No comparison
How can you compare a family history of cancer (genetic cause) to all the multitudes of health problems caused by smoking (a voluntary choice). That makes no sense at all! Why should those of us who live healthy lifestyles have to pay for those who choose to be unhealthy? If you get cancer because it runs in your family, that's a totally different thing. There's nothing you can do about that.
It's not really a fair comparison - that may be what she said to you (sm)
but although it may not be true about you it doesn't mean it isn't true about her. I am sorry she said that to you and I would never say any of that to my MIL or about her other than on here on an anonymous board. But thanks for your opinion.
uh, weak comparison;

Most of you missed the point! It wasn't "in comparison
nm
again, weak comparison; we are educated in BCP now, she is famous and rich

The others do have valid points, but...sm
things like this happen to me and I am most annoyed about the lack of consideration. It bothers me to spend time looking for an item to use only to find out it was lent out. My brother once let his friend use my lawnmower, without telling me. I ended up borrowing my neighbor's mower because the lawn was getting overgrown. It took 3 weeks to get mine back. I think it is reasonable to be asked first, especially if it is something of sentimental value, something that needs extra careful handling, or something that is actually used frequently like kitchen implements/pots/pans...and lawnmowers, of course. : )
valid point there.. (sm)
She could go about it one of two ways, depending on what she felt more comfortable with.
1) Allow ex- to violate his restraining order by picking up his stuff from the garage without needing to come in the house, knock on the door, whatever, but still in violation because he's probably not allowed on the property at all. Anyway, this would allow him to come by while she's out and get his stuff WITHOUT him need to get in the house at all.
2) Require that he bring a sheriff along with him to collect his things from the garage. This would keep him in compliance with the restraining order and allow her to keep the garage locked. That would also prevent him from trying to say that his stuff was stolen because of her leaving the garage unlocked.
So yes, you're right. (Don't tell my husband that I just admitted to being wrong... I'd never live it down!) LOL!
Homeschooling is a valid option. Please
feel free to email me personally if you would like any info on homeschooling. I have homeschooled all of my kids after a horrible experience in public schools with my oldest. I don't want to really discuss it here, though, as it is a topic that invites much flaming, and I have no interest in debating it. It works, and we love it. I just checked stats, and according to the US Dept of Education, in 2003 there were 1.1 million kids homeschooled in America. That number is suspected to easily have doubled by now, and new results are due out. My kids are in high school, a fully nationally accredited course, and are very happy kids. Oldest is college bound and also a very happy MT. Sorry for your struggles, but am glad you are challenging the system. Our kids are priceless and deserve more.
you make a valid point..sm
however, it is a socio-economic situation you are describing, not one where he was taught anti-american propaganda in his school years and using that as an excuse for doing what he did. Besides, there are MANY MANY other foreign families who have come to America, not just Korean, and have been in the same types of situations as this young man was, what with no real friends, no support system, etc. and THEY didn't go ballistic and kill people because of it. Perhaps his life at home with his own family may have contributed to him being the way he was, but I don't think there is any one set answer for things like these happening. No one really knows what was going on in that kids head or why he did this and unfortunately, I don't think we will ever really know the answer to that, but I still don't think it happened just because he was Korean. There are mass murderers everywhere, of all different nationalities, who commit horrible atrocious acts, but it isn't because of their nationalities or where they came from that caused it...at least that is just my opinion.
Probably because it was a valid discussion topic below.nm

Yes, but is that a valid reason for not washing your hands after you
Maybe you were just making a statement and if that's all it was, please excuse the question. Personally, I use the papertowel that I dried with and open the bathroom door when I leave. I also keep hand sanitizing gel with me at all times.
because I still have a right to bring up a valid point of stupidity
I'm not going to ignore something so BLATANTLY disgusting, that's why I posted below.
I still am allowed to have an opinion and I'm certainly not going to keep my mouth shut when that needs to be said
Tell me the variety of reasons that tomorrow is about other than, politics and... RACE?
Ms. Valenti makes one valid point although not the one she
We should not treat males and females differently when it comes to behaving immorally. Valenti has written about this fairly extensively (e.g., 'He's a Stud, She's a Slut?'). Of course, she's not arguing that both the male and female should be reproached for immorality, but rather than the slut should be treated (celebrated?) as nonjudgmentally as the stud seems to be. In other words, she is arguing for the lowest common denominator, not the highest.
Let the slut celebration begin.
you have a valid point here, one has always to consider side effects of meds..nm
