What this cop did is DISGUSTING!

Matthew Luckhurst, an officer in the San Antonio Police Department, has been fired for giving a homeless person a fecal sandwich. Yuck!

The five-year veteran of the force allegedly bragged to a fellow officer that he had picked up some feces, placed it in a slice of bread and put it in a Styrofoam container next to the homeless man. Police have searched for the homeless individual, but their efforts have been unsuccessful thus far.

Internal affairs was informed of the incident in July after another officer reported Luckhurst's actions to his supervisor. It was later recommended that Luckhurst be placed on indefinite suspension.

This was nothing short of a vile and disgusting act on Luckhurst's part. I have never heard of anyone -- let alone a cop responsible for upholding the law and respecting each and every citizen of the community -- do something so disgraceful. I couldn't be happier that the guy was fired.

I sincerely hope they can track the homeless man down, give him a hot meal, and help him find shelter. I also hope the man got a whiff of the fecal matter and disposed of it before even coming close to ingesting the waste.

Homeless people have enough problems to contend with: hunger; disease; having to wander dank, dangerous streets; coldness and/or wetness resulting from a lack of clothes; and so on. Giving them a fecal sandwich won't help their cause; if anything, it could make them very sick -- possibly necessitating a hospital visit.

This cop should be ashamed of himself. Not even unruly children would stoop so low. Karma will surely kick him in the rear end for what he did. I'd be shocked if he didn't lose his badge for good. Any police department in the country would be crazy to hire Luckhurst in light of his outrageous, unseemly behavior.

What's your take? Do you agree this cop's actions are inconceivable?

This will spell the end of your relationship

When asked to think about the most common culprits for a relationship's going south, most people will point to cheating, complacency, and taking one's partner for granted. While these are all valid -- and documented in various posts on this blog -- there are certain habits on the part of partners that may not kill the relationship right away, but cause it to erode more gradually. Among the most egregious of these is expecting your significant other to be perfect. They pick at your follies any chance they get. Nothing you do is ever good enough. In fact, you will never measure up to an ex, neighbor, or accomplished co-worker. Perhaps this all sounds a bit familiar. When you feel as though you're constantly being put under the microscope, it can inflict lasting damage on the relationship and your self-esteem. You're walking on eggshells all the time, praying you don't say or do something that's going to trigger your partner. This is no way to live, let alone ca

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n

Misconceptions about quiet people

Earlier today, I came across a Facebook page that features motivational quotes intended to improve people's moods and enhance their overall self-esteem. Interestingly, I noticed two quotes that focus specifically on quiet people: "Be afraid of quiet people; they're the ones who actually think." "The quietest people have the loudest minds." I've observed that most people's views of quiet individuals can fall under one of two categories: 1. The ones who say quiet people are antisocial, suspicious, snobbish, and/or full of themselves. 2. The people who say their introspective nature and propensity to be deep in thought makes them smarter than their more garrulous peers. The quotes above speak to this mindset. As an introvert known to be quiet at work and at social functions where I might not know anyone, I feel I'm well positioned to dispel any inaccuracies surrounding quiet folks. First of all, the above statements misguidedly put
