MONEY FOR NOTHING

justiman @justiman (428) • United States 1 Nov 06

When I see a guy (homeless) asking for money on a street corner, I try to judge whether or not they're sincere and 9 times out of 10,I give them a couple of bucks. What do you do or think?

independent_inAK I would rather drive than watch it. After a while it gets boring. I prefer the 1/4 mile(I've taken my car to the strip) but as long as I'm going fast it doesn't really matter. It would be awesome to get to drive NASCAR.

As I am a very stubborn person - LOL - if anyone criticise me at work or in any other walk of life, I tend to get quietly annoyed about it, and determine to prove them wrong. I certainly never give tem the satisfaction of knowing...

Small Town or Big Town?

justiman @justiman (428) • United States 14 Feb 07

Which do you prefer? I live in a small town just outside San Antonio called China Grove, if you've ever heard the Doobie Brothers song. I feel lucky like I have the best of both worlds. Where would you rather live?

independent_inAK Definitely small town for me. I grew up in and still live in a small town. It's growing though. Most small towns are friendly and I feel safer...at least in mine.

independent_inAK I think at 15 you don't know what true love is. I know I thought that I knew but I didn't. There is so much to learn after 15, 18 or even 25...I'm still learning what love is all about.

independent_inAK I feel that it all depends on the people and their situation. The couple could be young but very mature and they could have their families support and that would be fine or there could be a young couple who just want to get married out of spite or just for the...

independent_inAK I thought it was a figure of speech that meant a radio station was not broadcasting over the airwaves for a period of time.
