about the Wall...imagine Lou never feels the burden of them illegals coming easily to our country. What does that tell me? And the world in general is that she favors for the destruction of my country. Imagine, the staggering amount of 100 billion supporting these illegals while only 10 billion or a fraction of that to build the wall.

Protecting our border is of extreme priority if we really want our country to be first and great again. She will never understand that.

I was wondering about that myself C.

Absolutely Bill. I agree.

Bringing back the Mental Facilities that were closed during Reagan, agree or disagree?

How do you cope with them Lou, I meant the government. Here in our State, I am so aware of the fact that they are left to their own relatives. Very sad.

This is an illness that has no preference whom it afflicts Harbal.. Of course we do have so many of them as well..

Very sad Lou. Colorado has already approved of the arming and training of the teachers with guns.

a very interesting observation you have there Obs.

RE: Are nurses the best type of people to date?

They are very caring and loving people. Those are the traits that I am so familiar with with my relatives.

Well do you have mental wards? Or do you have a system to take care of them?

RE: Freedom of the press

I wouldn't live in a place without one. I would rather die than be mummed.

I meant to add, during Reagan's Administration.

I think so too, Harbal..

I am all pro with our military presence Galrads. I wouldn't change a thing with our system other than be more responsive to our needs when called for.

Did Reagan’s Crazy Mental Health Policies Cause Today’s Homelessness?
By Joel John Roberts | Oct 14, 2013

"Recently, a 34-year-old woman rammed her car into barricades outside the White House while her infant daughter was in the back seat. The police, thinking it was an act of terror, chased her down and shot her to death.

Later, we learned she was actually struggling with mental illness.

This came not long after another 34-year-old, this one a man who heard voices and thought people were out to hurt him, walked into the Washington Navy Yard and gunned down 12 people."


Wow, I only came across this now. What a world.

Lou, thanks for joining in. I already posted that as one of the better solutions. I even scolded Reagan for closing them facilities which I never understood.

I do want to have them mental wards be a part of our medical benefit again.

It is a sad move that Reagan did that and his only justification that I was aware of were the abuses they received.

RE: Are nurses the best type of people to date?

lol

Ok Lee, then stay off them then.

I am sure so many would prefer them, for one thing they make good money. Second their better halves might prefer it that way.;lol

Lee, you should watch JOKOY'S on Nurses. Google it, you will have a laugh. Promise.

Anyways, I am half Filipino and most of my relatives are mostly nurses. Just watch it and let me know.

RE: Do you think you're better of alone...?

Depends Pedro, in 24 hours if I can have my aloneness for about 6 hours excluding sleep, I am fine. But no as a rule, I love to be with whom I enjoy myself with.

Justice must be served

Now I agree with you. Only people like you should be watched

Justice must be served

Reb that is very true. I am waiting for the FBI to give us the reason why their negligence is so high on these things.

RE: Are nurses the best type of people to date?

Agreed that is why I said, each to their own. If half of the world in general is categorizing a good date as only nurses, what does that leave us?

I wouldn't even ever categorize who is a good date by profession. Like one poster said, what about lawyers, doctors, etc. etc. No. But whatever works for you is all that matters.

RE: Is there such a thing as healthy jealousy in a loving relationship or does it just cause conflict?

Is gun control the solution to these unspeakable tragedies?

Harbal, geesh, I wouldn't ever ever give real guns to kids. That is why I favor Feinstein's proposal of making 21 as the legal age to own one.

I do favor the teachers (already the law in Colorado) to be armed and trained.

Is gun control the solution to these unspeakable tragedies?

Good morning Reb.

Yes if only the authorities were there as needed, perhaps this could have been prevented. That is why I favor arming the teachers and increase the prevention of such a callous act.

RE: Is there such a thing as healthy jealousy in a loving relationship or does it just cause conflict?

Very much so my dear lady. I hope you are, too. You have mellowed a bit, and I understand. You are still as beautiful and as smart as you are...

RE: Are nurses the best type of people to date?

lol. I was thinking of the same thing..

Of course not. Anyone is a good date, as each to their own...

What a ridiculous question.

RE: Is there such a thing as healthy jealousy in a loving relationship or does it just cause conflict?

Good morning beautiful and a very smart lady.

Exactly. Bull's eye to me.

RE: Is there such a thing as healthy jealousy in a loving relationship or does it just cause conflict?

"But HERE is one problem, with this assessment. EVERY woman I've ever been in a significant relationship with, has complained (in one way, or another) that "I" am NOT jealous/possessive ENOUGH! It seems that women, for some INCOMPREHENSIBLE (to ME) reason, REQUIRE some degree of "jealousy" to assure them that they are "important" to the man in their life! That their man "values" them."

Let, you are very expressive and I learn a lot from you.

Here is my take on your point of view. Jealousy is healthy in a relationship as long as both see it that way. Please go back to post number 7 of Chesney. That is a very simple explanation for me.

But my own experience is this. Who I am is a very important beginning. Recognizing who we are and who the person we want to be with is equally important. When we work on building the foundation of a good relationship then we must learn and pay attention to what works to build a good foundation of that relationship. We can't change to fit into who we are. However, as long as we are willing to change ourselves, and we can, to accommodate those traits of the one with are with, then there is no reason why that relationship wouldn't work.

Jealousy as an indicator of something not pleasant and work on it is good for me. Once or twice. But when a person is jealous for the sake of being jealous, that is a poison and very suffocating. I was with one of those and even though love was so strong, I didn't like the to be controlled and or accused of things that weren't true. If I say, I am exclusive, demand it in a relationship and honesty is a must, then it is. I will not tolerate anything that undermines that.

Anyways, yes jealousy is a part of our human elements. It is good if we know how to address and treat it as an indicator. Recurring jealousy is not good and it signifies the lack of compatibility in the union as a whole.

RE: Is there such a thing as healthy jealousy in a loving relationship or does it just cause conflict?

Absolutely. To me, and indication of a healthy relationship depends on what makes both individuals happy. I don't want to be owned. Neither does my partner. We are very honest to each other and there is nothing that each does without the knowledge of the other. I have always been a very monogamous person, always will, and demand that on any of the relationship that I had or will have. I lay all the foundation that I expect in my relationship at the very beginning, what I don't want and what makes me happy and likewise learn what makes my other half happy. Then it is very natural to just be who we are and if it works then we go from there. Before I was married, I had the engagement period for about three years for that reason. Compatibility is a must in any healthy relationship. Learning each other's ways is good start to make it work. If almost 98 percent of divorces arise from "irreconcilable differences" then would it not make sense to work on compatibility? To me that is what it takes. I was married for 28 years and together for 31 years with a man that still wants to be with me. But I changed. Circumstances fell in our path that made me walk out on that part of my life.

I would say that if I stayed married with him, I wouldn't have experienced all these remarkable happenings in my last for the last 6 years now. No jealousy had nothing to do with anything.

Anyways, a very good topic Greg.

RE: Is there such a thing as healthy jealousy in a loving relationship or does it just cause conflict?

That is a very good explanation Obs. I love it that whom I love fear of losing me. I think there is a value that I can't take for granted in that perspective. Allowing me to feel loved by the fear of losing. But not so much as being so insecure and asks me to curtail any communications with anyone.
I used to be with someone that examines all my responses on any given blog, thread etc. and it is my fault that I have laid such stupid "come on" to people when all I wanted to do was express my opinion. The one I am with now is so understanding and secured in our relationship that even if I am here blogging, posting, it doesn't bother him. He does express that I am his and he is mine and we just love each other. No our relationship is very exclusive and very healthy.
