“Capitalism and Other Kids’ Stuff” – a popular new film, which argues the anti-capitalist case in simple language, and which has won much acclaim in recent months - is now re-edited and can be viewed and downloaded as a BitTorrent at www.socialist-tv.com This version of the film is a re-edited version of the original that was produced in March, and contains a lot of imagery not seen in the first version. The film, made by 4 members of The Socialist Party in the UK, is 52 minutes in duration and, beginning with a look at how we treat our children, explains in non-jargonised terms, the insanity of a system that places profit before human need. Please note, this is not some leftie Party political broadcast, just a sane look at an insane world that is very much crying out for real change, change that can only be brought about by a majority, acting in their own interests and without leaders, to bring about a moneyless system society in which people have fee access to the benefits of civilisation. The film has been viewed since March some 18000 times, and has been screened in several universities across the USA.
MY STORY IS THIS. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 32 YEARS TO THE SAME MAN, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE DO LOVE EACH EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME. WE HAVE TWO WONDERFUL SONS WHO ARE NOW GROWN MEN. MY HUSBAND HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ADDICTION OF SOME KIND SINCE WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED. DRINKING BEER (OR WAS THAT FISHING THAT HE DID). HE USED TO SAY HE WAS GOING FISHING - WHICH WHAT IT REALLY MEANT WAS THAT HE WAS GOING TO DRINK SOME BEER AND PUT THE FISHING POLE IN THE CREEK AND IF A FISH SHOULD BITE IT - GREAT! WHICH THEY NEVER DID. SO THIS WENT ON FOR MANY YEARS. THEN LATER, HE WAS ADDICTED FOR MANY YEARS TO WATCHING TV, AND READING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WENT ON FOR MANY, MANY, YEARS. I COMPLAINED THAT HE SPEND TOO MUCH TIME READING AND WATCHING TV. THEN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO - HE STOPPED READING. HE DISCOVERED THE INTERNET. THIS WAS DURING A TIME THAT HE WAS UNEMPLOYED AND HE SPEND ALL DAY EVERY DAY ON THE NET....SEARCHING FOR JOBS...I THOUGHT. THEN ONE DAY HE CALLED ME ALL FRANTIC THAT HE COULD NOT FIND HIS KEYS. HE NEEDED THEM RIGHT AWAY - I COULD NOT FIGURE FOR THE LIFE OF ME WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT HE NEEDED THE KEYS BUT HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS VERY STRESSED OUT. SO AFTER A FEW MINUTES I DECIDED TO GO HOME TO HELP FIND THE KEYS. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME HE WAS NOT THERE. I WENT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND HE HAD LEFT HIS MESSAGES OPEN - THERE WAS AN EMAIL TO A WOMAN - SAYING HOW SORRY HE WAS THAT HE DID NOT MEET HER ON TIME BUT THAT HE HAD MISPLACE HIS KEYS! THEN AROUND THE SAME TIME HE WAS TALKING SEX WITH MISS KARO SYRUP FROM TEXAS. SO, NOW IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME DURING THE FIRST 25 YEARS OF OUR MARRIAGE THAT MY HUSBAND WAS CHEATING ON ME - I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM NO WAY. SINCE, THE ABOVE HAPPENED I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL NEVER TRUST HIM THE WAY I TRUSTED HIM IN THE PAST. I JUST CANNOT. SO NOW, HE IS ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET. HE PLAYS POGO EACH NIGHT. UP UNTIL ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO HE SPENT EVERY NIGHT AND WEEKENDS (6-9 HOURS) ON POGO. HE WOULD JUMP OUT OF HIS SKIN IF I CAME INTO THE ROOM AND GET OUT OF WHATEVER HE WAS IN. I WAS JEALOUS OF THE COMPUTER. DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT MADE ME FEEL TO BE JEALOUS OF A COMPUTER. SO, ANYWAY ONE DAY I WAS JUST FED UP WITH IT. SO, I DECIDED THAT IF HE WAS GOING TO PLAY ON THE INTERNET THAT I WAS GOING TO GO OUT. SO I DID. HE DID NOT LIKE THAT. TOUGH IS WHAT I SAID, IF YOU CONTINUE TO SPEND YOU TIME ON THE INTERNET THEN I WILL SPEND MY TIME AT A BAR, TALKING TO PEOPLE IN THE FLESH. SO I DID. HE WANTED TO KNOW WHO I SPOKE TO, WHERE I WENT, WHAT WERE THERE NAMES. I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD LET HIM KNOW ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIS AND THAT IF HE CONTINUED TO STAY ON THE INTERNET AND VIRUALLY IGNORE ME THAN I WOULD SEEK COMPANIONSHIP ELSEWHERE. I DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD 30 WOMEN FRIENDS ON THE POGO SIGHT THAT HE CLAIMS TO THIS DAY WERE JUST PLAY FRIENDS AND NOTHING MORE. HE SPENT ONE WEEK PLAYING EACH NIGHT WITH THE SAME WOMAN. SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENED AND AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION IN REGARD TO THIS MATTER MY HUSBAND IS IN BETTER CONTROL. HE EVEN WENT TO LENGTHS TO CHANGE HIS HANDLE SO I WOULD NOT KNOW HE WAS PLAYING WITH THE SAME WOMEN. FINALLY I THINK HE HAS FIGURED IT OUR THAT HE WAS ALLOWING THE INTERNET TO CONTROL HIS LIFE AND IT WAS COSTING HIM HIS WIFE OF 32 YEARS. HE NOW STILL PLAYS WHENEVER I AM AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. THAT DOES BOTHER ME - BUT AT LEAST NOW HE COMES DOWN AND TALKS TO ME WHEN I GET HOME - HE SPENDS MORE TIME WITH ME AND LESS TIME ON THE COMPUTER. I SAY THAT CONFRONTING THEM IS HARD AND YES I GUESS SOME PEOPLE CAN HANDLE IT - BUT ANYTHING DONE TO EXCESS IN THIS LIFE CAUSES TROUBLE SOMEWHERE IN YOUR LIFE. I FEEL THAT THE INTERNET IS A WONDERFUL TOOL WHEN USED RESPONSIBLY - BUT THERE ARE SO MANY ABUSING THIS THING CALLED A COMPUTER. IT IS ALL STILL A MYSTERY TO ME. I AM 52 YEARS OLD AND THINK IT IS A SAD WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR FRIENDS OVER A COMPUTER. I JUST DO NOT GET IT. I PROBABLY NEVER WILL. I ENJOY BEING WITH PEOPLE. SO ANYWAY, WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM. IT IS PRETTY BAD WHEN YOU HAVE TO EMAIL YOUR HUSBAND THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE LOVE. BUT YOU KNOW, I GUESS SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. BY THE WAY HE DID COME DOWN RIGHT AWAY. WE DID HAVE A GOOD TIME. MAYBE I WILL JUST DO THAT MORE OFTEN.... SO WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THIS ADDICTION. AT LEAST I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO HIM. I HAVE STILL BEEN CHECKING ON HIM. I KNOW THAT IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD THING BUT HE HAS EARNED MY DISTRUST. I HOPE TO TRUST HIM FULLY AGAIN SOMEDAY. DID I TELL YOU THAT I TRULY LOVE THIS MAN AND BELIEVE THAT HE TRULY LOVES ME. HE JUST HAS AN ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY AMD THANK GOD HE DOES NOT DRINK MUCH ANYMORE AND HE HAS NEVER DONE DRUGS. SO I HAVE MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR...GOD BLESS
Former US Address 1750 Bay Ridge Avenue 2nd Floor Brooklyn New York 11204 UK Correspondence Address 78 Marylebone High Street Suite 47 London, W1U 5AP VP Richard Cheney White House Washington DC Ref: Continued Sabotage Date: 7th June 2005 Dear Vice President Cheney, I wrote to you a few months ago outlining the behaviour portrayed by both Imperial College London against me and at Land Rover against my brother. Land Rover was given the Ok by the government to act in the manner it did as well as prevent my brother getting access to free independent legal counsel. Much like what we are seeing in the USA at current. It seems the behaviour at Imperial was instigated by Shell through Hakluyt’s involvement with the British Government. It has become apparent that Hakluyt International had on its board several members which used their connections to gain information as and when they wanted for Shell Transport and Trading in particular. Lord Trotman was integral in making connections with Shell Transport and Trading, Imperial College London, Ford, IBM, University of Cambridge (CMI Institute) and Hakluyt and Company itself. It was therefore unfortunate when we learned that Lord Trotman had suddenly passed away during my wifes and my trip to the US. In particular it seems that Lord Trotman was very close to Sir Richard Sykes who is the current Rector of Imperial College London and who was instrumental in removing my funding as well as preventing me from getting my PhD studies conducted. Professor Julia Higgins was appointed Chairman of EPSRC Council in April, 2003 and my funding from EPSRC was also stopped along with Halliburton in late February 2005. Currently Lord Kerr also a Shell director is on the Imperial Court along with Eileen Buttle who is also a Shell Director. Sir Richard Sykes was instructed to get me out of Imperial College and so got the Head of the Department to invoke a regulation 7 on me which basically happened because for 9 months Imperial College engaged in a pre-orchestrated attack on me during my research. When I complained to both the UK and US government by writing to the White House they tried to get rid of me through a Kangaroo style court in which on my appeal I asked 3 students and 3 faculty members to attend. Not a single witness attended because UK intelligence prevented them from allowing me to cross-exam them. Sir Richard Sykes (Rector) of Imperial was trying to get me out of Imperial College so any rule (even made up or customised would do) was invented by Imperial. I had