you can't stop them from playing the lottery. It stinks to think that a person who would do such a sick thing would be lucky enough to win the lottery. Not really anything you can do about it though.

Does anyone live next to sex offenders? sm
I live by myself on 15 acres in a rural community. There are 4 tier 3 sex offenders living within walking distance of me. The newest one is a rapist who I think just got of jail and lives next to me, albeit about 3 football field widths away. Next to him is another tier 3 offender and then past him are 2 more.
One of them (the one on the other side of the newest one) runs a lawn mower repair service and my dad, who owns my property, but does not live here, had him fix a lawn mower and then wanted him to do some other work at my house. I told my dad I didn't feel comfortable having him around. The guy always had an excuse why he couldn't work anyway which is okay with me. The guy is a real manipulative slick liar. I don't want him on my property, but am afraid if he shows up and I tell him to get off, he'll take this as a power play on my part.
I've also had other problems with him concerning my horses like letting them out of the fence on purpose and trying to steal them or maybe hit one of them so he could sue. He hit a dog of some people down the street and tried to sue them. I had one horse that was mean and he and his buddy came saying they could work with her. I let them take her and then they tried to get me to give them another one of my horses and I said no. I told them several times the mean one could come back to me if she didn't work out. Well less then 2 weeks later they sold her, which is what I think they had in mind all along and tried to get my other one too so they could sell him. I got different stories about where she went. I tried to find her. I feel bad because I didn't want anything bad to happen to her even though she was mean. I'm not used to dealing with unsavory people and can't believe I fell for their stupid manipulative tricks.
Anyway, anyone have any experiences with having to live with this. Since the new one moved in, I'm kind of uneasy and find it hard to sleep. I only have my 3 dogs for protection, don't own a gun. 
I really want to move out of this place in the worse way, not only because of the sex offenders, but because of some of the other neighbors and just the community in general. I've never met so many nasty people in my life. If you haven't lived there all your life, they treat you like dirt. My neighbor across the street throws leftover food in his yard and wonders why all these animals come in his yard including my dogs some of time. He got drunk one day and tried to run my dogs down. Unfortunately I don't pay any rent and can't afford to live anywhere else because I only make $1500 a month. I've been trying to find another job but you know how that is nowadays.
Thanks for letting me vent. I just don't know what to do. 
Maybe I should have worded the topic differently, like Demand stricter laws for sex offenders...
I am sorry if the wording of the topic offended anyone. I was rushed but wanted to type up something to get the word out about what I had seen on the Oprah show, and that was the first thing I thought of. But the main goal of my post was to get people to demand harsher laws for sex offenders and to make the laws more uniform from state to state so they cannot "hide out" in states with more lenient laws.
So sickening
that we women have to treat men as if they are little boys. Yes, those other women don't nag, etc ... until they become THE woman and his behavior actually matters to her.
Some men just need to grow up!
it's sickening, I know and eventually we....sm
I am certain eventually in Florida (south) - we will have the same - I already know that Home Depot here has self-checking out/cashiering ongoing......I knew 10-15 years ago that cashiers were going to be slowly faded out in this country......and that we will check our own things out from stores
BUT....CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALREADY DOWN THE TOILET in S. Florida by the way.....sorely lacking here for 25-30 years.....
this just adds to more lousy customer service....2 words which I think MANY PEOPLE (in the field) just don't get.....CUSTOMER SERVICE - think about it....we are the bread and butter on these people's tables - and they ACT like they are doing US a favor....OH I HATE WAL-MART!!!
You have GOT to be kidding me. That is the most sickening thing I think sm
I've heard in years. Seriously. I wonder if Ms. Oprah is still gonna promote this Secret stuff.
Hey, I don't want to promote my religion, but these people need God for real. I found God late in life (thankfully) and so I don't have to fall for this "Secret" hogwash crap.
Granted, I do believe in some of the theories that I've heard, but it is very, very misleading.
Well, I live in a big city and it goes on here all the time. Sickening.

This is truly sickening. I had an uncle who lived with his mother sm
until his 50s, lived off of her, stole from her, slept in the same bedroom. They are both gone now, but the whole family was disgusted by this and him. She was definitely an enabler. Would borrow money so she could "help him out." He attended a methadone clinic monthly and she paid for it. No one could tell her anything, either.
He died young. Committed suicide.
