Standing By Your Sex-Hobbyist -Man; Because It's Your Fault Too?

Image
Eliot, I accept your apology. I won't forget your behavior and hypocrisy but I am starting to forgive because of the stand-up way you've handled everything Because you did something very few men who get caught do. YOU OWNED YOUR BEHAVIOR. You didn't deny or act like it didn't happen. You didn't project that you were targetted and harrassed. You didn't put it all out there because of your family, that's understandable - but you admitted you did something wrong and you showed a lot of class in resigning.

I have no intention of forgiving the unforgivable but I do feel pity for them and hope that Hashem is giving them the healing and help they need now that they're in His care. However, that upbringing made me a magnet for people with personality disorders. I didn't know ...

UNDER PRESSURE For some reason reading this article in Haaretz reminded me of those inane commercials (and net-spam) asking men "are you losing your edge in the bedroom" or "did you know as you age you lose testosterone?" of course followed up with the pitch for some testosterone boosting pill, cream or food replacement. Those commercials sprang to mind when I read the statement coming out of PM Olmert's office. Maybe he found some product that worked? FINALLY? Security cabinet rejects Gaza truce, opts to keep pressure on Hamas By Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent, The security cabinet decided at a meeting Wednesday to reject a cease-fire with Hamas over the violence in the Gaza Strip, and that the Israel Defense Forces should continue with its ongoing policy of military action against the Palestinian militant groups. Noting a "relative decrease in Qassam rocket launchings," the cabinet decided to continue "attacks and military pressure on terro...
