Is that a valid reason to pay criminals to put them on an overcrowded boat that might sink?

Ah, so it's all our fault that they haven't been able to govern their countries properly, despite having had independence for a long time. LOL. I suspect most of the population were born AFTER independence. Perhaps if the rulers had their bank accounts examined the populace might know where all the money went.

If they can't do it legally, why do they think they have a right to just turn up and expect a welcome mat? I only have sympathy for genuine refugees, not economic ones.

So, what happened to that? Was it all just talk, or have they given up?

Character, so far as I know, is fixed by 3 years old. That kid ain't going to change, so I agree, the kid can't be fixed. Live with it or leave, but start locking the room so he can't steal stuff. Complaining about the kid stealing and doing nothing about it isn't helping anybody.

Perhaps she didn't realise that sin sod is for her parents, not her.

Do you actually see a future with a woman that steals your money to gamble and why is she able to access your bank account to take the money in the first place? Why are you paying her a "salary" when she can get a job?

Disagree, IMO he's just an idle <deleted> that never had any discipline. Does the place belong to the OP? If it's rented, leave them to carry on without the ATM to pay for it. I had a similar problem with my wife's nephews, but I had to leave to get my sanity back as it was the family house. If the OP can't move, can't leave the GF and can't get rid of the son, just ignore it, but don't pay anything for son's expenses. It's not like he has to live in that room. Making an issue of it with GF isn't going to work out well, as he is her son, after all.

Whatever your point may be ( I'm not sure what it is ), but IMO Biden is a typical politician that likes to spend other people's money, and has he ever had a real job? He seems to have been sucking the taxpayer teat for a very long time.

Harris is a "younger generation" and I hope for all our sakes she never gets to be POTUS. I know of lots of younger politicians I don't trust, mainly because they never had any real life experience and went straight into politics. I'd like a 3 term limit on ALL politicians, and 2 terms if over 4 years- one term for presidents and PMs. IMO politics shouldn't be a career choice.

Don't get that. The point was that Clinton co operated with the GOP and things went well, apparently. Co operation is more productive than non co operation.

Have you ever seen a dog do it lying on his back and the bitch on top?

If I could go back to before my op for prostate cancer knowing what I know now, I'd absolutely do that.

That's got to hurt.

No.

IMO not a pedant. However, to be pedantic, the title isn't about him, but about us.

Did you miss that she was his partner, which can mean wife?

If it was fractured, did they put it in a plaster cast? Sounds like something out of that Cameron Diaz movie, There's something about Mary.

Err, no.

Not to me it wasn't. I didn't know much about women for a long part of my life- boys boarding schools, military, little contact with women. A strange and rather frightening species till I started working with hundreds of nurses, which removed almost all my illusions about them.

Best answer so far. If it's not involving the OP, stay out of it.

The best advice I ever got about women was from a female colleague, who told me that just because they were beautiful, it didn't mean they were good people.

Perhaps I was lucky but I encountered almost no "broken" bar girls in all my years, and I met a lot in my time. A couple were unpleasant women, but not broken- just unpleasant. I think because I took my time and wasn't drunk when I chose my companion I escaped a lot of trouble. The only really broken bar girl I observed was a sad girl with multiple piercings.

I share a lot and I'm still here. Helps to put the nasties on ignore though.

I learned the hard way not to expect happiness and comfort from other people ( if I want unconditional love I'll get a dog ), so if I was to get involved with one again it'd be to my advantage, not hers. I'm not, nor am I interested in getting involved again, but as with that "not made by Broccoli Bond movie" with Connery, never say never again.
