boerema I agree with you, there are not many cases in the US where crime is for survival because we are fairly spoiled and there are very few cases where someone who is really needy can not get any help (Homeless shelters ect). Unfortunately crime in America is about...

boerema I have a gym membership that I use 3 or 4 times a week. Beyond those hour long gym sessions I also try and run 4 or 5 times a week for about 5 miles or so. Although sometimes I get caught up on the internet I always make sure I set a schedule for myself so I...

boerema I do not think you should give up your organ donor status. Although you might feel that your organs would just bring on your problems to them I am sure they would much rather deal with the problems in comparison to not having an organ donation and dying. There...

boerema I definently agree with you. Most of the news media channels I know of are left leaning. On the other hand Fox news goes so far right sometimes it almost seems like a Right wing propaganda machine rather than a news outlet. Thanks for the response

boerema I think in this day and age gender roles have really been torn apart. Its to much of a generalization to say a guy takes care of the family and builds up a career when theres many women who do the same thing and vice versa. Although I hate to stereotype...
