I bought a computer from a small business in Tuscaloosa, AL. It never really worked right & the business owner was really sketchy, but I dealt with it. Well, after 2 years my computer wouldn't even turn on so I took it to him & he said he would sell it for me & give me the money. I have called him, & called him & he always puts me off. Like, "I'm busy right this second, let me call you back." and then he never will. Things like that. It has been about 3 months since my computer was "sold" & he was supposed to give me $200 for it. I am so fed up & went to the Better Business Bureau online & saw where he already has 12 complaints filed against him & he has not responded to any of them. So obviously this guy is some kind of scam artist. He has thrown excuses after excuses such as, "My dad is in the hospital." Which has made me postpone things. However, I am determined to get my money by this Fri. What can I say to him that will scare him? Or who can I call locally to get info. on this?Thx

I see the same faces (avatar) over and over saying basically the same thing. I also see ridiculously offensive racial slurs.. that almost seem to out there to be genuine.. are we all taking part in a giant social litmus test?

PS.. just because someone asks a question doesn't mean that they've come to any conclusion.. I for one am fascinated by the level of hostility that is displayed in political chat groups (watch the answers from this one), but I wonder if it isn't just a release like laughing or crying. A necessary vent for a frustrated planet..

Simple, because, theres not oil or anything of interests in those countries. The war on "Terror" pleaseee, thats an insult for the worlds comunitys intelligence.

First of all they started in afghanistan and ended up in irak !!! .... did they lost the map or something. oh no sorry ...... I got to continue what daddy left.

Second: Where the hell is Osama ???

Third: Where the hell are the Weapons of Mass Destruction ??

And then you wonder why the world hate the us, simple, they say they wanna help ..... but what they truly mean is they wanna have something from that and thats the nicest thing to do it.

If you really wanna free the world from terror, go to cuba, go to colombia and stop all those narcos that are getting richer and richer with all the drugs sold in US.

IF YOU REALLY WANNA HELP THE WORLD HELP THEM AND DONT TAKE FROM THE LITTLE ONES, THAT LITTLE THEY HAVE.

do you think we the filthy rich (as you all call us) care about you? Why do you waste your time debating nonsense? Do you all actually think that writing to your congressmen or writing your opinions on the internet will make a difference? No matter how hard you all try, we will always be able to buy off the politicians. You all elect them, they pass some of the laws you all demand, and we pay them not to enforce them. For all of you who say that politicians work for us the big companies, you all are correct. Why do we hire illegal immigrants? We do it because we can. The U.S. government is not a socialist one, companies are owned by individuals so they can’t tell us what to do. We refuse to higher the wages of low skilled workers, that is why most of us do not hire American citizens. American citizens demand too much for their low working skills. Is it our fault that you all didn’t go to a university and get well educated so you could have a good paying job? Do you all think that if all the illegal immigrants were deported and the government would raise the federal minimum wage, you all would live better off? The answer is no. Even if the government raised the minimum wage, we the corporations would have to raise the cost of products you all buy. The result would be the same. This are basics of economics. They shouldn’t have to teach this in economics because it is common sense. This goes for all those who debate other issues also. My advice to you all is to not waste your time. Get educated. And I’m sorry for breaking some of you peoples heart but I was only speaking the truth. This will be the only message I will post and this is the first and only time I will post it. I will not waste my time with you all, you all are not worth my time. I just thought you would all want to hear the truth.

Israel starting bombing Lebanon today. Israel stated the abduction of 2 of their soldiers by them was an act of war.

I'm thinking that we are going to let/hope the whole N.Korea and Iran thing chills but that we can't sit by and watch one of our allies go to war without helping?

What do you guys think?

If we have a defined "National Interest", what is it? What is used as a basis for the definition? Are we currently acting, throughout the world, in our national interest politically, economically, or culturally?

I have searched far and wide to find out if I am supposed to write out "Second" before Lieutenant, United States Marine Corps on our wedding invitations. Can anyone help me to find the correct answer to this. The service etiquette book does not specify. And I have been told both with and without the designation of "First" or "Second" is correct. Thank You.

Is he worth worrying about? Or should we just sit back and wait? How does the rest of the world feel? I'm a US Marine with 30 years experiance and I'm curious, how do you feel? He lives in a mansion while many of his people are starving. Should we take him out? Or should we listen to the UN and continue playing games? While the people of North Korea suffer, I ask you what should we do? MGSGT Woodall. Retired USMC
