I was born in a cult, true story I'm not just joking or trying to sound cool. Anyway my parents left it because of how crazy it became. It was a christian cult, called COBO (christian brothers). The cult makes it's money installing and cleaning carpet's, there was a Seinfeld episode which referenced the real life cult if that rings any bells. The leader Stewart Trail claim's that god speaks with him directly. They would make everyone work all day long sometimes 12 or more hours a day, and then they keep all the money and feed the cult member's with a little bit of it while Stewart Trail was riding fancy cars and buying huge properties.

As a kid growing up I witnessed first hand how easily someone can brainwash everyone and what it's like when your in a room of brainwashed followers. Most people wanted to leave but did not have any way of doing it, you see they didn't pay anyone so no one had any money so everyone who had no where to go was pretty much stuck. When we left we were homeless for a bit till we got back on our feet.

So after living through and seeing this I don't trust anyone. I can't just go along with what anyone tells me is true. I don't even know what religion to call myself. I don't believe or not believe, I figure maybe there is god maybe there isn't, and if there is I'm not a bad person and this god showed me how to think and will forgive me, if there isn't a god than whatever death is the end. I don't pray or try to care I just live. Why would anyone who lived my life ever trust another religion again?

putting an overly high tax on an item making it cost 4 times it's actual cost so that less people will do it... how is that not straight out big brotherism?! how is the government and state getting away with manipulating it's citizen's choices through financial manipulation?

right now they are pushing propaganda about the horrible effects of soda so they can put a huge tax on it... after that they will over tax fast food... than they will over tax motorcycles... than anything that is not considered health food... and before you know it you will be on a strict government health diet unless you are rich.

Ebay's feedback system is worthless now. Seller's are not allowed to leave negative feedback to buyers. This has gotten out of hand, half the stuff that I sell never gets paid for.

This one guy really frustrated me, he purchased 4 items from me and refuses to pay. He gave me a 4 negative's because I reported him for not paying. If i didn't report him ebay makes me pay them their cut as if he did pay so I really didn't have a choice being that I am poor and living pay check to pay check.

anyway this buyer is also a seller, he has many items for sale...

should I make a new account on a random computer (like at burger king or the library ect) and buy 4 of his things and not pay?

My Neighbor has 5 dogs and their property is seriously infested with fleas. I am one of the rare people who's blood type is attractive to fleas so whenever I enter and leave my house they are jumping on me. I have bites all over my ankles and I can feel them crawling all over me especially at night. No matter what I do I can not stop them because they get on me from their yard which I have to walk past to get in my house. I have asked them to do something about the problem and my neighbor has denied that any of her dogs have fleas, even though i can clearly see them scratching themselves constantly in the backyard where she keeps them all day. I can also see them with my own eyes jumping on me when I pass her house. What should I do, I want to call the ASPCA but I don't know if they will do anything. This is destroying my life I can't feel comfortable in my own house and I can't afford to move.

The government feels that it is helping people quit smoking by forcing the tax on cigarettes higher and higher every year. Is that not the most blatant display of big brother this country has witnessed? In reality this is only effecting poor people and allot of addicts can not control themselves. not even the president who we are supposed to look up to can quit. people are literally starving themselves to afford cigarettes. They are spending less elsewhere not going to the movies wearing the same clothes longer not buying their children new toys as often or at all not getting hair cuts ect ect. This major tax increase is taking 100's of millions away that would have been spent elsewhere every day, and plays a much bigger role in the crumbling economy than the government wants you to notice. If 100 million people spend $4 extra on something they didn't have to everyday that's 400,000,000 not being spent elsewhere, that's not a conspiracy theory that's just plain & simple math. The government is actually paying for ads saying the tobacco industry is acting like "Big Brother" when they are in fact the most guilty and making more money than the tobacco companies are. If the government truly cared why would they instead of banning them tack on a huge tax? It's because they want our money, they could care less about your health they just want to bleed your wallet dry.

