Q ( paraphrased )
I am working on doing crunches every day and getting sharp pain in my lower back, mostly on an decline crunch.
A- More than likely your lower back is experienceing the pain from lack of support and years of gym teachers telling us the wrong ways to do crunches / sit ups. First thing you should do is get a balance / pt ball - they are fairly cheap and will help get rid of back pain, and work your abs harder than a normal crunch.
SEcondly are you doing any exercises for your lower back? That too could be the problem. basic reverse crunches may help strengthen the spine and those core muscles in your lower back to help.
Do you get the pain any other time? If so I would consult a chiropractor, it could be something else.

That's fucking weird. I'm at work and I was just thinking my back was sore from doing crunches. Thanks for the mind read!
"Liberals believe government should take people's earnings to give to poor people. Conservatives disagree. They think government should confiscate people's earnings and give them to farmers and insolvent banks. The compelling issue to both conservatives and liberals is not whether it is legitimate for government to confiscate one's property to give to another, the debate is over the disposition of the pillage."
