And there are those suffering that cannot get to any place for help of curi...
Politics, News & Issues > US News Should the children who killed a seven-year-old "Mortal Kombat-style" be tried as adults?: 2 of 16

Yes, they should. Now, according to my Google search, this happened in 2008. It's August 2010 as of writing this article, so I suppose it is a dead issue for the whole country minus the area in where it happened, and for those who knew that poor seven-year-old child. But I find it interesting when they refer it to "Mort...

Politics, News & Issues > Economic News Starbucks is running low on bucks: 600 stores to close: 2 of 14

A good educated guess on why six hundred Starbucks stores are closing is as good as what most people would say, "Why do you think Starbucks is closing 600 stores?" The economy isn't so good. And since the economy isn't so good, are people going to a five-dollar cappuccino each and every day? Good question. It's the basic ide...

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball News & Opinion Are baseball players paid too much?: 5 of 26

The minimum pay for a veteran in the Major League Baseball galaxy has been risen to $415,500/year in the start of 2011. Funny thing was, that the minimum in 2006 was $327,000.

Politics, News & Issues > Soccer News & Opinion How to improve the popularity of Major League Soccer: 4 of 15

Soccer (better known as football in other countries) in the United States all together is not a favorite. As Tom Leykis once mentioned soccer is a bunch of ants chasing the aspirin. The American that I am, I for one actually enjoy watching a boring soccer game. I like to watch some of the MLS and due to having a few pals fro...

Yes, it should, if so we can pay the bill. Yes, our nations unemployment is at a number we don't like, a dismal 9.5% as of June 2010. In the state of Michigan, we are at 14%. Nevada has recently beat us to the punch, we are now at second. But in addition to extending benefits, I believe we need to allow something like; bear ...
