OWNING PROPERTY

Explain this to me? If I was married the risk for the banks is less than right now since I'm single. I would still be working, I would still have MY income (doesn't matter if spouse is working or not still less risk), and I would still pay my bills on time. How is that fair? Yes yes I know life is not fair and its not a circus either but still we should work at being fair don't you think? If it was only my income either way (married or single) then how is it less of a risk if I was married? My spouse would not have a job so that is equal to NO MONEY and I still would have the same job so that means THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY. I guess what the world is saying is that as a married person I would not be prone to taking off for the unknown at a moments notice and leave an unpaid mortgage ( yeah right) of course I guess all those people that skip out on bills that are married have a corrupted single gene that didn't change over once they said I DO. Yeah that must be it. Once you have some person said vows to you and you repeat them your habits for spending and saving automatically change into something wonderful unless your get the single disease corrupt DNA and that makes all the married people crazy. It couldn't possible be them. Well I am not going to get married just so I can save money on a home loan and I am still proud to say TABLE FOR ONE!

ANTI-SOCIAL?

I heard a phase today that I had never, DID I SAY NEVER, associated to being single. The phrase was anti-social described as someone happy being single that is getting over a bad break up. Yeah that is not what I consider anti-social. The correct definition of anti- social ASPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as "...a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood."[1] Deceit and manipulation are considered essential features of the disorder.

I do not know of anyone that would say just because a person is single (single is not a disease we have been over this) they are manipulative,deceitful,or anything else as defined here. People who are ANTI-SOCIAL are anti social married, single, gay, straight, or even if they are purple. It has nothing to do with being single. We need to stop as a society punishing people that do not have partners and let people be happy. We need to stop making everyone feel like they are not important if they are single. Everyone needs to stop thinking single equals mental problems, HELLO I'm just picky! and I would guess so are alot of other people. Remember to love the people close to you, tell them often, and to stop with the "nice" name calling just because a person is single.

Oh by the way, I heard someone say this about themselves which is very depressing for 2 reasons. First reason is that people need to read more and KNOW what they are talking about and the second is that someone would equate anti-social with HAPPY.

RESPONSIBILITY

OK one thing that will cheese me off more than just about anything else is someone not taking responsibility for kids or animals. This effects everyone. Single, not single, married, widowed, and so on. Today I saw 2 dogs roaming at a gas station and then having to cross a busy street where they went to the house they live at. These dogs were friendly, well groomed, and looked well fed but the danger to them is real. They could have been hit by a car anywhere along the way or people can be mean and someone could have done something to one of them. It is the owners responsibility to have a fenced yard and not to let their dogs roam the streets or to have unwanted puppies that they just throw out. I am not saying a dog can not escape from a yard (its happened to me) but to just throw your dog outside and say fend for yourself is WRONG. When a person gets a dog, they are taking responsibility for the health and well being of that dog. Dogs just want to give love and friendship. If a person doesn't want to return this then DON'T GET A DOG. Dogs don't always stay tiny and cuddly. They grow, chew, poop where they are not supposed to, and can get into trouble but that makes them dogs. The best thing to do is take them to obedience class and the vet after that everything is easy. If you can afford a dog DON'T GET ONE. Dogs are not something that can be put in a closet until you want them to play that day, they are creatures that can get bored, hungry, sick, and give all the love in their hearts. So please take responsibility for your animals and help strays where you can. I was going to take them to my vet until I saw that they went home but if I see those dogs again I'm going to report the owners and turn them over to my vet so she can find a home that will love and care for them.
