I volunteered for HFH for awhile. Their financial model is a wreck. Might as well give thousand dollar bills to homeless people. Your money would be in better hands.

Default rate on habitat homeowners is near 50%. The houses cost 1.5 times market rate in their neighborhoods to build INCLUDING volunteer hours. And the 'needy' are typically in apartments that need very little repair to make improve their lives, compared to subsidized mortgages.

The concept is ok but a colossal waste of money considering half of the people eventually lose their house anyway.

I think each region is self-directed so if you've had better experiences in your neck of the woods I'd love to hear it.

You all evidently are either girls or sissies. Watch any number of skateboarding videos, etc... This was funny... and even when blood and guys spurt it's still funny... and then you call 911 when the breathing stops... but yes, stupidity is funny....

I laugh at BP... and cry for the fishes...

And why is anything not work not productive? We would gain HUGE productivity if we stopped eating and sleeping... It's be a VERY productive few weeks until we all dropped dead.

Imagine all the lost productivity during sex and raising children? Is playing pac man with your child a bonding experience or a waste of time?

Seriously.. strap my corpse to the MACHINE until I rot away....

Lack of lead causes autism? Do we have less people with mental defects since 1985? It certainly doesn't seem that way... Why isn't our health improving from all these new things? Yet we have obesity, autism, diabetes, asthma, etc..? Bring back smallpox, it seems safer. At least it killed off the whiners.

HUGE HUGE hassle factor to find the exact item on the coupon, and yes you are forced to buy tons of stuff you don't need. Stocking up is fine if you have a large family but 1 and 2 person households don't need the abundance of large containers. So factor in the overpriced items being couponed and the irrational buying behavior and you really could do better simply buying from bulk containers or growing a garden rather than playing bingo with coupons. Don't play their game!

Just read this article, it's ridiculous. Facebook and twitter are not essential to life. Wired forgets how 90% of the world lives. The people in this article couldn't find anyone over the age of 40 because they forgot what a phone book looks like...
