The more kids who learn to speak fluent Arabic, the more qualified spies to help the US defeat it's Arab/Muslim enemies.

It's always worth the risk to use Foxconn and the plethora of contractors just like them when they pay this little. Salary isn't 100% driven by Apple; who among you thinks Foxconn would pay more salary if Apple had no say?  Foxconn executives are rolling in money. If Apple is that concerned about "The Human Condi...more

It's materialism at it's finest.  I can't even blame or criticize people for this, it's all around us every day and even a thrifty person like myself can spend stupidly. I guess I was lucky, growing up in a home with little/no money around so I learned to just simply "go without" and "get by."  After I finished colleg...more

It's ridiculous that we've reached these standard of living expectations. We have no excuses for not living within our means.  I make far less than this and liv...more

It's hard to have faith in American managed automakers when they have to get on their hands and knees and beg congress (every single American taxpayer) to be bailed out.  All the while, that snake Gettlefinger is lining his pockets with YOUR MONEY! It's great that everyone's so up in arms about this.  Maybe it will t...more

I think that no matter what, human beings need one hour of exercise every single day.  To some, this seems so daunting!  But, once you get in the "groove" it's actually quite easy.  And, "exercise" doesn't have to be rigorous and physically demanding stuff like jogging or weight training.  Just taking two walks of a ha...more