my senior advisor Professor Hewitt ask me several times in the 1st quarter of 2004 to change supervisors, which I didn’t want to do, he was instructed by Imperial to slow my work down on equipment so that Halliburton may comment on my progress, he asked me to do work which was not warranted. Professor Hewitt didn’t want to do any research papers with me or my junior advisor and actually told me that ‘Imperial College was leaning on him’ with regards to trying to get rid of me? My junior advisor (Alex Bismarck) thumped me on my back three times over a period of time despite me telling him not do so. He referred to porn sites, he didn’t inform me when another student was transferring to the PhD despite being in the same group, he didn’t inform me to go to Safety meetings when he should of and generally acted in a non-interested manner. Again this was due to the intelligence services. Students were being bullied and pressurized to ask me things from Intelligence services which was very specific. The environment at Imperial was staged so that I would get fed-up and leave however because I didn’t do that they decided to change tactics. I wrote to outside of the college because Imperial faculty and staff on purpose did not do anything about their own orchestrated actions. It was a disgraceful and almost comical they way the department of Chemical Engineering behaved. They department orchestrated many things apart from slowing my work down, they also made me conduct reaction engineering work where as all other students were allowed to conduct laboratories with junior students. Imperial orchestrated my work with reaction engineering that backfired since I decided I was too busy to work on their reaction engineering equipment. Halliburton has conspired with Imperial College to ensure not only my funding was stopped but that I could not continue with my PhD programme. Three of the Halliburton staff including Ian Robb in Oklahoma along with his manager were instructed to review my work and provide a feedback to the US in particular back to Shell. In addition the staff at Halliburton tried to give me a hard time during a normal update on my work. This occurred because US intelligence did not want my wife and I returning to the USA and so got Halliburton to work overtime with Imperial College to ensure that happened. As I had indicated that if my studies continue to be effected by Imperial College as well as Halliburton in the USA via continued pressure from John Ashcroft in the Department of Justice who just recently resigned from his post then my wife and I would be returning back to the USA. We hope VP Cheney that the US intelligence stop playing games and stop tying to set us up continuously. The DOJ is fully aware that my family is Sikh and continue to try and play games with us. The FBI wrote to Hillary Clinton (November 2003) stating that my wife’s and my concerns were not substantiated, however, Mr Pistole who is now deputy director of the FBI failed to address our actual encounters with law enforcement harassing us including. My wife and I were willing to meet with Robert Mueller (FBI Director) however he has continually declined which concerns us: The FBI are the ones which work within the DOJ. (1) Following my wife and I when we left our Brooklyn house in unmarked vehicles (2) Approaching my wife and I and stopping their vehicle near us before driving off. (3) In Philadelphia I caught an agent sitting in a car with a FBI plate watching me (4) Stopping the electricity in the hotel that my wife and I was staying in during our visit to New Jersey, breaking into our room (the only room in Philadelphia which suffered an electricity blackout!) and stealing my wife’s company Lap Top (5) A police car and two black SUV’s pulling into a shopping mall in Philadelphia after my trip to St Georges to see a furniture store. Placing their lights on my vehicle before pulling away. All these actions and many more have been orchestrated by John Ashcroft through instructions of the Vice Presidents office. In addition it seems that John Ashcroft’s team went as far as possible to try and discredit my wife and I: 1) First they tried to make us Muslim extremists when we were in fact Sikhs and they knew that. 2) They were involved in using Onkar Sangha a family relative to try and set-us up in the UK during a trip to find funding. The stitch up included discrediting President G. W Bush and bad mouthing John Ashcroft. The person doing this was a muslin with a long sounding name. I reported him to the British police and anti-terrorist team but because the UK intelligence through Hakluyt were part of the failed conspiracy they did not come and talk to me. 3) They then tried to discredit my wife because she was reading a book by Hillary Clinton, this anti-democratic actions was purposely being driven by a republican DOJ. 4) Despite my wife’s and my support for the US troops in Iraq as well as my wife’s and my funding to the Bush-Cheney 2004 funding drive to help fight terrorism and as well as my involvement with the oil industry in Houston, my meeting and friendship with the former Vice Chairman of Halliburton Mr K Lesur and as well as my visit to Dallas in 1999 to visit you Mr Cheney after speaking to Mr. Lesur (you were out of the office that day), the DOJ purposely neglected this information because of John Ashcroft. 5) I believe it is time that the new Director of Intelligence should address this matter so that my wife when we return to the USA can continue with our efforts to contribute to the US economy. 6) In January 2005 my junior supervisor Alex Bismarck stated that John Ashcroft is supposed to be a ‘good Christian’ implying the problems that we faced in the US was squarely due to him. In addition Mr Bismarck commented that every-time you go to that country they bend you over, why would you even want to go the USA? Unfortunately it seems that the US intelligence not only interfered with my visit but also got my attorneys son (Mr. Edward Bronson at (646) 485-7700) to get information from me asking me to get a mobile phone in the USA as well as getting me to create an email account (sikh@iname.com). In addition the intelligence got Edward to get me to go to Kinko’s to print some material for him. This was a set-up since the FBI has reported that Kinko’s is apparently used by suspected terrorists. That may be the case but that has nothing to do with me or my family, so I would respectfully ask why it was that my attorneys son was asked to get me to go to Kinko’s other than put us on false and continued suspicion on my wife and I. We (my wife and I) will be coming back to the USA because Shell has used its connections with Hakluyt and the UK government to make false and misleading information to the USA intelligence community for their own orchestrated means. Shell via Hakluyt abused the US intelligence time and resources to have my wife’s mine and our family’s academic and professional pursuits sabotaged due to Shells request. In addition because Lord Trotman was also on the IBM board they used IBM to ensure that my wife and I got removed from IBM in New York. IBM’s manager and directors knew exactly what they were doing and so became part of the conspiracy. It is however very unfortunate that Lord Trotman died on April 26th after a very short and unexpected illness. However IBM currently has replaced Lord Trotman with another member of the Hakluyt Board and that is Minoru Makihara. This was how IBM conducted its businesses as usual, I am sure that Sam Palmisano is aware of that. It is fair to say that IBM did not know the degree of conspiracy by Shell to sabotage my family work, nevertheless they were an integral part of it, up-to the senior management level. In addition the Justice Department has been preventing my attorney (Larry Bronson) from doing his job in fairly representing me. They have prevented him from contacting individuals who the US intelligence had threatened and approached during my wife’s stay during January 2001 and October 2003 in New York and generally working on the case. During my wife’s and my recent trip to the USA the US intelligence were back to their no good activities, it is clear that the new Director of the National Intelligence can offer us hope in resolving these issues. My wife and I have suggested that the FBI, CIA and NSA need to once and for all get together and have the courage to come forward and not conduct business in the background. We want answers and we want those individuals in Shell and the appropriate intelligence services to be bought to justice and imprisoned for their orchestrated behaviour. I have initiated a business in New York (Jupiter Computer Services: bsgjupiter@usa.com) which would allow computers to be placed in Hotel rooms in New York City but after the US intelligence followed us they sabotaged and contacted the appropriate General Managers and other staff to stop the deals: 1/ The Park Savoy hotel (58th Street Between 6th and 7th Avenue) where we were staying: Mike and Tony the front desk staff had been approached to ask questions etc. 2/ Eric Long Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York City 3/ Per Hellman and Pamela Burk Director at the Millennium Hotel New York City 4/ GM of both Sheraton Hotels in Times Square New York City (owned by Starwood Hotels and Resorts) 5/ As a result of the interference by intelligence Barry Sternlicht resigned as executive chairman on 5th May 2005 and vacating his board seat as Chairman of Starwood Hotels and Resorts and has subsequently just moved to Starwood Capital. He been working with Leman Brothers on property deals. The significance of Lehman is that during a trip to the USA I entered the Times Square location of Lehman Brothers in New York City to get a brochure for my wife. However those following us made an incorrect assessment and shortly thereafter my wife received an email from Lehman Brothers to her Cambridge University email account (db355@cam.ac.uk) saying that her application had been unsuccessful. However my wife never applied for any position at Lehman and so to get a rejection was very disturbing! 