    At what age you started making money?

    My first job was for an environmental company when I was 18 years old. I did not stay there long, and soon went to work at a local discount store. So, thanks for pointing out that I have been working for 22 years, and still have another 30 before I can retire.

    Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?

    I did go bungee jumping in Vegas. Also, I did th skycoasters in Atlantic City and Vegas (its like a bungee but swings in a pendulum fashion). I have a friend who wants to take me skydiving, but I have to wait until next summer to do so. Unless of course we go on vacation.

    Exotic Pet in NJ Escapes--Again

    A woman in NJ who owns a bobcat--which she declawed--was cited several times for the 38 pound cat escaping. She claims that it is a hybrid and is quite domesticated. Contradicting reports state the cat escaped between 3-6 times. The judge ordered a DNA test after its last escape, but the tests...

    Abandoned America

    yes, Detroit was one of the cities mentioned. There are also videos online of hundreds of indoor shopping malls that are either completely abandoned or on their last leg. One in Cincinatti Mills was beautiful, but most of the stores are closed. The ones that remain cannot afford the rent. It is...

    Racism in police

    I think sometimes police profile for other reasons, and people take it to automatically be racial. For example, I drive a Mustang GT--with my name on my license plate. I worked 6pm-3am, and when driving through this one town, with an officer population of three at that time of night, I got...

    Fear/Mistrust of Police

    Hey Camdad! I am from the other side of the Walt Whitman Bridge! In my area, police are great people who do not know what they may walk into during a traffic stop. They are the coaches for our kids with the PAL sports, therefore the kids are afraid to get caught doing anything bad--they know...

    Vandalism/Petty Theft

    Here, if they were caught, they would get maybe a warning. Maybe a fine, and most likely have to pay restitution. For shoplifting here, the stores used to catch the person, then offer "Are you willing to sign a contract that you will pay us $250? If not, we are calling the police". They also...

    Abandoned America

    I recently watched a documentary entitled "Abandoned America" which spotlighted cities that have become ghost towns due to environmental or economic deterioration. Once the largest mining town for lead and zinc, one town was wiped out after the water, air, and ground became contaminated from the...

    Wife hires hitman to kill husband

    I think what is more sad is that people would rather pack up and move on, then work out their problems and communicate like adults. Of course some people will never change, but if they cheated before you married, they will cheat after. If they beat you before, you can be certain they will beat...

    Second Ebola victim to fly to US....wonderful

    One of the scary things about this is that a person becomes contagious when they begin feeling symptoms. Symptoms (unlike signs) are subjective. What if I have a headache today, but I think nothing of it? That headache may by symptomatic, making me contagious. Then three days from now I get a...

    Washington School Shooting

    This coupled with the fact that many parents are too busy to actually see a real problem early enough was my point. I do know a LOT about mental illness. I also know the medical industry (and yes, it is an industry, meaning for profit business) comes up with a "gotcha" diagnosis from year to...

    Do you you think police rape ladies when arresting them?

    Africa is a specific issue all on its own. The mentality in some of those countries is that the only way to be sure not to get HIV is to have sex with a virgin. Therefore, men (and women) are raping younger and younger children every year. Children are being raped in their classrooms. Some sects...

    The African python is extremely aggressive also. The burmese pythons are incredibly long, and although not native to Florida, they have taken over the Everglades. You can see pictures of the snakes swallowing alligators! Authorities have been concerned that the african pythons, like in this...

I saw a two year old running through the mall, and th mother had no clue the child was even missing---three stores away. i saw another woman back hand...

    No more honey boo boo! Mom is dating a sex offender...

    I never saw the show, nor did I know who Honey Boo Boo was other than a couple pictures in some store "rag mags". However, this story said the man was in prison for 10 years and forced oral sex on an 8 yr old. It also says he molested one of her relatives. That is just sick. These kids should be...

    Washington School Shooting

    From what I could find, two are dead (including the shooter) and several injured. The reports state a student walked into the cafeteria and opened fire. Then he left the building and continue shooting before killing himself. We have a serious problem in this country with violence in teens...

    Possibe new serial killer emerges in Indiana

    This reminds me of the 1970s "Dating Game Show Killer". The man was convicted of raping an 8 year old child. He was released early, and wound up on a popular television show, The Dating Game. A woman would interview three men, then select the man she wanted to go out with. The man was chosen as...

    Why do the police ask, "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

    I would imagine the sobriety, and to gauge your demeanor. If they ask you a question, and you respond, they can assess whether you are likely to assault them or fight them in some way. guilty people tend to scream and yell and become defensive. Innocent people are just non-chalant, like, "Hey...

    Creepy clown terrifies town

    I had no idea that in the midwest about a decade ago, there were creepy clowns doing the same thing. One guy used to just drive around in a clown outfit and wave to people. However, there were sightings of clowns near child abduction sites. It was thought someone was trying to mimic John Wayne...
