Well I'm raising money to go on a trip and my friends and I are having a car wash in our school's parking lot...just an idea....oh also you could also have a gold party! theyre super fun and basically you find a company that does this (they do it to raise $$) and you have your mom invite friends. The friends bring their old gold jewelry and get the gold exchanged for money. Then the host (you) gets 10% .....our friends had one for their adoption and she got over 700$ from just 20 somethin people comin....good luck! and have fun...
24 :
I'm currently raising money to go on a class trip to China in a few months and i would definitely NOT recommend selling any kind of candy. It takes a lot of work and you do not receive a lot of the profit. I would have a jewelry sale or something like that at home. You can buy nice jewelry for cheap prices from wholesalers or at gift shows, then sell them for their retail value (usually around twice the wholesale price- or more!) You could also send letters to local business owners or family asking for donations. Hope that helps!
25 :
1)saving money you would usually spend on cinema,snacks ect. 2)selling old clothes,game consoles ect. 3)car washing 4)get a part time job/work extra hours
26 :
What are your hobbies; cooking, writing, pets, children, etc. Try to do what you know or think you can do good at. Then tell your friends to do the same. All three of you can save up money and use the potluck system. All chip in and use it evenly on transportation and somewhere to rest. You only have like 2 months so start within the week. Get a job(other than fastfood or cashier). Try to join some freelance(you write stories so you don't go into work, you work at your own pace.) job along with chores. Go around and try to book all your weekends with odd-jobs. It may be very tedious and boring, but it all pays off in the end. Never go with instant gratification(going out on the weekends). P.S. My family is native to South Korea, your going to love it.

I understand that freedom isn't free but what does our freedom have to do with occupying other nations?
I hear people say this and I agree but they apply it to our occupation of other nations. Germany isn't a threat I don't know why we are there. The Korean problem was never our business and I have no idea why we have troops protecting South Korea. Poland, Greece, whereever else we have military bases makes no sense and does not apply to our freedom at all. If anything the money we shell out each year to police the world is robbing us of our money, our freedom, and our image across the world. Shovel ready our enemies are our enemies because of our foreign policy. That is why we are attacked by terrorists and why we have enemies. I am not saying these people should be that way to us but they are that way. It is the truth and I know the truth hurts, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with a missing seat but it hurts nonetheless.

Is it me, or does President Obama seem more interested to appease the global community than helping America?
Is it me, or does President Obama seem more interested to appease the global community than helping America?
With his mixed and unknown past, there is arguable evidence he is Pro-Palistine. He seems to send mixed messages to what the popular opinion is at the time to what is going on in the world, but fails to hear what Americans want and need. Failures: forcing through a health care bill, creating more government, increasing spending, not utilizing the stimulus moneys before more spending. Popular opinion: Today standing with South Korea against the sinking of their ships months later, Can't make a decision with Israel (a strong allie), backing out of strategic defense missiles to appease Russia, no strong words without action towards Iran. I would like to note, i am not siding with communism, but i see with Obama and his adminastration, that he just may be. (on most issues) Americans need to think about America, and once we fix our own issues then we should worry about the rest of the world.