6/ Owner of The Wellington Hotel, New York City 7/ John Canavan GM The Edison Hotel, New York City 8/ General Manager, The Marriot Marque Time Square 9/ Bob Boughner CEO Borgato Hotel (1-646-549-8923) 10/ Wanda Chan GM The Warwick Hotel (212-314-7830) 11/ Milford Plaza (Mr Andrew Hamilton and his team (212-869-3600) 12/ Vikram Chatwal (Hotelier) (212-474-9800) 13/ Yezdi Katrak Director of Operations (212-752-7000) 14/ Recently Kirk Kekorian secretary (Jacky) at the Tracinda Group Head office was contacted by US intelligence who instructed her to tell me to contact Terri Lenni’s office (1-702-693-77123). When I did I was asked to speak to Janet, Mr Randy Morton’s secretary (1-702-7307100) he was debriefed to try to ensure that he puts me off doing business with the MGM Mirage group. Initially Janet was asked to get me to email him initially so that intelligence could get my email address. Intelligence should go talk to Nigel Wheatley who has stopped my Imperial College email access. 15/ Recently Thomas Pritzker’s (Hyatt Hotel Chairman) secretary (1-312-873-4900) was contacted during my call (by intercepting our call and putting me on hold) she asked to ensure that when I sent a fax to his office that my telephone contact be definitely attached which it obviously would have been. The list continues…. In all cases the issue was around how much free cash would be available to me. This was to stop my wife and I continuing with our case against the very same intelligence individuals that are involved. I believe this is outrageous behaviour which needs to halt immediately. This Bigotry and discrimination is a theme which seems to be running through these issues. We also indicated that my wife in her role as International Women’s Officer for Cambridge University invited both the first lady Laura Bush, Mrs Lynne Cheney and Hillary Clinton to attend an international function, however the intelligence services diverted and destroyed the communications. These efforts were due to a desperate attempt to prevent my wife from speaking to the first lady, Lynne Cheney and Hillary Clinton. However this type of interception only shows the efforts that the intelligence community went to. We have on several occasions stated that you could ask Mr M. Singh Prime Minster of India about our family as my father-in-law is the President of the Indian Overseas Congress Party and has met the Prime Minster on several occasions. In addition my father-in-law has been at Buckingham Palace to have tea with her Majesty the Queen. We are disappointed at the actions portrayed by the US intelligence and in particular the interfere and sabotage they have caused during employment and academic work. Equally we are disappointed by the actions of Shell through Hakluyt and the UK government. Shell and Hakluyt is getting protection from the government since Tony Blair used Lord Inge who was on Hakluyt’s board to come onto the Butler inquiry. In addition Sir Richard Sykes also was placed on the History Museum by Tony Blair. This for obvious reasons shows miss-aligned objectives and the rector therefore feels he is untouchable along with his subordinates. We have as stated written to Tony Blair but have had our paper work diverted or destroyed. We would be grateful if you could ask Tony Blair whether he was aware when Imperial College removed me from Imperial College during his visit to Imperial and what knowledge he has in our case. More importantly Tony Blair should advice us on whether it was Hakluyt’s men or the British Intelligence who were getting students that shared the same office as mine at Imperial College to discredit and make fun of the President, Vice President and Ms Condoleezza Rice. Only after I showed a picture of VP Dick Cheney in the same SPE journal as myself did the room go quite and the bantering stop. Again I would not blame the students only the intelligence services who prompted them to act in this manner. Imperial College, rather than acting as an institution of excellence acted as a second class circus act. An answer from the Prime Minister Mr Blair would be very helpful as well as the role of Richard Sykes. This is not how governments are supposed to do business. The US intelligence have been preventing my wife and I working in the USA, however this we hope you would agree should not be tolerated. In addition Halliburton and Schlumberger both joined the bandwangon on instructions from the USA to make trouble with my research at Imperial College. Sir Richard Sykes and the Chairman of Schlumberger share on the same board as Rio Tinto Plc. And Shell has both Halliburton and Schlumberger as not only service providers but also joint venture partners. Shell Transport and Trading needs to be shut down and its Directors needs to be criminally charged and IBM’s directors need to be fined as accomplices for enacted out Shells wishes. Imperial Colleges rector Sir Richard Sykes needs to be removed from Imperial College London and his subordinate team including Nigel Wheatley Geoffrey Hewitt, Alex Bismarck, Julie Higgins and Stephen Richardson all need to stand in-front of a legitimate court and answer for their collective disgraceful behaviour and bastardisation of the Sikh Religion. It is interesting to note that Richard Sykes was instructed to ‘somehow’ remove me from Imperial, he handed this command to Stephen Richardson who imposed a frivolous regulation against me. In addition Stephen Richardson failed to address all of the inconsistent behaviour by his Faculty members as well as the students because UK intelligence said it was OK to do so. I was asked to retract my statements or otherwise my research would be affected, this insidious threat was enacted by Nigel Wheatley, and after I refused to do such a thing the only way for Imperial to get out of their mess was to enforce yet another frivolous and non-compliant regulation which stated that I must get a medical check-up. It was mapped out in advance during the last quarter of 2004 that the individual who was going to do the medical was under pressure to deliver results desperate to save Imperial Colleges disgraceful behaviour and Image. My obvious reluctance led to them to continue pressurizing me by stopping my PhD funding as well as my funding from Halliburton Energy Services, subsequently they have pulled my funding as a pre-orchestrated strategy. Geoffrey Hewitt needs to address and answer who it was in Imperial College who was leaning on him and who it was that asked Richard Sykes to invoke convenient regulations. The net of all this is that Imperial through a less convincing manner have stopped my funding and stopped me from conducting my research at Imperial College. In addition VP Cheney we would like the new Director of National Intelligence to take our material and enquire why such abuse took place at the Department of Justice. My wife and I have not done anything apart from become Shell Transport and Tradings (40% partner of Royal Dutch) directors pet project of miss-abuse and criminal behaviour. The reserves scandal suffered by Shell is just the tip of the iceberg that the directors were involved with. Please also note that UK Intelligence are interfering with my wife’s sister in relation to her personal life, every time a Sikh boy wants to talk to her in relation to potential marriage as is the case in our religion the boys are asked questions from the UK intelligence services. Tony Blair has to openly discuss this matter and more importantly address who actually is running the intelligence services in the UK? We are sending our resumes as well as the Hakluyt board members and their additional links to business and the UK government. It is clear that Shell used Hakluyt and the British intelligence to lie to the USA and used the US intelligence to carry out their devious work against my family. Royal Dutch needs to remove the entire UK directors and make appropriate changes. VP Cheney my wife and I would like to meet with you in Washington so that you can help in assisting in this criminal behaviour and we thank you for your time in advance. Kind Regards Baldev Singh Gill
Hello. Mail correspondence to jeffloeb@dslextreme.com Quite often, I have had lengthy sessions on the Internet. One or two hours a day. Within a 2-day span I was on for SIX hours. I have dial-up, and people trying to phone me get frustrated. Sometimes I just lose track of time, and it mounts up. That's all I have to say.
