Aussie Family Stranded Three Days After Following GPS Into Outback (Switched)

Aug 3rd 2010 4:37PM I know, right? Ignoring the signs. My father always carries maps of different places in the car. It's not hard to read a map, and you get more of a feeling of actually where you are in the world. You can decide which way is best, not a drone that follows the leader...to a dead end road.

Carl Edwards Delivers Drama for NASCAR, but When Is Enough, Enough? (Fanhouse Motorsports Blog)

Jul 20th 2010 7:43AM I remember when Dale Sr. was just a good driver for Wrangler. My aunt was his biggist fan. Then, he changed. You talk about what he built? He was at the for-front of that agressive movement. Racing changed, and it would continue to change to become more and more aggressive. What's happening now, doesn't surprise me. He would be left in the dust, or retired--ironically.

10 things kids just don't need (WalletPop)

Jul 20th 2010 7:27AM "Kids should be chasing balls during their weekly 45-minute "psychomotor" class"

What kind of yuppie crap is that "psychomotor"? Forty-five minutes a week? I'm so glad I grew up in an era where I could be a kid, with time to learn a few things on my own observations. One of the greatest lessons I ever learned was not prompted by any adult, or during a designated activity, but when I was off being a curious kid. Yeah, kids should be chasing a ball, or playing with a stick or climbing a tree--whatever spontaneous fun comes to mind.

'Yeah, we broke the rules,' debt collectors admit (WalletPop)

Jul 20th 2010 6:43AM Not everyone gets into trouble with debt collectors because of bad financial decisions. Some people lose their jobs and have difficulty making the payments. I know someone who is fiercely searching for work, trying to pay rent and basic expenses with a small amount of unemployment, and trying to pay on credit cards she hasn't used in years, One company harrassed her because she couldn't pay them ENOUGH. She called them, and was being nice and cooperative from the beginning with full intention of creating some sort of payment plan. Instead, she was reminded that she had created the debt, and that this big important bank desperately needed that larger payment amount. She said "you can't get blood out of a stone". She was budgeting her money in order to not be left homeless when the time came to pay her rent (which already nearly happened). Again, she contacted them. Don't be so judgemental.

Spanking Makes Children More Aggressive, Study Shows (ParentDish)

Apr 13th 2010 3:30PM My mother works in a highschool and is exposed to way too many children who were undisciplined most of their lives or not at all. They have no respect for anyone. She has worked there ever since I went to that school, and watched the students become progressively more out of control. In the lunch rooms, there is more stealing of food off the lines, more noise, and lying to the teachers and all adults they encounter. These are not the actions of well disciplined children. They are only a few years from graduating into the real world, where discipline will be much more harsh than a spanking on the butt. A small amount of pain on the tushy as a child isn't too much to endure, to prevent a more harsh and enduring suffering as a adult.

When I was three years old, I laid down on the floor of a department store and had a full-on fit with arm and legs flying. My mother picked me up and spanking me on the butt. I never had a fit again in all of my childhood.

How Safe is Your Plane? (AOL Travel News)

Apr 9th 2010 4:56PM Comparing cracks in a car to cracks in a plane's fuselage is rediculous. Your car doesn't have to be air-tight or you die. I mean no one drives around with cracks in the floor of their cars. Well, my father did back in seventies--without knowing it. They put a bag of oranges on the floor behind the driver's seat, and suddenly they were rolling down the highway. However, that waa a 1961 Pontiac with a rusted floor. No one today would have to worry about that.

Especially, no one ever puts rags to cover their gas or oil tanks in cars. That's just insane! Why would anyone find that acceptible on a plane?!

Is U.S.'s Political Climate Preventing Even Snow Removal? (BloggingStocks)

Feb 12th 2010 9:14AM Wow.... I can't believe the amount of insensitivity coming from the majority of people who comment on just about any article lately. It's really descended to a new low. It's no wonder thiings are so down, when so few people care about much of anything or anyone (outside of their niches).

I think it's rediculous that the Federal government shouldn't pay to help clean up both Maryland and Northern Virginia as well as DC. They have Federal offices located in both states, and help the transit agencies that those Federal employees use to get to work as well.

The tweet that made Steve Jobs furious (TUAW.com)

Feb 9th 2010 7:37PM Steve Jobs is a briliant man, my uncle has met him. However, you think his attitude is a reflection of the fact that a lot of people act rude while using his technology? It's just my observance that a lot of people just don't know how to interact with other people while using so called interactive technology. It's kind of like that movie WALL-E (which has a lot of Apple influences) and how the people on the ship aren't aware of anything around them, because of technology taking care of everything--including their attention span.

Despite Hasty Exit, Peyton Manning Still Class Act (Fanhouse NFL Blog)

Feb 9th 2010 7:19PM I'm sorry, but if Farve could shake hands afterward when he blew it almost the same way, then Manning could have too. There is no excuse, he was a sore loser.

Why Dubai should matter to you: U.S. real estate could take big hit (WalletPop)

Nov 29th 2009 11:16PM I don't care if property values fall in this country. So, Dubai's debt could make that happen. High property values make people pay more for houses and property taxes. Also, renters have to pay more, because of the expensive housing. If the realty market makes our stocks falls fine. This country should invest in something else. There has been too much build-up and too much greed on the part of the realty industry. I think housing should become affordable again. I think this country should create more varied industry to put it's money into. Dubai put it's money in high end realestate, now it's failing. Welcome to our world.
