Three Children - Three Daddies

purplealabaster @purplealabaster (22091) • United States 7 Feb 10

I was just thinking about a conversation that I had a while back. An acquaintance was telling me about this woman that she knew that had three children by three different fathers. From the way that she was talking, I was...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Interesting discussion you have going here. I have to say I don't see the problem, and not just because the kids all see their dads, and are included, or that she was married to them, or anything of that nature. The truth is we have a tendency to try to judge...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Assuming that the blind gentleman has never been able to see I would run cold water over his hands and say this is the color blue. After that I would tell him a sad story about someone who has been heartbroken and say this is also blue. Then I would wait until...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Like many others my childhood memories are pretty vague. I do remember (thanks to having to do this recently) being the antenna in our house. We had an old floor model set at my grandma's and for some reason me sitting on it, or standing by it was the only way...

trust or honesty?

careguarden @careguarden (5670) • Philippines 29 Jan 10

In relationship with your family,friends or love ones, which do you value most, trust or honesty?

honesty

trust

5 responses

Dedgurlsingstheblus I would have to agree with the others who have posted here. I can't trust a person who isn't honest, it's the reason me and my dad don't get along, he thinks it is perfectly acceptable to lie, or keep secrets, I on the other hand may keep other people's...

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 31 Jan 10

I'm sorry, I just saw this term in a POLL somebody posted! What the heck sort of term is this anyway? Is AFRO considered a race or something now or is the person that just posted the poll an idiot? Also, I still don't understand...

Dedgurlsingstheblus As far as I know Afro American is an old PC phrase which, as I mentioned to the blue bunny in this discussion, is related to the popular hair style that socially conscious black Americans wore during the civil rights period. African American is the more recent...

Do you think we will have free health insurance in the USA?

KicDash @KicDash (89) • United States 19 Jan 10

One thing I know is that a lot of people can't afford to pay the bill when they go to the hospital. Some people think they don't need health insurance because they think they will never get sick. But soon or later you will get...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Do you mean will the United States ever adopt a single payer health care system, or that health care will be as free as the air (which is only free at the moment)?

What if you never get to say "I Do"?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 19 Jan 10

I think most of us, women, would have had a moment in our lives when we'd dream of how our wedding should be. Not just the material stuff of the occasion, but the feeling of how it is when someone professes their love for us and...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Hey laydee, While I think for the most part folks want someone to love and to love them, the proposal part isn't really about women at all, its about society making it seem as if a proposal is the only way that love is truly capitalized on, in addition to...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Hey There Spoof10, I took a look at the video you linked and I wanted to ask why you posted it? To me it seems every now and again the pictures of starving brown people resurface but less to encourage people to send aid, and pressure their governments to...

Are children to be treated as possessions?

shobhan51 @shobhan51 (376) • Malaysia 1 Jan 10

I believe children are born through us, but they are not our possessions. By this, I mean that though we care, love and nurture them, as they are part of us as parents, we cannot control their lives or decide things for them. Some...

Dedgurlsingstheblus I read through all the responses on the first page and saw how much of a variation in what people consider controlling without specification. So I would like to know what you mean by controlling? Can you please provide a concrete example?

Dedgurlsingstheblus Hey what's wrong with bookish? lol! I think bookworms are cute, ecspecially the kind who find out you are really into something, and they learn about it so that you can discuss it. Once I told a guy about this book that had really changed my life, do you know...

Dedgurlsingstheblus Hey Aaron do you think you can explain to me what you mean by peace? If anything, I think peace can't be attained because when we talk about peace or world peace we never specify, we talk about these terms like everyone will just understand what is meant. For...

Do you Long for Someone to Love you?

maria1081 @maria1081 (1251) • Philippines 31 Dec 09

One of the topic we usually refuse to talk about is longing for someone to love us. Since for some reasons longing is a sign of weakness to other people. Is it normal to long for someone to hold, and knows how to love without...

Dedgurlsingstheblus I was raised to believe that a woman was nothing unless she was in a relationship. I had good grades, I was funny, and I had friends, but I still felt incomplete. While I said, as well as the women in my family, that there was more to me than what a guy...

Sourceseeker @Sourceseeker (1197) • United States 24 Dec 09

Dedgurlsingstheblus Hey again, Sourceseeker, I was going through my RSS feeds and came across this link which discusses Avatar as a metaphor for the U.S./Iraq war. I thought that you might like to read it. The link is www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/48770.

Why most women tend to fall for bad boys?

maria1081 @maria1081 (1251) • Philippines 26 Dec 09

Ladies, who would you choose Mr. Nice guy or Mr. Bad boy image? To whom you are easily attracted to and why? Have you experience choosing a bad boy rather than the super nice guy?

Dedgurlsingstheblus Hey Maria1081... You know every time I hear or read the name Maria Kim Ah Joong's Blondie cover from the 200 lb Beauty Soundtrack. Anyway, as some people have mentioned I do believe that part of the attraction to the bad boy is excitement, perceiving...
