This officer should be on leave and not walking the street with the power of a badge looking for other *shapely* women to sexually harass, punch in the face and drum up some plan to get them alone in "*his*" station

"*A legal document setting out responsibilties, obligations, expectations,and duration of the contract*

Strangely enough, this is exactly what's supposed to happen before marriage. Down and dirty discussions about what this will look like.

Most people miss this part and end up with the husband who dont want do any housework or help with the kids or the wife who dont want cook. Dems fighting issues

She marry the wrong man

The policy of sending people on leave when breaches are **suspected**, currently in existence throughout the public service, does not kick in *after* the investigation, Its triggered while the investigation is ongoing.

Too many inaccurate correlation and causation theories.

There is no way that a string of partner abuse accounts can result in a conclusion that marriage should be abolished. Marriage is nothing short of a beautiful thing, 2 people working together toward a common goal and creating mini versions of themselves to continue and grow that goal. Its beautiful.

The fact that so many people abuse marriage vows by rushing into it because time running out, or focus solely on the physical attributes or the size of the bank account, does not indictate that marriage is faulty. It's the decision process that's flawed.

What should have come out of this discussion is advice on if you chose to date, marry or live with someone, how do you determine if you've done enough to find the person that you will *yoke* yourself to.

We do it everyday in the workplace, a series of questions, tests, interviews, then probation, to find people that we can join together to achieve a common goal. (Stay away from "*marriage minimum wage*" selections, picking the bottom of the barrel just to fill the post will lead to disaster)

I believe I heard the best advice from Thompson senior, basically *eliminate candidates **quickly***, dont allow time to pass or sex to intrude resulting in "*feelings*" clouding judgement. Sounds counterintuitive but it's very difficult to detach from someone you grow to "*love*" even if you start to see warning signs.

First 3 things to look out for, intelligence, a willingness to compromise and a willingness to work together. Lots of others but that's a start.

"*Carrying our nation forward is not the work of one person, or one organisation – or one government. It takes us all, it takes succession from one administration to another, but more than anything it springs from our imaginations, our ideas to make our nation better.*"

Thank you for allowing people to speak. It's at times moderated more than we like but you go beyond what others offer and you speak to issues others shy away from. I sometimes wish I could ask to have @birdie blocked cuz their comments hurt my head, but that is the very type of "*because "I" dont like it*" censorship we do not need. Thank you.

Not true. COVID affects blood vessels, and it did that way before any vaccine came on the scene.

Oh God now they want our organs too.
