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...

Which one is easier? To be a guy or to be a girl?

yenwie84 @yenwie84 (1344) • Malaysia 23 Jul 08

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...
