Question #1:

Selling my truck- can I say no to someone that wants to buy it for the advertised price?

I have received a lot of interest in my truck since listing it for sale yesterday on Craigslist but an auto dealership wants to buy it right now for the price I am asking. I do not want to sell it to a dealership. Do I have the right to say no or is that discrimination?
I too agree that I must have set the price to low to have so much interest which is a bummer for me. When the dealer comes to see the truck in about an hour can I tell him I raised the price? It seems really shitty for me to do that but I really love this truck and am only selling it because it is not right for our family anymore. I know I can sell it to someone (not a dealer) and feel good about the person buying it not some money hungry dealer. Arghh
Update- I increased the price to $14,000, ditched the dealer and have a few people coming over to see it today even at the new price :)

Question #2:

What have the liberal Democrats in US congress done for you lately?

So far, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner in the White House has been very articulate and continues to earn support because of his rhetoric. Beyond words, what have all the liberals in congress done? After all, we are still:

- Occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and rattling swords at Iran.
- Without single-payer universal health coverage.
- Consuming dangerous food additives like MSG and aspartame.
- Subject to child targeted advertising promoting toxic food with excess fat, sugar, and salt.
- Lacking adequate laws to help unions get a foot hold.
- Moving toward globalization and corporate domination of the world.
- Failure to stem international trade agreements that have pushed unemployment up in the US.
- Failure to reverse the Patriot Act.

So far, I'd give the Democrats in US congress a big fat F. I'd give Obama an A+ for rhetoric and a big D- for making the changes he promised during his campaign. The true corporate establishment colors of the Democrats are becoming crystal clear.

What real change have the Democrats in US congress done for you over the past 30 years? Beware of politicians who promise one thing and do something different. It's time for real change, not just window dressing.

Do you really think the first lady will attack the fast food industry? Do you really think establishment Democrats are the answer to these systemic problems?

Question #3:

Do you think Lindsay Lohan has rocks in her head?

She is giving E trade multiple millions in free advertising and doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the lawsuit... what a stupid milk-a-holic. Why help them out stupid stupid girl..?
Macho .. Your not doing a very good job of that yourself huh?
It's our (the U.S.) legal system that is being clogged with this lawsuit.. as a tax payer this would make it my business.

Question #4:

Can you think of one gov program that worked as advertised and didn't cost a lot more than promised?

I can't seem to to think of any.

I do know of things that haven't worked that were run by the government.

Response to Katrina

Medicare has $74 Trillion in unfunded commitment

Social Security has $14 Trillion in unfunded commitments

Part D for Medicare has $18 Trillion in unfunded commitments

Health insurance was given to us by FDR's price control and wage control policy. It was a way to get around his control over people. Now the same side wants to control us more in other ways. Like tax sugary drinks

We still have open borders and we are at war with terrorism.

ETC ETC.

There is my list. Are the supporters of Obamacare supporting it on what is possible and not actually probable?

Question #5:

My boyfriend is a registered sex offender and he is moving in with me. I need advice.?

My boyfriend is a registered sex offender.

We have known each other for 16 years and been together in a relationship for 1 year, long distance.

When he was in his early 20's he paid to subscribe to a website which was advertised through an unsolicited email. He joined for one month and looked at images of what appeared to be young women in there late teens / early 20's. He part downloaded a video and realised that the person on it was clearly underage, unsubscribed from the website and that was the last he heard of it.

Two years later he was arrested as the website had been closed down and all people who had paid to subscribe were arrested. He was initially informed that he would probably have only a caution due to the circumstances. Images from the website were in the Computer Cache (all thumbnails from every page he viewed, around 1000 images). They weren't "Saved" to a folder, only in the Cache. The unsolicited email couldn't be found as the case was investigated 3 years later.

He doesn't find young people sexually attractive, has never attempted to meet with a child etc... and finds the whole concept repulsive.

Question #6:

TNATION are you having doubts about the new monday night war?

i was shocked to find out that TNA only did a 1.0 against RAW. It blows my mind away for sure. TNA without a doubt had the superior show in terms of excitement and wrestling. WWE was same old same old..

dont get me wrong, i think we all knew that WWE was going to win in the ratings, that's a given. WWE is the popular brand b/c it is more known. TNA is just really getting out there, despite the fact that they have been around for 7 years.

@ sharkboy TNATION SOLDIER: yea man, apparantly, in today's world, for some god forsaken reason, fans must prefer a purley entertainment show with minimal wrestling that is redundant (that means repeating, over and over. same stuff everyweek basically is what i'm saying, for those who dont know) (and i use that term loosely) instead of good solid pro wrestling mixed with entertainment.

part of me feels that this move to monday nights was a HUGE mistake and happened way to soon. the other part of me is saying that it was only day one, in time, TNA will rise in ratings and not to give up hope on that. hell, WCW started out small and it rose to crazy heights.

in general TNATION. i dont know what to think honestly. the expression "rome wasnt built in a day" comes to mind, but at the same time....you cant help but wonder....despite being the pg era, to deny steve austin still holds star power would be foolish....if TNA did a 1.0 this week, how bad would it be next week????

only thing i can say is dark times in pro wrestling......i miss the 90's so much its rediculous....

and for the record::: i know WWE marks will tell me i am "whining" i'm NOT "whining", i'm stating the obvious....i've seen quite a few of you admit that TNA put on a better show, but WWE got the ratings..

TNA needs to do some serious advertising...bottomline..they dont air enough commericials and just dont advertise like they should... if i see 4 TNA commercials per week, that is more then usual, its crazy.

Question #7:

How do I get in the newspaper or advertise for free?

My videos are free to watch so I want to contact spanish speaking radio stations or television stations and get them to announce the release of these series. Anyone know where to report NEWS? ;) thanks

Question #8:

Question #9:

Help with Essay corrections?