Why doesn't the world unite in freeing North Korea?
Why doesn't the world unite in freeing North Korea?
This is gonna be a bit long but please try and read it. There are countless numbers of people starving, being tortured, forced hard labor, brainwashed, etc in North Korea as I type this. The atrocities are equal to Nazi Germany or the Soviet Gulags. Why isn't there some invasion along with covert operations to completely dismantle the country? Defectors of North Korea all tell us that we need to stop "talking" to them and start having action, they are making nuclear weapons and do nothing good for the world. They are even kidnapping Americans, Japanese, South Koreans, etc! And sometimes these kidnappings take place in countries you'd never expect NK agents to be in. Sure one could argue that they have nukes now so we can't invade them but, I doubt that they could even launch their nukes, and their only nuke isn't very powerful, and I'm pretty sure the countries in the most immediate of danger have technology to shoot down any incoming missile. Sneaking in professional teams to assassinate any head honchos in NK would be easy, especially if the entire world participates (except China in guessing). And after the assassinations, a full scale invasion would render them inoperable without a high command. Their troops are starving, they have outdated weapons, and unlike Iraq/Afghanistan there isn't going to be any guerilla warfare likely, the citizens aren't armed so it's easy to identify friend from foe. The biggest threat would be China, but does anyone really believe they would help NK? They wouldn't risk that with their current economic progress, plus they wouldn't risk pissing off a huge alliance of countries, for a country with hardly any economic standing. Also, we beat back the Chinese in the Korean War to the 38th parallel and the only reason we didn't push was because of the threat of Soviet invasion in Western Europe, but since the Soviet Union is gone, there is no more threat. The final arguments I could think of are, why would anyone volunteer to fight NK, and too much money is being spent already. Well, soldiers join the army to fight not to sit in a base all day, and also this fight wouldn't be for capitalist greed, but rather for humanity. I really can't understand why there can be no good will in this world without some economic backing. And as for the money thing, I think ridding the world of a psycho leadership, saving millions of people or more, getting rid of a nuclear threat, uniting a country, and just making the world a safer place is worth the price. So really, why doesn't the world (or most of it) unite for this cause? Thoughts? The UN needs to realize the US isn't the only country with a large military and ability to fight. And I add this for anyone who says too many innocent people will die: There are ways of disabling people without killing them- shock weapons, sleeping gasses, special rounds, etc. Biscuit: If you ask me, I'd say you're just accepting any wrongs that happen in this world. A very uncaring attitude. It doesn't matter that they think their actions are morally correct, because with that logic, Nazism and torturing of possibly innocent people is acceptable. While in the long run they may be morally "right" or we are morally "right," we should stand up for what we believe is morally "right" and take down anything that goes against that. I'm sure the non- brainwashed citizens of NK would agree. Kek: The US government doesn't torture either right? Looks to me like you don't know what YOURE talking about.

It is the U.N.'s job to do this! We have our hands full right now!
2 :
Red China is still blocking it as they have done since the end of World War 2 because they are paranoid of having a pro Western country on their border. Which seems rather absurd to me since their economy would collapse and become as bad as North Koreas is if we pulled all of our factories out of China.
3 :
The world doesn't care.
4 :
The first reason it can't happen yet is because our military has been downsized so much that we don't have the troop numbers to invade North Korea. The second reason is the U.N. is a joke. Most countries in the U.N. expect us to do everything for them. Unfortunately, the liberation of North Korea will probably not happen for a long time.
5 :
The world cannot go around trying to fix the problems all around us. Besides, how do you decide which morality compass to follow? North Korea tortures, but so has America. Should the world knock out North Korea and America? Only North Korea? Only America? Or leave both in place. If you say one and not the other, why? You could say the magnitude of the problem, and I suppose that is a legitimate reason. But at what point is torture just one too many? When do we set the limit? And does that mean that every country then starts torturing, just so long as they make sure they don't pass the limit imposed by an as-yet-to-be-determined moral compass? Does who they torture matter? Because we could say terrorists are okay, but not criminals. But then we go into that whole "are terrorists criminals?" question, and then you get into a whole legal fiasco right there. There's also who counts as a terrorist. North Korea has just convicted two women, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, as spies. Does that count as terrorism, since they are convicted of selling national security information? It doesn't matter if they actually did it or not, they were convicted of it. Would that not give North Korea justification, if we have it for terrorists? You are stepping into one h*ll of an international law legal mess; one that not even American morality might survive. To accept that we control our own morality, we have to accept that others (including North Korea) maintain control over their own. add-on: And so are you. You believe we have a moral high ground, when we do the same things. Fix America before attacking North Korea. America has great ideals, but few follow them. We pay lip service to them, but we do not actually follow them. We do the same as North Korea does, though we hide the truth from ourselves better than they hide it from themselves.
6 :
North Korea is a sovereign nation, and its government generally only harms its own people. Most "moral" countries will not invade a country that has not attacked them first. The doctrine of self-determination is so strong, worldwide, that very few countries will act preemptively, and those that don't will likely be angry with those that do. If the US were to invade North Korea now, we may get UK and South Korean support. The rest of our allies will denounce the decision. China and possibly even Russia, may be so upset that they step in to help defend North Korea. And while China currently focuses much of it's economy on US consumption, it would not be that difficult for them to switch to European or Asian consumption, instead. And China now has nuclear weapons capable of reaching the United States. They didn't have this capability during the Korean War. They are a much larger threat now, than they were then.

