Kalamazoo Homeowner Wins $115,000 After Lead-Paint Scare {AOL Real Estate}

Apr 18th 2013 10:26AM Just seems to me that if God had meant her to buy the house, He would have had the decency to tell her about the lead paint.

Chinese Mom Reportedly Buys $6.5 Million Apartment For Toddler {AOL Real Estate}

Mar 30th 2013 3:29PM While I agree with some of your post, there is no afterlife so you had better be the best person you can in this one.
That being said, it is appalling that in a comunist country with so many poor, someone should have this amount of money to just waste. So many of the rich are disconnected from the average populace.

12 Cities Where Homeowners Are Deep Underwater {AOL Real Estate}

Sep 1st 2012 7:53PM Would someone explain to how they can owe 20% or less of the value of their homes and still be underwater. Someone needs to think before they write this crap.

Hotel And Event Hosts Sued By Family Of Girl Killed Sliding Down A Banister {Gadling}

Jul 27th 2012 8:47PM Everyone agrees she made a stupid mistake and should be held responsible but knowing our court system I would bet her family either wins the law suit or the insurance for the hotel settles.

Why Speed Limits Are Irrelevant {Gadling}

Jul 19th 2012 4:24PM Whenever I drive I am accutely aware of the drivers around be and I can't stand holding someone up so I really try to get over into the right lane as soon as possible.
BUT-----.
When you rant about the law breakers not moving over and don't say anything about the law breakers SPEEDING it rubs me wrong.
There is no reason for going ten or more miles over the speed limit and zipping in and out of traffic because YOU think the laws weren't meant for you.
When I am driving long distance I NEED the cruise on because of a bad back and if you force me to jump over into the slow lane and kick off my cruise just so you can ignore the speed limit it is more than just an inconvenience for me, it causes me pain.
As for the retired cop who seemed like he backed the speeders over the people not getting over fast enough to suit him, I would hope the courts would see him for the ass he is. I can just see him going into court and lying about how long it took them to pull into the right lane to justify the ticket because there was no other law they were breaking.Meanwhile he was letting the speeders go. What an attitude.
If you were doing your job correctly you would be ticketing these speeders and restoring the roads to the people who were observing the law. If everyone followed closer to the posted speed limits there would be a lot less problems. If the speed limits are too slow that isn't your decision to make. You're thinking is flawed.

Bill O'Reilly Fails at Science and Becomes a Meme - You Can't Explain That! {Urlesque}

Feb 13th 2011 8:38AM How does it float????
now that is idiotic!
what is the alternative? that it all ''settles''?
On what?
Maybe it all does eventually ''settle'' and forms another singularity and creats another big bang, (if there was one in the first place). Or maybe it just drifts over until it is against the side of whatever holds our universe in. If anything does,
Conventional science, for a while anyway, seems to be leaning towards an ever expanding rather than shrinking while it slows universe as was the wisdom before but the truth is, new things are discovered all the time and while answering some of the questions, they also create more.
I, personally think ''something''(Nature, God, accident or a toaster) caused all this to happen but I have no clue what it was and anyone who is ''certain'' they do know is an idiot.

Bill O'Reilly Fails at Science and Becomes a Meme - You Can't Explain That! {Urlesque}

Feb 13th 2011 8:23AM By Joe says; ''How else would it be decided who stands where?''. If there is a god, And I'm not saying there isn't, why does it have to be decided who stands where? If god is perfect then he can make everything perfect and noone would ever commit evil. Do you think he stands outside while ''allowing'' us to commit evil and gets a charge out of it? Man keeps giving God human strengths and weaknesses and all the time saying he is better than us.
I believe that god was created in our image rather than the other way around because of our fears and conceits. Something created us but it certainly isn't the ''God'' that most people think of. Muslims, Christians, Budhists etc. are all wrong in their beliefs but if it gives them peace, so be it.
Remember this; The more people who believe in two differing views. within reasonable percentages, the better the odds that BOTH views are WRONG!
