There are the arguments against paying for the lazy and drug addicted, but I will take it one step further. Why should we pay for those who could sacrifice other things. The "poor" in America have cell phones, nice cars, cable television, etc. The poor in other countries have none of these, and occasionally get food with their meals.

When I moved out of my parents home, I paid my own way through college with grants, scholarships, and loans, and a full-time job. I only attained an associates degree at the time, then I worked for another 3 years at an average of 80 hours a week. Then I started a business. During these 10 years, I did not have a car, phone, cable TV, nothing. I lived 10 years like few would so I can live the rest of my life like few can. Why should I pay for those not willing to make the same sacrifices?

Just a theory that I've kinda seen a trend on. Not to insult women, but basically permiscuous men (players) seem to have girls when they become parents. The reason? To show them what the mother's father went through when his girl grew up. I think it's God's little sense of humor. What do you think?

Like someone you knew personally who ever had anything that could remotely be considered a job? Who old was this person and why didn't they have a job?

She is a complete invalid and everything has to be done for her...including feeding, toileting, showing. My heart breaks for her. Any suggestions on improving the quality of her life would be appreciated.

My boyfriend is in the military and he wants me to move there with him. I've heard the city is extremely run down. I've also heard people say that many of the residents are extremely poor because they just came from over the border.

Is that true?

I recently joined the Mensa board, but got kicked out. They ask incredibly boring questions like, "Who are the greatest intellectuals alive today" or "Prove that free will exists" or "With which great mind would you like to spend one hour if you could?" I typically responded with my own brand of humor.

Here is how I met my "demise." I simply dared to argue that the Bill of Rights itself gives us no rights. Whether I am right or wrong, I somehow thought Mensans would at least analyze my argument. Instead, the best they could say is that it was "lengthy B.S." The next thing I knew, I was kicked off their site.

Now I understand that IQ really does count for so little. It must feel good to be as stupid as a Mensan. I was dumn enough to give them my money, but now I want my money back.

I generally have thoughts of suicide that greatly intensify during the holiday season. I have never had it hit with the intensity this early in the year. I just heard a song from an album my friend burned for my. The artist is Townes Van Zandt. The song is "Like a Summer Thursday". My ex-wife's name was Crystal. Please read the lyrics. This is killing me...maybe literally. Help!

Her face was crystal, Fair and fine
Her breath was morning, Her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter, Her touch divine
Her face was crystal, And she was mine
If only she, Could feel my pain
But feelin is a burden, She cant sustain
So like a summer thursday, I cry for rain
To come and turn the ground to green again
If only she
Could her my songs
bout the empty difference
tween the rights and wrongs
Then I know that i
Could stand alone
As well as they
Now that shes gone

I noticed guys that dont' play sports at camps or something autimatically are labeled as loosers. I've known some great guys who are good at so many things yet are facing this "looser" label in our society. Should they do sports then, or should they continue being "loosers"?

If you look at it, there's no such thing as a stupid person. Most people perceived to be dumb usually 1.)pretend to be (to trick others) or 2.)are actually misunderstood because of their thought process.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone agree?

The word is being used a lot more for the last year or so.
Where-as before, someone who was promiscuous or slutty, now has sex with "random" people.
Someone with mismatched clothes wears "random" clothes.
Someone who blurts out an odd or irrelevant statement, says "random" things.
I'm not saying that the word is misused. Merely used more often. Was it on a TV show or movie that I missed or what?
I do understand that 35 years ago, people were advised to perform "Random Acts of Kindness", so perhaps the word has merely been on a generational heitus, and reincarnated along with many other things from that most silly of decades - the 70s.

Sorry for the randomness of my question.
Any help or insight would be appreciated greatly.

Do you think you remember someone's face better if they are attractive? ..is it harder to remember what someone's face looks like if you aren't that attracted to them?