I have a friend who is married for almost 16 years. He ask me for help aboust his wife who become addict on internet chatting. When he approach his about this matter, his wife answered that it's better for them to be separated because she found some person whom she fall in-love. But this couple for almost 16 years as husband and wife did not bear a fruit of love for unknown reason. They did not go the physician for reproductive health chec-up. Kindly give me advise what I can advise to these couple whom I considered as very closed friends of mine?
I would like to order your book on Overcoming Internetaddiction. We are on the verge of a divorce and I'll try anything. My wife talks to men in chat rooms and she says its not cheating but it is. Let me know how to order. Sleepless in Missouri missouriman@yahoo.com

We are looking for some information on internet Addiction information. If you have some information for us please help!!
well. I'm a 17 year old female who spends a lot of time online because there's nothing else to do. I rely on my parents to drive me places and frequently they can't do it without weeks prior notice. I chat, I message board, I LJ. I'd say my average hours a day are between half an hour and 6 hours. depends on how much I want to stay on and when my parents kick me off. my stepfather says that watching me online is like watching a crack addict and so he has me looking for internet support groups in our area. Either that or he's gonna disallow all net access completely. Anyway. some observations of my stepfather are such: when asked to help the family out I have difficulties disconnecting. Sometimes I get angry when I have to get off. I'm not sure if this is me reacting to my parents being bitchy about me getting off..or if it's me not wanting to get off. I'm honestly sure that if I had the ability to leave and be able to get farther than the bottom of the hill I wouldn't be online so much. I much prefer seeing my friends in person. what do you think?
I am a gay 24 yr old male who is addicted to chat rooms. I am in a great 2 yrrelationship, am close with my family and friends, have a wonderful job and am in grad school. I am afraid my chatting online might start effecting my life negatively if I don't start seeking advice. As of right now I go on for long periods of time (5-9hrs) once every week or so. I have never cheated on my partner, and don't plan to. The internet serves as an outlet for me when he's not around (work, activites, ect)....a place to fulfull my random sexual fantasies without actually doing them. I regularly go online to seek out people who will talk about similar unusual sexual fantasies because, being anonymous, it is safe to do so. The fantasy I have is related to having sex with identical twins - and it was created, in part, because my partner is a twin. He knows about the fantasy and that I feel bad about having it, and it comfortable with my feelings. Of course, however, we would never play it out. I go online seeking people who have twins (or pretend to) to enact a fantasy that would not happen in reality. Lately the twin fantasy has been the sole reason I go onto chat rooms and I don't like the fact that it is consuming so much of my time. I have a degree in psychology which makes me believe this is either a form of OCD or addiction -- I just don't know how to curb this. I can't stop using the internet because I need it for work. Any suggestions?

How To Overcome Internet Addiction Book
in under 30 Days!
My mother decide it was time to get computer literate and so therefore got online. During the following months her emails to me became fewer and fewer( this being our form of contact as we live in different states) When I went home to visit her I found out why, she was spending all her time on chat and was extremely anti-social and protective of her computer. When I went home I realised how bad she was when she didnt call for my birthday, this is extremely out of character for a women who collects presents all year long! Yesterday my brother called and told me she now hates her life (Im assuming the people on chat have much more fulfilled and chic lifestyles! yeah right!) And she wants to kill herself not aonly that she wants to leave her partner of many years and be magically saved by her mysterious chat lover! Im at a loss at what to do and how to help her. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP BEFORE SHE DOES SOMETHING CRAZY!

My husband and I live in Indiana. We got married Oct.2001. We were truly best friends, soul mates and the exact opposite of one another. He was the male me, and I was the female him. Our relationship was the best because we didn't fight about anything, every "disagreement" was so petty that we overcame it quickly. We enjoyed playing games on the internet gaming sites. He built a computer for my 10-yr-old daughter and he had ours in the other room. We would play Scrabble and Monopoly against each other in opposite rooms which was really fun. By Jan.2002, he had found a "friend" in one gaming site who was having problems in her relationship. He was giving her examples of how he treated me like a queen and how great our relationship was. He had kept this "friendship" a secret from me, and would only talk to this person when I was at work. I had asked him numerous times if he was cheating on me because his actions were indicating that he was. He was very distant, defensive, and he would always complain about something in our marriage (lack of money, inability to communicate, and he thought I was trying to control him) which was all news to me. He even took himself off all of his anti-depressant medication because he "didn't want anyone or anything to control him or his actions." Well, it turns out that his "friend" was from England, was about 10 years older than him, and has 5 or 6 kids. I found e-mails from the both of them saying.."I found the love of my life..I love you...You're the one for me..." He had never seen what she looked like, and I don't think he had sent her a picture of himself. He quit his 2 1/2 yr. career as a cable installer and started to give away a lot of his personal possessions. He was telling me that he wanted to explore the cable industry in England because it was so much more advanced than the U.S. and he could advance faster by going to England. He said he would check it out, get established, and send for me and my daughter. I am a CMA (Certified Medical Assistant) and he said he looked up careers in England for me and "I could make twice the money over there, not pay for healthcare, advance quickly " in my field...Oh, and "the education for my daughter is the best. They only go to school until age 16 because they go to school all year round..." (He did a lot of research on this, can you tell?) He actually had me believing him and my mind was open to the possibilities. Well, unfortunately, this all happened around tax refund time. To sum this up, he took 1/2 our tax check (he didn't want to leave me with absolutely nothing-how nice of him). He said he was going to England with or without me. The day he left, he was all dressed up as if he were going to a wedding or to church. He "wanted to look nice" for the "person from the cable company that was picking him up at the airport." He called me from Chicago O'Hare airport and said, "You know, this just won't work. I don't think I'm coming back. I'll HAVE to make it work out there somehow." Well, his plane ticket was round trip so I knew he was definitely coming back. He only had $2500-$3000. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, all I could do was cry. Even though he did this to me, I still cared about his well-being. He was in a foreign country, didn't know anyone, didn't know where he was going or how to get there, etc. I was more or less scared for him and there was nothing I could do because I didn't know how to get a hold of him to make sure he was okay. Well, about 4 days after he left, he called me. He had bought a "pay by minute" cell phone. I asked him if he was done being stupid and if he was ready to come home to work this out. He said he was so scared, he found a hotel room, things didn't work out for the job search, he was running out of money, and he missed me and wanted to come home. I waited for his return flight date and picked him up at the airport. He had a British accent already, and he had only been there 2 weeks. Well, when we got home from the airport, there was a message on my answering machine from a woman (with a British accent) who said.."Mrs. B****, I think you better ask your husband where he's been for the last 2 weeks and whose bed he's been sleeping in." I was shocked!!!! He told me that he met up with that girl from the internet and she showed him around a little...but that was it. I didn't believe him so I said..."Let's call her." So, we called her (I was on one phone and he was on another). I got all my answers and confirmations and he was literally sick. He was bawling like a baby and vomiting because he was seriously busted! We were on the phone for over an hour. After he finally came clean, I let him stay in the house but in seperate rooms. We talked about everything to what she looked like (nasty and old) to how many times they had sex, to his thoughts about what he did to me. We agreed to work it out with counseling, church, and support from our family and friends. We had only gone to counseling twice, but things did improve for about a year and a half. Things were wonderful again. Then...just recently, he started acting funny again. I asked him if everything was okay, and he said, "Yes." He was playing Euchre an awful lot on this other gaming site we had been a part of and getting awfully flirtatious. I occasionally snooped in the computer (as I had every right to do so) but I couldn't find anything. Either he was very, very sneaky and had a hidden program to cover his tracks, or he really wasn't doing anything wrong. This went on for a couple of months. He