ElanaS1 I didn't know we had a men's day. We celebrate Father's Day here. I do think it's great to promote better male role models, many who we conventionally think of role models such as sports figures and entertainers can let us down. (Although we probably shouldn't...

Palin/Beck in 2012??? RRUUUNNNNNN!!!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 19 Nov 09

I've heard this several times today that Sarah Palin has floated the possibility of a White House run in 2012 with Fox's Glenn Beck as her running mate. "But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. He gets his...

ElanaS1 Almost hope it happens, because they could never win. Palin totally scares independent voters. Of course it somewhat scares me people would consider her presidential material to begin with. Even if she had the global intelligence, she does not have the...

getbrowser @getbrowser (1708) • China 19 Nov 09

When you turn on the computer, have you got the habit of logging on MSN and other kinds of IM services and tools? Have you ever thought that the record of your chat may become the evidence of dismiss? According to a survey,...

ElanaS1 I have never had a job where it would not be totally distracting to make a lot of personal phone calls or "chat" at work. I don't blame employers for firing people who chat instead of work -- I mean if you were paying someone to do a job for you, would you...

ElanaS1 The ocean, especially the rocky coast of Oregon. I also love the forest, but I see the woods more often than the ocean. I would love to see South Australia, it really does look spectacular!

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 18 Nov 09

Today while shopping for one of my clients I ran into an old friend. We have known each other since our teens. I told her that she looked very tired. She said she was tired and depressed. I asked her what was going on with her and...

ElanaS1 You sound like a good friend. You are right, there is always something good in our lives. Some people get in an early bad habit of seeing the glass half empty and it never changes. If one takes positive action in some direction, usually in the direction of...

ElanaS1 Here in the U.S. we experienced several years where, if you did not agree with the conservative values and the policies of the then-president, people would say you were not patriotic. It was a "if you're not with us you're against us" attitude that was quite...

Do you think wikipedia.com can be trusted?

nheansocheath @nheansocheath (308) • Cambodia 17 Nov 09

When ever I need information to help me in my assignment, I start googling it and the result is on Wikipedia.com. Most of the information I need is available on Wikipedia. But after I join Academic Writing Class in my university,...

ElanaS1 No, they can't. During the presidential election, people threw up propaganda and lies onto Wikipedia and it took awhile to get removed. Not a good source. The regular encyclopedia sites are heavily researched and reliable.

When someone asks forgiveness, do you easilty forgive?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 18 Nov 09

They say that a mark of a truly generous person is that he could forgive no matter what deed was done to him. Most psychologists also say that unforgiving person are really persons who hurt themselves instead of the other person,...

unforgiveness

ElanaS1 Bearing grudges is unhealthy. I will always forgive a person who is big enough to apologize. I may avoid them afterwards through distrust, though. Maybe that is not truly forgiveness, but it is sometimes a lesson learned about that individual.

CSI, True Crimes, Investigative Reports,Law and Order schooling criminals

sharone74 @sharone74 (4837) • United States 18 Nov 09

I think that a lot of the true crime shows, and investigative reports into the horrendous crimes and all of the details of what happened I think give a lot of sick people ideas. Ideas that they may or may not have had before. I...

ElanaS1 I don't agree. I think that a person either has a criminal mind or not. I am not going to commit a crime just because something is shown about it on television and someone may have gotten away with it. Besides, there have been many books for years on crime....

ElanaS1 It's true there are people like that, but certainly not everyone is. I can't imagine disparaging the people who I love behind their backs. Maybe I am not the smartest or the wealthiest but I'm rich in the love in my life. I don't think loyalty is dead.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 18 Nov 09

It is such a playground in politics here. Name calling. No central ground. For or against and if you don't agree the inevitable happens. Someone hits the negative button. It primarily houses Americans who show no interest in...

ElanaS1 I do not discuss politics at websites such as this. I see everyone, no matter what their political viewpoint as only human. We all know our own hearts. And we will not sway anyone to our point of view through expressing it. Rather we mainly draw people to...

ElanaS1 It may be selfish, however if someone has ever been that depressed, they can see why it occurs. I feel nothing but compassion for anyone with so little hope.

ElanaS1 I don't know where you work. But some companies are willing to provide a bank of personal use computers. Maybe they would want contributions from employees if it's a small business. Alternatively, maybe you could pick up one of those netbooks that aren't...
