• Absolutely. I think "Honesty is the best policy" is a bourgeois saying that doesn't take into account the laws of cause-and-effect

• Sometimes I am not always honest with my granddaughter when it comes to her paintings( they are not always good but I tell her they are beautiful ) but in adult situations I have to agree even if it hurts it's the right thing to do.

• Thank you. I didn't really come out completely sane though. When I was locked up I snapped and they put me on some extremely heavy psyche meds cause I was very dangerous. I'm still alittle messed up, but how can anyone completely recover from something like that?

• Yeah, I try, but it's really difficult to reach out to alot of people and people just don't seem to care. You'll say something to someone and the most you might get back is lip service. I just need to find people that can make a difference and care enough to help.

• In the past I kept running into all of these lawyers that kept telling me that I can't get justice because there's a Statute of Limitations. That's why I dislike lawyers so much. There is no Statute of Limitations if it is ongoing. I was falsely imprisoned (kidnapped really) and I have to live with that for the rest of my life. I should have $25,000,000 in a bank account somewhere for all that I've been through. When I was locked up, the State Officials also violated my Civil Rights on a regular basis too.

• You deserve every cent for what you've been through, but like you said, it will probably never happen because of all the corruption in our government.

  • Report
  

  by Benny on February 18th, 2009

• Depends. Supposedly there are some money hungry lawyers out there that are semismart and, believe it or not, semipatriotic. Maybe one of those will come hollering at my door someday? But then again, with the rest of our government being as corrupt as it is, you can't hope for much.

  • Report
  

  by Mr. Sex ~ The Original Mr. Knowitall on February 19th, 2009

• True. I'm not very fond of lawyers myself. In my line of business, the courts always take the side of the plaintiff and your lawyer often contributes to their defense by saying things that he shouldn't be saying, then you have to pay him more money just to get you out of the mess that he put you in!

  Sorry I missed this yesterday:( Went to bed early...old people need their sleep...hahaha:)
  I am sooo happy you are making friends. It took me months!!
  What I did in the beginning was when someone answered my question or left a comment I would always say thanks and take it a little further by saying have a great day or something like thatOR if you read someone else's answer I would say something like..."Good answer", and elaborate a little on why you thought it was good, or if you like their picture or avatar give a quick..."nice avatar".
  If you go around and check out others answers and leave comments....lots and lots of comments:)...your name will be remembered. Having a sense of humor will be a bonus. No one minds it if you see a thread where others are just having fun or a debate and you want to join in. Don't you worry about the mistakes at all...I could write a book on mine:) Have a great day Redman and hope to see you later!!!!
