I don't really have anything meaningful to add. Just wanted to say that this mans rational thinking should be an example for everyone.

umm.... What?

I feel like so many people overlook the idea that people grow apart and that there is no one to blame. I guess it easier when there's solid reason for a friendship ending but sometimes people just change. It's not good or bad. It's just change.

I don't agree that parents are required to love their children unconditionally. When they're small, perhaps, but once they're grown if they aren't respecting you, if they're abusing you or have become "toxic" then I think that's a basis for no longer loving them.

this is Henry (so named after VIII) and I got for two reasons: 1. I love cats my friends cat had a litter and he needed a home. 2. I wanted someone to spoil rotten, I'm not ashamed of that. I have a 4 year old and I love her but spoiling her rotten would be the worst thing I could do for her. Conversely: spoiling my…

In Britain the police rarely use guns. They certainly don't carry them routinely.

they're cops, they're trained to handle stressful situations with cool heads. If they were "startled" into shorting then they've already failed at their job.

Australian cops have fun but they have to have a damn good reason if the discharge them. As soon as they fire a weapon they're investigated.
