bad things
I am not much of a philosopher, but I have noticed one thing that continues to prove true. If you do bad things, you invite bad things to happen to you.
Exhibit A: Kobe Bryant
Regardless of his guilt or innocence, he was cheating on his wife. If he hadn't been cheating on his wife, he would never have been in a position where he would have to defend himself against the accusation of rape.
Exhibit B: Scott Peterson
He was a cheater and a liar. If he hadn't been cheating or if he hadn't lied about being a cheater when his wife went missing or if he hadn't continued to cheat and lie as everyone was looking for his missing wife, he might not be on trial right now for the murder of his wife and unborn child. Or, if he hadn't killed his wife, he might not be on trial.
Exhibit C: James McGreevy
"I am a gay American." Fantastic. Good for you. The problem here is that you are married to a straight, female American with some American children and you are the governor of the American state of New Jersey. If you hadn't been fooling around on your wife and getting your lover cushy jobs that he didn't deserve, you wouldn't have had to resign from office and come out to the country the way that you did. Alternately, if you hadn't already been involved in numerous political scandals, your constituents might have been more forgiving.
Another lesson to be learned from these examples: Cheaters never prosper.

I wish that were true... then conversely if you do good things, you invite good things to happen to you... thus far, not worked in my world. :) I guess good things are relative though... I do have a job blah blah blah happycakes.
That McGreevey guy... they totally would've been forgiving if he hadn't done the bad things...
I'd also like to point out that these are all men. :)
Although we do have Mary Kay Letourneau who had sex with a child and according to the media this is 'love' (if it were a man it would not be) and since she couldn't stay away from him, she went to jail. Now she can't work with kids ever again (big freaking surprise) which negates her entire career as a teacher and really... when you are Mary Kay Letourneau what do you do? Everybody knows your name.
I think the converse is true. Two examples...
Example 1: Joanne volunteered at the book thing last year and got a boyfriend out of it for awhile.
Example 2: Michelle helped out a nice lady with her computer and got a patio umbrella out of it.
You were clearly the winner between those two examples. :D All things considered...
