Critiques of the WWE’s “Wellness Program” — What Is Wrong With This Picture?
Question by Whitewolfct: Critiques of the WWE’s “Wellness Program” — what is wrong with this picture?
Since Jeff Hardy is the current topic of the day, I just thought I’d bring up a related and perhaps more important issue and question. Concerning WWE’s “Wellness Program” (see link for details), do you think there are problems with the way the WWE is dealing with substance abuse? It seems to me like the Wellness program is more of a patch-up job than a real solution. Too many wrestlers have been lost and too many more are getting addicted to steroids, drugs, GH, painkillers, et cetera — are random testing and mandatory suspensions real solutions? Do they merely pay lip service to much bigger problems that the WWE isn’t able or willing to deal with?

Question by M:): What does the word “child abuse” mean to you?
What does the word child abuse mean to you?
Why does it happen?
Please be specific.
Include ways how it happen & by who?
Best answer:
Answer by Suger smack
It means being mean or cruel to a child.
It happens for many reasons and some abuse is not as bad as others (although it’s all bad.)
I think the main reason it happens is people are immature and overwhelmed. I think the second biggest reason is some parents might be on drugs. It can happen to any child and from anyone but mostly caregivers like parents or babysitters, nannies and grandparents.
How Do You Know Which Men Are “programmed” to Cheat?
Question by !: How do you know which men are “programmed” to cheat?
Okay, so my best friend has a baby with the guy she’s been dating fo rliek three years, and they are moving in together and everything. The thing is, he has cheated on her three times. And had sex with other people when they were separated, “but he still loved her”.
So, I think he’s a piece of crap, and most importantly, an unfit father. She’s just one of those people who can’t let go because I think she believes that no one else will want her since she’s so young with a child.
