Breaking the Bieber fever
I live in detroit. there is nothing to do, no where to do. this bankruptcy stuff only makes us look worse than we are. and we are bad,.
I doubt you are ‘bad’.. But certainly things right now are not working the way they should.. Thanks for the comment.
I'm from Detroit but go to college in Ohio and every time I visit home it seems to get a bit worse, more abandoned houses, etc. I love Detroit because it made me who I am but we've got a long way to go. I really wish the media would show some of the good about the city though.
The media will never show positive images, or tell good stories. Positive doesn’t sell.
It is always a shame to see your childhood memories become defunct with time and with economic conditions. Thanks for the response.. I hope everything will work out..
I am from Detroit, and I dont get why the media is so hard on us, even the pictures you posted make us look like Bosnia in 1994. We are a proud people, with history, but extremely bad leadership. The only reason we are bankrupcy is because of those in charge. Sadly it's like a mafia run city. Except the mafia would do much better.I bet you will be afraid to print this
Interesting point on the MOB. Well taken.
I am brave enough to publish
Detroit files for bankruptcy
The city of Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history Thursday afternoon, culminating a decades-long slide that transformed the nation’s iconic industrial town into a model of urban decline crippled by population loss, a dwindling tax base and financial problems.
This is rather unprecedented..
From all those images of a vacant and deteriorating Detroit to this basic admission: They are broke..
I trust that the spirit of the city strong.. I’ve never been there. But I would sure love to hear from people in Detroit about this. Answer this post or send me a message on my open lines page.
I am not from Detroit.. but if you’ve driven through the coal region of PA, you may see that we have some stuff in common.

The NSA Admits It Analyzes More People's Data Than Previously Revealed
As an aside during testimony on Capitol Hill today, a National Security Agency representative rather casually indicated that the government looks at data from a universe of far, far more people than previously indicated.
A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend…heard it from a friend who heard it friend who heard it from a friend you were snooping around..

Terrible news.. tragic news.. and potentially criminal issue..
Update: 23 dead children in India simply for eating a school lunch.. This is such a horrible story.. That is their only crime in life.. eating a school lunch . And now of course the 'government will investigate'.. And I am sure find allllll the ‘answers’.. There are already some answers, at least some bits of information, being released: The food was laced with pesticides..

Troubling news..
Syrians are fleeing from war at a rate not seen since the Rwandan genocide..
That comes to us from the United Nations..
According to the UN, the number of people fleeing the conflict in Syria has escalated to an average of 6,000 a day during 2013 - a rate not seen since the genocide in Rwanda nearly two decades ago, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday… And if anyone remembers those dark days in Rwanda, go back through amnesia lane and treat yourself to some horrid history from the mid 90s..

This is a little crazy..
Censorship simply because of a cover image..?? Too much, America.
What is not about the first amendment that gives everyone such sh&t fits?

The Worst Way To tell Someone They’re Fired
Damn autocorrect! I’m trying to fire someone here.
Why you should not fire someone via text message..
The man with no memory: Navy vet wakes up, speaks only Swedish
Stories like this always blow my mind. Imagine this: A Navy vet goes unconscious, wakes up without a memory, and speaks Swedish. That frightening concept is exactly what happened in the case of Michael Thomas of Florida, who was found in a Motel 6 in Southern California by police.. He now believes he is Johan Elk of Sweden..
Bizarre stuff, isn’t it?
What secrets lurk in the minds of men—especially when they lose all memory and allow their brains to work without stopping..
