| Denis Leary became famous after stealing material from Bill Hicks. I would not be too offended by some one who made their carreer by stealing from someone else. (No Cure for Cancer, at some points, is near verbatim to Bill Hicks Relentless.) |

| What about Portugal? The merchants from that country were the chief slave traders. How about Spain, England, and France? Why is this just a question for Just the US? How about Denmark? There were several countries that engaged in the slave trade in the New World long before the US was even a country... |

| Holy Horse puckey! I am from Colorado! I must die a horrible death! Flouride in the water! I am doomed! Wait, what if flouride occurs naturally in the water? The first discovery of flouride in the water was made by an east-coast (US) dentist in Colorado Springs. Floride in the water is very common i... |

| A lot of the drugs for Bi-Polar are nasty. While they do work a good percentage of the time, they do have side effects. I know all about the weight gain, and it is a pain to deal with. While most of those type of drugs do work for those with a problem, if the Doc is wrong, there is a huge problem. (... |

| I was 8. I started my own little "business." I mowed lawns during warm weather, and shoveled snow during the winter. Lawns were mowed for $5.00 each, and I removed snow for $2.00 from driveways and sidewalks. Despite my obvious violation of both "fair trade" and child labor laws, not to mention not ... |

| Yes, there is a chance for profit, but the vending machine business is very competitive. First, don't expect much profit from only six machines like the one in your post. Those type are very expensive to maintain and keep filled. So unless you have locations that won't be rented out to anyone but yo... |

| Use small words and obvious gestures. Spread your arms as far out as you can for the idea of "big," and pinch your finger's together for "small." Clap out your syllables as you speak. make noises and act like an animal. but first define ignorant. |

| I don't really understand the question. I am not trying to be flippant, but it seems you answered you own question by asking it. It's probably the same reason you want a girlfriend.

| I always thought it would be "cool" if places in North America would be used, at least under their "indian" names. I would love to see a third-person "shooter" in Huronia. |

| I don't think that it is just women that have experience this. I am a single man, and I am quite happy about it. However, most of the people I know think I am crazy for not being part of a "family." Just because I don't have a wife and kids does not mean I don't have a family. I have grandparents, a... |
