  4. Oh... One thing I noticed in this clip that's bothering me... He says "300 adults committed suicide..." I disagree. These people were held at gunpoint. Sure, there may have been some, or even many, who were delusional enough to drink the poison willingly... but for the most part I would call this a "mass murder" not suicide.

  6. I didn't stand the opportunity of being approved because the financial institution required a big level of collateral that I simply couldn't provide quick loans with the secondary market such good
    shape, primary lenders happen to be eager to assist students with
    no-of-control costs.
