There needs to be some laws changed down under, in my opinion  |

| I dont know, it seems like faulty laws if all you have to do to inherit someone's debt is sleep with them. It'd be understandable if you were married, or if you personally signed for a loan then gave the money to him and he skipped on you. Seems like if you were under-handed, all you'd have to do is seduce some poor bloke and then he'd inherit the debt from you What you got from him may be nastier than most actual STDs!
How does he have the right to use your name without your knowledge to rack up debt just because you are dating? I call that identity theft, or fraud, and its a crime either way! How are they making the victim of a crime pay for the crime? If he beat you up and put you in the hospital would that be your fault to? It just does'nt make sense.... |

| Can you just use someone's business name without having some kind of clearance to do so? Did he sign the checks using your name or his? Around here, I have a business checking account, and when I got the account I had to list who all have permission to use it, it would be illegal for someone who does'nt have permission to access the account, even if I am sleeping with her
But yes, the facts are the facts, if thats how it works where you are, you have to live with it. You are talking Australian dollars right? So those sums are actually about half what I'm thinking when I imagine US dollars, right? Either way thats still a hefty amount of money. You need to marry someone with good credit so you'll be able to get a home loan or whatever else you might want a loan for! No wonder you have been depressed.... |

| It still seems to me that if he bought computer equipment using your credit, you should at the very least be able to go after him for the computer equipment you unwillingly bought and then try to resell it to at least recoup some of the losses. If they dont belive he stole your identity or defrauded you, then they must believe that is your computer equipment you bought and he unlawfully stole it.
If this happened to me I'd be angry and complaining to! How long do you calculate it will take you to get out from under all the debt? (edited by Jomb on 09-17-06 10:03 PM) |

| Is there anyway to be in a relationship without giving them access to what's left of your credit? Seems like this guy doubly screwed you because not only are you poor, but alone now to. Guys will generally still date poor girls, so there is no reason for you to have to be alone. Maybe just try to be more cautious next time, be optimistic, but not naive. Draw the line at opening duel-checking or credit accounts until you are actually married. Keep your credit cards guarded (if you have any). | |||

| Bears? Yogi bear and smokey the bear are not threatening. Bees are a different matter, especially killer bees. And birds to (because of bird flu). So basically, we should be terrified of the birds and the bees. | |||

| In my experience, people who are healthy do not want to believe that mental illness really exists, they want to believe that everyone is perfectly in control of their own actions and can make rational decisions. To allow for the reality that some people are mentally ill would mean that there are people not totally responsible for their actions, and most people will not tolerate that notion. Most people cant conceive of such a thing in any real way, having never experienced it. It's like trying to get someone to believe in something they cant see or feel, and that they ardently dont want to believe in or are unwilling to take the time to learn about. Some people also look at like this "you got problems, so do i, but you dont see me popping pills over mine, get over it wimp".
Another part of the problem, I think, is that their are too many bogus "mental illnesses" being invented to market medication, which detracts from the people who really are mentally ill. It used to be if you were diagnosed as bi-polar that really meant something, now it seems like everyone and their mother are being diagnosed as bi-polar, for example. About 10 years ago I only knew of 1 person in my area who had a mental illness diagnosis, and she really was. Now I know of at least a couple dozen just in my area, and most of them i have doubts about. I even know one guy who gets disability over it and he seems perfectly normal to me and says he's faking it for the money. Just because someone is slightly quirky that does'nt make them mentally ill, that title needs to be reserved for people who truly cant cope on their own. The medication for depression is a scary concept to me. I've been depressed before, I even was put in a solitary confinement rubber room once for suicidal behavior many years ago, but I've always refused all medication. Most people I've known who went on that sort of medication had major personality changes, for the worse. But if the choice is take the medication or die, obviously go with the medication. I'd say only use the medication if all other options had been thoroughly exhausted. |

| ADHD is one of the ones I sometimes wonder about. Are'nt children normally a little hyper and inquisitive? Why medicate them to zombies over it? | |||

| I've been wondering if maybe the Bush white house has intentionally let Bin Laden go, that way they can continue to use him to scare the voters with, in order to get votes, and as further justification for taking more power and control for themselves.. If we caught him and the war on terror ended, that would most likely be bad for the Republicans in the long run (after the initial good will that he was caught). If he is magically captured shortly before an election that the white house is worried about then we know what's what |

| There is no doubt it's had a greater impact than sharks or bears, all I'm saying is that the impact is artificial and man-made, if we gave it as much coverage as the average car pile up on the interstate it would have little impact at all. Are the lives of the people who died in terrorist attacks really more valuable than the people who were killed by sharks, bears, drunk drivers, lightning strikes, hurricanes, earthquakes, falling in the bathtub, regular murderers, smoking, etc? It's being used as propaganda to allow the government to wage wars, spend outrageous sums of money, and get re-elected on the platform of fear. If we applied the same level of paranoia to the extremely higher death toll we pay for having automobiles, we'd all be walking everywhere and car manufacturers would be bombed in the name of public safety. But I guess having a car is more important than thousands of lives, but our freedom is not. | |||