eventually said that he got tired of me sneaking around to check up on him, looking over his shoulder when he was in the gaming room, looking throught the cookies and temp.internet files. I really didn't find anything, so I felt like a fool. I was happy that I didn't find anything. He just gave up and said,"F*** it, if she wants to find something, I'll give her something to find. " He got a voice mail on his cell phone, woman's voice saying, "Hi baby, I know you can't answer your phone right now....." (click)....He deleted the message and the phone#. When I questioned him about it, he blew up, packed his things and moved out to his mom's. Guess what? This time the woman was from Oklahoma, 10 years older with 5 kids. Well, at least this time he stayed in his own country!!! He got very close to her in just a matter of weeks that she was "coming up here with 3 of her 5 kids, finding a job, he loves her and she loves him, they were going to find a place together and live happliy ever after." He didn't have a clue what she looked like, but he sent her pictures of him. One was him in his tuxedo AT OUR WEDDING. I was crushed...AGAIN. Last time he did this to me with the England thing, I physically beat the shit out of him. This time, I just let him go. He was staying at his mom's just a few miles away. We exchanged bitter e-mails and instant messages and there were 3-way phone calls with her. I tried to warn her what he did to me just last year. I said there had to be a diagnosis for what kind of mental illness he had that he continued to display this kind of addiction. Being in the medical field, I was easily able to locate some possibilities of mental illnesses and emailed them to her. Well, that didn't stop her from coming up here. She was here only a few days over Labor Day weekend. I had somewhat given up the fight for him so i decided that I would go out on a date. It happened to be with one of our mutual friends. I had a great time together but I still was keeping my eye open in case we accidentally bumped into them. When my date and I came back to my apartment, things started to get rather steamy, but they didn't go as far as they could have. I still had respect for myself as a woman, a mother, and a wife. 2 wrongs don't make it right. I sent an email to my husband stating that I had moved on, went out with "our friend" , gave him some of the details of our date, and thanked him for making me open my eyes. My exact words were "our relationship isn't as fabulous as yours (sarcastic remark) but then again I will know what he looks like before we make love...came pretty damn close last night...This absolutely killed my husband. He felt so stupid for what he had done...(AGAIN) We kept in touch with each other and our bitterness was subsiding. Then he said he realized where he belonged....with me. He really understood that we were best friends and he didn't want to lose that. He said he was sorry for hurting me and my daughter again. He was willing to give our marriage one final chance if I was willing to also. Well, I also have a disease called "co-dependency", so I agreed that we would work it out. He put all his possessions in storage-INCLUDING HIS COMPUTER. He had a few conditions before we would try to work it out. We would go to counseling (more than twice this time), we would get our cell phone #'s changed, get our emails and screen names changed, change our home phone #, and we would start all over again....from scratch. He would stay at his mom's house and we would "date", exclusively. We would start off slowly again, and get our sparks back. I referred to them as "cartoon hearts and butterflies". I am still keeping my guard up because I don't want to get hurt again. Please help me understand this disease and how to help him get the treatment he needs. The only thing that has come between us in our marriage is the damn internet. That's it! This is all new to me and I don't know how to deal with it. I know it's an addiction and there's got to be some way to treat it. Thank you.
need extra money fast? try this it really works!!! Posted By: Lisa Martin <rocco@charter.net> Date: Friday, 7 June 2002, at 6:53 a.m. MAKE MONEY FAST!!!!!! Easy Money!!! Aren't you just the least bit curious??? Hello!....everyone can always use some extra cash? Right? Well here’s something I tried out because I needed extra cash and it was a good investment. Hey I was only using 6 dollars (which is not risky at all)and just trying this out to satisfy my curiousity. What your basically doing is paying one dollar to have your name placed on a mailing list. The profits are very good if you follow the directions and are honest. So after you put your effort in it, everyone involved get a handsome profit. Isn’t it worth trying out???? What have you got to lose but six dollars and six stamps….well here is the oringinal message I received so just try it out and when you participate we’ll all win!!! .Hi, my name is Lisa, and like everyone else I've never liked the idea of MLM schemes. But read through this, you may find its worth a try. I gave it a try and it has helped me wonderfully with the bills and to get me financialy on the right track. Take a minute to read this, because READING THIS COULDCHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1) Sean Han 13800 Biola Avenue Box 1944 La Mirada, CA 90639 #2) Lo Xiong 430 Knox Ave North Minneapolis, MN 55405 #3) Ben Northcutt 5001 Lincoln Rd Indianapolis, IN 46228 #4) Mike Laury 10 Snapdragon Irvine, CA 92604 #5)Lisa Martin 11903 18th Avenue Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 #6)Tiffany D’Elia 25 Papa Ln. Cameron NC, 28326
MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO THIS PART RIGHT. MOVE EACH NAME UP, "NOT" DOWN. STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this do#####ent, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. Don't let this exciting opportunity pass you by!:
For about a year, my wife has been going into chat rooms and neglecting reality.She chats every waking mine of the day or night.She has been dignosed manic depressive by the family Dr. and has been prescribed Prozac, but has'nt filled the rx since Feb. Our family life has gone to shit,just like our marriage. She ignores her duties as a wife and a mother,she really needs help. Whenever I try to talk to her about ANYTHING, she snaps and curses like a wild animal.

I am 18. I've been on the internet since sixth grade and I still can't get off. I have alot of trouble on Usenet and I get into very hurtful fights with others. I actually enjoy websites, but I spend too much time on. I have a low attention span now and my reading skills are now very slow (it takes me three weeks to finish a book). My biggest problem is Usenet. I have been a Usenet abuser from the beginning. I'm probibly a troll to all and my worst offence is alt.tv.wings. I keep going there only to get hurt by people who think I am being immature. I get very harsh responces and it hurts me in the human flesh, although my internet persona does not show it. I got on the group because of my love for actor Thomas Haden Church who played Lowell Mather on "Wings". Because of this, I'm afraid to write via snai-mail to Mr. Church because he probibly will know me as Ange Faitore, the chick who attacked alt.tv.wings. A few hours ago I was very angry and made multiple posts, which is a big offence that can be considered abuse. I'm afraid I'll get caught and worse things will happen to me.
Please, I have a Usenet addiction above all else. Help me!!!

I destroyed our relationship, was careless with true love. I did part of it with a computer. But it was me. I did it. Now I live in hell. Please dont take love for granted. I only feel dispair Fuck It.
One of the more interesting and effective ways to get rid of your internet addiction is to
a) realize that a human being does not have access to worldwide information to be happy; happiness is more of a personal thing;
b) unplug the computer from the jack/cable and after cancelling the hosting provider buy something like a bike (always wear your helmet for safety :)
If you feel that internet has supplanted some part of reality for you, by all means seek professional help if you feel you absolutely cannot control yourself for access.
hello there! I dont no really if i WAS addicted, i think i was. I Chatted with people I played games etc. I think i was online almost all day after school. I'm 16 now and im not really addicted. I'm writing a report about addictions and i came to this site. I red a few storries here and I don't know if this helps a bit but...
If your partner has an internet problem give him social boosts or let him/her do things she/he likes. Go out, meet friends etc. helps alot.
screw something up on the computer, without a connection he has got nothing to do on the computer. WHen I knew i couldn't do anything when the connection was lost someway , i just did something else, something social most of the time.
I don't know how to deal with cyber sex & partners over the internet and stuff. Cuz the people i met on the internet or mostly my friends.
just remember there are always things more fun than internet! I see most problems are with chatting etc. , talk about it, don't fight him/her. ask him/her why she/he does it. tell him/her that she can talk about it with you and things like that give him/her other things to do that he/she likes
i dont know if i can really help somebody with this and sorry for my bad english anyway, good luck...
there's a bigger world than the internet!

Lost Faith
How does one lose faith in our government and our courts system?
Let me tell you a story about what is happening to me now. This is
a story about a man who strives to be fair ,honest and most of all
have a belief and trust in my God. A man wanting to live the American
dream.
Ever since I was at the age of 17, I worked so hard to be a provider.
To do all the things I was raised and taught to do. Little did I
know what my life had enstore for me.
