I love my boyfriend but don't love his smoking pot addiction

Jul 20, 2009 - My boyfriend of over 3 years has been smoking pot since he was a teenager. I knew this before we started dating, but really thought he would quit by now. He is now 32 y/o and still smokes multiple times a day. - 21 Comments

He's great, but he did something terrible...

Nov 04, 2009 - I have been seeing my boyfriend for around 9 months now, 4 of which have been in a long-distance relationship as I moved away to go to graduate school.  He's extremely sweet, thinks I walk on water, and clearly sees our relationship as a long-term experience.  But...I have some problems with his past behavior.  You see, he told me a couple months after we started dating that he used to smoke pot every day for years, and that he was still doing this when he met me.  I'm completely naive when it comes to things like this (I'm kind of a goody-two-shoes, and I like it that way), but he said that he was trying to stop doing it, and I believed him.  I found out just before I moved away that, in addition to smoking pot and doing other very dangerous drugs in the past, he also used to sell them.  To me, this is completely and utterly WRONG on so many levels.  I thought that I could deal with it, and I feel guilty for judging him for things that he's done in the past, but I think that my knowledge of this combined with the geographic distance between us is really hindering my desire to continue with our relationship.  I don't want to be intimate with him when I do see him, possibly because I feel like he has exhibited poor moral judgement.  And even though he doesn't personally sell drugs anymore, I know that he does tell his friends who to call when they want a fix. Should I try to make things work out, or should I bail?  I think that there are other incompatabilities in what we're looking for in a relationship as well, but this difference in values is the one staring me in the face right now. - 16 Comments

Rasmussen: What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls

Oct 24, 2009 - These days, political turmoil isn’t a one-way street. President Obama’s mediocre approval ratings and the Democrats’ internal battling over the details of the health care reform plan are the obvious headline-grabbers, but the opposition party has troubles of its own. Just 15% of Republicans who plan to vote in 2012 state primaries say the party’s representatives in Congress have done a good job of representing GOP values. - 1 Comment

The green czar affair should put the final lie to The Times’ ‘objectivity’

Sep 13, 2009 - Van Jones — unfit for print The green czar affair should put the final lie to The Times’ ‘objectivity’ By KYLE SMITH Last Updated: 3:51 AM, September 13, 2009 Posted: 1:10 AM, September 13, 2009 “This is not an excuse,” the managing editor of The New York Times said after offering the following excuse for completely missing the Van Jones story, except in a blog post: “Our Washington bureau was somewhat short-staffed during the height of the pre-Labor Day vacation period.”<p> </p><br> Here’s how long-staffed The New York Times actually is. Long after Glenn Beck reported — back in July — that Jones was history’s first communist czar, and even after Gateway Pundit reported, on Sept. 3, that Jones had signed a wackadoodle 9/11 “truther” petition, The Times sent two reporters to Boston (in a story published Friday, Sept. - 2 Comments
