[quote]Yes, because the world is just so full of sociopaths [/quote]
You're right about this one. Sociopaths in all their varying degrees are every where. They say that 2% of the tested population is a sociopath. Who knows how many are in the untested population? They, for the most part, get along just fine with everyone, except the ones they're supposed to love the most who can see them for who they really are. And, IMO, those who post anonymously in forums like these. Some of these people need to take a good hard look in the mirror.

[quote]Finz, Try a little bit of truth. MANY people, ALL Women, try to get an RO against their spouse so they can get ahead in the divorce war. Just a little correction for you. [/quote]
Not all do, but a lot do. I posted the other day what the stats were in my county. But it's a lot. And it's usually done by her lawyer. You can't tell me there are THAT many violent miscreants running around. Especially where I live.
The thing is they really need to be reserved for real needs, instead of using them as a legal tactic and clogging the courts. There are many on this board I agree who need them (women or men) nut more often than not, it's not nesessary. My county is funny though. The largest percentage of legal action here is divorce (with or without OP's) and it's big industry. DUI's are second and actual criminal activity is a far 3rd. One county over, the stats are exactly the opposite. Again, an OP should never be issued unless their is actually physical signs. And again, false ones require a jail sentence because unless it's expunged, it there is any background check. The acuser should be required to have visited an ER and the medical records furnished to the courts.

I dunno. Road rage seems to be getting worse and worse each day. More fights break out these days. Its like society is headed for a major meltdown.

Hmmmm, sounds just like where I live in Manchester, England!!
Kids with knives and bad attitudes, lack of education and serious socialising problems. These problems are usually passed down from the parents.
Having said that, I get "road rage" myself at times, but would never go as far as hurting someone for cutting me up!

Now there's the typo of the century. I think I would definately hurt someone for "cutting me up". Now "cutting me off"...that's another matter. Hehe

When my aunt first moved to Chicago, she was telling me that she had to turn her diamond ring into her palm so the diamond didn't show or someone would cut your finger off just to get it.

Ha, it was a naff choice of phrase wasn't it!!
Found out that my ex has pleaded guilty in court to both charges brought against him. We weren't sure if he would admit to the second charge as he originally said he couldn't remember doing "it".
He's back for sentencing in July, been getting stick from his eldest son (my stepson) who wants me to drop charges so his dad doesn't "go to prison".
I don't want him to go to prison, he's actually a normal & decent guy who "lost it" one night. Doesn't excuse what he did absolutely no way, but I just want it over with & for my son to see his dad every week like he should do.
Don't get me wrong, he could be an ass at times, and looking back he was quite controlling, but he doesn't deserve prison, really.
