How about move to a cheaper neighborhood? It seems like you're reaching beyond your means for, what sounds like, a fairly crappy house. $225,000 is a LOT of money, even in Southern California. I grew up there and my parents made similar amount of money (though much less than you when they were your age), so I should know.
Well, I think his/her point is that some people can forgive and work past it. Maybe that wouldn't work for you, but some abusers DO realize the mistakes they made and their loved ones are willing to forgive and reestablish a healthy relationship. Of course, this is all very dependent on the circumstances of each individual case.

There's nothing wrong with what Anonymous said. In fact, I think it's preferable to start over instead of everyone leading a life of anger, regret, resentment, and disconnection. For example, my father was emotionally & physically abusive to my family when he was an alcoholic. He sobered up when I was 9 years old and we've worked to maintain a healthy relationship into my adulthood. I appreciate that he's in my life now, which probably would not be the case had my mother divorced him when I was a child.

So yeah, a relationship can absolutely survive if there's abuse. It really depends on the abuser's willingness to change and for the aggrieved victims to grant forgiveness.

That's funny, she doesn't look Druish.
Does wonders for the ego....
That said, would still hit it like it's no one's business.
This girl perfectly encapsulates central Florida.

Bottle blond. Check. Gozonga implants. Check. Douchenozzle GOP lackey in her family. Check. Horseback riding. Check.

Stay cultured, FL.

Yup. Here's a Slate article that explains what's actually happening on the ground. The devil is in the details of the GOP primaries. There's more ways to win then just winning the beauty contests:

"Taxing or legalizing drugs will not get organized crime out or make doing drugs safer. "

Huh? It seemed to work when we ended the disaster known as Prohibition. That took the money right out of the mafia's pocket and the violence off the street.

Black dude acting like the 'ghetto thug' white society expects him to be.
White domestic abusers get a pass and get to make EVEN more money (ie. Charlie fucking Sheen)
Nope. Everyone is China is on the same 'official' clock. The state completely disregards time zones.

Fuck you, very much. This isn't France or Germany.
My thoughts exactly. It seems like this is more of a war trophy than outright glorification of Nazis or promoting racism. They are co-opting a symbol of the enemy's pride and then pissing all over it. It was the symbol of the elite Nazi force - these Marines see themselves as 'elite.'

The Germans killed a shit-ton of good Marines. And if you know anything about the Marines, you'd know that they 1.) are not PC in the least bit and 2.) don't go out of their way to honor, respect and glorify their enemies.

This seems like more of a matter of civilians not understanding Marine culture.

I don't think that there is any hard & fast rules on what is 'extreme' and what is not.

It's more to do with anything you would be embarrassed by if found out by your employer, friends, family, community, etc. The point is that if someone could use it to plausibly blackmail you, then it would be considered 'extreme' and you would be passed over for a job if you handled sensitive information. There's the chance, however slight, that you could be blackmailed into giving up classified information.

Same goes for people with high levels of 'bad' debt (ie gambling, credit cards, or other consumer debt). If you got money problems, the government is not going to trust you with its secrets. There's a good chance you might accept a bribe or are just plainly irresponsible (and this incompetent).

Moral fiber and ethical conduct are closely scrutinized in these checks.

Are you nuts? Yes, it absolutely does. If he was in violation of court ordered support, then it deserves to be in the file.

Any background investigation for an appointee position or a security clearance will almost always touch upon moral and ethical elements of the individual's personality, among other deeply personal elements. If you display a low degree of loyalty to your friends/family, then why would we trust you to be loyal to the American government? I think that these are fair topics to broach.

Another huge issue is blackmail. If an individual has a sordid past with drugs, extreme sexual behavior, unsavory (yet legal) business practices, or anything else that would be 'embarrassing' if revealed, the government wants to know and WILL find out about it. They don't want to hire someone who might be susceptible to blackmail. It's not even really a 'moral' judgment, but more of the idea that 'we can't afford to take a chance with this guy....even if he's changed his ways.' This is especially relevant for diplomats and intelligence officials who are privy to top secret documents and are actively monitored by foreign elements.

My personal belief, especially when it concerns especially heinous crimes that can ruin your reputation (e.g. rape, murder, terrorism), is that the accused's name should not be released until after the indictment. If there's enough evidence to indict, then the public has a right to know.

Kelly's name has been dragged through the mud and he has no recourse. Even though he's innocent, he still has the stigma of "RAPIST" unfairly hanging over his head.

Sounds like you're a toxic bachelorette who really has a deep and very dislike for the male gender, perhaps even bordering on misandry.

Projecting much?
