Let's do some math...300,000,000 Citizens, Approx. 16% between 18-21 (48,000,000). Lets say 40% (maybe higher or lower) of them want college education (7,680,000). 10% get schlorships (768,000 - let's say 3% get full=23,400), 10% get Grants and/or Loans (768,000). That leaves the 20% (6,144,000) who are not eligible or dont have the resources to learn/or Get either. 80 billion (PLUS MORE..if you cant taxes also) was spent on a war. Im not saying give all that money away to College Education ....This all im saying!!!

I may have missed some things...Not very good at math!!! This is just Estimates. Actually i think the College Percentage is lower then 40%..Meaning MORE MONEY!!!

80,000,000,000/6,144,000= $13,000 (each) put to American kids who cant catch a break financially for school.

80,000,000,000/7,680,000=$10,416 (each) can be added to grant money, so parents/students wont have such much money to pay back to banks/loans.

You were walking down the street and saw a man in front and he dropped his wallet on the floor, you pick the wallet and it is bulging with cash well over £2000/ $4000 USD or 6000 euro. But before you can catch up with him he has got into his car a brand new top of the range rolls royce and set off. The wallet has no name or address in it. Do you

A) Keep the money and think its a nice windfall and the person looked wealthy so wouldn't miss the money

B) Take the wallet to the local police station and hope if it isn't recovered after 6 months you will receive the contents

C) Give the money to charity because you don't want the guilt of keeping the money and you don't want to hand it in.

Personally I would hand it in to the police, i am not a wealthy person but i couldn't take the guilt of keeping it.

When I lived in Chicago, I was told it was a gang sign (black head scarves for one gang, white for another). I don't know if it's just a fashion statement, since the rappers seem to dress like this in their videos. Regardless, it's a little intimidating.

Thanks for the info. I've needed to take the train with my new job, and I'd like to try and understand the subculture around me.

An answerer claims that there are McDonald's restaurants in New Orleans starting at $15/hr. Is this true? If so, can someone provide any specifics, like the address or phone number of the restaurant?

I'm not sure I believe this statement, and would like to call a restaurant to confirm.

So... I'm wondering where you get those little plastic baggies that drugs dealers use. Who makes them? Where can you buy them? I'm just a curious sock wondering, but I'm serious. I asked some friends and no one knew the answer!

In all the stories that have been on the TV and in the newspapers about Steve's death, his best friend Wes, has never been mentioned. Are they not friends anymore? The news reports mention Terri and their children and even Steve's dad, but nothing is ever said about Wes. They had been such close friends. I am deeply saddened by Steve's death. Such a terrible loss.