I married this women That is from Geneva county, ALDue to the
constant incapatibility we got a divorce.
Now during this time of marriage I was suppose to have fathered 3 children.
Some few years had gone by and I went to the Urologist here in my town.
As the doctor was giving me my examination he brought to my attention
that I had a disease to the testicles. The doctor then went on to tell me
that this disease strikes in puberty and can sterilizes a man. When the doctor
told me this I said "How can this be, I’m suppose to have 3 children?"The doctor looked at me and said " YOU TELL ME".
Needless to say I felt very betrayed and totally in shock.
At this point I knew I had to have a semen test just to see if what the doctor
Had said was true. Sure enough the test results came back and the doctor said
QUOTE Doctor said YOU COULDNT GET A FLEA PREGNANT' UNQUOTE.
Now with this information, I gave it a lot of thought. I felt I needed to know the truth.
Searching my heart of hearts knowing this had to be done.
SO I DECIDED
I decided to call my x-wife, who fled to Alaska with the 3 kids, and ask her to
have these test done(Under the advice of my first Lawyer).
She screamed and yelled and said NEVER!!
I dont know about you but doesn’t that mean automatic guilt? What would she have to hide if they were mine?
Anyhow, She hung up the phone before saying I would never see the kids again.
So now I was faced with retaining a lawyer to test myself and the kids.
I hired an Attorney here in Houston County, Dothan Alabama, who I had total faith in,
My first mistake.
Court date finally came almost 2 years later in Geneva County.
I finally felt I would get my test and know the truth. So I thought.
My lawyer at the time presented my tests.
I had concrete test, and letter stating from doctor that I would need medical help in order to
(maybe ) Father a child. What do you think happened?
Let me tell you. Judge said NO.
Only if I could prove I was sterile at the time of conception.
How could he say no when in 1988 congress passed a law mandating ALL
states to provide paternity testing at the request of ANY party.
example: SECTION 26-17A-1 saying: provides ,in pertent part upon petition of defendant in a Paternity proceeding where the defendant HAS BEEN DECLARED FATHER , the case can be reopened if there is scientific evidence presented by the defendant that his is not the father court shall admit into any.
How could a judge be above the law?
As I move on this women decides to have revenge on me and ruin my whole life. Well I have a family of my own to take care of and the courts are going to allow her to do this to me.
So tell me, how does one lose faith?
When the system fails more then it succeeds.
I don’t feel I am getting treated fair. This is my x-wife’s town where every one
Knows every one, and I have no chance at fairness. They wont let me move it
out of Geneva County, so fairness is out of the question for me.
The Alabama codes and sections say’s I have rights, but how can that be? There
is no justice for me.
If those children are not mine doesn’t that mean this women lied to the courts in our divorce?
Doesn’t that mean she lied to me fooled me into believing the kids were mine?
Isn’t that lieing under God? I just don’t get it.
I would think the courts would want to stop the deceiving and uphold the law.
Lets flip the coin a second. If a women became pregnant and pointed the
finger and said a man was the father of her baby, What would happen?
I'll tell you. He would be made to take a paternity test.
So how is this diff. for me?
I have proof that raises reason to believe of infidelity and lies.
All I know as women they know they give birth for a man it’s a little different.
Do I not have the right to know if those children are mine?
Do not the children have a right to know?
Doesn’t the real father have a right to know he has children?
Have you ever heard of Dead Beat Dads? well ,what about those mothers?
What about those mothers that deceive and break her vows under God ?
It’s a shame even though we have somewhat of laws to help men like me they
are not enforced.
Can you see where the faith can just leave a mans heart?
Are you proud to be an American?
I used to be once.
By Tim Daw from Alabama who will never see justice..
There is a crime out there and it is called Paternity Fraud. Most men feel ashamed facing the truth. But for me I have to know.
Dont let this happen to your son or uncle or friend
Thank you http:www.paternityfraud.com
A woman I have been involved with has recently almost two months ago become sexually addicted, cyber sex addiction. At the outset of her first coming online again she got involved in cyber sex and her addiction started right away and at that outset of this she stopped our relationship. It has only been more recently that I have come to know for sure about her addiction. We lived in different countries but had plans to live together and thoughts of marriage. She has visited me twice and stayed about a month each time. After her last visit to me I was to travel to her and we where going to live together. I kept changing my date for going to be with her for about 3 months which bothered her quite a lot. For those months we talk 'every single day' for about 1-3 hours a day. But because of how it was distrubing her my not getting there yet I told her we should discontinue the relationship because of how it was bothering her my not yet getting there. I said this at that time only because I was a bit frustrated myself at the moment because of my situation of not getting there yet. But for sure wanted to continue our relationship and intended to tell her this. However only a few days later when I spoke with her she told me she was now online a lot meeting different people, men. praticulary on icq which she had never used before then. Immediately after she started online she did not want me to come visit her to live together as we've been planning or to visit her at all. I told her I was coming anyway and she told me can I handle her flirting, online and on the phone. (At this time I had no idea of how fast she got cyber sex addiction and I didn't know anything like this existed.) Not knowing her condition at that time I thought visiting her would be helpful in resolving things between us. I then traveled for the usa to her country to visit her but I was met with resistance from her and her not wanted me to stay at her apartment(which I understand now, because my present in her apartment would interfer with her cybersex online activities). So I left that same day and have been in a neighbooring country, where I am now, exploring something concerning my work. Since that time she had been coming online in different alias names contacting me. Which I know without a single doubt it is her and I have confronted one of these alias online more recently and she became very hostile and aggressive, and in denial. But after a long confrontation with her alias she began 'on and off' admitting it was her and admitted to her cybersex life in an attacking way, but then saying it was not her.***** Here is a qoute of something she said then: "I had this guy last night who was so good, he rocked my world. I had to clean my chair when I was done. it was like he was right there. he is so sensitive to my needs. he knows just where to to touch me, like you never did. and his body is so much better than yours. his dick is at least three inches longer too." (Though our sex life together during the time we were together was quite fulfilling for the both of us.) But at the same time during this 'talk' she was going back and forth in admitting it(this alias) was her. At a couple of different times she said(I quote): " you know, you're really not going about this very well, if you really wanna stop someone with an addciton, you have to confront them face to face. just a little advice for whenever you actually talk to this linda person." Also, "I feel sorry for this Linda person. If you really cared about her you would have walked up to her and told her. I am sure that would have done a lot better. now, you've wasted all this time on me, and I am on a different continent, that you're not gonna try to help her." I am wondering here if she(the real woman behind the alias that i've been involved with) is trying to get me to come in person to deal with her about this addiction? After this confrontation online the next day her a letter telling her not to contact me again until she is ready to stop her addiction and at that I would be willing to come there to help. In this letter I explained to her what I had learned in my research about cybersex addiction and how it affects the person and the during cyber sex the brain and body produces strong chemicals that the person in fact becomes addicted to. I also sent her the website of a bullentin board for people recovering from cybersex addiction. In this letter I told her I would not contact her again after a week time if she has not contacted me ready to move towards ending the addiction. Before that week was up I sent her a second letter just to make sure that she still knew how I feel and felt about her and the strong feelings I had about our relationship. But at the same time I wrote that she can contact me 'only' when she is ready to end the addiction and that I would come there then if she wants. It's been about a week and a half since she would have received the second letter. I have not heard from her to date. (Though a day or two after would have received my 2nd letter I noticed one of her online alias wrote in their profile she was, 'sorry to everyone', 'chatting was addicting and I am going to remove icq from my computer for sure this time'. And the main alias that same day removed all information from her profile. The following day however she replace all the same info back in her profile. And the other alias has removed all what she wrote in her profile about removing icq and seems to still be there.) If anyone would like to talk with me online or write to me about this I would happy to hear from you. My icq# is #172861142; yahoo messenger: sunshineman_3 .
My husband is a software engineer so it has always been necessary to have computers in our home. I have seen a few pornographic photos before but today I logged on to his computer and found typed messages from women in his instant messenger box. I know they couldn't have this address unless he had been chatting online with them, this explains the hours he spends in the basement on his computer. His behavior is different, he is distant and we already had problems in our marriage, I am really tempted to cheat on him and then possibly break things off.
