i cheated on her and tell her about it 8 months ago. then i stoped cheating. we wer ok but then, that 8 months she was always insisting for us to be officially commited again but then, i always turn her down but deep inside me i wanted it too but im not sure and wanted that i want to focus on my life, be single and stay as we are- friends and lovers. But, one day i decided and made up my mind that i want this! i want her back into my life again but when i asked her, She dont want us any more,only but friends, but our sweetness with each other have never gone. One day i found out the reason why she didnt want it anymore, a guy has been courting her. My world came crushing down. i asked her for a chance and she balanced who wil she chose between us, but then i become paranoid all the time and make hold her on whatever she does. But she told me she cant resist the new guy. Then she decided to choose the guy. Now, its been two months that they have their relationship. Is there a way?

When my son died of a drug overdose, his mom would not contribute to the cost of his funeral arrangments, even though she makes much more money than me. My family and friends, who the X loathes, gave 14,000.00 to bury Camron...his mom, brother, and her family contributed zero...I feel like sueing her to make her pay half of the cost, giveing 2500. back to my elderly parents, 3500. back to a personal friend, and 1000. back to the employers my son and I were working for when he died...are their any laws in the USA about whose responsibility it is to pay for the funeral of a family member, when the parents are divorced and the child is grown? Please help me work thru this....

when someone writes why do men cheat, its always some writing back talking about women do it to. geez i am so sick of that sh.t if anyone would use a hair on their fking brain they would know majority of the time if a woman cheats its because those jackas. that we call men drove us to it. men are full of it and women need to stop making excuses for them someone even said one time that its a new generation thats why. well thats no excuse to be a jackas. cause men were more respectful a long time ago. and dont say i have a problem cause i see this sht happen everyday. men cheat way more than women. i see it happened to all my friends, family, neighbors , classmates , strangers, etc. and all i hear is" he cheated on me". its even happened to me and my daughters. i dont care and i mean i dont care men are terrible and disrespectful. just look at some of the stuff they put in yahoo answers. and anyone who wants to get smart go ahead and knock yourself out. lol

Pornography: A Public Health Crisis
By Mercedes W. Gutierrez *

A recent article in the Denver Post warned that the infusion of pornography into mainstream culture has reached “epidemic” proportions, to the point of being classified as a “public-health crisis.” James Weaver, a professor at George Mason University in Virginia conducted research on pornography and its effects in the 1980s. He concluded, “we need to do with pornography what we did with smoking and drunk driving.” In years past, “we had the courage as a society to talk about smoking and responsible drinking, but we haven’t been able to get past our inhibitions about talking about pornography.”

He insists that we need to call pornography what it is: a distortion. And, as research confirms, this distortion is devastating our marriages, families and society as a whole.

For example, a 2002 survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers analyzed the impact of Internet use on marriages. It indicated that 56% of the divorce cases in the study involved one party’s obsessive interest in pornographic websites.

Along with destroying marriages, pornography is affecting children at younger ages today. Mary Anne Layden, co-director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program at the University of Pennsylvania, stated that the average age a child gets their first glimpse at pornography is now five years old.

No wonder Weaver is labeling pornography’s influx as “a public health crisis.”

Pornography, especially internet porn, wreaks havoc on society because it is easily accessible, anonymous, and addictive. Not only do pornographic pop-ups infiltrate cable channels and internet sites, but the ability to view the material in the privacy of your own home removes any shame associated with the act. Tragically, most viewers buy into the illusion that this pornographic fantasy world is merely entertainment. They have little understanding that this addiction is detrimental to their own physical, spiritual and emotional well-being.

The Catechism explains that pornography “does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public) since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others” (#2354). In other words, pornography separates the sexual act from the intimacy of spouses and places it on display for pleasure and profit. Pornography perverts and strips the conjugal act of its meaning. In addition, those involved in the act exploit themselves and those who view the material. Respect for the gift of sexuality diminishes along with the reverence owed to the dignity of the human person.

Again, pornography exploits for pleasure and profit. And, this pornographic mentality is infiltrating our daily print, radio, and televised media in ways we don’t even recognize. For instance, when perusing through fashion magazines, almost every advertisement exploits a certain feature of a woman. Most especially, ads for Victoria’s Secret over-sexualize women and use obvious pornographic poses to sell their products. Similarly, an increasing number of network television programs like Desperate Housewives or Sex in the City are known for their provocative portrayal of sex and sexuality.

This messaging is very dangerous, especially for women today. It not only objectifies the women in the ads or programs, but subconsciously convinces us that we must exploit or objectify ourselves.

As women, we need to be aware of these advertising ploys and guard our hearts and minds from objectification. In addition, we need to educate and safeguard our families against the addictive accessibility of pornography, which seeks to undermine the inherent dignity of the human person.

for example, you say "why do a lot of ____ do this?" and some nitwit comes along and says (usually in uppercase) "NOT ALL _____ DO THIS. STOP STEREOTYPING."

Do we all understand English here? "a lot of" is a far cry from "all"
