Sometimes I believe a lot of Americans' priorities are so screwed up it's impossible to change anything. I often wonder why we spend so much money on our military when so much of that money could be spent on finding cures for diseases, investing in productive enterprises in developing countries, research into clean sources of energy, providing people with adequate healthcare and education, etc. It seems that a lot of people in the US are stuck on this idea that terrorism is the only issue that matters and American pride is more important than the lives of millions of people around the world who are dying of disease and poverty. I am a proud American, yet I believe we are utilizing our resources in unwise, immoral ways. With all the money spent on the military, you'd think we could pay our soldiers better! Where is all this money going? Do we need to get our heads out of the sand and realize that our national security has been hurt by this war and that other issues exist?

Do you think it's time to limit senators to two terms same as the president. Once they get elected most are hard to unseat because of the money backing them.

What would you recommend concealing... i like the size of the Kel Tec but realize that there isn't really anything comparable size wise. I'm a bigger guy, weight about 250 so comfort is a concern for me. I like the fact that i can carry the Kel Tec in my front pocket in it's pocket holster and it looks like a wallet. I have a Beretta 92FS and a Springfield XD 40cal but neither conceal well. I also want to avoid Sig Sauer prices... a buddy recommened a Kahr PM 9mm with a 3in barrel but those go for about $700-800. Looking for some suggestions.

My husband and I just got a cat and we are keeping her in our room for a few days while she gets used to everything but the problem is she wakes us up all night (I know cats are nocturnal and this is natural) but we really need sleep and she's crawling all over us while we are trying to sleep

I am the south. Not your sterotypical south, but pine trees, fried chicken, cotton, livin' seven miles from your mama. I love all those things. Do you love yours?

Most people feel the need to believe in a higher power, even if it is a living person. Why don't you feel this need and do you feel proud you are one of the few?

I asked this question before and got answers from very religous people using religion and God as a main argument...and that's fine I'd just like to hear what atheists or other people who do not wish to include religion in their answer....so:

Where does all of this negative and hateful energy come from?
