I LOVE Marilyn. I have 6 original photos of her in black frames with back matting on my bedroom wall. The frames measure about 14 x 16 and take up one complete wall.
I know her story and equate it to much of my own personal story.
When someone blinks their lights at you, you interpret it to mean that it is safe to move the car
However, if the person blinking their lights didn't see a hidden car and someone drives because of the blinking lights, is the the person who blinked their lights responsible?
Each car takes its turn to go into the intersection
The next car that should move doesn't move so one of the other drivers blinks his lights to go ahead but the car doesn't move
Instead, one of the other drivers that is waiting his turns goes into the intersection getting involved in an accident
It turns into a lawsuit.
There is a deposition of the person who moved when he saw the blinking lights. He said "but he blinked his lights so I drove into the intersection".
END OF SCENE
I've heard talk that the person who blinked the lights can be responsible for causing the accident. Here in New Jersey we have "no fault" laws so no one is at fault. But I wonder how it would work in other states or other countries.
Would a law enforcement officer no the answer or an attorney.
I work in a law office but my field is legal malpractice. That's when a client sues his attorney cause he didn't get the judgment he expected.
So, does anybody know if the guy who blinked his lights can be sued?
Yesterday on the way home from work, after leaving the highway, I was on a residential street.
As I'm driving I see three boys kicking a girl on the ground.
I stopped the car to approach the boys but they ran away.
As I pulled away I thought, I'll go around the block. By the time I get around they will be back out there, and that's what happened.
This time all four kids were standing. I got out of the car and said I'd like to talk to you. They were a bit apprehensive but they could see I didn't have an ax in my hand.
I asked them, do you think it's nice to kick a girl. They started laughing. I was shocked that they would laugh at this and said, why do you think it's okay to kick and hit a girl.
One of the boys said "We wouldn't do that" and I said, then why are you doing it.
The kid that was being kicked said "I'm a boy". I was so embarrassed.
I felt like a fool mostly because I didn't want to make the boy feel uncomfortable cause I thought he looked like a girl. He had long black hair so I assumed he was a she. I know what "assume" means and I was sure one of those last night.
That's right. It did feel good at the time cause I thought "I got her" but the fact that it still bothers me shows I should have taken the time to think before I acted.
You're right, it did happen a long time ago. I think it was 1992. So yes, it still bothers me because I feel I stooped lower than my self-esteem.
She probably used kerosene to heat the house to save money. It was the dead of winter and very cold. She wasn't stupid...she had to know that it's dangerous. But she didn't care about my safety. And then on top of it she had no guilts about giving me 30 days to find another place to live.
People think I'm trying to change their opinion about something when it is different from mine. I would never do that.
I like to discuss things. That's why I joined the forums, to talk to people.
Maybe I'm just having a feel sorry for myself day. Oh, poor Corinne I can make fun of myself can't I ???
I don't know Rose. Maybe it's the time change. Gotta blame it on something
For all those that read this, I REALLY do try to get along with everyone, even those that have bashed me in the past. I have have had private conversations with people trying to make people understand me. That's all I want from you guys.....just understand me.....
I agree, I too was younger and wanted immediate gratification.
If you ask me would I do it today, no I wouldn't. Not because I don't believe in it but because I get nervous easily these late years in my life and like someone else said, I'd only be creating a condition for myself that wouldn't be good.
In 2005 my boyfriend robbed me of $60,000. It forced me into bankruptcy. Did I get revenge on him. No. I could have made his life miserable cause I knew what buttons to push.
I probably didn't do it cause I was emotionally hurt as well as financially.
You're right, it doesn't feel good. I wanted immediate gratification at the time.
The thing that surprises me is right here in the forums people get revenge on each other everyday just because someone gave an opinion yet you're all saying that you practice Karma and are all goody two shoes people. I don't believe it. I didn't call anyone a liar!!!!!!!! I just think no one wants to admit to it.
I was living in a furnished room in a private home back in the early 90's.
The lady that rented the room to me wasn't reporting the income on her taxes. I didn't care....at that point.
When winter came she used a kerosene heater to heat the house. I was terrified and told someone. That person told me I should tell the renter how dangerous it is. I was nervous about telling someone what they should do in their own home so I asked my friend to talk to her.
My friend told the lady and within an hour the lady said I had 30 days to move out. I was very destitute at that time in my life and didn't have much time to find another furnished room.
I was angry and notified the IRS that this woman has been renting a room for many years and not reporting it on her income taxes.
Was I a scumbag for doing that, probably. But I wanted revenge. I wanted her to be in the same boat she put me in.
I'm not proud to tell you this....it's just the truth.
Sorry for your disappointments. I started online dating 3 years ago on several sites. I've met many men but never anyone I would introduce to my daughter. I've heard stories on here how people have met someone they love and are now happy with that person. Yes, there is a lot of B.S. on dating sites because people like to play games -- women as well as men.
I think you are expecting too much for only being here a month. I've been on CS 3 years but only in the forums about a month. I joined the forums to interact with people from other countries as well as my own because I'm interested in learning the culture of other countries. I don't expect, nor am I looking for the love of my life in the forums.
Please don't be offended when I say this but I think your profile makes you sound very vulnerable and desperate. I could be wrong but my first impression is that you are a very nice lady but too anxious.
I hope you stay on CS. There are a lot of nice people here. Give it a chance. Look for friends instead of lovers. These guys and gals will make you laugh when you see how they carry on with each other.
