Hi there. This question is for my mother. A few days ago she posted a question under myself asking for help with a problem adoption. I could NOT beleive the responses she got & how so many viewed her negatively.

My parents adopted a young boy a few years ago. We all accepted this beautiful little red-headed child as part of our family. My parents spoiled him... He was in trouble in school a bit nothing major. One day my mom and dads world fell apart. They received a call from my cousin saying my brother molested her son and he finally talked to her about this. At this moment my brother was at boy scout camp. He was sent away immediatly. Only to tell counsolers he moslested 11 other victims while living at my parents home. One was my 2 month old son.

They tried to have the adoption over turned with no success. It looks like they stand to lose everything they own. There are $150,000+ costs aleady for care. His sexual issues were never addressed to them before the adoption. Help?!

.... think there is NO Universal Purpose or Meaning behind any of this?

Either way, the whole Purpose/Meaning argument appears to be cyclical and humanistic, not to mention paradoxically "New Agey and Mind-Over-Matter-ish", unless there is an unending memory of it all preserved "somewhere" (figuratively speaking) in the very potential of The Universe Itself that is somehow fundamental to the core workings and physical mechanics of Its existence. …Otherwise, LIFE - self-conscious or otherwise - is ultimately nothing but a Meaningless Universal/Organic Exercise.

Thanks for your comments.

P.S. NO, I am NOT religious, nor was this question asked from a religious point of view. I AM MERELY ASKING: WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE UNIVERSE, IF ANYTHING AT ALL?

He uttered not one word about starting a new religion. He called for the Jewish elders to reform their practices and to put the needs of the people before their own. But he remained a Jew in every respect.

Can we substitute the word "terrorist" for "communist" and "witch" from previous eras? Is it a different concept altogether?

I don't profess a view on this matter. But I'm interested in yours.

Don't get me wrong. I like affection. But I kinda relate it to this: I'm like a cat..I want attention when *I* want it, not when you want to give it to me, and when I want it, I want it right then and there. Otherwise, leave me alone.
My g/f on the otherhand loves to show affection..a LOT. She says she will even do it if it annoys me, because she'd rather show me she loves and me and have me know it, but be annoyed, than have her NOT show it to me, and me feel neglected. I guess she has a point, but how do I get her to calm down a little?

Romney campaign took a huge hit when it’s national finance committee co-chairman, Alan B. Fabian was charged in a 23 count indictment, including charges of money laundering, mail fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. It’s reported Fabian, a former Bush Pioneer, allegedly ran a scheme that netted him millions of dollars which were used to purchase beach front property and travel. The Romney campaign said they would return Fabian’s $2,300 campaign donation, but not funds donated by others through him. Fabian stepped down from Romney’s campaign shortly after his August 9th indictment

Why were Republicans so fast to kick Congressman Craig to the curb? Is this what they call loyalty? After all, it was only a misdemeanor. Or is it because they really don't like pillow biters?

First, do you believe that life has a hidden/obvious meaning that is the same for all people ~

~ or do you believe that life has no default meaning and you have to make one yourself?

Either way, does it bother you that, realistically speaking, life really has no meaning?

Hey guys I have this best frind of mine in college. We are like the best of buds. Well lately I have been noticing her getting increasingly jealous when I hang out with other girls. I asked her what the problem is and she said there isn't one. I mean she already has a bf (long distance) so I just dont understand why she wants all this attention from me alone. Are most women like this? Can someone please explain to me why this girl is jealous?

My 17 yr old. son broke up with his ex-gf of 1 1/2 yrs, and has been seeing somebody else for the past cpl. months now. While going through my PC, I found "vaginal" pics. When I traced the souce, it took me to the ex's cell phone number. Apparentely, she took the pics with her camera phone and sent them to him earlier this month.
I know she's having a hard time letting go, and, he's swore to me that they never had sex. I want them both to be aware of my knowledge of this and let them know that this is NOT acceptible behavior of a young lady and a young man and that she just needs to move on.
Parents, any suggestions??

The tables were very close together and the people on the next table not only waved their cutlery about (surprised they knew what it was for), but talked while shovelling vast quantities of food into their mouths. Then they removed bits and but them back on the plate and discussed, at length, at the top of their voices, what these 'bits' might be! Yuk, we had to go, couldn't enjoy our meal with them next to us!
