Say someone gives you $500,000 to do whatever you wish. Yeah, that's a whole buncha money. What would you do with that money? Personally, I would buy a house, new car, buy my mom a house, donate some to charity, then put the...

codystaub In my opinion mutual funds are a horrible place to put your money. People say they're less risky, but they're really not...and you get raped on fees. I personally would rather take my risks investing in a private managed portfolio with a good track record...

codystaub After two houses I don't think you'd have much left... Personally I would reinvest it. I would probably buy a couple of small ( $100k) run down houses and flip them, just because I've always thought that would be a fun project. Split the profits into high...

This is my opinion… and I would like your thoughts on it… Capitalism strives under the banner of freedom. The freedom to be able to do whatever you like. However… like with everything else… there is a negative side to...

codystaub I think I saw today that there are an estimated 30 million illegals in America. This is a whole other issue with me. A lot of undereducated illegals come to the US and exploit our system. It's a very sad deal and I believe that if we tightened our immigration...

codystaub $1000/wk is a very low figure. Drugs are a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States.

codystaub The statistic is 12% people living below the poverty in 2005. 40% of Americans live below the poverty line in their lifetime. Like me, in college I was below the poverty line because I made less than $10k a year. I definitely would not have considered...

codystaub I appreciate your defense, but I have to point something out. Christopher Columbus didn't "found" America, only discovered it in the eyes of the European nations. Jamestown and Ronoake were actually the "founding" of America. Neither did they have to fight...

codystaub My point with the cars was that anything can be used as a deadly weapon and anyone can argue control of almost anything. And the poverty rate in America is 12% by the way. Oh, and the poverty level in America is still higher than the median income of most...

codystaub I have a cousin who found herself in a VERY similar situation. I don't know what advice to give you, but I'll tell you how it turned out for her. She tried to accept the new girl and for a while it was fine, but then the same crap started again (talking behind...

go to doctor with a problem and the doctor says, well, what do you want to do. Gee, that is why I pay you for your opinion since you have the MD behind your name. What should I do according to the medical facts? I am fed up. Are...

codystaub Doctors generally ask you what you want to do because they have to have an informed and agreed consent from you. If you don't want to do it they can't do it. Generally there is an option in there correct? I've never had a doctor say "Gee, you have a fever and...

I wonder what would happen to the show in general if they added a Love Interest for House? Would it ruin the show, add more tension to House's personality, get in the way of some of his diagnosis's. Hey what do you out there think...

codystaub Well a few episodes ago he did get that nutritionist to go to the bar with him right? Isn't that an interest of some kind? I think an actual relationship would ruin the show. House is the solitary scrooge, he can't have companionship! Haha

codystaub Do they brainwash you guys in Australia? You all seem to have the same opinions. America provides medical coverage much the same in structure to Australia with the exception being that in the U.S. you must be poor to get it (ie providing for the poor). The...

codystaub Well, I was with my grandfather when he passed away and I kissed him on the forehead. I see no problem with it. I don't believe in the superstitious stuff associated with it either. Just do what feels right to you.
