Alec Baldwin on Parental Alienation Syndrome I generally cannot stand this man but I completely agree with what he is saying in this clip. Children in divorce situation are emotionally battered, usually by their mothers, into thinking their father is 'bad.'
Now 23, divorced, and a parent herself, Anne has recognized only recently that she was manipulated, that her long-held view of her father isn’t accurate. They live 2,000 miles apart but now try to speak daily. “I’ve missed out on a great friendship with my dad,” she says. “It hurts.”
Relationships are a lot of work. They can end in happiness, but most often, they end in a passive aggressive battle. We decided we'd show you the stages of most relationships.
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 and have discovered a number of undesirable side effects.
First, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities. Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Football 5.0, Playing Cards 7.5, and Boys Night Out 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected.
Second, I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0 , but the 'uninstall' doesn't work on Wife 1.0.
Finally, I noticed that the Wife 1.0 auto-installed Child-Process 1.0 BETA and that is taking up a LOT of space and valuable resources. In addition Child Process 1.0 has completely deactivated Sex Drive 9.0, it will not even allow me to to re-install earlier versions of Sex Drive and I cannot get Sex Drive to run on any other server without crashing my system.
While on the whole, relationships are universally recognized as a good thing, and striven for, there are certain drawbacks that must be equally recognized. The fact is that men literally live two different lives; there’s the single man, and then there is the committed man. Men are usually forced to go through both stages several times before finally settling into one or the other, but the two lifestyles are distinct. These 15 freedoms make up the basic framework of those things we lose when transitioning between the single life, and finally committing to that long sought-after relationship.
Over this past weekend, I got into a discussion with friends that (inevitably) led to sex and pornography, and it all boiled down to two questions: Is porn a good thing, or a bad thing? And ... what does it do for our sex lives?
It’s an inflammatory question at best and a loaded one at worst. In modern American terms a few phrases come to mind: sperm donor, tax payer, conscript, meal ticket.
You are not a sperm donor whose purpose is to fulfill a woman’s ‘biological clock.’ When it comes to paying taxes, they’ll confiscate a significant portion of your earnings, give it to someone else (after taking their 30% cut in waste, fraud and abuse) and leave you broke and penniless in your old age. Anyone see the recent article saying retirement will be moved up to 85? Social Security can only work if enough people, like you, die before they can collect a cent (READ- Pyramid Scheme).
Ask young women if their attitude toward men is “love ‘em and leave ‘em,” and almost all, says Spa! (Sept 22-29), will protest that they would never dream of being so heartless. But rephrase the question: ask them if they “fade out” after one or two or maybe three sexual encounters, and, to the magazine’s amazement, fully one-third say they do!
Friends and other associates of Mr. Edwards and his wife of 32 years, Elizabeth, say she has resisted the idea of her husband’s claiming paternity of his former mistress' child. Mrs. Edwards, who is battling cancer, “has yet to be brought around,” said one family friend, who like others spoke about the situation on the condition of anonymity, pointing to the complicated and delicate nature of the issue.
Claiming that the State Legislature had their “power usurped,” seven liberal Democrats on California’s State Assembly Judiciary Committee unanimously passed House Resolution 5 on February 17, 2009. The committee’s three Republicans all opposed the resolution.
HR 5, authored by self-admitted homosexual Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a Democrat from San Francisco, seeks to make it the state’s official position to oppose Proposition 8. Prop 8 was the voter-approved Constitutional amendment that declared “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” This amendment passed with the support of over 7 million voters, which accounted for 52% of the vote on November 4, 2008.
Why isn't the number of smokers treated as a fait accompli that the rest of us just have to accept? Smoking causes a lot less damage and the harm befalls the person who chooses to smoke, not innocent children.
The Times' single motherhood endorsements always describe single mothers as the very picture of middle-class normality: "She grew up in blue-collar Chester County, Pa., outside Philadelphia, and talks like a local girl (long O's). Her father was a World War II vet who worked for a union and took his kids to Mass most Sundays." Even as a girl she dreamed of raising a baby with a 50 percent greater chance of growing up in poverty.
I truly hate to draw attention or possibly throw any business to a particularly gangrenous sore on the ass of society such as the online services offered by Ashley Madison Agency, but it's necessary to highlight them when I believe so wholeheartedly that organizations like this are not only part of the reason this once great country has lost its moral bearing, but is proof positive that they are further assisting its demise. Destroy marriages, destroy families, destroy the foundations of society and you can bring a country to its knees. From blowjobs in the White House to websites that offer dating services for already married persons to unchecked greed on Wall Street and in Congress, we're a people in serious need of a reality check. Just google this outfit and you'll find dozens of hits, many including threads containing plenty of bilge from morons supporting this kind of service.