I was on the internet for 5 days straight, sleeping at the keyboard doing instant messaging, then my wife told me that I had changed and she didn't love me anymore... I got off the internet and cried for a further 5 days straight, when I came to, I found my wife on the internet... She still loved me but told me that she didn't so she would get a chance online... *cries* I hate my life, always I wish I was dead...
The computer and the internet is a giant step up. Sort of like around a quarter century ago or later when the citizens band radio's (cb's) were popular with the hillbillies, today the internet is the popular thing. I call it a cb computer internet hillbilly station, or it could be called an internet cb computer station, or however you would arrange the name of the thing, anyway that I look at it, it is always still hillbilly to me.
I have been reading the stories posted here, and see myself in a lot of them. Well, the old me, anyway.
I was a single mom, living in a very small town, with virtually no form of recreation (no YWCA, no malls, movie theaters, etc.).
The internet became my "link to the world." Like so many here, the first thing I would do in the morning is log on, carrying on IM conversations, or visiting my favorite chat room.
I had several "online" relationships. Trouble was, I was honest to a fault, but the men involved (I later found out) were much older, married, with kids, and it was all just a game to them...a salve for their ego. Talk about feeling like you've wasted your life!
My son and my family begged me to spend more time with them, and less time online...but these were my FRIENDS...they understood me.......boy, was I in deep!
I got married a few months ago. Luckily, we spend virtually NO time on the computer at home, unless we need it for research. After having been away from the chat sites for so long, I revisited them, out of morbid curiosity, I guess. I never thought I'd find the same old people...but I did...three years later, there they were...still chatting, still lying. I'm so glad I"m out of it.
It wasn't easy. At times, I felt almost physical withdrawal symptoms. But believe me, it's worth it. Living on the internet is not living at all, regardless of what someone tries to tell you.
Please don't be a dope like me and fall for the lies people tell you online.
I'd be more than happy to correspond with anyone needing support for this growing problem.
My nane is gene and I think I am addicted to the net. It started 2 yrs ago when my ex wife bought me a computer. I was on disibality at the time and spent 12 to 16 hours a day on the net. My wife got fed up and gave me a choice, the net or her and I picked the net. It has gotten worse now. I live for the net. I cant wait to get home at lunch to go on line and when I get home at nite I go on line. My kids hate what I have become and I had the most beautiful girl friend that I met on line and we spent time together in June and she was here for 10 days and broke up with me because of the net. My life has become a total wreck and I dont sleep well at nite, I dont eat right and on weekends all I want to do is go on line. I need help and I am scared because my life is spinning out of control.I am setting up counseling but Im not sure how to kick the addiction.
I would like to order The Internet Addiction Help Book. Please send me ordering information, price, and what other products you have for family help with internet addictions. My home is breaking apart from overuse of the computer by my son and husband. I'm seeking a divorce if the computer doesn't go. What I'm going through is very bad.
Thankyou.

Hi, i have a a
It started back in 1995 when I was working at a place that let you use their internet connection to surf the web. I thought to myself this is a new thing and I'm going to learn it. I was already good at computers, but the net was anew thing. At one point it got so bad that I actually got a copy of the keys cut to the building that the computer was in so I could sneak in there at night and use the machine. One night I was on the net for 10 hours straight! Obviously with the increasing phone bill the company knew something was up and moved the computer away from the building and started charging people for using it. By that time I had left the company and to fuel my addiction I started going round my Dad's house to try and convince him that he needed a computer. Eventually he did buy one and I would go round there all the time and use it. I then registered a .com; which was a good excuse to use my Dad's machine so I could update my site, but I would spend hours on it doing nothing, but general surfing. As soon as I was finished surfing I would quickly say goodbye to my Dad and leave without even having a chat with him about anything else I had been doing in my life at that time. I then bought a computer for home and started using it all the time until I recieved a huge phone bill and I knew I had to cut down a bit. I then stumbled accross "free internet" and that was it! I would arrive home from work and switch my computer on and stay on it until 10pm at night. Friday's I would stay on it until the early hours of the morning and then get up at 6am on the weekends and go on the net all day. I've now started to not want to go to social evenings with family and friends because my addiction is so bad. I've also got a partner who does put up with a whole lot. There have been many rows about the time I spend on the internet and it has started to create a few problems between us. For a while we came to a comprimise whereby I would only go on the net at the weekends, but it soon spiralled back into me using on weekdays as well. I have now registered another .com and I am working hard on that. I have also managed to cut down my internet usage to a couple of days a week and sometimes at the weekend or when my partner is working and I am at home. It is creating a few problems without me going on the net as I am sometimes getting anxious because I think I might be missing something or there might be an important email for me to answer. Deep down I know there isn't anything I am missing and the emails can wait until another day, but it's very hard. I have a wonderful job and a wonderful partner, but it is very hard to keep off the net. I suppose a good thing has happened at work as they have given me full net access to use during lunchtimes so I can get my fill at work and then I don't have to go on my machine at home in the evening's as much. It is getting better and I am not as addicted as I used to be a few years ago, but I do need to cute down. A tip for anyone else who is like me, take it one step at a time and cut down slowly. I suppose it must be like smoking or drinking, you can't cut it out straight away, but if you do it slowly it isn't such a bad thing. Not only that if you have a partner it puts a huge strain on your relationship. I've been lucky, but it was a bit close on some occasions on us splitting up. I hope this helps someone to help themselves and to realise that Internet Addiction is a real thing and they are not alone.
I guess I started when we first got our PC as a christmas present from my parents in 95. I was 15 at the time. I was pretty lonely to begin with-if I did have friends, they were few and very important to me. My parents thought it was a good idea to get AOL, it seemed extremely user friendly and that it would help with homework etc. AOL is too user friendly. I soon discovered chat rooms and what IMs were. I soon discovered what it meant when someone would ask you for cybersex.
I realise I have a problem, I just realised that I was looking at myself when I was looking for information on policing the Internet. I stumbled on Internet Addiction three days ago. By far, the problem was alot worse between 95 and 2000. It got me into so much trouble and has affected me in so many ways.
I realise that I had some emotional problems when I firsy signed on at 15, I almost certainly came away with a helluva lot more at 22. Its been 7 years, and all I have managed to do is get in some sort of control of what I do online. From 15-19 I had cyber sex, mostly with online buddies. My parents became suspicious of what I was doing at around the age of 17. They confronted me all the time, but I flately denied I was doing it and that I had a problem.
For someone that was a virgin, I knew a helluva lot about sex and alot of what I knew was through chat. I have to admit, initatially my friend and I did it because we thought it was highly amusing that a guy (we assumed that it was a guy our age on the other end) could actually get off on us saying "oh baby! oh baby! You make me puurrrr!" But later, I guess for me I developed this sense of commitment, that I would be letting my buddy down if I didnt.
Pedofiles love the internet, they love the kids that they find online. Dirty old men comb the teen and young people's chatrooms. I was certainly no stranger to getting a message by someone who was in his thirties asking if I like to masturbate etc. Some of them wanted to meet. When I was 18, I had this 50 something year old offer to pay me one million US if I would have him a daughter!
I was very stupid. My last year in highschool was absolutely a failure and I didnt care. My life was the Internet. My friends were the Internet. It was MY computer. If my mother said no, I couldnt go online, I would throw a fit. I would be arguementive, hysterical and physically upset. At one point, I was violent towards my sister. She said something about my beloved internet and I punched her so hard that as she was running up the stairs, she tripped and fell.
All i cared about was the computer. I fell hopelessly in love with a guy online named Ray. When he said terrible things to me, making me cry even though it was online, I finally told him that I would prefer we werent together, but remained friends. I was devasted when he said no. This threw my senior year up the creek without a paddle.
I blamed my parents especially my mother for the problems that I was going through. Sure, the emotional problems of being molested at 13 and being told I was a liar by my mother and teachers didnt help. But my mother told the school that I was into pornography, that Ray was violent and abusive. She failed to meantion the reason behind my behavior and that was her.
