Does it matter to you that the things you buy for yourself are branded?

bren_yrra @bren_yrra (354) • Philippines 26 Nov 09

I know of a friend whose belongings are all branded even if it cost a lot.He says that even if it is expensive, it lasts or it will take years for her to use it.But one time, she was sad because her branded shoes were stolen.On...

Bevsue It used to be that if you bought brand name items they were made better from better quality materials and would therefore last longer and work better. This is no longer true. Now it seems to me to be very foolish to pay extra money for certain logos. I...

Why do people love being poor?

jellymonty @jellymonty (2352) 26 Nov 09

This really buffels me.. I was reading the economist magazine and statics show that in America 70% of Americans who work retire on a pension that is just an average of $200 a month, 20% are living just on a shoestring and the...

Bevsue Your statistics are REALLY off, so you have the wrong idea of how things are in America. If the article said the average American has only a $200 per month pension, they were probably referrring to private pensions paid from the companies people worked for. In...

Bevsue Sounds to me like he has a wife or a girlfriend and was just trying to fit you in at their convenience. You can certainly do better than this. And if he is so cheap this early in the relationship, he will probably want you to pay for everything before too...

The slavery of cellphones

pillusch @pillusch (1147) • Mexico 22 Sep 09

First of all, let me talk about how I use my cellphone, so that you understand where I´m coming from. I use it, would you believe it, as a phone. I have a landline in the apartment I recently rented, but I disconnected that, since...

Would You Allow a Stranger to Slap Your Toddler???

LadyMarissa @LadyMarissa (12148) • United States 3 Sep 09

http://www.foxcarolina.com/news/20690136/detail.html This happened near Atlanta GA... A 61 year old man slapped a 2 year old child for crying in Wal*Mart. He didn't slap her just once, he slapped her 4 times. Of course, all...

Bevsue Of course this guy was completely out of line. You never slap some one else's children H-O-W-E-V-E-R I am frequently apalled at how many people just let their kids run wild in the stores. It is so obvious that there is a lot of bad parenting going on and it is...

What Would You Do if It Turned Out that Obama isn't Eligible to be President?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 15 Jul 09

This isn't a discussion about if you think he is or isn't. I'm more interested in hearing what you would do if he isn't. Would it matter to you? Would you back him and continue to support him as president? Would you acknowledge...

Bevsue He would not be eligible and would have to be prosecuted for his crimes and all those who allowed it to happen--and there are many I am sure-- would also have to be made to answer for the deception and fraud. Until we make people answer for their misdeeds we...

Errors or changes in American English?

Colmuc @Colmuc (707) 18 Jun 09

Bevsue You are correct in your examples. Unfortunately Americans are lacking in language skills. It was bad enough when they stopped requiring two years of a 'foreign' language to complete high school, now it seems we cannot even write and speak our own language....

Bevsue Death in a dream doesn't mean you are going to die. It can simply mean that a change may be happening or that you are going to a new phase, etc. Your mind is trying to get you to pay atention to something going on and it used a dramatic episode to get you to...

What is your least favorite reality show?

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 7 Jun 09

For one, I'm getting tired of Survivor. It has become very predictable lately. I long for the suspense of the previous seasons where you're not entirely sure of who's going to be voted off the island. Now, it's just like knowing...

Bevsue The whole reality TV thing just leaves me cold. They have always seemed so phony to me. You know, of course, that they are scripted, so therefore they are not really 'reality' shows. It depresses me to realize that apparently there are not enough 'creative'...

Can a daily shower be bad for your health?

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 4 Jun 09

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 1 Jun 09

Do you have many days where you don't leave the house at all? Not even to sit outside. For me, leaving the house happens less often than staying home does. I don't normally have places to go, and I'll only leave when I have...