The grieving father of an abused, obese 10-year-old Staten Island boy allegedly killed by his mother lashed out at the city yesterday as family gathered for the child's funeral.
Jaquan Porter's emotional father charged that court officials, the Administration for Children's Services and other city agencies failed to help him track the boy and his mother, Melissa Sekulski, as they moved from borough to borough.
Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance.
They found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms.
“Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,” said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.
He believes the phenomenon is an “evolutionary adaptation” that is hard-wired into women, driving them to select men on the basis of their perceived quality.
Tom Hanks, Executive Producer for HBO’s controversial polygamist series “Big Love,” made his feelings toward the Mormon Church’s involvement in California's Prop 8 (which prohibits gay marriage) very clear at the show’s premiere party on Wednesday night.
Greenfield Police Chief Joe Grebmeier said on Monday that his officers keep hearing rumors of arranged marriages between girls and older men.
Some of the rumored marriages involved girls as young as 10 years old being matched with men from their teens to their 60s, he said.
Until one case broke last weekend, Grebmeier said, it has been difficult for police to look into the stories. People didn’t want to talk about the subject.
“Knowing and proving something are two different things,” he said.
The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court this week not to hear the case of Lisa Miller v. Janet Jenkins may, effectively, send a Christian mother to jail for not sharing Thanksgiving – and her 6-year-old daughter – with her former lesbian partner.
Because the Supreme Court refused to hear her appeal, Miller now faces trial dates in January and possible contempt charges for refusing to comply with a lower court's dictate that her former lesbian partner be granted visitation rights with her daughter, Isabella Miller.
Re-airing on MSNBC on Sunday, December 14th at 4 PM EST. Dear Zachary was named one of the top 5 documentaries of 2008 by the National Board of Review! It also recently won Best Documentary at the Orlando Film Festival and the Audience Award at the St. Louis International Film Festival.
When asked about his perspective on social issues — gay marriage, abortion — Prince tapped his Bible and said, "God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, 'Enough.'"
The real issue is whether marriage should be redefined...Despite heavy television advertising in California for “gay marriage,” showing blacks being set upon by police dogs during civil-rights marches, and implying that homosexuals face the same discrimination today, the analogy is completely false.
Blacks had to sit in the back of the bus because they were black. They were doing exactly what white people were doing — riding a bus. That is what made it racial discrimination.
Marriage is not a right but a set of legal obligations imposed because the government has a vested interest in unions that, among other things, have the potential to produce children, which is to say, the future population of the nation.
Approval of Proposition 8 would be a stunning upset in a $70-million campaign that just weeks ago looked to be running in favor of preserving gay marriage rights.
By 9 p.m. in California, 54.5 % of voters favored passing Prop 8, as the measure is known, and 45.5% were against it, with 20.9% of precincts voting, according to the Secretary of State. However, both sides cautioned that the vote could be very close and that it might still be early to declare a winner.
The passage of Prop 8, as it is known, would be a major victory for religious conservatives seeking to ban gay marriage in other states, and a crippling setback for the gay rights movement nationwide.
Judge Peter Fox QC told her: "You have been a very unhappy lady for a very considerable period of time when this 14-year-old boy seduced you and not you him both so far as sexual matters and as far as drugs are concerned."
FTA "A U.K. chef found guilty of brutally stabbing and murdering his former lover and frying up pieces of the man’s flesh will spend at least 30 years behind bars. Anthony Morley, 36, a former Mr. Gay U.K., claims that Damien Oldfield, 33, tried to rape him at his home and that the killing was done in self-defense."
Wow, that's a tough story to swallow. Amazing how this guy thought he could reach around the legal system and eat his boyfriend with a side of tossed salad...
In a violent display of intolerance, an opponent of Proposition 8 attacked and seriously injured a man who was volunteering on Sunday for the initiative to define marriage as between and a man and a woman.

McDonald’s said it won’t renew its membership with the NGLCC when it expires in December -- and that its vice president, Richard Ellis, has resigned from the NGLCC board.
In a press release issued Thursday the NGLCC said "McDonald’s USA has been a good partner with the Chamber. There has been no discussion between the NGLCC and McDonalds regarding continuing membership, nor has the NGLCC been notified of any move not to renew our work together." The group went on to note that its mandate isn't to pursue "political agendas."