I was reading along when I found that you argument is illegal. The US does not assassinate leaders of foreign governments and that would not be sanctioned by the UN. So we can stop there and say you don't know what you are talking about. ~

Should the world knock out North Korea and America? Only North Korea? Only America? Or leave both in place. If you say one and not the other, why? You could say the magnitude of the problem, and I suppose that is a legitimate reason. But at what point is torture just one too many? When do we set the limit? And does that mean that every country then starts torturing, just so long as they make sure they don't pass the limit imposed by an as-yet-to-be-determined moral compass? Does who they torture matter? Because we could say terrorists are okay, but not criminals. But then we go into that whole "are terrorists criminals?" question, and then you get into a whole legal fiasco right there. There's also who counts as a terrorist. North Korea has just convicted two women, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, as spies. Does that count as terrorism, since they are convicted of selling national security information? It doesn't matter if they actually did it or not, they were convicted of it. Would that not give North Korea justification, if we have it for terrorists? You are stepping into one h*ll of an international law legal mess; one that not even American morality might survive. To accept that we control our own morality, we have to accept that others (including North Korea) maintain control over their own. add-on: And so are you. You believe we have a moral high ground, when we do the same things. Fix America before attacking North Korea. America has great ideals, but few follow them. We pay lip service to them, but we do not actually follow them. We do the same as North Korea does, though we hide the truth from ourselves better than they hide it from themselves.

North Korea is a sovereign nation, and its government generally only harms its own people. Most "moral" countries will not invade a country that has not attacked them first. The doctrine of self-determination is so strong, worldwide, that very few countries will act preemptively, and those that don't will likely be angry with those that do. If the US were to invade North Korea now, we may get UK and South Korean support. The rest of our allies will denounce the decision. China and possibly even Russia, may be so upset that they step in to help defend North Korea. And while China currently focuses much of it's economy on US consumption, it would not be that difficult for them to switch to European or Asian consumption, instead. And China now has nuclear weapons capable of reaching the United States. They didn't have this capability during the Korean War. They are a much larger threat now, than they were then.

I was reading along when I found that you argument is illegal. The US does not assassinate leaders of foreign governments and that would not be sanctioned by the UN. So we can stop there and say you don't know what you are talking about. ~

Government offers money, if guys don't get prostitutes???
Government offers money, if guys don't get prostitutes???
SEOUL (Reuters) - The South Korean government is handing out gifts for office workers who promise not to visit brothels this holiday season. "If you promise yourself to make it a healthy night out at the end of the year, and if you recommend this to others, we are giving lots of prizes," the Ministry of Gender Equality said in an Internet posting. The ministry is offering to pay companies whose employees pledge not to buy sex after what are typically alcohol-soaked, year-end parties. A ministry spokesman confirmed the campaign but declined to answer questions about it. But a ministry official told the Korea Times daily: "Korean corporate culture that includes heavy drinking is also what makes buying sex acceptable as a way for male-bonding, which is proving to be a hard-to-break ritual." The ministry is offering movie tickets based on the number of employees who pledge not to visit prostitutes as well as a cash prize of 1 million won ($1,077) for the company which enlists the most employees in the campaign. Many South Koreans were bewildered by the plan, saying it was a waste of money and gave the impression that South Korean men cannot keep away from brothels. "Do they really think men buy sex every time they have a dinner party?" wrote one Korean on a comment page of the South Korea's largest daily Chosun Ilbo. the Ministry of Gender Equality spends $20 billion U.S. dollars every year.
