What would you do if your kid eats paper? He keeps being told off but he does it in school (he bites his notebooks) and at home when nobody is looking. I asked why does he do it and he says he doesnt know. He has 9 years old.

sam3m1 i suggest a good physical exam with blood tests to determine vitamin/mineral deficiencies. often children will ingest substances which contain things that they need, even though those things may harm them. another possibility is pica which is a behavioral...

Here's a great calculator that shows how most of us will be paying LESS in taxes under his plan. Don't just rely on what those running against him (or those supporting another candidate) say about the plan. Punch in some...

sam3m1 ted, you're depending on corporations to pass along their savings to their customers? given their past history, let me know how that works out for you.

I keep hearing people say that our economy needs to be what it was in the 50s. Well, let's look at that. Do we really want to return to when "middle class" meant, a family had 1 car, 1 television, one stereo and 1 telephone in a 3...

sam3m1 what is the problem with that level of spending if it yields an economy which booms and results in a surplus? the gop fear of spending is irrational. were we in a business which wanted to expand, we would most likely borrow to build the business. the...

sam3m1 Ted, I don't hear anyone saying they'd like a return to 1950's economy. Usually the desired economy is under Bill Clinton, which produced millions of jobs and left W with a surplus which he quickly gave away to the upper 2%.

So, lefties, how many TEA partiers are you ready to kill while heeding Jimmy Hoffa's call to arms against us?

sam3m1 after reading the comments here, i'm more convinced that no one's mind is going to be changed by anything anyone else says. to assume that what hoffa said was okay just because he didn't say the word kill, or to assume that weapons carried to a political...

sam3m1 ted, this is one of the few times i agree with you. what did you write about the tea party gatherings where members were encouraged to carry weapons to the meetings, obama depicted as hitler,etc.? i missed those statements expressing your outrage.

sam3m1 i know it's hard for you to imagine, but what if you're wrong? to assume that the evildoers would pick a mulatto, middle name hussein, born in hawaii to be their leader is a bit far-fetched. i'd pick a white, middle class, nra member from the mid-west. i've...

sam3m1 ted, sorry, but i ignored the comment about redress of grievances. you're a great researcher. i'm sure that unions don't have an option. whenever a member brings a grievance to the union, they must, by statute, follow through with that grievance, even if the...

sam3m1 you may want to look at legalsounds.com. almost all singles are 8 or 9 cents to download. downloads of whole albums cost around $1.30 or so.

sam3m1 ted, i think the problem was denial of collective bargaining rights, not grievance procedures. presenting grievances is far from collective bargaining. most of my career was on the administrative side in a state where strikes and similar actions were illegal....

But not so proudly conservative that I'm not willing to admit that there are conservatives who scare me as much as they scare any liberal. As with all stereotypes, some people seem bent on proving the stereotype true.

sam3m1 ted, happy to see that some conservatives scare you as they do me. are there liberals that scare you to the same extent? i honestly can't think of a liberal politician as frightening as bachmann, palin or perry, but that probably is due to my liberal point of...
