This is just a horrible and sick thing this guy did. He should rot in jail. (Disturbing,warning!!) ( Archived) (236)

I was trying to be nice...but hey...if the pic fits....

My dignity is completely in tact I just don’t care to keep arguing the same point over and over again it the same thread To people that are not prepare to listen before passing judgement on the argument





that is just lie , in this case I am not wrong so I shall not admit to being wrong

Again you have failed to practice what you preach

Wow...I have some great friends here. Thank you all so much for standing up for all people with bipolar disease. Thank you for being such wonderful people.

First of all, I apologize to Croatus if I offended him by my comment, "pray for your lost soul". I do know your religious beliefs, or non-beliefs, however, I was practicing my personal religious belief when I made the comment. I say prayers for all people, regardless of their beliefs. My personal relationship with God and Jesus Christ is mine. I believe that all people need to find God and that is why I said "lost soul". If you understand my point of view, it was a nice gesture I was making. It wasn't intended to be a backhand slap at you, but if you took it that way, I am sorry.

Second...if Croatus believes that a man with bipolar disease automatically is considered deranged if he is in the manic stage, that is his opinion and he is entitled to it. I believe otherwise, but he can think what he wants to. So that's the end of that.

Last, and this comment has nothing to do with Croatus, but it is my own opinion. There are many people with bipolar disorder on this site. I won't say who they are but trust me, they are here. Also, there are people who have relatives with bipolar disorder. That can be very difficult for them and my heart goes out to you. There are people here with clinical depression, and also, my heart goes out to you. Depression is comparable to bipolar disease. It is a hell on Earth I would not wish on anyone.

I am 46 years old and have never been married, have kids, couldn't finish college and have no career. All I wanted in life were those things I just listed. I am not into material things at all..I am even the opposite as I am a minimalist. But the things in life most people take for granted, are and were out of my reach. That cuts my heart in half everyday, realizing I will probably never have the opportunity to achieve my life's goals.

It is not easy to come to a dating site and tell people in an open forum I have bipolar disease. The distortions and stereotypes that have been manifested over the years are hard to overcome. But I believe in being honest with people. I don't wear my disease as some kind of badge of honor. I am an honest person who is an open book, and will freely and openly talk about the disease to try and help people get a better understanding and perspective. I do not want any sympathy, or people to feel sorry for me. I do rely on my friends sometimes in private when I am feeling very depressed. They are a blessing to me and I love them for it.

All I wanted to do is to maybe find someone to love and for someone to love me back. I have alot of love to give and I hope to meet someone someday who will accept me as a whole person...not just my bipolar disease. I apologize that this thread went off on a tangent. The topic at hand is so important. Sometimes, when I am feeling bad, I do seek attention. But I didn't mean to do it in this thread. I apologize to Jen, and the father of the children involved. I will keep praying for them and Krista. Thank you.

Ken

There is no need to apologise Ken to be honest it takes a lot to offend me , to be honest I thought it was more an attempt at humour than offence ( by the way if I offended you I apologise )






I absolutely 100% do not believe that a man with bipolar disease automatically is considered deranged if he is in the manic stage, I do however maintain that in some rare cases it can happen , I also maintain that a significant number of people with bipolar do have other serious mental issues a large proportion of whom go undiagnosed , so it is unwise for every one to judge this man with out knowing all the facts if you look back threw my posts you will see that most of my posts where in response to statements like “illness or not he should be hanged”





There is nothing wrong with that , there are plenty of people here seeking attention and many more willing to give it who knows maybe the next thread you start will bring you love ???

Take Care

Ken, thank you for sharing. Your articulate, brave and honest opinion is a blessing. You know that I experienced many years of similar pain dealing with my ex-husbands mental illness. It is devasting to all involved.

But I can also agree to a point with Crotalusp. Many/Some with Bipolar or other mental illnesses can suffer from multiple problems. My ex began with Bipolar and within a few years was disagnosed Schizo-Affective, slightly less severe than Schizophrenia. He experienced rare events of delusion, psychosis and irrational thought processes. He was able to plan and execute things that later confused and horrified him. I don't think this necesarily makes a person innocent of their actions but just perhaps, another perspective?

Larry Barnard, who set fire in July 2008 to the Southwest McMinnville residence he shared with girlfriend Krista Wiegel, who later died of burns covering 80 percent of her body, pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon to one count each of first-degree manslaughter and first-degree arson.

The manslaughter charge is considered a lesser included offense of the charge of murder.

The 39-year-old defendant will be formally sentenced to almost 17 years in prison — 200 months — at 11 a.m. Monday in Yamhill County Circuit Court.

See Wednesday’s print edition of the News-Register for additional details.

No trial, no appeals, no early release programs - he does every minute of it. Closure for the kids as this won't drag on and on in the court system.

bipolar people are not insane at all. There was a bit more than just bipolar involved here, bipolar folds hurt themselves, not others.

I meant to say, "bipolar folks"

Glad to hear that SOME kind of justice is served now!
Of course it will never bring her back to her kids!
