Studies show that the crime statistics all over the world is increasing at such alarming rate. The fear of crime haunts the lives of millions and the problem of lawlessness is growing at a geometric rate .The most agonizing part...

airnavigator I haven't checked the statistics lately but I suspect that what is increasing is not so much crime itself as the reporting of crime. In the past, newspapers, which were mostly local then, only reported out of area crimes when they were major. Today, with the...

airnavigator I'm on a diet and, to avoid temptation, have ceased purchasing biscuits (cookies), ice cream and candy when I go grocery shopping. So, until I reach my new lower weight goal, there will be no biscuits or other sweet treats in my home. Once I reach my weight...

This is a topic we are currently discussing in my psychology class. Whether or not a woman should have a large family say 15 or more children. In class they used the example of the Dugar family. They have 17 kids now and one on...

airnavigator I am the father of four children and admit that even that amount can sometimes be a financial strain. However, I learned long ago when I worked in a bank underwriting mortgage loans that it is not so much how much money a family has but how they manage it that...

Myself and some of my coworkers were discussing politics during lunch and this idea came to me. Of course they all discounted it because it would never happen. Although I have to agree with them, I would still love to see it. My...

airnavigator I have a better suggestion. How about a President who promises to veto every bill passed by Congress and faithfully devotes two terms (8 years) to vetoing everything that Congress passes? Robert Kiyosaki (author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad") in his book "Cash...

airnavigator I am definitely more likely to vote for Senator McCain as a result of his choosing governor Palin. I think she is an excellent choice. From what I have seen and heard about Governor Palin so far, I am very impressed. Personally, I think that she has the...

airnavigator Frankly, I wouldn't sell them for $40. You might want to continue to hold them until demand for them rises. If you enjoy the thrill of possessing them then keep them. Another option would be to search the Internet for other places to sell them - you might...

airnavigator Thanks for the comment. As for my camera, it is a Canon PowerShot A570IS digital camera. A nice little compact digital camera. As for the Atlas moth, he had finished crawling out of his cacoon about an hour earlier and was probably tired. Also, the...

I love butterflies, they are cute little animals. You cannot even imagine that they are the end product of those odd looking larva. I like seeing them fly around on a sunny day in different beautiful colours. Do you like them?

We have been buying used.. We figure why pay the big price and have it depreciate so fast. I got my car two years old with almost no miles on it and a 5 year warranty with a great price. So what makes you decide new or used?

airnavigator I decide basically on price and my current needs. I have brought both new and used. Used are less expensive and can be very good. However, about three years ago I purchased new because I needed a car in order to get to work but was strapped financially. I...
