Browisn Yes, since getting an iPad I must admit reading has become fun again. I was switching to an audio book reader because I am a slow reader anyway and it is getting hard to read the small print of some books. But with ebooks you can adjust the...

alyssum90 @alyssum90 (46) • United States 8 Nov 11

Anyone have any suggestions for new fiction books to check out? I'm not to picky when it comes to fiction books. I prefer fantasy, sci-fi, or mystery genres, but I'm open to any type. If you recently read a book you really...

Browisn I love most of James Patterson's books. The last one I listened to on Play away audio was, "Now you see her." It was great. I highly recommend it to anyone one enjoys Patterson novels or just likes suspense and action stories. And the reader in the audio...

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32191) • United States 13 Nov 11

Have you ever encountered or felt something within four walls that makes you think, maybe the devil has a hold on someone or something? Do you believe that spirits, whether they be good or bad, can live within an object, or a...

Browisn I agree with this advice and wish I would have followed it in times when I thought I would have lost when I probably would have won. Also, a positive attitude and steadfast resolve can change the most stubborn minds.

stressed out

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 11 Nov 11

I have come to the opinion the we are programing our citizens for hate. More and more I hear people in just common conversations expressing strong hate. This is not for person reasons, the hate is aimed at some one in the news, or...

Browisn I agree with you and I would like to add that I believe we are also being vaccinated against death and terror. We are subjected to more and more killing and mutilation through TV programing as well as redundant media coverage of events that are very uncommon...

Support America Buy Made in America for Christmas

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 8 Nov 11

I received an email that made me think. What if we purchased as much as possible of gifts made in America. It may be difficult but what would happen if people bought gift cards that supported local merchants. It is said that every...

Browisn Hi Bobmnu, yes I like the idea of buying our Christmas gifts from US made products as well as boycotting all foreign made products. I think it would help even more if companies that have outsourced our manufacturing plants to overseas workers should be...

rebel_woman06 @SIMPLYD (90722) • Philippines 8 Nov 11

Browisn This is a good topic. I also do and say careless things that I latter regret. But, I believe if we know it was just a careless act and not done maliciously, we should not punish ourselves or others for these actions. God knows our inner thoughts. We do these...

Browisn I don't know about this news personally but I suspect one of the above stated reasons could be correct. Afghanistan has not survived very well as an Independent nation over the past century at least, so it is reasonable that they would not want to loose the...

Who created "evil"?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 6 Nov 11

Browisn I like your reasoning. As it is also scientific in that cold is the absence of heat and dark is the absence of light. Ergo, evil is the absence of good. One problem I find with this hypothesis is that it sometimes takes action to maintain good unlike cold and...

Browisn Age means very little when it comes to maturity and intellect. If I only had friends my own age there would not be too many to choose from. I am 64 and most of my peers are sleeping or eating. hahahaha!
