Do you believe in the death penalty for criminals that have been proven beyond doubt that they are guilty of heinous crimes? Also do you think it would it act as a deterrent or would it make little difference to the perpetrator? |

The bottom line, for me at any rate, is who are we to judge? If the people who commit these crimes were of sound mind they would not be in prison in the first place. Even the ones who are very intelligent if their ability to pass a moral judgment is warped then their behaviours will be out of sync with the rest of the population. The question is do we punish them and pander to the moral outrage, which on paper is the easy way out, or do we try and find ways to help the ones that can be helped, and how do we know which is which? If you asked the majority of people should we have the death penalty, most if they are being honest, would say yes only if we have an unambiguous test that could prove guilt, maybe a brain scan like fingerprint check that can't be mis-read. At the moment we have to use juries made up of people who care about other people and they are the ones who have to play God. Not the most efficient method hence why we are still talking about this subject with each new generation and why our jails are filling up so quickly. To answer your questions, yes is do and no it won't, because it can't. Regards Comments :  Thank-you for your views, it is a difficult one! The death penalty I feel would certainly make some think twice before they become violent but some I'm sure would be unaffected by it. The answer maybe is to lock them up for life and chuck away the key!

How can I encourage my grown daughter to move out of my home or pay rent? |
| Question found in People & Relationships In General |

With patience. If she is 29 a little less patience and a little more impatience, but if she is 19 then more patience will be required. You may need to gain a balance to be able to know how to play this situation fairly? There are a lot of ways you can play this, you can either be overly hard, overly soft, or my preference, cruel to be kind. If she feels down about herself, a lack of positive self image, then you need to give her something else to focus on. Even if she is going through a lazy phase she will still have something she is dependant on, and there is a good chance you are one of those things, you will either be expected to get it for her as usual or you will be the catalyst for one of her needs? Her washing, making dinner, giving her money for her nights out etc, etc, etc! You may have helped her get this lazy but it will have to be you that says enough, time to grow up.......... Sit down, on your own, and come up with a game plan. Jot down what her weaknesses are, what she needs you for. And in a fair way decide how you can wean her off them. The second stage is to know how she will react, so anticipate how she will try and get around you emotionally. She will pull all your strings because she knows your weaknesses as well. Let the games begin! LOL One last thought, are you doing this on your own? All melancholy has a history, or an event. If you wish to discuss this further then email me. I wish you both well |

I need prepare a RESUME in INTERNATIONAL FORMAT Can anyone tell me WHAT IS INTERNATIONAL FORMAT??? Does anyone have a link to some resource of a CV in international format??? |
| Question found in Jobs & Careers |
|
|
Let me guess, it isn't a company that has asked you to send your Resume/CV to them in this "format" but a company asking you to spend your money to make your Resume/CV appeal to an international market? If i am wrong then check this site out:http://www.jobera.com/job-resumes-cvs/international-resumes-cvs/international-cvs-resumes.htm If i am right then do the following: Concentrate on using phrases that tell them how you have achieved something positive and not your responsibilities. EG: "I improved staff morale by being upbeat but focused", instead of "In charge of twenty accounts", Etc........... List your most recent employer first and go backwards from there, regardless of how many companies keep to the last Ten years. Don't be afraid to "bend the truth" a little. EG. Instead of: "I was employed initially to make tea", use "I was initially employed to assist in all departments and gained useful skills" That foundation gives you scope to show commitment and the ability to learn new skills which would be to their benefit as well as yours. Use that theme in the rest of your CV. Make sure you highlight personal attributes, reword the information from the tag lines mentioned above. EG Quick learning, focused, Team player, target driven etc......... I hope that starts you off and good luck Comments : Thanks Very Much

I've been having an inward pain in my left thigh & between my shoulder blades, that I've been soothing with a heating pad. We just moved & now are drinking & bathing in well water, could this have anything to do with my pain? |
| Question found in Health & Fitness In General |

Do you sterilise it before drinking it cold. Has it been checked out by any govt agency to say its safe to drink? Are you the only person who is showing any ailments? What age groups also drink from the well? Use these questions as a start and see where they lead, you can always come back to me if I can help further. If you feel in any way unsure then get all of you checked by a Doctor and boil any water that is used for drinking and leave in the fridge to use the following day. If the well water is eliminated, and you are the only one with symptoms then it sounds like tension/stress. Regards |

