hidinginpublic I would take the million dollars. I would get myself out of debt, buy a home and a new car. Then I could put the rest away and find the job I've always wanted and travel if I wanted. I feel that once I am out of debt I could live far more comfortably.

Alcohol ranked more dangerous then ecstasy.

taiguy @taiguy (478) • United States 23 Mar 07

Alcohol is ranked much more harmful than the CLass A drug ecstasy in a controversial new classification system proposed by a team of leading scientists. The study was published today in The Lancet medial journal. The authors...

hidinginpublic I think more research on all drugs should be done. The only reason that ecstasy is even considered a illegal drug is that someone started misusing it and that misuse became popular. Ecstasy was originally created to be a drug to help depression and marital...

CANNABIS CLUBS: Support or Ban?

What is the best pre-paid cell phone Service???

WAHSIS @WAHSIS (216) • United States 13 Mar 07

I just bought the Go-Phone but now my Daughter is saying I could have gotten a better deal with Kiwi Pre-paid cell. Oh well! Please let me know who you think has the best DEAL.
