Should the toilet seat be always put up or left down?? Just some toilet issues..

cyclopz @cyclopz (251) • Sydney, Australia 28 Feb 12

I have noticed that different people have also different practices especially when i moved away from home. Back at our place we usually return the toilet seat up, im not quite sure why but maybe we just got used to it or possibly...

Fire10 Yeah, status-quo is leaving the seat down... but if everybody uses their brains... it will never be a problem. I mean seriously - it does get annoying to always have to lift the seat up. In my opinion - as annoying as it would be to fall in the toilet - the...

Fire10 Bigotry - by definition - has nothing to do with any specific opinion. It has more to do with how you regard those with whom you disagree. You can have an extremely strong and inflexible opinion, but you only become a bigot when you are intolerant of other...

Fire10 Yeah, I think skin color is obviously associated with opportunity, but that family environment and values have a bigger role in determining opportunity - they're just harder to see and measure.

Fire10 Yeah, I'm not a big advocate of the whole "oh wups, you just happened to slip into eternal damnation - Sucks for you!" attitude. Much like I don't think people slip into believing = instant eternal reward. But there are clear rewards for those who seek and...

Which side are you? The scientific or the religion side?

viney17 @viney17 (688) • Philippines 1 Oct 11

So there are two opposing accounts of which we humans and living things are created. The Scientific Side - we are created because of some statements we call theories as they are not proven yet. Like the bigbang theory, steady...

Starting my period halfway through a pack of pills, are they still effective?

vulgarlittleprincess @vulgarlittleprincess (919) • Canada 3 Oct 11

For the past few months I've been starting my period halfway through a pack of birth control pills. I take Alesse. I asked the pharmacist why that was happening and he said that the estrogen level was too low for me and to get a...

Fire10 Ahah! I feel great! I get to answer a question and be helpful! - in your situation you need to use a back up method to be sure. If the hormone isn't high enough to suppress menstruation, how can one be sure it is high enough to prevent ovulation or...

Naked while taking shower in the shower room.

alokijon @alokijon (665) • Malaysia 2 Oct 11

I read from the internet, all of the boys are taking shower naked at their school shower room after their sport training etc. I am not sure whether it is a must. In Asia, being naked in front of others is really embarrassing. I...

Fire10 Personally, I wish the US were more like Asia in that respect. Here the girls almost always have individual cubicles for showering, but for guys - not so much. It has honestly bugged me for years... sexist? I don't know - disparate treatment? Yes. Especially...

Blessing of Pets

Tomorrow we are going to our first blessing of the pets. I think it is a wonderful idea and a way to bring your pet closer to the family. It sounds exciting, with all types of animals coming to the event. Everyone has to put...

Fire10 PETA would like this... Personally I find this beyond odd as a religious practice. People can do what they want but I see no Christian foundation for it - seems kinda like Playstation side by side with sermons. Maybe someone could fill me in on where this is...

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 28 Sep 11

Eating too much is not good?

This is what the bible says and most of us knows the reason why. But for you what is the reason why eating too much isn't good to our body?

Fire10 In my opinion, obesity is a disease itself. Messes up the way our bodies work in ways that decreases its ability to function properly and increases one's chance of dying - yeah sounds like a disease to me! Back in the day fat was a sign of health and...

Fire10 Yeah, I'm going to pharmacy school right now. I'm of the opinion that if I don't need it - I just try to go without. For example, I have headaches every once and a while, but I rarely take anything for them. They go away by themselves so what is a little...

Fire10 Yeah, so they tested this in people with 'mild to moderate' asthma and it is proven to slightly improve breathing tests for 2 hours and may possibly work for up to 4 hours. Just make sure to keep your inhaler close by ;)
