I think it is written by someone who faked their own death as they wanted to escape their old humdrum life and live a new life of adventure far away from their old life.
Red, I don't think anybody should get anything for nothing. If I were dictator, there would not be one person getting social welfare and lounging around all day drinking and eating fast food. Everybody would have to work and be encouraged to better themselves by upskilling.
I think every single person in prison should have to do work. As well as staving off the boredom, it would also teach them skills and make them into more useful members of society.
Cat, many probably do. But does that mean any chance at rehabilitation should be ignored? If that happens, those petty thieves who hated prison and want to go straight will never get that chance.
Hiya Cat, rehabilitation is important but it probably needs to be done in steps. Firstly a job where they get to earn some money and self-worth but where there is nothing to steal. Then gradually give them more responsibility as they earn it.
People seem to confuse love and marriage. Maybe they took the words of that song too literally - we don't use horses and carriages anymore.
We can't choose who we fall in love with, but we can choose who we allow into our lives to potentially fall in love with. It is up to us to choose wisely.
Love doesn't hurt. Being in love is wonderful. It puts a skip in your step and makes everything seem brighter and full of promise.
Of course if it doesn't work out for some reason, then we can feel hurt and let down. But that doesn't take away from the beauty of love itself.
Having said that, I am not a believer that love conquers all. That to me comes from reading too many fairytales. People need friendship, trust, loyalty, and a sense of being one unit for a relationship to work. Love just adds the cement to that structure.
Cat, I don't want to drag it all up again either, but I beg to differ about your assertion that it was well-intentioned. It was a cold and calculating lie. She said that she couldn't contact him directly but was able to get in contact with his son who confirmed that he had died on the 16th of August. His friends and others on here were shocked and hurt to hear of his death and posted their shock. She only came clean when Jenny posted proof that he was alive after that date. She has a habit of only admitting her lies when caught out. Like she did in a previous one where the blog was removed because she got caught out and she then admitted it in a follow-up blog. Don't be fooled by the cries of innocence or 'I'm only human'. We are all human but don't incessantly lie. As I said, I don't want to drag it all up again but I have been viciously attacked by several people to calling her out on her lies. End of story.
Chat, FYI craic is promounced exactly the same as crack. And yes we know what the drug crack is here too. There are lots of other leanings for crack too, but only one for craic - fun.
That is horrific, Crazy. I'm so sorry it happened to you. It is horrible not to feel safe where you once did. But be strong. You are strong.
When you have got over the ordeal you should invite all your neighbours to a meeting and set up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme. That basically means everybody signs up to keep an eye out for their neighbours, contacting the police if any dodgy people are hanging around, etc. Remind them that it happened to you this time but it could be them or their children next time.

RE: A New Look At Relationships
The most important thing now is that either the man or the woman has to be good at taking orders.I would ague that a relationship is better if neither is constantly forced to have to give orders.
If something needs to be done, it should be done by whoever is in the position to do it at the time.
Then neither partner is put in the position of having to give orders aka nag.
