Why be married?

animemisa @animemisa (130) • Philippines 28 May 10

I've read so many discussions about marriage and trouble getting into it. I'm just wondering why should anyone would like to be married when they can stay faithfully with each other without it. Some are having a hard time coping...

GlitterExplosion There are a ton of legal benefits that the couple gets when they are married, which includes being able to see your loved one in a hospital, tax breaks, insurance through your spouse's employer, etc. Some people also want their relationship to be acknowledged...

GlitterExplosion I have been self harming for about eight years. People here have already suggested seeking help, but that's your call. Not to mention that this discussion is nine-months old. If you are not ready to seek help and/or recovery, that is understandable. Just...

Coffee drinkers: at what age did you start drinking coffee?

Bella75 @nixxi76 (3191) • Canada 25 May 10

My two stepkids ages nine and eleven drink coffee. I don't like this because I think they are too young to do so. I don't believe it stunts your growth but what I do believe is that it introduces the body to addiction. Not only...

GlitterExplosion I did not start drinking coffee until high school, and even then it was not on a regular basis. It was a latte or frappuchino every now and then. I only drink coffee or a regular basis while I am at college. Morning classes aren't fun. Children don't need...

GlitterExplosion I have been cheated on. The short story is that I decided to hook up with a childhood friend. I just didn't know at the time that he was dating three other girls, who were all unaware of the situation. To make things interesting, he hooked up with an...

Do you wonder if there is undying love in the world?

acegirl @acegirl (127) • China 30 Aug 08

I believe all of you have watched a film called Titanic. The love between Rose and Jack is undying. And it does really touch me a lot. So it makes me wonder if there is such love exactly in the world. As a matter of fact, that...

GlitterExplosion I think there us, but on the other hand it is a rarity. A lot of times people get married without figuring out if they are compatible together, or they can truly live together without the threat if divorce, etc. True love, as I believe, lasts forever. Love...

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 29 Aug 08

There are researches done about the radioactive actions of cell phones in the brain. Some cell phone providers brought out bulletins that the radioactive energy that comes from cell phones are negligible and will not cause brain...

GlitterExplosion The whole "do cellphones cause cancer or not?" is a topic that has been going back and forth. One study will say it increases the risk of cancer, while another study says that the radiation will not be able to effect humans. We are not going to get a clear,...

Alabama Wants to Tax Fat People

kellys3ps @kellys3ps (3723) • United States 30 Aug 08

Alabama is the third fattest state in the nation, and it is not going to take it anymore! According to this article: http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/alabama-fat-tax-44082808 The Alabama state government...

GlitterExplosion No. Weight is a tricky thing. What are they going to do about the people that are overweight due to medication, or other medical reasons? If they wanted to, some could switch, but why would they if it works for them? Or it might be a case where they...

Why is it still accepted to discriminate against obese people?

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 29 Aug 08

Why is it unacceptable to say derogatory things about different ethnicities, or colours, but it's ok to be mean to fat people? People are outright nasty to fat people, and I don't think it's right. I just saw a program where a...

GlitterExplosion I think, in a way, it is socially acceptable to discriminate against fat people or people that we perceive as being overweight. There are people out there that feel that being a "jerk" is either helpful to the other people or that they are just poking fun at...

GlitterExplosion Your best bet is would to put a certain amount of money aside, and put it in a safe place (bank, under your bed, piggy bank, etc.). If worse comes to worse, you can also use the money to pay for other things that come up. Note, it doesn't have to be a lot of...

Parents and students, what's your opinion on this?

djoyce71 @djoyce71 (2511) • Philippines 27 Aug 08

Some schools use homogeneous sectioning wherein they classify students according to average grades which means that all fast learners are together in one room and all the slow learners are together in another room. While some...

GlitterExplosion I think it makes sense to group people with similar learning styles together. When you are in a regular class setting, you might be that one kid who gets everything because you learn through listening, while the classmate next to you learns through hands-on...

Does 'odd pricing' lures you to buy?

richiem @richiem (3644) • Philippines 25 Aug 08

Do you see a product priced at @1.99 more attractive than $2.00? Does this pricing method somehow lead you to buy a product? In my case, when I see products with odd prices, I try to round the prices up to the nearest whole...

GlitterExplosion I usually round up, so it probably would not good for me. Nothing is truly $x.99. Most of the time it is rounded up---taxes, for example.

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 26 Aug 08

GlitterExplosion I have been 'disowned' by some of my good friends in the past, and it hurts to know that they usually did it when I needed someone to be there for me. A lot of ex-friends left because they didn't want to deal with my problems, even if I was there for them....

GlitterExplosion They do it to protect you because you are considered a danger to yourself, and maybe even others depending on the situation. Remember, suicide is illegal. (Even if self injury is not suicide, they might still be able to put you on suicide watch based on the...

GlitterExplosion I have kissed a lot of frogs, and in fact, I still am. Sometimes it takes time for that frog to turn into your prince, or, you might not even know until it is too late.
