I never lend money either. If someone really needs it I give it. I think there was a section in "keep the aspidistra flying" about how lending or receiving loaned money can lead to soured relationships, but I can't be bothered to find it.

To me, although distasteful, I don't think the guy deserves a criminal record for something like that.
Why not?
She didn't ask him to do it, yet he done it. That's a criminal offence.

My brother isn't nearly that bad, but he has his moments. Now my brother makes a lot of money, and he like to buy expensive things. Likes to show off his $3,200 custom one-of-only-25 watch and brag about it, and worries hand over foot about getting a new car cool enough (nevermind that he has kids and that shouldn't be a priority).

But hey, whatever, it's his life.

The thing that gets me is when he get's mad at me for not throwing money around like I was made of it. He wanted me to go to some $150 show one night, and I said no because it was too expensive for me. I'm going to college and have very limited funds that I can't just blow on Medieval Times every weekend. I have to think about everything in terms of "is it worth it, and can I afford it", and he gets mad and tells me "You know if there's one thing I've learned in my life it's that chapenss is not an attractive trait. Stop being so cheap."

And then he drags his feet when it comes to paying back our parents for a big expensive meal he made them buy, and all the expensive children supplies over the holidays (not presents, but pullups and diapers), when they don't make even a quarter of what he does and barely scraqe by each month.

Not the same magnitude, though it's a lesser version of the crime I mentioned.

Wild guess but I assume it's because they have the potential to be useful, but without someones help they're completely useless. Just like real tools are useless until someone uses it.

Are you sure? To me it sounds like the tool and the girls come from pretty different backgrounds, with him belonging in a fancy club in a large city rather than some small town (doesn't necessarily mean that he's from the city, just talking about personality). That means there might be cultural differences since a nation's culture is not homogeneus, and what signals the girls gave him are not clear in the OP. With some groups of girls "bold" advances are appreciated. Had you done the same to several kinds of girls you would probably have a portion who'd appreciate it rather than get pissed. And also, behaviour which was "just being nice" in her eyes might have been flirting to him.

Not the same magnitude, though it's a lesser version of the crime I mentioned.
Wouldn't her reaction be a lesser version of attempted murder then? After all the only thing you'd need to change in the scenario would be to put a rock in her hand, while he would have to do something pretty different to [censored] her.

What was your point?
That it wasn't a form of sixual assault or that he should get away with it because he's from a different background?
[censored] that, he should be done like anyone else regardless of his culture/background etc

Wouldn't her reaction be a lesser version of attempted murder then? After all the only thing you'd need to change in the scenario would be to put a rock in her hand, while he would have to do something pretty different to [censored] her.
...Yes?
You just added an imaginary rock to the scenario in order to make the "attempted murder".
For the guy to [censored] her he just needs to pull out his dike, which I'd assume he is capable of doing.
Though her slap was 'assault' it was done in self-defense and she'd be let go because of this which is good, however he groped her, if thats the right word, without her permission which constitutes as sixual assault. Are you defending sixual predators?

Oh Bethesda forums you cheeky bastards and your hijinks. Now with 50% more attempted defense of sixual predators.

This guy would be out the door, I might be reasonable and talk to him before doing this. Or I might not.

The key difference is whether it's a wanted or an unwanted advance. One kind of behaviour can mean different things to different people. If she behaved in such a way that would have been akin to "inviting" had it been one of the girls he's normally around, then how is he supposed to know any better? I doubt he can read minds. And I'm not defending sixual predators or anything of the kind. It's quite possible that he's a total ass when it comes to women too, and don't care about whether they wish for his advances or not, but it's also possible that he lacked malicious intent. My point is that we should know more about the circumstances before tying a noose. And for the record, I'm not in favor of his behaviour either way but I don't do mistake of automatically assuming that the whole world thinks the way I do.

Hmmm...I should introduce your cousin to my girlfriends cousin. Except this one has the added bonus of being racist, sixist and ignorantly opinionated like you would not believe. To top it off the guy is a rich spoiled wannabe super Christian who constantly preaches(incorrectly) and contradicts himself at every opportunity. The guys face belongs next to hypocrisy in the dictionary. I don't mind Christians btw or anyone of most religious affiliations(unless you are a damned Thuggee!!!) but this guy..

.I have lost my temper and beat up the guy for some of the drivel that comes from his mouth a few times. Insulting every woman he sees, insulting old women and even saying sixist things to my gf and in front of me no less!!(guess what caused his beating?)

It's like I could not construct a more worthless antagonistic human being!

Feels good to vent...

And that's why you should never let extended family stay at your house. Their always such a bother.

Personally, I don't see what's wrong with that. Although I personally wouldn't require interest payments of a family member, setting things out formally in that fashion helps to ensure you'll actually be paid back by the borrower. Proper documentation also ensure that you have something more concrete than an oral contract should you enter into a legal dispute over the loan. (the mere existence of an oral contract is very hard to prove in court, much less its terms and conditions) I don't see why acting "like it was a bank loan" should constitute an impingement of their character when it's a completely sound financial practice on their part. Their not under any obligation to give your father a loan anyway, they could have just as easily taken my approach to such matters and refused out of hand.
Interesting fact: in ancient Jewish law family members were forbidden from charging each other interest on loans. It was considered ungracious and greedy to take advantage of your family members in that way.

So while I see the logic in the things you've said, ultimately it doesn't put them in any kind of a favorable light.
