AT LONG LAST
YouTube - Woman steals kids' Christmas present
See for yourselves!!!
Read the info for a play-by-play synopsis.
In this thread, a poster made the comment that he could not forgive something like this. I ask, "could" not, or "would" not? I tell you that forgiving somebody is a conscious act that you as an individual must make; nothing prohibits one from forgiving somebody except one's own pride, anger, selfishness, and/or lack of self-control. Is that really the right thing to do, friend? To hold a such a grudge indefinitely?
I think we should wait and see the status this morning.......This can get out of hand if caution is not taken...
I may have been the one to say that, and I would like to clarify. To me, when I say I wouldn't forgive this person, ever, what I mean is that there is no longer any trust, ever. I wouldn't hold a grudge, I wouldn't dwell on the issue. I would totally write this person out of my life, forever. The teenagers, they still have a moral compass, it just needs to be repaired. They have all done the proper thing and I would forgive them, but I would always be iffy as to their character until they showed me proof, through their future actions, that they are good people. As far as the lady, this is a damn _adult_. Someone with intelligence if she can pass an nursing license exam. Her behavior is reprehensible for a grown, educated adult. People like this don't deserve free passes or forgiveness. What they deserve, if it was me or my kid who was the victim, is never having me in their life..ever. Her son got to get a present from someone willing to dress up as Santa, wonder if any of the other males at future Christmas parties will offer to do that?
There is a type of parent that is helping destroy this country. It is all about them and their kids. Their kids get arrested for a DUI or underage drinking, they hire a $5,000 lawyer to prove their precious angel didn't do it. They lie, they steal, they never believe their actions, or the actions of their family are wrong, immoral, or improper. Only when caught red-handed do they finally back down. These people only back down as far as they need. In this case, the toy is being returned, but she isn't going to personally _admit_ her wrongdoing.
Like I said before, I wouldn't dwell on this incident, but I wouldn't forgive either. I most definitely wouldn't have any future associations with this type of person.

My wife and I had someone do this at our wedding, we had cash gifts and for some reason the thief left the $100's but took about $250 in $50's , $20's, and $10's. We made no big deal out of it even though we know who did it. We had no proof anyway. To this day we have nothing to do with them, and in most respects they have not changed. I forgave them, but still do not trust them.
Conscience, not continence, that would be "holding your water" the opposite of incontinence. But I would hope the whale would have continence.
Hey, I'm not laughing at you just laughing with you, Sparky!
Well Lets see what DustJunky2000 has to say this morning,
It seems to me that the wagons are circling around her...she STILL refuses to admit this and now attacks the accuser.
Lets stand back and think about this a minute. IF there was no video, she would have denied it also and those close to her would have been mad that she was even accused. Well there is a small factoid here, there IS a video and it speaks for itself. I am surprised she hasn't accused him of modifying the video yet.
Excuses and more lies....she should just come clean...she is digging herself further into a hole....
