Brooklyn's Finest

I am frustrated and here I am coming to Yahoo answers for answers to see if I'm wrong or not because I'm tired of arguing with my wife about her boys doing chores, especially dishes. They are 14 and 10 and if they're not told to clean up the kitchen, the **** will pile up and it's like having a purple elephant in the house that people pretend not to see. No one will volunteer (including me) to clean up the kitchen, but when I say that the boys should do it, it becomes an argument about why they shouldn't have to. Like I said, I work 2 jobs (both part time but tiring jobs), I pay the bills that keep the household running (rent, water, electricity, cable, internet and car and gas) and I hate having to come home and do stuff like cook or clean. My girl doesn't work so I try to trust her with the housework. Her argument is that just like I work, the kids go to school and have homework too. My argument is that they should volunteer to clean the dishes, since she does the cooking and laundry and I work and pay the bills.

So again, am I wrong for expecting this and wanting this done or is it a lost battle by now? I'm tired of the arguing and my communication skills suck when I'm fed up and mad, especially when I have to repeat myself. Please help this man before I blow my top and s**t hits the fan here at home. Thank you!

and also, do I include the brick? I opened the plug part of the brick (not the brick, just the end that plugs into the back of the 360) trying to figure out why the xbox doesn't turn on any more. Does that void warranty? How much will it cost to send? What carrier do I use-Fed Ex, UPS, regular mail? And when should we expect a new one back? I and my 6y/o will appreciate the responses. Thank you in advance.

BTW I'm renting out my basement, it's filled with rats and roaches but it's big, minus the big hole in the floor from the time I tied up 20 M80's on July 4th and lit them up then POW! no more floor! But other than that, the basement is great, besides the pipe that burst last night and flooded the hole, so now it looks like a lake and the streaming pipe damaged the ceiling. So I began rafting in my "lake" with the piece of ceiling that fell off, so it's really an amusement park now. All you have to do is charge admission fee for the rats, roaches and your friends, but it's live-able. I promise!

Oh yeah, does my avatar make me look fat?

10 points for the best response.

As I was going through YA, I came upon a question from someone that wanted to stop his sibling from smoking marijuana. That prompted a bunch of answers about the subject, including telling readers to read up The History of Marijuana and why it's illegal.

Now, as I was reading, one of the things I didn't know was that President Washington and Jefferson grew hemp and the government required people to grow farms of it for different uses. Also, what I didn't know was that very same government was misinformed about the effects and how someone used the newspapers to spread lies based on racism and hatred against minorities.

So, based on what you will read, do you think marijuana should be legalized AGAIN? And if legal, as is alcohol (that was once prohibited) and tabacco, would you smoke hemp as you would a cigarrette?

Would you create a petition and send to President Obama and Congress to legalize the plant based on what it can do for the budget, for the sick and for its many uses, including saving the rain forest by not having to cut down trees, but instead using hemp plant to make paper and books?

To read the history of marijuana simply click on File>New>Window and type it in Google, then write your newly educated response on your opinion on this matter on the bottom.

The best response gets 10 points and you get to do the jiggy dance. Happy reading.
