I've been living with Jim for the last year and a half, and we intend to marry, BUT I don't think I want to take the relationship to the next level now. Currently we are struggling to pay fines that he ran up by not paying a bill;...

Alesma Hello Scorpio If I were in your place, I would probably wait and see (not long) if your significant other is willing to change his ways (I doubt it). Otherwise, I would leave him. From what you write I fail to see anything positive about your partner....

Alesma Hello Sunshinefame On reading your post, I must say that you should adopt a more critical and cautious approach towards outside world. I know that trust is an important value, but it should not be limitless. As you say, there are good people out there, but...

Can we saved through faith alone?

Fulltank @Fulltank (2882) • Philippines 14 Aug 12

There are religions who says so, simply believing in Jesus Christ as the way to salvation. Some think that it is faith plus work. God will save people who do good deeds but it should be coupled with faith on him. My question...

faith

salvation

Alesma I think that no one can give you a correct answer, as this is a matter of pure belief, and belief has nothing to do with reason. In my opinion, people should make good things naturally without thinking of any rewards. Otherwise it reeks of hypocrisy. Each...

How to prevent these massacres by insane people?

DoctorDidi @DoctorDidi (7018) • India 13 Aug 12

The recent incident of shootout at the Denver suburb of Aurora while the midnight premier of ‘The Dark Knight Rise’ was being screened by a masked man killing 12 people and injuring 50 others, highlights the need for stricter gun...

Alesma So who is to blame? Or let's say who is more to blame? We may discuss it over and over again, but we aren't likely to arrive at a satisfactory answer. I think it is because of the fact that there are more factors that can play a key part in incidents like this...

friend or foe?

khashknight @khashknight (33) 10 Aug 12

When it comes to making friends either online or in reality there are so many risks you have to think about. Gone are the days when you could just bump into someone in the bar and basically be friends, What I mean by this is...

Alesma Therefore I have only a few friends who I have known since my childhood. I think that people you befriend at a later stage of your life are less likely to become your true friends.

Alesma I will just add that being successful can be thanks to people who can pull strings for others. Having said that, sometimes it is important that you have certain people in certain places to help you climb the career ladder.

Addicted to coffee

grandpa_lash @grandpa_lash (5225) • Australia 8 Aug 12

Alesma I like coffee, but I believe that drinking coffee is a kind of ritual for me. So I drink it daily after lunch. I could do without it, but it would be difficult. Consequently, I am addicted to it too:)

Alesma My kids used to watch them when they were about 2-3 years old. They enjoyed watching The Wiggles on Youtube. Here in the Czech Republic they are not well-known, as they are not shown on TV. Our favourite song was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:)

Alesma I hope Roger manages to beat the last opponent, as for me he is the one who really deserves to win the Olmypic title. I think he is the most gifted tennis player in the last 30 years.

Alesma Despite being mature enough, I have never asked myself these questions. Why? Is my attitude wrong? To tell the truth, I don't care. What I, however, care is my family and friends who mean a lot to me. It's them who provide me with consolation and joy. I do not...

Divine Inspiration

grandpa_lash @grandpa_lash (5225) • Australia 1 Aug 12

What goes through the mind of a believer when he/she tries to defend his/her Holy scripture by quoting from that same Holy scripture as proof? It's like a criminal acting as judge and jury in his own trial. It's quite demonstrably...

Alesma In my opinion, if you ask a question of whether someone believes in God, it is even more important to ask what idea you get or what comes into your mind on hearing the word God. I consider myself an atheist to the intent that I refuse to believe in the...

Given the chance, would you prefer to know when is the date of your death?

dierdre @dierdre (2207) • Philippines 27 Jul 12
