The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Kinda like the guy that sells the how to learn computers. Burns thousands of copies for probably 10 cents a copy then ships them for "free" just pay S&H of 9.95. Has a total of less than $2 each in them and is making a $7.95 profit. In turn if he ships out 100k of them that $795k in profit. And if you are not completely satisfied send it back. So lets say he takes a hit of $20k getting sent back to him, he can turn around and sell the ones that got sent back. Why didn't I come up with that.

Not to mention the people that know nothing about computers actually do learn something and come back to buy other lessons at an even more inflated price!

It's just like the movie Office Space when they are talking about the guy who invented the pet rock. "The guy made a million dollars"

That site is a load of poo. When I applied for college three years ago, I checked out all of these "Government Grant" sites and they're all scams, as far as I'm concerned. All that happens is that you pay them and they send you a list of grants you could find all by yourself - for free. Not to mention the fact that the grants are ridiculous and you have to be in very specific categories to qualify - Male, between the ages of 41 and 42, who rides a unicycle to work, has a baby rhino for a pet, and only eats pork fried rice all day.

Any real government grants are listed here:

http://www.usa.gov
http://www.grants.gov


Give them a look, and good luck.
