My Question of the Day: How do you feel and/or what do you think when you see a mother breastfeeding her baby in a public place?

My 2 Cents: I asked a very similar question on 11 May 2010.

See My Question of the Day for 11 May 2010 for my two cents and previous comments. You may have commented then, too, so see if your perspective/point of view/opinion has changed since you last answered.

My Question of the Day for 21 October 2010 – UPDATED

-

My Question of the Day: Two of your very best friends marry each other, and they spend several years together. Although you’ve known one friend longer than you’ve known the other, at this point you’re very close to them both fairly equally. One day, they tell you they’re getting divorced. As a very good friend to both individuals, how do you handle your friendship with each of them?

Also, check out The Harder Question for 21 October 2010 that puts a twist on this particular question.

My 2 Cents: This happened to me, actually, but I wasn’t as close to the husband, as I’d grown to the wife, as time went on. He was a cheat and a liar, and I’d lost all respect for him by the time my friends decided to divorce.

It’s not hard to decide what to do in a case like that. Of course, I maintained my friendship with the wife, and I’m still friendly with the husband, but I don’t think very highly of him at all.

If, however, all things had been equal, and there were no integrity issues on the table, I’d maintain a relationship with each separately, especially if I called them both friends before they were married.

My Question of the Day for 20 October 2010 – UPDATED

My Question of the Day: When Stanley’s girlfriend, Trudy, told him she was pregnant and needed $750 for an abortion, he tried everything he knew to convince her to have the baby, even getting his mother to call and assure Trudy that she would have plenty of help and support from Stanley’s side of the family. Trudy was adamant about terminating the pregnancy, so Stanley finally agreed to give her the money for the procedure. Stanley, although against the whole idea, told Trudy he would go with her, but she told Stanley her sister was going to go with her, explaining to Stanley that she didn’t feel comfortable having him there since he was so against the whole idea.

On the day Trudy is to have the abortion, Stanley finds himself totally depressed and unwilling to get out of bed. His best friend, Mike, comes over and physically pulls Stanley out of the bed and out of the house. They go to the mall just to walk and talk and window shop, and Stanley sees Trudy and her sister. Stanley pulls out his cellphone, puts it in video mode and he asks Mike to do the same with his phone, just in case one of the phones malfunctions. From different vantage points, both men, while keeping at a distance, record the women. Trudy pulls out the envelope that Stanley gave her with the money she said she needed for an abortion and pays for some clothes. She does the same thing in three other stores, buying a purse, some shoes and some things for her sister. When the women are in the fifth store, Stanley walks in and confronts Trudy. He doesn’t say anything. He just makes sure she sees him and then he turns and walks away.

Trudy doesn’t hear from Stanley until about three weeks later when he shows up at her door. When she looks through the peephole and sees him, she braces herself for the interaction. When she opens the door, another man steps into view and Stanley says, “Trudy. Meet Victor. Victor. Meet Trudy.” A little confused, Trudy extends her hand to shake the other man’s hand. Victor raises his hand and slaps an envelope into Trudy’s hand and says, “Trudy Dennis. You’ve been served.” Both Stanley and Victor walk away, leaving Trudy holding the envelope in one hand and the doorknob in the other.

When Trudy reads the notice, she learns that Stanley is suing her in civil court for $50,000 for fraud and mental anguish. At almost the same time Trudy finishes reading the paperwork, she gets a text message from her sister: “Stanley had me served. Call me now!”

Do you think Stanley is taking things too far by suing Trudy for her deception?

My 2 Cents: In a word, no.

I’ve heard of women doing this to men, and it’s totally morally reprehensible.

Although I don’t know of any man who has sued a woman for lying about a pregnancy to get money, he would have my support 100% if he did.

My Question of the Day: Having a web presence nowadays is like being listed in the “yellow pages” of old. :grin: Can you think of any industry/type of business that doesn’t need a web presence in order to be successful in our current economy?

My 2 Cents: Convenience stores. :grin:

My Question of the Day for 18 October 2010

-

My Question of the Day: Children grow up extremely fast these days. Before they’re in high school, they’re talking about dating. Should teens be discouraged from dating one person exclusively?

My 2 Cents: Yes, teens should be discouraged from dating one person exclusively, because they need to experience different people with different personalities. It’s the exclusivity of dating one person that gives them the idea to “play house,” per se. They think they’re safe with this one person to explore their sexuality, and it’s hard to get them to understand that a guy/girl they “love” in high school probably won’t even be someone they would consider dating when they’re in their twenties or thirties, because they and the other person is going to change so much.

Teens should be encouraged to know who they are before they invest extensive amounts of time trying to get to know someone else who likely doesn’t know themselves, either.