How is it legal to raise the tax on a product more than 100% overnight, if they did it with tobacco can't they just do it to anything? Have you been accustomed to a certain lifestyle based on the amount of money you make, well too bad the government can raise taxes on you overnight and throw your lifestyle completely out of whack as proven by this tax increase. The scary part is this is just the beginning, once the price goes up to the point where most of America can not afford them they will need to make the tax money still... they will than tax everything deemed unhealthy from soda to roller blades, motorcycles to anything not deemed healthy by the FDA. This will force us into a diet that they chose. we are living in a 1984 reality! right now they are already trying to put an increased tax on fast foo, and that's the truth. What do you guys think about all this?

paper joggers cost like 400 bucks for a cheap one.

all it does is vibrate so that paper perfectly line's up...

couldn't I just duck tape some cheap vibrators from an adult shop to the corner of a shoebox or something and achieve the same effect?

okay so I have these mini comic books I made that are going to be on normal 8.5x11 paper which will be folded and stapled.

-my comics are black and white (pure black, no shading)

-the resolution of the art is 300dpi

I have up to $400 that I can spend on a printer, I do not care if the printer itself is expensive what I need is a printer that has dirt cheap ink. I need something that can print 8 double sided 8.5x11's for under $1 worth of ink. And I need it to print at least 8 pages a minute. Also I don't want to have to swap ink carts constantly It would be extra awesome if it could print at least 200 pages per cart (which I would still need to swap often)

I test printed a couple copies on my leximark and the ink cost is just horrid, i can print 5 issues and than the cartridge runs out, which makes it cost me almost $4 for each issue.

please don't suggest Ka-Blam or other P.O.D. services, I want to print these from my house myself for a personal feel. thanks for any help you guys can offer I'm really scratching my head right now trying to figure this out so I can get back to making more comics.

okay so we all know all the cool games are on 360

left for dead

dead rising

gta iv DLC 1 and in Nov/Dec dlc 2

Halo 3

and many other great games you can't get on ps3

and we know that ps3 costs way to much and that were in a recession not exactly the time to throw down that much loot when all the coolest stuff isn't even on it

we also know that xbox has much better online

and that most of our friends own one (i know 1 person who owns ps3 and all my other friends have 360) and it's way more appealing to play with your friends online in games rather than randoms.

we also know that xbox has far outsold the ps3 2/1 and of course developers are going to focuses on the console with the most users

isn't it clear that xbox has won this generation? are there any details that would suggest otherwise? other than bragging that you bought a highly expensive system is there any actual advantage of having a ps3 that outweighs left 4 dead, halo 3, the orange box, ninja gaiden II, gta iv dlc, playing with your friends online ect ect ect

i would like to note that i hate sony for killing sega and i hope sony fails.

My question was deleted and a violation notice was sent to me but I can't figure out why here's my original question how can I reform it to meet the guidelines so it doesn't get deleted:

I need a custom flash mp3 player made from my art

I can't pay anymore than $50 because I'm very poor, but I'm highly trained in photoshop am a decent artist and am willing to do art for your own project as payment

I received a 40+ page fax today that was meant to go to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. I tried to stop the fax but it just got sent again. It has the social security and medical history of over 30 people detailed in it, it even says what schools they have gone to and allot of other private information that I shouldn't have. I called up Mount Sinai and told them and the secretary gave me a huge attitude problem because I did not call to speak to doctor or have an appointment. I was just trying to help and she exploded on me and kept calling me "sir" in a very mean tone before hanging up on me. I'm fairly sure that it is highly illegal to give this information out to random people, what should I do... Where can I report this, or should I call up these people (it lists their numbers) and tell them their information is being randomly faxed out.

everyday after I answer a bunch of questions it eventually says yahoo answers is "temporarily not in service" and does not work again till the next day... it there a limit to how man your allowed to answer and than it takes you to a "temporarily not in service" page, or does it really go down daily