I have no one else but myself for getting into all over this mess. I was sexually assaulted by an older man who lied to me online saying he was 23 when I was 19. I guess I needed to feel like someone cared about me and he seemed so sympathetic. I later found out he had a fiancee (who he met online) he was 45 and he was a pedofile.
I cant believe that I have been so stupid, yet I cant stay away. Although I have minimised who I talk to (those being friends only from real life) and to a point, the time I use, I still have a problem.
I went to my university's student services to get a referral which they didnt have because its a fairly new thing. I went to a welfare agencies, and nothing. I guess I need a referral from someone tthat knows of any organisations in Victoria, Australia.
Thanks for your time-
I bought my first computer three years ago, and I have been hooked ever since. Everything in my life has changed as a result of this addiction.
When I first wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is turn on is the computer. I do not get coffee, dressed, or even tell my kids hello. Then I log in and just surf... I do not accomplish anything. I am student in Microsoft and C++, and I am falling behind. That is ironic because I am falling behind on what I am addicted to in the first place.
My job performance has fallen, I do not visit or spend time with my friends or family. When I go out, shop, do my work, or whatever else I need to do during the day all I ever think about is logging on again and cannot think about anything else. I try getting the thoughts out of my head, but the withdrawl away from the computer gets worse. These symptoms include sweats, obsessive thoughts, shaking, "butterflies" (the kind you get when you anticipate when you want something), and even anger.
When I log in, I get a euphoria like I am the king of the world and I am in full control. I know I can be anybody I want to be, do anything I want to do, and say whatever I want to say without cosequence. I surf aimlessly, chat, play with applications, play a game, download music, and read information. Oh how I love the information. I read about the news, jokes, facts, and other stuff that does not pertain to my life or real life whatsoever... it does not help for school, and I am loving every second of it. Meanwhile, my kids are being neglected, the housework is not getting done, I am not spending time with friends, God, and most of all, my family. I know this in the back of my head when doing it, but I do not care while I am getting my "fix." After I ger my "fix" then the cycle is completed... I feel guilty, paranoid, depressed, angry and am very apologetic. I have told my family before I would stop, but now they do not believe me... and why should they? I do not keep my promises. I even lie because of the computer. My life is in a downspiral and cannot help myself.
I know I need help, and I am addicted to the computer. Help me, please.
My husband is always on-line playing a game called Unreal and or on the internet downloading game maps and or finding out more information on the game. He does this every night when we are all a sleep or when I fall asleep, he is on-line "so-called" caring for the chidren. He dose not go one that often when I am awake. But I know he is ON because new maps are downloaded and the Unreal game CD is put in the CD drive. This is driving me crazy because I don't get any help with the children and I feel like I am doing it all. When I am awake he shows me that he is a hard worker and is not doing things on the computer but I know he is up til 4:00am playing games and or searching on-line or talking to email. Then he wakes up tired or says he has a sleep disorder, because he is also falling asleep when I am awake and caring for the children. I don't know what to do.

My internet addiction story started in high school. I began getting interested in online porn because the university nearby had a high speed connection. From there it escalated to news, irc, etc. etc. The nature of my addiction basically insured that I had no friends, or was wary of becoming friends with those I thought knew about my secret. This continued through 4 years of college. Since I used general access computers, I was constantly erasing and building up my "collection". I knew there was never any value in doing it. In high school I was the top of my class: 3.9, 1590 SAT. In college I barely scraped by, doing good work infrequently. I feel I have wasted some of my talent as a musician and philosopher surfing internet porn. Here are a few observations about why the internet is addictive: 1. The internet is a modified reality. Unlike drugs, the internet itself as a medium is not neces- sarily addictive. One can have perfectly positive experiences of the internet, especially when trying to locate information. However when the internet "poses" as an experience, and not a source of information, then it becomes addictive. Porn is particularly likely to become an "imitation" experience because our most basic desires are titillated by it. Why is an "imitation" reality addictive? This will be addressed later. 2. The internet is "self-forgetful". The internet itself has no memory. When a user logs on to a chat room, it is only the people in the chat room who might recognize him. The chat room itself has no physical reality which might suggest that human beings "inhabit" it. Thus, it cannot suffer abuse, neglect, or otherwise reflect the results of the addiction on the addict. The inter- net never tells you that it is sick of being abused. The same could be true of the body of an addict of traditional drugs, under certain circumstances. The body of an addict constantly erases the notion that the addiction is destructive to it. The addict forgets the true nature of the habit each time he/she needs a "hit". To stop being addicted, the drug or internet addict must realize (remember) the true nature of the addiction in the midst of needing a hit, or otherwise avoid the source of the addiction. It is imperative that the addict have a degree of choice in the matter, or they will return to the addiction when given the opportunity. 3. The internet is a "box". When you are browsing the internet, you are automatically looking at either images or text. Ultimately even the images are textual--since they are encoded information. As a result, the internet only partially represents reality. For the most part it sharply limits the resolution with which one can have an experience using it. When I am chatting with an internet partner, I only have their words to tell me how they feel about me. I don't have expressions. Even when (through webcam) I can see faces, I see only what the camera tells me--and what the webcam user on the other side chooses to reveal. Most importantly, however, the feelings and experiences that result from the internet can be nothing more than "boxed" versions of the real thing. When our hopes and/or deepest desires are invested in a "box", then we become the box itself. People who surf the internet compulsively for years can become like caricatures of themselves, or worse, inverted, twisted versions.
Finally, to summarize: The internet is a "modified" reality which is self-forgetting, and limiting in its ability to render reality. Addictive behavior is particularly likely when this modified reality is forced to serve as a complete, or continuous reality. We often choose a limited reality over an unlimited one because it serves the interests of the ego. The ego always wants to be "the same" regardless of what is happening. It is invested in maintaining the boundaries of identity, and all of the emotional cues which accompany past or present experiences. When the opportunity to engage in addiction presents itself, the ego says "do it", because doing it has become a part of your self-limiting concept of identity. In order to overcome addiction, what is needed is to overcome the ego, and the aspects of addiction I outlined above. Instead of having "fake" reality, choose real reality. Instead of forgetting constantly, choose to always remember the truth. And finally, instead of being bound by "identity", become freed by a continous and changing experience. Experience is the only non-addictive substance. When had truly and to the fullest, it is so varied that no one aspect of it is there long enough, to cause addiction.
I used to be #1 student in my class. I was also great at Soccer and skiing. Girls would ask me out often. I became addicted to on-line gaming. I just stopped doing everything else in my life except gaming. My only social relationships are now the ones I have with on-line friends
Hi my name is Genevieve
I am a recovered internet addict. I went cold turkey. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. Internet chat rooms took over my life literally. I was like in a world of my own. I was spending 6 and half hours, five days a week on the damn thing...WHAT A WASTE that was.

My Post on this Message Board. All responses and advice welcome !
My husband ia an internet addict and talks to strange men thinking it's fun and fantasy when in reality it's real women, real bonds forming and a reality. He gets hostile at me for saying this and thinks I'm taking it out of proportion.
After reading all your posts with people that have the same problem, I realize I'm normal, he's a sleaze and he's history if he don't stop.
That's my cure for the problem, out he goes.
I don't need someone reversing it on me. All you guys reading this should know that and stop reversing the situation.
It's not fun or fantasy to talk to the opposite sex and form online bonds, it's reality and a hard one at that, that you'll wake up to when you lose your home, lose your family and be with only your online friends.

My husband and I have been married only a year. He plays a game called Ever Quest, and that is where he spends most of his time. I feel as if the computer is more important than I am, and I feel as if he loves the computer more than he does me. I have tried numerous times to get him to get off of the computer, but he just gets angry at me and screams at me that there isn't a problem.
I am so tired of seeing the back of my husbands head, and I do love him, but I don't know how much longer I can live my life like this.
He is a computer technitian for a bank, and one would think that he would get tired of seeing computers. Nope, not him...he comes home from work and jumps right onto that computer.
We never go anywhere together any more, or do anything. It has gotten so bad that it is involving more than just our day lives.
I just wish there was something that I could do, I don't want to see our marriage go down the drain, but it seems that it is going to go there anyways, especially if he refuses to help!
Someone please help my husband and I!
