help me with my life please?
Q. okay I know this is alot... I am 15 years old turning 16 next week. In the past year I have moved exactly 11 times. From Jacksonville Texas to Norman, Oklahoma to Arlington, Tx and all throughout that the triangle those three citys make. My parents divorced and my dad dragged me threw it big time. After we moved back in the same house as him we left to Oklahoma. Then he was threatening to sell the house and they had the whole divorce thing going on and my mom thought it would be smart to move closer incase she needed to act. So after we moved in he got really mad put a restraining order on my mom and that forced us to move out into a small bathroom sized camper.

A. What do you have to lose by giving him another chance? You're only 16, so I don't think you have too much material posessions or time to give him, but if you can fix the relationship, it'd be a win-win solution. Ease in with the trust though. Just remember - once your dad, always your dad.

A. No one in the above article think that it's okay to hurt cats. No one here NOR all the other answers to your repeated same question said it is ok to hurt cats (or animals in general). This question is not a question at all but an article with request for a petition to write to PETA or Craig Caldwell. Please if you want to ask a question - ASK. Don't use it to propogate PETA's ideas.

A. People think it is okay to hurt animals in general because they are "just animals" which is absolute bullcrud. We need to raise the penalties for animal abuse, endangerment, and neglect. From the information provided, I do want to mention that I think the person that shot the cat and the owner of the cat should both be punished, because if the cat was inside, he would not have been in the position to be shot. The ASPCA is also working to increase penalties for animal related crimes, hopefully making these instances felanies.
