Question by Gillaume: I just found out my girlfriend of 3 years just started working for a “topless maid service” website.?
I’m not going to post the name of the website but she’s on their profile of “maids” using a pseudonym.

I was so infuriated that I left her last night and threatened to tell her family and everyone we know. Also, I found out that she’s back to doing and abusing prescription drugs, which ended almost a yearlong sobriety for her.

Please help me. I feel betrayed. I’m angered. I’m hurt. I’m confused. I’m going crazy in my mind her. She has ignored all of my plead for her to stop what she’s doing and get help. And I’m pretty sure that this “topless maid-cleaning” website is just a front for prostitution/escort service.    Read more...

Question by Brittany H: drugs legalization?
when it comes to the topic of legalizing/decriminalizing marijuana, there is one phrase that seems to be thrown around alot by politicians, law enforcement, and policy makers and that phrase is “we would be sending the wrong message to the kids”. well what i want to know is that if they are so concerend with not sending the wrong message then why are they only crusading against marijuana? in every above the influence commercial/ advertisement of any kind they are always demonizing marijuana and trying to convince kids that smoking pot will ruin your life (when really its the rediculous penalties surrounding the use of the substance that will ruin your life), but the one thing im not seeing is crusading against drugs that actually cause problems and ruin lives. people all across the country abuse perscription painkillers but no one is owning up to the fact that they are actually a huge problem for our society. no one wants to believe that these LEGAL pills that were PERSCRIBED by a DOCTOR are habit forming and dangerous. i just feel that these people should stop wasting tax payers money trying to get kids to stop smoking pot and use that time, energy, and money to honestly educate people on the dangers of drugs that will ACTUALLY hurt you.
it makes no sense to me