This is a little part of my essay on "teenagers and the drug culture" does anyone notice any spelling mistakes or punctuation errors ?( I always put commas in the wrong place ! )
thanks in advance !
(my essay is crap by the way ,I will be lucky if I get a 4 in it !)


Many young people experiment with drugs in their teenage years. For some, this leads to addiction and even death. So what are the drugs that are tempting teenagers to live so dangerously?
The drug most commonly used my teenagers is alcohol. I believe so many teenagers drink it because it is widely advertised and available for them to use. Also young teenagers see alcohol being used so widely at social occasions, such as weddings and parties that they get the impression that it is acceptable to drink. Alcohol has also been reduced in price in recent years, so it is easy for teens to get hold of cheap “booze” especially cider. Teenagers who are too young to drink or don’t look eighteen are sometimes forced to stealing alcohol from their parents, or they obtain alcohol through older siblings or close friends. I think teenagers drink at a young age because they think it makes them look cool and sound older, but the effects of it are not. At some parties where alcohol is available, there always seems to be at least one friend who is sick everywhere or passes out and makes a complete fool of them self. If this is so, then why do people drink so much if they know the consequences?

Question #10:

Is there any risks of advertising my donation link on yahoo answers?



Question #11:

what do you think about teenage girls dressing sexy?

you got girls in middle school walking around like they are in the vip at some night club. you are driving along some street and come up on a group of girls dressed like this and you think to yourself "yeah i'd hit that" then you drive past them and notice they are maybe 13...maybe!!

ok so do you a) think it's fine girls can wear whatever they want? b) it's not ok they aren't old enough to advertise there bodies when they aren't even developed enough to do so.

any additional thoughts feel free to post them. best answer goes to the answer with the most detail.

Question #12:

Advertise through mail?

How much does it cost to have a brochure or flyer sent out too all the houses in a particular zip code?
Pizza places are known for advertising this way with coupons. I want to do the same thing, but in a very specific zip code or area.
Where can I get this done?

Question #13:

I noticed at the store Log Cabin syrup was labled "No High Fructose Corn Syrup"?

... but on the list of ingrediants the first thing was CORN SYRUP! And on their website they don't give a list of ingrediants but do say that their syrups are now made with real sugar.

Sure this is a very smart advertising scheme to get people who are trying to eat less HFCS to buy their products, but it's pretty messed up to have it listed as real sugar on their website.

any thoughts?

Question #14:

Is there an automatic image downloader capable of downloading images posted on forums?

I already have NEOdownloader, but it doesn't seem to handle dynamic URLS. There is another program called "bulk image downloader," advertised to automatically download images from message forums--but either it doesn't work or I'm not smart enough to figure out how it works. I read the manual, I tried thousands of different things, but no matter what I try -- it only scans the current webpage, and won't find images on the links.

Any other ideas?

Question #15:

Advice on Careers for Business Management?

Hey, I am currently a freshmen at a community college. I will be transferring to UC Santa Cruz in the Fall of '11. I have a transfer admissions agreement with them, where I will pursue my goal and major in Business Management.

My question is, I am currently undecided on a career. I know it may be a bit early, but I always want to look ahead.

I've loved the game of basketball forever, particularly the NBA, and would love to work for the business side of the Association. Marketing, advertising, dealing with salaries, etc. I know a lot about the salaries and numbers part of the NBA, and have always been interested in those type of areas.

With that said, my question is, what would you recommend as a potential career in the Business Management field - preferably in the field of sports?

I was thinking about getting an internship with the Developmental League of the NBA.

Any advice and input would be much appreciated. Please and thank you!

Question #16:

Is there any creative ways to advertise my website through my youtube videos w/o putting it on the video?

Anyway of using annotations,captions,etc.

Question #17:

Do those who believe that corporate advertising in campaigns be prohibited also believe . . .?

that newspapers be prohibited from running editorials endorsing a candidate? If not, why not? It's a corporate expenditure, an "advertisement," naming a candidate but not formally coordinated with the campaign.

Actually, "media corporations" were exempted from the prohibition struck down by the court. Should they be? Isn't their influence even greater than a business corporation whose communication comes in the form of an "ad," versus a nightly newscast or daily paper?

And what constitutes a "media Corporation?" Could any business organization with a public relations newsletter qualify? That would then be "freedom of the press," would it not?

Is the problem that some people have with the decision the fact that corporations are involved (again, The New York Times is owned by a corporation), that large sums of money are involved, or that people will be swayed by the message? What is the specific concern, and how did exempting media corporations address that concern? Thanks.

Question #18:

Question #19:

Krusty the Klown episode?

What was the episode title in which Krusty the Klown is taken off air because he's advertising for his new book entitled "S-E-X"?

Question #20:

am I dealing with a bot/spammer or a real person?

A girl from a "different" city got a new Facebook account and added me and a few of my friends (all in the same network). The next day she put up some sexy pics of her. She said hi to me in chat and asked where I'm from etc...

How did she find me and why would she adds me? I don't even have ANY pictures or much info on my FB so it can't be because "I'm hot". I don't even have a profile pic. So that makes me feel she's someone I know trying to stalk me or pull a prank on me.

I somehow don't think she's a spammer or a bot, but rather a real person. Because if she was a spammer, she should have way more friends than just 8, and they are all in my network. Also, if she was a spammer, then shouldn't she be systematic and do the same thing to all my friends? I asked my friends and they all don't know her. But some said she chatted with them too, and a friend said she didn't chat with him but posted on his wall. Another dude said she didn't do anything.

So mostly she's a real person?

oh, and she added some females too. If she was a spammer advertising sex stuff , shouldn't she only adds males?
