"One reason one should use courtship and know the person you are dating."
Yet do you really know the person? I thought I did. She freaked when she did an internet search on my name, one of the hits was a person with a similar name, save for the middle name:
Prominent member of Aryan Nation.
Bomb builder.
Child molester/child pornographer.
Ties to Timothy McVeigh.
(and the person with the above attributes is doing hard time in a federal prison).
In her mind, I was him, despite any facts.
4 gallons of water in the gas tank of my truck.
Calls to my employer.
Major gossiping.
Lawyers.
I have avoided dating for 7 years because of that incident.
They were the most dysfunctional, screwed-up women that I have ever encountered in my life.
I would like to take this opportunity to declare very publicly that I am not a psychology major. (But I'll bet I could play one on TV. :-D )
terrible news.
..Just make sure they aren't liberals / N.A.G.S. ..btw, I'll vote for that ticket! :^)
Questions to Ask a Potential Therapist:
* Are they licensed?
* Are they members of any professional organizations?
* What is their background?
* Where were they educated?
* Do they accept your insurance?
* How much will therapy cost you?
* What treatment methods do they use?
* What can you expect from therapy?The key questions to ask are to yourself:
* Do I feel comfortable talking to this person?
* Will I be able to be completely honest with this person?
And back to the subject matter of the thread, here's something related. I haven't read it, but the title sure looks interesting!
Warning Signs That You're Dating a Loser (opens in new window)
Both the cops and the prosecutor here are slime.
That title looks interesting also! Thanks. I'll check it out.

I can definitely relate. I dated a therapist who was borderline crazy. Lots of major issues.
I hate to tell you, but social services are staffed by a lot of loonies. When they work for Child Protective Services, they lie like rugs to take children away from their families on "abuse" charges which may be no more serious than a complaint that the child was forced to do homework when he didn't feel like it.
Wrong! Their purpose is law enforcement, not accounting. Truth and justice matter. Batting averages don't.
That don't help. A few victims were probably doing just that.
There was a middle aged father from WI charged and convicted in DuPage County, IL for raping a teenager. The man was married with several kids. The man was down there on business and at the time of the rape, he was at a business dinner, in a restaurant with no fewer than 3 independant business clients, or customers. They and the restaurant staff corroborated that. Yet, they prosecuted him and the stupid jury convicted him.
Lost his family. He was released 5-7 years later with DNA testimony. By the time he got out his kids were grown.
You left out democrats.
She was mental sicko, and yet she was in charge of giving therapy to others. There is something wrong with this picture! How did dhe get licensed? Why didn't any state governing body catch this woman's nuttiness? Didn't she have to take an MMPI test or something else that might have alerted authorities to her problems? Can you imagine her counseling your kids?
This is not what I needed right now! I'm going out on a first date tonight.
You're lucky. In Chicago they use the phone book. Some guy with the same first and last name of the head of the 7-11 member Nazi Party got his house blown up one Sat. AM some decades ago.
There is a great way to simplify/rationalize the traditional legal system. And it was invented by the same people who invented elegant metric system and the idea of the constitution - by the French.
The French or so called continental law which is based on the codexes is being used in almost all countries - primary exceptions being Anglosaxon countries (UK, US, Canada etc ...) which keep tribal common law patched over the centuries and some Muslim countries which use Sharia.
How about this - how about getting the laws back to the intent of the Founders, rather than going off on a frankly bizarre French tangent as you suggest.
Ivan
bump.
I am sure that the Founders would LOVE to introduce the French codex system same way as they did with the French idea of constitution. But the codex system spread in XIX century - too late for them.
I do not think that adding another patch to the ancient law derived from the tribal and feudal times will do much good.
Think kilograms and meters, not the pounds and inches, man!
