But does someone deserve to die over this?

Even if they were teasing the tiger he should be in an area that is escape proof. I am not saying it is okay to tease animals, but these were young ignorant boys. Even Michael Vick is not getiting the death penalty.

I don't think stars deserve it...sm for why..
I think stars overly compensated, bragged on, pampered, etc...and for what? giving us reasons to sit on our butts and become lazy and unhealthy? They have so much money and yet, at these functions, they're loaded with tons of free, very expensive gifts! The people who deserve big functions for recognition are the real-life heroes like cops, firefighters, the military, doctors, nurses, etc....THEY deserve the awards, the gifts, the glory, but most of them would just like to be recognized for all that they do and thanked by people.

Hmm...And Homeless People Deserve What They Got?
What a crock. She just asked for some advice.

Glad you had a good time. You deserve

Good grief, they deserve a safe sm
plce to live! They are not going to remember the big house, etc when they are grown. They WILL remember the abuse you subjected them to and did not get out.

So what you are saying is we've reached our limit? That we don't deserve any more kindness?

That's how you operate in life? You just deem people unworthy of your time, your kindness?

You know, curious girl, isn't asking you for money or a place to live or anything except for a few kind words on a freaking screen!!! How difficult is that?!!?!?! You act like she's knocking on your blasted door and begging you to help her. She's not asking you to do anything but LISTEN!!

My God! You people are incredibly callus. I feel sorry for you.

Why stay if there's no love there?!! You deserve a much nicer life partner, girl.

Rude people deserve a rude response-but an idea (sm)
I am very kind-hearted, and even a sucker at times but when someone is very rude and disgusting, I have no problem telling them to go away. If she doesn't want to completely cut this woman out of her life, she needs to say something like, "I have decided that I am only going to be able to have you come over on Wednesdays." She can make up an excuse like, "I am not getting enough time to myself" "I haven't had time for my other friends" or just act like she feels like she desperately needs a regular schedule, so "Wednesday is your day." See ya next week! If she shows up on a day that is not her day she can say, "Suzie Q, your day is Wednsday - I'm sorry, but I am really determined to stick to my schedule"
