Opinions on gay rights?

Brianna Seaton @Briannalynn (3) • United States 27 Jul 13

This can go into a heated topic so please keep it civil! I am just wondering what everyone's perspective is on the topic. I personally think that everyone should have the same rights. It shouldn't matter what color you are, if you...

1corner I believe in people's rights, and anything that lets people have their basic human rights, I'll go for. This is a tricky issue, however, as "militant" gays have an agenda as a group that they're pushing for. If it were a matter of civil rights between 2...

marguicha @marguicha (222844) • Chile 15 May 13

Yestedday I was happy to recieve my cashout from mylot. It was bittersweet, as I knew it was my last one. I wondered (and I still do) : What next? Will I come to post in spite of the absence of money? That is not that important....

1corner Hi marguicha. How're you doing? Same for me. I just saw the notification in my email account. I agree - it's bittersweet (especially for me as it's my first & last). Will pop in once in awhile, like you, & see how it goes from there. Some conversations here...

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 25 Apr 13

Did G-d Know Adam and Eve were going to eat the fruit or was He shocked? I have been discussing Adam and Eve with friends here and I wondered what you all thought. Me? I thought G-d Knew what was going to happen Before it happens...

1corner If any of the previous commenters have read the Scripture saying God is Alpha & Omega, they'd have been able to say He knows the beginning from the end. He'd rather Adam & Eve would have simply obeyed & avoided all hell breaking loose on earth, but that's not...

The value of friendship

marguicha @marguicha (222844) • Chile 1 May 13

To many of us (or should I say, to most of us) yesterday`s anouncement mylot made was a hard blow. Many of us don`t like to have rules changed anywhere, most of us want any change to be explained in advance, all of us want a say...

Do You Have A Strategy For Keeping Up?

KrauseHome @KrauseHome (36448) • United States 3 Apr 13

With working full time, and trying to get my business going, lately it seems like time is really limited here. Actually lately, it seems like I am always falling even further behind than I used to be. Yes, great things are in the...

1corner Unfortunately, it's been the same with me. Unless we're determined & disciplined to take time to myLot, I don't see any other way to get "caught up". With the myriad of discussions on here, how do you pick & choose which to respond to? Helps too if we don't...

Child Custody Battle Gone Wrong

STOUTjodee @STOUTjodee (3573) • United States 3 Apr 13

You hear of nasty child custody battles of divorced couples, but to risk killing your children I think is the ultimate. Read the news story here news.yahoo.com/uk-couple-face-jail-killing-6-children-fire-135836175.html Apparently...

1corner So that's what it was all about - a divorce, and who gets custody of the kids? I was appalled when I saw it on the news, but didn't quite get what prompted it. I don't like the death penalty, but in this case, these adults should be considered for it, not...

1corner Sounds like there's a lot of troubled water under the bridge here, and it's been that way for some time. Like you, I wish you could have dealt with this sooner, long before you had your child. Have you ever tried asking your mom why she seems to "hate" you...

1corner I think your son really means he wants one - to substitute for his real dad. It's good that your brother is available to help out when he can, but he knows he is his uncle. That's different. I wish you both the best, and hope things turn out well for you &...

Why Do We Expect Women To Be Polite?

sensibleguy @sensibleguy (25) • India 13 Mar 13

1corner I agree. If men aren't required to do so, women shouldn't be either. I'd rather both display better manners, and not to call women "b**s" if they don't show the same respect as guys in the workplace.

About the singing in the movie Les Misérables

youless @youless (112481) • Guangzhou, China 12 Mar 13

Working Hard When It Is Hard To Work

adforme @adforme (2114) 11 Mar 13
