New actors taking on old popular roles...

Centregeek @Centregeek (500) • United States 6 Aug 07

Does it make you cringe when a new actor is hired to play an already established and popular character or do you get excited at the possibilities a fresh face will bring? I have mixed feelings on this issue. It brings a bit more...

Is the 'Legacy of the Force' killing the future of Star Wars...

Centregeek @Centregeek (500) • United States 24 Jul 07

Fans have long debated what makes Star Wars special for them. It may be the action, the relationships of the characters, the aliens, the space ships, the nature of the force itself, etc. Whatever it is, Star Wars is a saga that...

What was your first reaction when you saw the two planes hit World Trade Center?

natalie1981 @natalie1981 (1995) • Singapore 20 May 07

I just watched World Trade Center on video last night and it just brought back memories. I remember that I was passing by my father in the living room and he was watching tv. I stopped when I saw the video of a plane crashing...

Centregeek I was at work and when a co-worker said you've got to see this a plane just hit the world trade tower, my first reaction was disbelief and utter shock. I couldn't believe that it was happening. It is becoming easier with the recent events in the world to...

When pranks go too far...

Centregeek @Centregeek (500) • United States 18 May 07

Most people enjoy a harmless prank every now and then, especially when no one involved has to endure negative consequences as a result of it. Having said that, what should happen when pranks go terribly wrong? A recent incident in...

Centregeek Thanks for the response. I had not heard about the two girls making the prank call, but it is a very serious situation. I don't think people take the time to think about the consequences of their actions all too often. Of course we have to consider that we...

How often should you get a raise or earnings increase?

coolseeds @coolseeds (3919) • United States 16 May 07

I own a company and pay people $6 per hour to start. I would like to start people out at a higher pay rate. Most of the people who have applied suck and do not deserve minimum wage let alone more than $6. However I will give...

Centregeek A raise is great, but if you want to attract better quality long term employees, I would consider looking into what benefits you can offer your employees. Are there ways you can improve that? Most people looking for a job that are thinking about loyalty to the...

How much water do you drink in a day?

mamacathie @mamacathie (3928) • United States 16 May 07

I am trying to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I have been trying to do this for quite a while. I can tell a big difference when I do not drink enough water in a day. I just don't feel as well as I should. Drinking a...

Centregeek It is great to drink a lot of water and water is better for you than too many soft drinks, but you don't have to drink 8 glasses a day. That 8 glasses a day thing is a myth. The main thing is to drink enough to keep your body hydrated and to help keep your...

do you want to get old... or die young?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 17 May 07

What a weird question isn't it?! Heehee! Anyways, I just want to let you know that I can read people's minds. In fact, I'm reading yours right now and I know your answer for this question... It's "GET OLD" Yipee! I'm...

Centregeek I think that we would all like to find that fountain of youth and remain as young and vital as we possibly can for as long as we can. No one likes to think about getting old and possibly disabled. Like you pointed out, there are so many things to do in life...

Clothes for little girls these days leave a lot to be desired.

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 15 May 07

The clothes they have for little girls today are getting on the ridiculous side aren't they? If they aren't showing too much midriff they show too much chest. The skirts and shorts look more like "daisy dukes" and make you wonder...

Centregeek I would have to agree that often little girls are made to look too grown up just by what they wear these days. Some of the sayings on them send the wrong message to people who take advantage of little girls, what we call a child predator. I know that it is...

recycledgoth @recycledgoth (9894) 16 May 07

What Is It That Makes You Smile?

trinidadvelasco @trinidadvelasco (11401) • Philippines 15 May 07

From the moment I knew that smiling and being happy is healthy for us and keep us younger longer, I keep it as a habit to be smiling at most times. I found it even more rewarding when I see that people that I meet at the streets...

Obese kids-what do you think?

4cuteboys @4cuteboys (4099) • United States 15 May 07

I have seen some shows like Maury that have very obese youngsters. The parents feed them cheeto's, pizza, cupcakes and a bunch of other stuff and say that they have to do it, the kids demand it but that it isn't their fault the...

Centregeek I think that you are right, children don't need to form these poor eating habits at such a young age because they will carry them over into adulthood. It is an unfortunate thing in our society that food is often associated with love and parents and other...

Centregeek There is nothing wrong with you asking your daughter to help out around the house at her age. She needs to start learning more responsibility and how to do a few things for herself. She is challenging you and you need to stand your ground. She still loves you,...
