I haven't gone door to door and done a proper survey if that's what you mean. But yeah, I've met people who either have avoided getting a job or lament not having one despite spending most of their time watching TV all day.

Pointing out that I don't think people who happen to be minorities should be treated differently doesn't help your argument. I love people who think they're not racist then make assumptions like yours.

A statistical model can't justify high salaries for executives, so it's not rational...so what? The market has decided what an executive is worth and that's good enough for me. There is no better system. Markets can act irr

You might be thinking about it wrong. A site that generates $5K a month is worth way more than some Mommy blog that just started hosting ads. I assure you, if you wrote a report that targeted your highest earning affiliates, gave them the

When I was a kid I never knew of anyone who drove more than one town away for work. Now, I only know a few people that actually work in the same town they live. I think the willingness to commute plays a role in this too.

The biggest problem WP faces is retailers. I don't know why, but I've overheard reps at Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Verizon answer people's Windows Phone questions with "You don't want that, it's crap".

I don't get this. 1 and 2) So everyone should have to change lanes to get around you, but you shouldn't have to change lanes for anything? 3) Typical 3 lane highways have 4 actual lanes, the right most one being the breakdown lan

That's why you put your hands on the steering wheel. The officer walks up to the car, sees your hands, sees your wallet on the dash and puts 2+2 together. Otherwise, when you reach behind your back for your wallet, the officer has no

I do a quite a bit of night driving. I'm always in the right hand lane on three lane roads. Night traffic is very light, so I won't change two lanes just to go around people that insist on driving in the middle lane when the rig

I do all these and they seem to work. I have gotten pulled over in the last 10 years but only gotten warnings. As an addendum, if you do get pulled over: 1) Remove your hat if you're wearing one. 2) Get your wallet out and put it on t

To me this is a win for freedom of speech and free markets. You're free to express your close minded opinion, but the market is free to reject it and you.

Yeah, I don't stretch much. It's mostly about warm-up movements like marching/running in place, jacks, arm circles, back movements etc... Then some ballistic stretches and a few limited static stretches.
