Recently we did some cleaning house and deceided to put some of our “finds” on Ebay. We spent a whole day cleaning it all up and listed it for free on Ebay. We started ebaying back when they first started and did well until 9/11 hit. After that we would go on ebay from time to time to sell.

Most of the stuff we listed got bids and sold. What we did not realize was ebay changed some of their fee structures. They now charge 9% of the shipping price plus a percent of the final selling price. When all was said and done we made a total of $7 for a days work. Needless to say that is the last time we ebay unless it is to buy.

They are not very user friendly anymore either. I was telling a friend of mine about our experience and he gave me an ear full. He had listed a guitar on ebay and it sold for a couple hundred dollars. When the buyer received the guitar they complained it was not what they wanted and wanted a refund. My friend said to send the guitar back and he would refund the money.

After going back and forth for a while my friend noticed money missing from his paypal account. It seems the buyer complained to paypal and they refunded his money out of my friends account. Not only did he loose his money, he was also out a 2 hundred dollar guitar. My advice is be very careful selling on ebay. They seem to favor buyers and crap on sellers any more.

Thanks

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. To the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Now that is politically correct in my book.

What exactly is politically correct and should we really follow it. If you call someone a certain name society says it is politically incorrect. Lets say someone you know is a pain in the butt. Instead of calling them that should you call them a hemorrhoid. Throughout history names were made for people but today’s society finds them offensive.

When I was growing up a gay person was Queer. Now you have to call them Gay and even if you use that word in a sentence like oh that is so gay it is wrong. Blacks were known as Negros and now days the Politically correct term is African Americans. Italians were Whops but now the politically correct name is Italian Americans, Orientals were Gooks, but the politically correct name is Asian Americans. Every nationally had a name but now you have to be politically correct about everything you say.

Now is it politically correct that the politicians take prayer out of school and God out of the public eye. Instead of standing up and defending God we choose to let so called leaders take him out of the public light. This country was founded by God fearing men with the notion that people would be free and fight for that freedom. We fought to make a life and had God fighting with us along the way.

They are building mosques for Islamic followers and setting up prayer rooms for them to pray. So why then can’t we have the word of Jesus taught to us. Why is it they keep him out of public buildings that were built on the foundation of God. Every religion on earth can have free reign in America except Christians. The sad part about it is Christians are the ones who do the most good in the world.

These are the same people who have our world in financial turmoil. If they can’t run the economy what makes you think they can make sound decisions about our religious beliefs. They are afraid that God would be watching over them and condemn them for their wrong doing.

Since they took God and Jesus out of the public this world has become a cesspool of corruption. They are taking our job security and our way of life and replacing it with empty promises. They are in debt so far that it would take a miracle like Jesus Christ to bring us out of it.

This is a ploy to run our lives and put us under their thumb. I don’t know about you but I like having my freedom and not having a Government trying to run my life. If we are not careful all of mankind will end up being robots to people who can’t even run their own lives. Every day you see the news that another politician is being arrested for something.

Stand up for what you know is right before our way of life gets more and more sub par. Visit this website below:
