I think it takes advantage of the poor. Poor people spend so much money on the lottery. A lot more than the middle class and the rich. They are spending their hard earned money because of despair and false hope. The middle class and rich make enough that they can invest in real estate or start a business. Poor people are in a predicament where any money they make isnt enough to keep up with inflation. Then rich politicans come a long , to raise their salaries they created this sceam to raise money. Government spending hasn't lowered a bit, so taxes stay the same. The odds of winning are at least a million to one which is like 10 times harder then private gambling casino's. The money raised is supposed to go to education. I remember when they first introduced the lottery when i was in high school. 22 years later there a douzes of lottery's, billions more raised, higher taxes and schools arent in any better shape.

Recruit people because there's so much information out there about the military? Let's face it, young people are more informed now due the internet. They can simply Google the military. Recruiter can't just sucker them into joining the military. Before the rise of the internet, recruiters probably told unimformed young people all kinds of things to get them to join. Now young people can Google anything recruiters tell them so they can make an informed decision.

a relative had co-signed on a credit card for me.... the relative found out that i had accidentally gone over the credit limit (and it's a big limit) i haven't talked to the relative yet about it, but i do know that the relative knows for sure that it was over limit.... i don't know what to do or what to say to the relative about why it's over limit.. i plan on telling the truth, that i just over spend and that i am trying to get out of my hole.... i don't think she'll be all p*ssed off about it, but i do think she'll be disappointed and a little mad.. what do i do!?!?!?!?! i need to get out of this mess!!!! if you were the relative, what could i do or say to make you feel better about what i have done???? I am REALLY sorry and fully intend to pay everything off (and have been paying on it for a while, never late or anything like that....) thanks!

A theist believes in god (or gods)

An atheist does not believe in god (so must have some idea what theists mean by god)

An agnostic doesn't know if god exists, so again, must have some idea what 'god' means

What do you call someone like me who, honestly, has no conception what 'god' means, beyond a meaningless syllable?

Seriously!

I can't stand this show and don't understand why it is still on the air. Its even worse than Seinfeld which was a show about narcisstic people and wasn't funny either.

ok, it was shut down at night, the next morning tried to start it up and it would get to windows loading screen and look like it was booting up, and all of a sudden went blank and the indicator light that shows its on starts blinking, kept turning it off and on until I finally got it started in safe mode ran a virus scan, and it found nothing, bought external hard drive to back up music and pictures, which wasnt easy to do, kept freezing, but got them backed up, then ran a disk check, it shut down on that 3 or 4 times before I finally got the disk check to run all the way through, I couldnt get it boot up in normal mode but one time, took the cover off and blew out the dust but that didnt help either, now it automatically within 2 sec. goes back to blinking indicater light, all the fans are working took cover off to clean some more dust out of it and checked the fans, it runs long enough for me to see the fans running, but still not getting it boot up. No restore disks came with it
