http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8puLaQJr1Rk He believes we should build a large fence that is 100 to 150 miles of electrified fencing. Put Lesbians in one pen and then build another one for Queers and Homosexuals. Well he...

BeckyAnn People disgust me with what they think they can get away with inflicting on other human beings for the stupidest reasons. Anyone who believes that genocide can solve anything is a witless facsimile of a human.

Jury duty

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 4 Apr 12

In the USA we can have trial by jury if we request it. In order to fulfill this committment all citizens between 21 and 70 can be called for jury duty. There are many ways to avoid this duty, but unless you fit into one of those...

BeckyAnn There's usually no need for a CSI in civil cases, though... I'm not old enough to sit on a jury yet, but I'm currently majoring in criminal justice and yes, experiencing a trial first hand definitely can give you an appreciation of our justice system. I'm...

Do you get haunted by past decisions?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 13 Jan 12

I'm currently sitting on one of the bigger mistakes of my life. As I continually dwell on this mistake, I keep getting haunted by the exact moment I made the decision which led to this mistake. And the 'haunting' manifests...

BeckyAnn I always end up trapped under my decisions and regretting everything I do. It's hard for me to stop and focus on things I do right--I can't even find them! Those kind of memories can dog my steps for years...I never remember them quite that clearly though.

"A sigh of relief for me"

6 responses

BeckyAnn Heh, I felt the same--to the point where I installed AdBlock. It works wonderfully. Sometimes I end up disabling it to click ads to help someone I know on-line, but I'd rather have that little difficulty than deal with the endless slog of advertisement I'd...

did grimmjow jaegerjaquez die

mclovinn1515 @mclovinn1515 (3) • United States 12 Sep 11

We all know that after his fight with ichigo he lost and Nnoitra (the 5th espada) blindsides him and wounded him to an even further extent than ichigo did BUT!!!!!! it was never said that he died.....So my question is if he didn't...

BeckyAnn [possible spoilers for anyone who's too far behind on Bleach.] Grimmjow isn't confirmed dead--in fact, Tite Kubo refuses to answer questions about both his and Ulquiorra's deaths. However, he is far from the last surviving Espada if he is alive. a new...

Interest on saving is extremely low, How would you use your money

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 30 Oct 11

On the lately report of finance times, many people would less likely put their money on savings, since the interest rate is extremely low at the moment, around 0.1%, it is next to nothing. They rather put on shopping, which boost...

BeckyAnn If I had enough money to spare, maybe about 500 dollars or so, I would invest it on a Certificate of Deposit. CDs are low-risk and pay higher interest than savings accounts at the cost of easy access. They have to be held at the bank for a predetermined period...

Character descriptions: is less more?

Awinds @Awinds (2468) • United States 27 Aug 11

I keep seeing contradictory advise all over the web on this. Some say that to much description of a character's looks, traits and clothes drags down the story and is the sign of an amateur writer. The people who take up this...

Awinds @Awinds (2468) • United States 24 Aug 11

BeckyAnn I don't like animated ads. They force you to pay attention, even if you just want to go on your merry way. They compromise your attention by blinking in your peripheral vision--I can't stand them. D: They're everywhere, so that must mean they're doing...

BeckyAnn The radiation from cell phones can hurt you if you keep your cell phone very close by, and the light from it and the ever-present urge to use it can affect your sleep. So, aside from cancer and insomnia, there's nothing much wrong with it. ;D

Pay by the mile car taxes - what do you think?

Awinds @Awinds (2468) • United States 15 Aug 11

There is currently a proposal to tax American citizens for each mile they drive (www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42919365/#.TkmGdGsbMlM). This would most likely involved putting some kind of device in each car that would allow the government...