My boyfriend has a 15 month old daughter, she is unable to sit up by her self, walk, talk or crawl, her mother says that it is because she was premature and had surgery on her intestines when she was first born, but this still seems unusual to me. Does anyone else think that there may something else wrong with her and if so what may it be? |
| Question found in Parenting & Family In General |

There could be two types of reasons, one is medical and the other is lazy parenting. I suspect that you may have your own ideas as to which camp your thoughts may fit and you maybe able to eliminate a lot of the obvious possibilities as you see her more often. The fact that your questioning the Mothers medical reason may mean that your instincts are telling you that something may not be adding up? I would expect to see a lot more interaction at 15 months regardless of if a baby is premature or had it's intestines removed. A dead give away would be what she eats as she should be weaned by now, if she had no intestines then she may still require baby food etc. My philosophy has always been, ask any question you like however tough it may make you look just show respect and sincerity. You have concerns so start asking questions, leave the rest to your instincts which seem on the ball if you ask me. Kind regards |

My 2 yr old grand daughter is always crying and throwing fits if she doesn't get her way. I've seen her cry so hard that she would actually throw up. Her mother gives in and then she calms down. Is she spoiled? |
| Question found in Parenting & Family In General |

Hello there, You are in a very tough situation, emotions and common sense seldom are bed partners. Your Granddaughter needs to have some limits set and for her to grow and develop normally they have to come from her parents. You need to sit her parent/s down and let them know what you think if they can't or won't see reason then you may have to limit the time you spend with your grand daughter until things start to improve. Do you baby sit to help out on a regular basis as any bargaining chip may help you help them see reason? Keep your chin up and don't let it get you down, treat your grand daughter as you think she should be treated and see what happens. You may find that she will warm to you more and that will help her.

I am having problems in my relationship with expressing my feelings and communicating. I do not know where to start. I do not know what I want for myself and life. |
| Question found in People & Relationships In General |
|
|
Although understandable remaining unfocused on what you want for yourself and your life may cause issues in any relationship because it may make you seem indifferent. If you can't decide what you want to do then at least decide on what you don't. Then think about why you can't work out what you want to do. If your are young and working then consider changing jobs. You might find that inspiring? If you are in a long term relationship then what does your partner want to do, what dreams do they have? Make sure that you are eating healthily, take supplements if necessary, especially if it is winter where you are. If that all fails then just wait for the cloud to move over your life and it will just be patient. |

How do I try and mend this break up before I finish packing all my belongings? |
| Question found in People & Relationships In General |
|
|
By you both sitting down and having 5 minutes uninterrupted explaining how you both feel and what you both want. If after that you still have things in common and ways that you both can compromise then see what you have both agreed through and if after two weeks it is still working then unpack your bags and give each other a big hug! The second option is for one of you to find a sofa to sleep on for a few days to give each of you some space to think things through without the pressure of the relationship and then do the above. Whatever method you choose resist the easy option which is to just throw in the towel and give up. keep things non personal also helps. If I can help further then contact me, either way I wish you both all the best. Regards :) |

My husband is very controlling and I don't know how to deal with it. For instance the other day we were taking a family picture and my husband got mad at me because I styled my hair in a way that he didn't like it. In the midst of the argument I told him that I would have changed it but I didn't have the time. He said I should have bought my hair stuff in the car and changed it to the way he wanted it. He was also upset because I wore makeup. We have been having this makeup argument for the past six months. When he met me I wore make up and colored my hair now he wants me to stop all together. I feel I don't have to because he should accept me for how I am. I wear it because I like it. It helps me feel feminine like all the little things women do for themselves. He feels I need to stop all of it. He gets mad if I tweeze my eyebrows if I color my hair or do any maintenance to myself. He feels like I am being a bad example for our six month old daughter because if she sees mommy wearing makeup she will want to wear it too and then that will turn her into a ####. Yes I know this is stupid but this is how he feels. I have tried to compromise and it doesn't work he just keeps taking from me and taking from me. If this persist I am going to begin to hate myself because I am turning into someone I don't know. What do I do.... |

I get the feeling that there is a bigger picture here and this may not be about you directly. I suggest exploring this possibility by getting him to open up and offer unintentional clues about what the problem is. He may have let some freudiant comments slip through already so you may have to cast your mind back and think about things that he may have said that may have seemed unconnected or ambiguous at the time. The bottom line is that you are not doing anything wrong, just being your sexy self so where does his signs of guilt come from? Happy hunting and don't let his behaviour have a negative affect on yours. :) Regards |
