Has shoplifting actually decreased with the advent of cameras? Or has it just become more exciting and challenging? How many items per week do you believe the average shoplifter takes? Is there a group, club or association for habitual shoplifters anywhere, where notes and experiences may be shared?

Is there any reason for a man to get married anymore (and don't say love)?

Average marriage length: 8 years
Divorce rate: 50%
66% of divorces are initiated by women.
What reason does a man have to get married when it is likely he will get divorced and the courts will financially rape him of his belongings and his children? Is it worth the risk anymore?

Which group do you think is more hate and stereotyped in this country today, blacks or Christians(read first)?

I can't believe all of the hateful anti-Christian and anti-black crap that is being spewed out on just this website. Christians are unjustly stereotyped or ridiculed for standing up for what's right, and blacks are stereotyped even worse then we ever were in the past and then there's the sugarcoated Democrat type racism like welfare and affirmative action that have caused way more problems for blacks then there ever were to begin with, and blacks like me who are actually trying to fix these problems are being labeled as racists and uncle toms? Give me a f*cking break! And as far as intolerance of Christians goes, you people call Christians intolerant just for standing up for what's right when you yourselves are being incredibly bigoted and intolerant of Christians yourselves. Smell the hypcorisy.

Looking to help some help themselves?

I need input in trying to help a Nonprofit group(s) in the CNY area obtain funds to assist in their ability to help the community. I offered my marketing resources, grant research and writing and volunteering my services for free for a whole 3-years. I do not live in the city but would like to. I would travel 15 miles each way to attend community meetings just to find out how I could be of assistance I told them my services would be free until they got past the ground stages, then we could discuss my fees which would have been low and put back into the community.. They then said we are not there yet and would not need such services until they found a building to purchase for what we are trying to do which is still not determined. They currently have a a very small budget of less than $20k and have a 503c status in real estate which would be a great help in the area. Not sure if I should walk away from them or continue to try and help in lieu of their ignorance?
