I Want Him to Dump His Female Friends -- Is That Reasonable? {Lemondrop}

May 4th 2010 3:43AM I had a BF years ago who wanted me to get rid of all my male friends, and I distanced myself because he asked me to. Which was a mistake, because it is your other gender friends who spot the BS from your significant other. Years later (after the abusive twit and I split up) I found out that all my friends had spotted warning signs that I-lovestruck-missed. The jealousy, the controlling behavior, etc led up to him being severely abusive. But by then I had no friends left (after the male ones went, he found something wrong with each and every one of my female friends and I was told to get rid of them too) to support me in leaving his sorry butt. That, of course, was his plan all along. If anyone want s you to get rid of really platonic (meaning you are not into each other) friends it is about control, and control leads to abuse.

If you need to control your significant other's friends based on gender, class, ethnicity, people you dont like, whatever there is a reason. Maybe insecurity but maybe not. Perhaps that need for control is related to your need to 'own' the other person. And that sort of thinking goes to violence really fast.

Girl Posts Racy Pics, Charged With Child Porn {Lemondrop}

Apr 10th 2009 4:58AM Following the authorities logic on this one: if she sent pictures of herself and that is child porn, then if the girl masturbates she is guilty of child rape. This is a case of adults wanting to punish a teen girl for being sexual.

Notice that the charges we have heard about lately are all regarding pictures of girls. I have a teen boy and his friends send pics of their genitals all the time to each other, and have even been caught at school. No one would ever put up with this sort of charges being filed.

Autistic child kicked off flight {Gadling}

Jun 26th 2008 4:10AM The airline is NOT required legally or under the terms of your ticket to provide you with anything but a trip between your departure and destination IF it is safe for them to do so.

You are paying for transport not a reasonably quiet or peaceful environment. If peace and quiet are what you want...go to a spa or a cabin in the woods. I am not sure why people think air travel is supposed to be fun, easy, or restful. I have never experienced a flight that was any of those things. To expect a quiet or peaceful flight is really, really stupid and unrealistic.

I fly commercial on a regular basis for my job as an ABA therapist; there will be sick people and loud children, there will be people with BO and adults who try to talk when I want to sleep, and there will be people with disabilities (physical, emotional, developmental, whatever) who need accomodations.

To all of you pathetic, self centered, self focused, arrogant complainers: GROW UP AND DEAL WITH IT!

Until there are child free flights or you can afford to charter, if you cannot listen to a crying child for the length of a flight DONT GET ON THE PLANE.

That being said...this not the first time I have heard about American as a problem airline for children (or adults) with autism. They have a rep for being awful to people with special needs.

I flew from La Guardia to LAX and they yelled at a person using a wheel chair for not transferring into the plane seat fast enough. They then redid the seating chart and announced it was because there was a "handicapped individual" who had taken someones seat!

The new seating chart put me next to an adult with autism flying alone and the flight attendent loudly told me he was retarded right in front of him. He wasn't-we had a great conversation about oil prices and the economic viability of drilling in Alaska. The Flight Attendent was rude to him while being polite to me, yelled at him, touched him without permission, AND pulled on his seatbelt multiple times. He was quite upset and she got a piece of my mind about her behavior (she was not so nice to me after that).

TO EVERYONE WHO SUGGESTED MEDICATION, "DISCIPLINE", or anything else whether you have kids, kids with autism, or not: People with autism are not all alike. Medications, therapy programs, distractions, rehearsal, etc that work for one person does not neccesarily work for many, most, or any other person with autism. Benadryl is not an approved sedative for people with autism nor is it neccesarily legal to administer it as such to a minor or a dependent adult (depends on the state, who is giving the drug, whether a physician recommended it, custody rules, the Child Abuse rules for that state, etc).
