Wrong Place, Wrong Time

I known of three cases involving decent people who nearly went to jail for crimes they did not commit. You have to be careful who you associate with and let into your circle. In the first case, a young man in his early twenties was in a car with a group of friends. He was just hanging out with his friends as many people do. However, one of his friends, the one driving the car, didn't tell him he was going to make a stop at a post office to pick up something in the mail that he had illegally shipped to him. The government had already intercepted the illegal contents of the package (drugs) and was waiting for him to pick it up at the post office to lock him up. He and everyone in the car, including some of his friends who had done nothing wrong, were arrested. It set off a legal mess their parents had to spend legal fees to get them out of. 

Then there's another case of a young man whose friend called him up to go for a ride in his new car. He didn't bother to tell the young man the car was stolen. He picked him and other friends up for a ride in his new car. Police stopped them and ordered them out of the stolen car. Two ran and got away (for a time) including the boy who had stolen the car. However, two were caught. Both of them were innocent. Their parents had to pay legal fees to sort the mess out and free them.  

In a second case, a girl fell in love with a guy. While on a date with her on the beach, he decided to rob a tourist. The robbery went wrong, a struggle ensued and he ended up killing the tourist. He was arrested and so was his innocent girlfriend, who was freaked out and in shock by what he had just done. Though she had nothing to do with the crime, the police arrested him and his girlfriend as well, which is standard in serious cases to ensure no one gets away. Her parent had to get a lawyer to get her out of legal charges, to prove she had done nothing wrong. She was later freed. 

These situations can happen to anyone. Be careful of getting into situations that are seemingly innocent, but can bring you harm and disrepute, for things you have not done. It's not always easy to tell as some situations seem innocuous on the surface, nonetheless, be careful. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time has gotten many innocent people into trouble. There are people currently in jail affirming they are innocent of the crimes they were incarcerated for, but no one will listen. However, if you are locked up for a crime you did not commit, do not give up on having your conviction overturned. DNA and later discredited witnesses have been successfully cited in cases freeing innocent people. 

Should You Do A Background Check On The Person You're Dating

Sometimes men and women rush into relationships and make big commitments, not truly knowing who the other is as a person. Many people have been devastated by terrible surprises about their significant other. While we all make mistakes, some more than others, it's only fair that each person should know who they are dating. 

In light of this fact, is it wise to do a background check on the person you date. Many sites offer a full civil and criminal background check as well as a financial profile and history for a small fee. You need to know if you are dating someone who has made a few mistakes, but is getting there life on track or the detrimental opposite, an out and out con artist and hardened criminal who has not intention of changing for the better.

What It Means When A Man Doesn't Claim His Girlfriend Online

Saw this pic on Twitter...

Netiquette dictates a lot of things, such as you don't flirt with someone who is already in the relationship, via tweets on Twitter, posts on Instagram or Facebook. People get angry when others like and compliment their significant other online, which is understandable in most case. However, in some cases it is plain ludicrous and ridiculous - such as men who hide the fact they have someone and or are living in sin with someone.

Then the woman gets angry at other chicks online wrongly thinking the individual is single and trying to pursue a relationship with them. They start demanding answers as to why other women keep tweeting him. Demanding he delete certain tweets. Noting the page of the attractive women that showed him any attention and repeatedly checking their social networking pages. In some cases the hidden girlfriend (make that plural as in "girlfriends") will register online just to tell off and get back at an unsuspecting woman for simply publicly speaking to the man online.

First of all, if a man won't claim you online (especially without being forced), it's because he's embarrassed, thinks he can do better than you and or is cheating. Even if you are living in sin with him, it doesn't mean it's love. Some women finagle their way into a man's place, determined to move in trying to mark territory, but have no real place in his heart, not realizing they are living with him as on premises sex and nothing more. There out of convenience. 

At the end of the day, people need to be honest with themselves and those in their lives. Don't play games with people, because it is not how you would want to be treated in life.

Why Like Someone You Didn’t Before They Became Famous

 

When people become famous, sometimes there are folks, who didn’t like or care for them before, who all of a sudden do. It’s very insincere. Sadly, women are one of the worst culprits in this regard, but there are some men who are guilty of this as well, regarding the opposite sex.

I don't understand. If you didn’t like a person before they were famous, why like them after and start chasing them down. I'm not trying to be mean, but it has a superficial look to it. Who could feel good about that kind of attention. Money and fame shouldn’t change one’s opinion of a person. It has the appearance that you want something and not so much the person.

Furthermore, someone with that fickle view will not be there for you in the event your fame and money disappears. Learn to read people. Not everyone is true. Some will try to get close to you for money or career advancement. That's not a real friend.

However, some famous people are also guilty of questionable behavior in this regard. They become famous and forget their true friends. Some friends, who are violent and trouble prone, you do need to leave behind, lest they get you into trouble. However, your real friends, who may not be cool or glamorous, you shouldn’t forget. Don’t abandon your true friends, who cared about you when you had nothing.

Do remember, the same people you see on your way up are the same folks you will see on your way down (if your career declines, which happens to most). People often use the phrase "Keep it real." Indeed, be real with people.
