DO you think it's okay to steal baby formula?

4cuteboys @4cuteboys (4099) • United States 11 Apr 07

So I went to buy my powdered baby formula at the grocery store as usual. It wasnt in the regular spot so I asked and was told customer service kept it locked up and I had to go there to purchase it. So when I got there I asked...

4cuteboys @4cuteboys (4099) • United States 11 Apr 07

On craigslist and ebay I see tons of people selling those FREE I repeat FREE formula checks and coupons that come in the mail for people that signed up for them. They ask almost full price of the check. If it's a $7 check, they...

courtjohn I have to admit that I am guilty of selling and trading formula checks. First of all, if you post something on Ebay, you are not responsible for how much people pay for it. They are the stupid ones for paying the full value of it. I have also bid on some on...

if you could choose the gender of your baby, would you?

4cuteboys @4cuteboys (4099) • United States 9 Apr 07

In the age where sperm sorting is more affordable and more common, would you choose the gender of your child? Why or why not?

courtjohn This is a very controversial subject but I definately would not. I feel like my children are special gifts chosen for me and not for me to choose for myself. On a less spiritual level, I think allowing peole to do this would create an imbalance of gender in...
