Does anyone know of a decent way to earn money writing?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 21 Apr 07

I like writing and would like to be paid for it. But, in my understanding of freelance writing is, I have to write a LOT of extremely boring projects at pennies a word. I can't write a single word about something that bores...

Will you actually accept a National ID card?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 8 Apr 07

A National ID is one step closer to fascism. It'll make it easier to set up checkpoints and roadblocks. It'll create a database of everything about you. So what? You've got nothing to hide? I wonder how many jews, homosexuals and...

If civilization collapsed, would you be able to continue?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 7 Mar 07

Let's say there was a fast spreading contagious disease that killed 9/10 of the world's population. If there were no governments, no laws, no taxes, no currency... if the entire Western and Eastern civilizations suddenly fell...

Do you believe the world will end in your life time?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 25 Feb 07

I've heard a lot of people do. Especially since Bush took office and destablized nations like Iraq and Afghanistan. Also the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012 is only 5 years away. A lot of people think that will...

Do you want to hear music in every store and restaurant to go in?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 25 Feb 07

I've heard music makes people buy more, so that's why they do it. But, I don't like almost every song that's on the radio- sometimes I get so annoyed I have to leave the store. And I like to read while I'm eating. In some fast...

What does Voluntary Simplicity mean to you?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 21 Feb 07

VS is about reducing, reusing and recycling. It's about getting rid of debts and clutter and uncomplicating your life and maybe accepting a reduced paycheck in exchange for more free time. But, it's not about going without...

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 21 Feb 07

When Anna Nicole Smith died, my life didn't change. I didn't know the woman. I seen her TV show 2-3 times. I didn't think she was very interesting. Why is her death on TV all the time? Britney Spears got a divorce and shaved...

Bush had 2 moles removed from his face - could you afford to do that?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 17 Feb 07

I don't have health care even though I have asthma and require 3 prescription drugs per day. I'm getting by using my emergency inhaler 5-10 times a day. I can't even afford a check-up at the dentist. Is it fair that a jerk who...

Were We Really Attacked By Terrorists On 9/11?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 12 Feb 07

There are plenty of conspiracy theories about how the Twin Towers fell and whatever hit the Pentagon, but I think the most damning evidence is the behavior of the Bush administration: __Osama Bin Laden has been ignored by Bush,...

When I first heard of the show "Survivor"- a bunch of people left on an island to "Outwit Outplay and Outlast," I thought I'd love it. I've always wanted to be a castaway on an island, or marooned in the moutains by myself- to use...

Are any Americans still listening to Nena?

TheHermit @TheHermit (98) • United States 10 Feb 07

Most Americans think Nena (the band) were a 1-Hit Wonder with their hit song 99 Luftballons back in the 80's. However, Nena had many mega-hits all over Europe and Japan- their first one was called "Nur Getraeumt." Even though...
