People who expect other people to perform miracles. Case in point, people who expect the police to solve every crime and every incident in a matter of minutes.

I think that also goes to those who think the judges should solve a small dispute over a nickle or something the court system should never have to deal with.... both Police and Courts are used to air petty squabbles of 5 year olds when there time, money and efforts should be out dealing with real issues. People who miss-use the system there to protect and serve might not be the best of folks

Thumbs down .

My x-ceo will be heading to federal prison for 6 years of insider trading and some other counts of corruption and misconduct while he ran the corporation. He got 6 years in medium security prison and he received 25 million dollars for insider trading while everyone else lost their stocks and savings.

I’ll take 25 million for 6 years. That’s earning $477.00 per hour 24 hours a day 7days a week 52 weeks a year for each of the 6 years. Yes! Crime pays. The down side of this is he gets no vacation time off.

How about children who think their parents can miraculously produce money for them 24/7 whenever they say - Mom (or dad) I need this for school tomorrow lol

People who are armed prevent crime... But yes, too many Americans expect the "govvermint" to take care of their every need and want. But wonder ahy taxes are so high.

Don't forget that he also gets room and board, and you and I pay for it

That's how it happens on CSI. Any crime can be solved in 60 min, if you have enough commercials.

Sorry to hear this but glad he got caught.

People who constantly complain about their health, allergies and the cost of medications etc ... but ... make every excuse under the sun to avoid living a healthier lifestyle.

I can’t understand why people don’t recognize this fact of living healthy by eating and living a healthier lifestyle. You don’t have to go off the deep end, just realize that prescription meds are not always the best thing for you to begin with. Listen to their disclaimers at the end of the tv commercials and you’d want to die of something other then taking their prescription.

I don’t eat enough vegetables however I take as many natural vitamins, minerals, and herbs as reasonable to help keep me in good running condition. However these items cost nearly as much as my monthly food bill, but I’m healthy because of it.
