  • Just how accurate are lie detector tests?

    When people fail lie detector tests they always claim the lie detector made a mistake and they swear they were telling the truth. Do lie detector tests make mistakes or did the person really lie? You have seen how these situations go down on most every trashy talk show. Who or what is telling the truth?

  • Do you ever wonder why.....?

    Just random stuff you always wondered why. Like have you ever wondered why you never hear about physics winning the lottery? Have you ever wondered why they have handicap parking at skating rings? Why do people with bad breath always say words that start with the letter H? Here is one I see everyday. Why do big women like dating little skinny guys? Together, does that make them the perfect 10? Just saying. I could go on. What are some random things you have always wondered about?

  • Does credit score effect employment?

    Is this true? If it is, what does having a bad credit score have to with a person who is well qualified to get the job of their choice? I mean employers would just totally ignore the fact that the person has years of work experience in the field they choose and graduated from a good school with a 4.0 GPA. You mean to tell me that all of that goes out the window over a lousy credit score that has nothing to do with the person being a "right fit" for the job.

  • Is it complicated to get a trade skill job compared to......?

    A white collar job position working in some office all day? I am having a very difficult time getting a career where I get to work in an office. I have a the degree but I do not have the work experience. It seem employers are too strict when it hiring people for white collar type jobs. In my opinion employers demand way too much from the job applicants. They demand the top of the line degrees plus so many years work experience immediately after finishing school, which is just ridiculous to me. You have to show up at interviews looking like a stiff in a suit. You have to talk like them. Basically trying hard to become one of them. Trade skill jobs don't require some expensive degree from a fancy 4 year University. On the job training programs and apprenticeships are not costly like Universities. You don't have to play dress up in a boring suit all day. I am thinking an apprenticeships may be a good thing for me. I hear the starting wages for trade jobs are high compared to jobs that demand the highest degree with the most years work experience in a business type environment. I need a new career change and learning a trade ism y next best option seeing I cannot get a job related to my degree. I need yo dig my self out of a large hole with these student loans I am struggling to pay back and a trade job was my last choice at getting a well paid job that would help me a lot to pay off those nasty student loans.

  • Are the Boston Bombers the right suspects?

    We all feel these two guys are the right bombing suspects. The parents and aunt of these two suspects are claiming they are 100% innocent and they were set up. C'mon now. Who out here really believe these bombers were set up and could be the wrong guys? What's up with the family of these brothers? The parents and the aunt are backing up these two scum buckets. Their uncle on the other hand cannot stand either of the two brothers. We all feel the same way. Why do you think the parents and the aunt are supporting the brothers while the uncle practically hates his nephews? What I don't get is what their motive is and why did they target the Boston marathon.

  • What do you prefer at job interviews?

    Job interviewers sure can waste a person's time interviewing people they know full well they aren't going to hire. They will be all polite and smiley face as you sit there talking to them,but most of the time they know they were never going to hire you. Do you prefer them to be polite or honest? I just feel it would save you a lot of time as well as them if they would just be honest and let people know they are getting the job or not. Nothing they have to say matters unless you hear words along the lines of congratulations, you're hired, or when can you start. If you don't hear anything that indicates you got the job, then everything else that comes out of their mouths is useless. You didn't go all out of your way to get to the job interviews to hear them string you along like a sucker. Honesty over politeness works well in my opinion. If you were never a good fit, they should have told you that ahead of time in a phone call or even some bs email like they usually do. It's messed up when good qualified job applicants get played like they too were going to get the job and get hit with the we will call you if you are a good fit with the company. That is a load of bull most times. Some times people do get lucky to get called back, but the majority of the time these interviewers are getting people's hopes up for nothing. That is wrong no matter what.

  • Is that helping the homeless?

    I still believe in the old saying where you feed a man fish he eats for a day. You teach a man how to fish he eats for a lifetime. I believe this same thing should apply to homeless. When ever you see bums on the corner begging for spare change, do you show them any mercy and give them the spare change or keep walking? I don't think putting a few dollars in their cup will solve their problem. Sure he will have enough money to get a bite to eat from all the money people gave to him out of kindness of their hearts, but that goes back to the old saying. This person is being given the fish instead of learning the skills that will provide him fish for a lifetime. Before anyone throw some jokes in I am not talking about fish to eat. I am saying they need to learn how to fish aka provide them the necessities in life they need to survive like a home, car, income, food, etc. Times are hard now, so I can see how difficult this would be for some people. But long before the situation became as hard as they are these days when it comes to getting a job we always had bums on the corner pleading for help. Do you feel homeless people deserve sympathy from people who are not homeless?

  • Don't you just hate that?

    Why do people ask you for directions and turn around and ask someone else the same thing they asked you? That is after they wasted all your precious time explaining to them where to go as simple as you could explain to them. I had a lady do this to me yesterday. She needed directions on how to get to Pet Smart. I gave her the most simple directions even a 5 year old could understand. She turns right around and ask someone else the same thing after I already told her earlier how to get their. I was thinking. WTH!!! I just gave this woman SIMPLE directions.

  • Are Chevrolet cars easier to fix?