| Anybody else see the interview where he loses his temper? I did'nt really think much about Bill Clinton before, but now I kinda like him. I think he was in the right to. More Democrats need to stand up and be heard, the other side of the spectrum has tons of outlets for their opinions (i'm thinking of all the conservative talk radio shows and most of the Fox news programming), while I rarely get to hear much from the Democrats. Seems to me that most of the time the right will start spouting off some absurd claims and propoganda and it goes unquestioned. | |||

| A little known band called "Gentle Tasaday" released a song called "Of Cobwebs And Obtuse Angels". It is about 16 minutes long and just gets creepier and creepier as it goes.
Another little little known band called "Alva" released an album called "Fine-Haired Guillotine" which oftentimes sounds like nightmarish carnival music with occasional strange lyrics. One song in particular creeps me out when the only vocal is some high pitched female voice saying "mommmmmmmmmy" in the background.

| "And in reference to Jomb, in many opinions (including textbooks that I myself have read) the media IN ITSELF is more liberal than conservative, although individual conservative mediums are generally more well-known. If you're not hearing anything from Democrats, then maybe you are deaf and blind, sir. I hear Bush-bashing each day and see it in the opinion section of the paper each day. Conservatives no longer really defend him, either, so it really is an open issue left to the Democrats altogether. "
Maybe in your area the media is more liberal than in mine. My local paper is not very biased either way and rarely tackles political issues (i live in a small town). I seldom watch TV in general so i dont watch the news on network TV. That leaves me with 3 channels of news: Fox news, CNN, and MSNBC. Fox is ridiculously slanted towards the right despite its claims of being "fair and balanced", with opinions being passed off as facts and the actual facts being slanted and spun a certain way. CNN appears to have little slant either way that I can detect. MSNBC seems to have individual shows with a right wing slant, but as a whole not as bad as Fox. The only other way I really get news is occasionally on a radio while driving in a car, and that is possibly even more slanted than Fox, it seems to be nothing but right-wing crackpots (see Rush Limbaugh). Where are the Left-wing crackpots? There does'nt seem to be any that get their own shows. Or maybe they just dont make it to my area. The supposed liberal slant of the media does'nt seem to exist to me. When the plain old facts go against the right (such as the statistics on how the war is going), that is not a liberal slant, that is just reality. |

| "In my experience, the rural poor are just as pathetic and to blame for their own state of life as your host proclaims. They did have the premartial sex, got into drugs and alcohol, got into trouble with the law, etc. and so at least that far he would be right. However, in the inner-cities, being poor is a born characteristic, so I can hardly blame an african-american child born to an impoverished single mother for his state of life."
OK, so you are saying that a person born poor in the inner city is a victim, but a person born poor in the countryside is just a pathetic loser? It's exactly the same thing being born poor regardless of where you were born. How is it worthy of sympathy when a poor down-trodden black man in the inner city turns to hustling drugs and gang-banging, but its contemptable when a poor down-trodden hill-billy in the countryside turns to alchohol for solace? I find your statement somewhat racist. Being poor with few options to improve your lot in life is equally sad in the inner city or in the boondocks. |

| What I thought was ludicrous was when Hastert claimed it was all the Democrats and Soros fault. Like they somehow showed up and forced Foley to write IMs to this teen. I'm very sick of the people in power constantly trying to blame other people for their mistakes and/or hiding them.
I read that the messages were sent to the FBI way back in July, so it's not like Democratic Operatives were keeping this quiet till just now. If i came across such a thing and sent it to the FBI I'd figure that was the end of my responsibility in the matter. |

| "Marriage existed as a sacred institution long before the laws of America were a twinkle in the Founding Fathers' eyes, or before Columbus even stepped onto his ship to seek the Indies; we as Americans did not invent marriage, and we cannot alter its character by declaring it an entirely secular insitution."
this is very true, but it goes further than that. We in America are supposed to have freedom of religion. We are supposed to be free to decide on any religion we'd like. Most religions, including some which pre-date Christianity, have marriages in them. Not all of those religions have problems with Homosexuals marrying each other. Making the Christian concept of marriage a law violates the freedom of religion for people wishing to marry under a different religion. That is why marriage is a secular thing in the US for legal purposes, but people choose to have the ceremony in whatever religious setting they prefer to also give it sacred meaning to them. But its wrong to try to foist one religions version of marriage onto everyone else. |

| "Which part is worse.... the fact that the person involved was underage, or the same gender as the politician?"
to me the worst part is that these teens are wards of the state and Foley is an authority figure supposed to be watching over them. |

| The marriage issue is a classic example of people wanting to force everyone to their own viewpoints. How does it possibly effect you what some other people's marriage arrangements are? I'd be against it to if we were talking about forcing people to have homosexual marriages, but that is not the case. Worry about your own marriage and make sure its a good one, dont concern yourself with how other people choose to live their lives, so long as they are'nt interfering with yours. |
