Alright, I don't know about you guys, but whenever I hit the box that says "Don't show this message again" whenever that message pops up saying "Tags are good ways of summarizing your debate......etc." it never works! The message always appears and it never doesn't appear unless I take the time to either find a tag I support or make a new one. Am I the only one who has this issue or are other people experiencing it too?!

I'd like you to concentrate on poverty

Most people think it's collapse would cause immense harm and that we should do everything in our power to prop it up. Others think that "the economy" should fail and it's demise is long overdue.

Mum, I remember last week you said that I’m fantasising about saving for a new expensive phone.

Dad, when I first told you I was saving 300$ for a new phone you laughed and said “Yeah Right”.

I want to learn how to save my money. You tell me all the time to not waste my money on little useless things and save. Which now, I’m finally trying to do and you are taking the mickey out of it.

I think it’s time that you support me through this element of life!

“Parents can be strict on their children’s money” “that’s why we have designed and come up with a new and improved savers card” Says a man from a Westpac bank. In his eyes, he developed this card for a very good reason.

I have recently seen lots of kids at school spending their money on food at the canteen. The same ones come and go without thinking what they could really save and buy. To be honest that used to be me, now I’m changing that, and for good. Okay, so I may occasionally buy my lunch but that doesn’t mean I’m going to spend all my money at once.

So really the Question is... Do you ever wonder what kind of financial situation Graem or I could get into? Whether I’m poor or rich, there’s still going to be a chance where I will go through a hard time trying to save and pay for things. I want to save so that I will be ready for the future when it comes.

Mum & Dad. I think it shall be crystal clear to you by now that I want to save. So please take your time and help.

Every debate on here claims computers and the Internet as great accomplishments. Has any other accomplishments been done in the last twenty years?

Kissing up/ brown- nosing the only way to success or can one make it without doing these things?

Social networking i.e. facebook, myspace , twitter are all banded at my company.  I'm in sales and it's a great way to get to know your clients and vise versa.  What do you think? 

You don't need to respond to this at all.  Just check out the site.

I'm not really asking you to go onto wheresgeorge.com and find out where all of your money has been (maybe if it's there).  But I want some input... I recenly remembered this site and entered over $650 worth of US currency into it- my money and my dad's money.  So would you enter your money too? Or is it a huge waste of time?  I guess I'm advertising their site now.... :|

An investigation into how Alaska Native corporations are landing billions in federal contracts found the companies have seen dramatic growth over the past eight years and said the contracting has totaled nearly $24 billion during that period.

The Senate Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, headed by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., released some of its early findings Tuesday, in advance of a July 16 hearing she plans to hold on Native contracting. From 2000 to 2008, only one-fifth of all contracts awarded to Alaska Native corporations were performed in Alaska, McCaskill's committee found.

It also found that last year Alaska Native corporations received 19 percent of all federal contracts awarded to small businesses.

Special contracting rules for Native co rporations have allowed them to "qualify for large contracts while circumventing the normal competition process," McCaskill's office wrote in its report. About 70 percent of those contracts were awarded through the Department of Defense, which gave Native corporations contracts for security and maintenance at military bases, among other services.

For anyone at the workplace, you are well aware of the fact that a suffix (or credential) extends far beyond the typical "MD" or "PhD".  The use of "MBA", "PMP", and a host of other industry specific abbreviations are starting to popup after people's names more frequently than they had in the past.

Is it socially acceptable to add these 'lesser' credentials?

I've had a lot of jobs, and my favorite days are always the last. Recently I quit one of my jobs, and right now I am experiencing my last shift. They're always just like any other day at the office, but with a sense of hope, wonder and fear mixed it.

I haven't planned on telling my douchebag boss off, but I really want to. It wouldn't be hard, but I'd much rather just say, "You're not paying me to tollerate you anymore, so peace." If I did tell him off it would be epic, and I wore a hot little white dress just to let him know what he's gonna be missing.

So my question is, do you have an interesting story about you last day at a job?

Most up-votes wins.

Teens should be encouraged more to have jobs and save money at a young age.

I know people that are almost 20 years old that have never had a job. Then I go to work at the grocery store and see people in their 40's and 50's at a cash register.

Something is wrong here.

Don't you think that all teenagers should start working and saving money earlier? So that they can get those crappy jobs over with?

Some may notice i am not native-english speaker but hope you understand what i am trying to debate.

In my experience in our country, most workers work more than 16 hours a day.

Good for someone like workholic, but bad for someone who eagers to spend its time with family.

If you have choice, which value will you take?

$0.01 or 1¢

The penny

We all know pennies are too worthless to carry too many around at once.  Of course, it's used as spare change by some.  Do you use pennies?  Do you go out of your way to get rid of them? Do you save them and turn them in at a coinstar machine years down the road? (This works.  My parets accumulated over $1,500 in 13 years of spare change) 

What do you do with pennies?

The economic crisis sweeping the world has even hit German brothels.  People are holding on to their money more and eliminating any cost from frivolous things, like sex.  This could be bad news for the 400,000+ legal prostitutes in Germany.  Is this bad?

Ghost writing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost-writer) is the practice of one person paying another to write material, after which the credit will be given to another person in return for payment, usually without any credit to the actual author.

Personally, I find this no different than a kid in school paying another kid to do their homework, and most people agree that that's completely unethical. From a social perspective, I see ghost writing as a form of fraud, since someone is selling a book under the impression that they've authored it themselves, when this is untrue.

Is ghost writing (specifically where the true author receives no credit at all) different, and if so, how?

Many people have debated on either side of the issue, some saying that AIG is too big to fail, and some saying that it's best for the country if we let it fail.

Is AIG "Too Big to Fail?"
