nekonyanta Hi. Officially, I'm supposed to work only 40 hours every week. However, the type of job that I do is so demanding that overtime (most of the time, without pay) has become quite the norm rather than the exception. So, obviously, I'd like to work less hours than...

I found this website that can make you some extra money with doing quick surveys, signing up for some other websites, playing games, and reading e-mails they send you. If you are interested, check out...

I see Obama and Hillary are out on the campaign trail together these days -- do you think they are letting people get "used" to seeing them together BEFORE they announce they will be running together on the ticket? Would you vote...

Cindycrocker I have noticed the same thing. I voted for Obama so that I could vote against Hillary. I don't trust her very much ( just look at how nasty the primary was) and do not want her to be back in the White House, in any capacity. I don't mean to sound too mean, I...

How do you feel about the use of Racial Quotas to fill positions in college admissions and in the corporate world? There is a REAL RACIAL QUOTA SYSTEM in effect in the admission process in colleges and universities. When you...

I know that with the price of gas around and above $4 a gallon, it has affected our families decision on where to go and how far to drive to our family vacations this year. We are going closer to home and taking more local day and...

greenline The gas price certainly is having a huge impact on my travel plans, going to work, going shopping, going on vacation. I was planning to drive up to a friends place over the weekend, and I have cancelled that. To go to work, I am taking the bus these days.

MikeMKD Gas is expensive, and the people who sell it are the devil. Everyone will be suffering soon, because of how expensive it is, and the price will keep rising, increasing the injury.

Lylascomments I agree, I am one of the few happy Americans. And I rarely watch t.v. it's too depressing, I don't even read the paper. I might watch t.v. about once a week and I do watch the weather. There's no time, too much living to do.

urbangirl I did find that the media in the US was a bit over the top. It keeps feeding negativity and basically dictates what people "should" be angry about and sometimes it's done in a subtle way. People are made to feel they have the "right" to demand things all the...

AnythngArt I think that there are two different arguments that have nothing to do with each other being mixed together. One is about Americans being spoiled and ungrateful and the second is people being unhappy with President Bush. They are two completely different...

twils2 I couldnt agree with more. The vast majority of Americans are so spoiled, greedy, selfish people in the world. To many people that have way more than they need are always looking for another handout, abuseing the welfare system, social security and whatever...

desertdarlene There isn't much left after I pay the rent, usually. In fact, there was a time where I couldn't even make as much as the rent. I would say, right now, that the biggest expense is my student loan payment. Right now, it's tied with my grocery bill, but the loan...

awonderfullife Our gas/electric bill! It averages $3090 a month! Closer to $450 in the winter. May and June we usually get a break- it can go as low as $150 a month because there's usually no air conditioning or heat on. I really can't wait for that- this April has been...

emeraldisle It's horrible down here with the insurances. Our insurance is built into our house payment so we only have the one. Our house payment almost tripled since we first started which was only 7 years ago and it's all because of the insurances. It's crazy right now...