    I am searching for a new car. There are a lot of cars I looked at that I like, but I cannot afford. My brother keeps arguing that Chevy is a better choice for me because they are easier to work on compared to Chrysler cars particularly my 2002 PT Cruiser that I really need to get rid of. I had a mechanic also say that Chevy cars are easier to fix. I saw a 2011 Chevy Malibu LT for sale that got my interest. I am still looking at other cars to get a good deal, but if I can afford to get that Malibu I would. I need something bigger than my current car with more room and more horsepower.

  • Why is 4 year college so important?

    Anybody else notice teachers and most parents put too much emphasis into going to some 4 year college? I mean people look at college as our savior that will us all into a better life. Why are trade skills less desirable compared to going to some fancy and expensive 4 year university? Think about it. If a teacher asked a class room full of students what they want to be when they grow up and a lot of those kids want to something that requires going to a 4 year college and you have those few students who to learn a trade skills like being a plumber, electrician, mechanic, or welder, who do you think the teacher is going to be more impressed by? The kids who want to learn a trade or the ones who want to grow up to have a suit a tie career sitting working in a big comfy office? Parents are the same way too. Not all of them but most of them are.

  • Is college worth it anymore?

    I put a lot of time money and effort getting a Bachelors degree in Accounting. Now 5 years later I still can't get a job in my field with student loans kicking my butt. Instead I am stuck at Walmart of all places. Yuck!! I hate my life. If only I could turn back the hands of time, I would in a heart beat. I agree with most that college is a joke. I am thinking about learning a trade skill to see where that leads me. Even though the money is better. It still don't feel the same because I already invested all my time money and effort getting this Bachelors degree in Accounting. That's a lot I have wasted already preparing for one career and end up doing something else totally different. Do you agree? There is an article of countless others facing this same problem. I really do regret my decision to go back to school. I hate I got duped with all that brainwash crap of going to college assuming it would lead to a brighter tomorrow. Yeah right. I wish. Everytime I see a tv commercial advertising go back to school. I just smh.

  • Who knows how to repair PT Cruisers?

    My 2002 PT cruiser broke down a week ago. It was driving fine and all of a sudden the check engine oil light came on and the car steering wheel began to lock up and shut down. I just had an oil change and other maintenance done to the car that same month. What could be wrong with my car? I need to know what part or parts are needed to fix the car. The car will not turn on. I can hear it trying to turn when I turn the switch on, but it still will not crank.

    By the way, do you think there will be a new record of 20-1 or 21-0 at Wrestlemania? I think CM Punk is treading on thin ice after his disrespect for Paul Bearer.

  • Why am I responsible for calling him?

    Last week I had this mechanic my brother found to fix my car. That was last Friday he came by and TRIED to fix my car but was unsuccessful at getting the job done. He could not get the job done Friday, so he said I should leave the key at home for him to come by and fix the car the next morning. I had to go to work that next morning, so I Ieft the key at home with my mom in case the guy shows up after my dad take me to work. All that day I was at work thinking the guy was at my house fixing the car and my car would be fixed when I get home. That never happened. The guy never showed up to do the job I was suppose to pay him to do. He never contacted me or nothing about why he failed to show up. My dad called my brother to tell him the mechanic he found was a no show. My brother then contacts the guy to find out what was going on. It turns out the guy was sick and could not make it. I had no idea that had happened to him because he failed to call me and tell me this. He should have been the one to call me and say, I am sick today and won't be able to come by to fix the car. I will come by and fix it ____ day. That's how communication should have went a little something like that. Not the other way where he just not show up with out a word and me sitting here waiting for him to come back like he said he would.

    I don't get why I should have to be the one calling him. He knew full well before I did that he was sick and could not make it, so I see it as he should have contacted me to tell me this. That's like any job. If a person know they won't be able to make in to work, they call their boss and let them know they would not be able to come in to work because they are sick or whatever reason they can't come. I mean like don't just not show up without so much as a word explaining why they cannot come to complete the job I hired him to do.

    Then he got me going back and forth buying parts for the car he the supposedly "experienced mechanic" said I needed only to find out neither of the parts gets the car to crank up. Now I am back to being dependent on my parents to get me where I need to be or let me borrow their car so I can get from A to B.

  • What's up with church pastors today?

    It seems like today some of these rich pastors preaching in their million dollar or so mega churches are preaching for the love of money. Do you find it wrong that the these pastors are living the high life while everyone else in the church can barely make ends meet? Are people paying their ties or are they paying for the pastor's nice big house,flashy cars, and expensive wardrobe? I'm just curious if they are preaching for the love of God or for the love of green papers? By the way, I know church people like to consider themselves so self righteous and all because they have become "saved." Do church going people consider themselves better than non church going people? I hear "Christians" are some of the biggest hypocrites.

  • Why people display their life on Facebook?

    I mean it's like they have something to prove like look at me now. I'll explain that. For people who use to be losers, nerds, geeks, dorks, got beat up in from elementary school up to highschool, etc. Life for them was crap back in the day. But now they feel a need to post themselves on Facebook displaying all their personal business and showing the great progress they made in their lives. Let's be honest. If none of these people made any progress in their lives, they would not have the courage to be showing themselves on Facebook. We know if those same people were still the same old losers, nerds, etc today like they were in high school, they would not be proudly show casing their life on Facebook. Right or wrong? Be honest.
