Well to most reading the story they would believe they did. But care homes are meant to be regulated no matter where they are and the standard of care they provided showed serious neglect. They were even inspected after complaints of the conditions were filed.
There are many ways to leave no trace to bodies. Especially with chemicals. All you need is to know how.
Why they were never charged with neglect. That they focused on just the money. But they saw the living conditions and that was evidence to support that.
I get they can't be charged with murder without evidence.
Molly, I like personal space too. I will even go as far as I need personal space. But there again when I really like someone I like being in their company a lot. Which then becomes complex.
So finding that line of personal space can be a fine line to me.
Thank you everyone, it has certainly given me food for thought reading your replies. In a sense as well that there are some what I would decent people out there.
I think people take to places like this to feel like they're heard. Rather than be understood. Because often people are not heard even in their friendships in reality.
If you are understood then doesn't that create a connection?
Our realities differ, because one person's reality is not often anothers by the choices we make, the opportunties we take. The failures we encounter and the people we meet.
We know our realities and love for some of us is just not part of that. Be it temporary or life long. It would still be our reality, even if not anothers. I am not convinced we need to prove that to anyone.
Nope Knowledge. More of a case I wouldn't tolerate my daughter talking to people like you are.
You're 18, the same age as her. You think you know everything. In 10 or so years you will realise you know nothing. Like most adults do. When you get even older you'll realise you know very little and will keep learning for the rest of your life.
The fact of how you represent yourself is an issue for me. Simple as that. The Anon mask, the finger salute.. all that
#knowledge an 18 year old you need to learn that if you are going to try and educate an oldie like me. You need to learn how to speak to an oldie like me.
Are you saying that give respect to everyone until they give you a reason not too? Or perhaps we should be more understanding to people and still be able to respect them even if they are not?
Bear I do like your long answers though. But I understand where you are coming from. I am personally glad I was taught respect.
Fay, like Mimi and TK. I think other cultures can teach us a different kind of respect and when I have travelled some, not as much as TK. I have valued some of their ways to show respect to each other. Although, I do think it would be a challenge for a lot of Westerners.
Naivete, frustrating that we can still be seen as children by those that have seen us grow up. Sometimes I am tempted to squeeze their cheeks back
You had expectations when you joined, maybe idealisms. Along with that comes disappointment.
If you truly want to reach your goal. You won't give up easily. You'll keep going till you get the end result.
Maybe expand your social circle to increase your chances of meeting someone offline as online tends to cater more to older people due to life and possible changes in their sicial circle. Commitments and responsibilities.
In short OP, offline is perhaps a better option for you.
I agree I wouldn't give anyone money for beer. I think it is foolish to even put a sign asking for it.
I tend to watch and ask. I grabbed a couple of days away this week and there were a lot of people begging. I can't give to all that is for sure. I am just not in that position to do that. There was a lady. Now I watched.. I didn't help maybe bad of me. But, if she can get a packet of smokes out of her pocket. Then she doesn't need my help so much. Whereas someone else perhaps would.
I know there certainly isn't enough shelters and also recognise some people wouldn't try for one reason or another. But if I can see, I try. It can be a tough call to make. But I think sometimes and I am guilty of it as a human we assume from negatives.
But like you I would rather go buy food or a cup of coffee than give money.
Maybe it's just me Fay, but if I don't have time. I would give them what little money I had spare. To buy a sandwhich. It's more to do with my conscience than to assume it may be used to for drugs.
There are many people that have fallen on hard times in life for many reasons. I do it because I hope that if I was in that position that there were good people that would help me too.
One day I was trying to pick up a large item from a store and I was grateful to the member of staff that helped me. What followed was it was difficult to put the item in my car, even for the two of us. A man who had been sat outside a store came and helped. He unpacked it and struggled with us. Now he looked like a beggar. As we were working it out. We began to talk. He was homeless and everyday day he walked miles to a pick up point. Where he was collected to go to work. That day they hadn't turned up..
He had fallen on hard times. He wasn't a druggie. He was sober as a judge. He asked for nothing and I thanked him for his help. He said you are welcome and I couldn't watch you struggle.
As I went to drive off he went to help someone else. Now, if he had been picked up that day.. he'd of earned a wage. So I stopped and gave him all my loose change. He said thank you and I watched. He went and brought a cup of coffee.
I guess we can all assume why but unless we talk to the person we never really do know why and in his case. He fell apart after his divorce and lost his kids.
I don't like him. Simple as that, that's a personal choice. But I don't like men of his character full stop.
There are lots of reasons why I don't like him and he does not represent America in a good way to me.
All I mostly see is people wanting other people to like him, because they do. All I see is people talking about him all the time and how great they think he is. Like it's meant to change my opinion of him. It doesn't.
Personally, after encountering many older guys on these blogs and the forums. I can see why the younger generations have very little respect left for the older generation. In the way they act and in the way they talk. Teaching them it's ok behave in such a way. Pretty much like what Trump does. After all you are meant to lead by example.

RE: Some terrific irony in the newest Borowitz column
I think he was describing himself to be fair.
