foursox212 @foursox212 (282) • United States 23 Jun 09

For those that hate the direction this country has been going, who would you like to see run for office against Obama??

Jangalajim I'd say, let's wait and see what happens in the next two years. Let's wait and see what transpires from now to then. President Obama seems to be a thoughtful type person who is trying to get people to work together and iron out differences. The country and the...

Who's the Bigger Threat, Iran or North Korea?

sierras236 @sierras236 (2739) • United States 19 Jun 09

Who do you think is the bigger threat at the moment? Does anyone else think its scary that Biden's one prediction has actually come true? I think it is North Korea at the moment since Iran is busy with all the protests. I...

Jangalajim I'm not so sure either is a real threat. When was the last time the US was attacked in a full scale invasion? War of 1812, I believe was the last time a full scale invasion of the US from another country occured. I've noticed that democratic governments...

Jangalajim Have you ever heard of the term sword rattler. Well, he's either trying to gain the attention of other countries or else he's trying to make himself look good for the people in the No. Korean government that keep him in power. So, I just consider him a sword...

Am I speaking to the REAL you?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 28 Jun 08

I don't like to share too much personal information when I'm talking on the net. I don't tell fibs, but sometimes I avoid going into too much detail. How about you? Is the person I'm reading about here on myLot or elsewhere...

Jangalajim I've heard it remarked and It appears true that just what "the real you" is, it will never be known. That is because we are all the sum total of our experiences. Attitudes and ways of handling people in life tend as you gain more experience. Or, from another...

If jokes are off-limits on MyLot, then why is there a humor section?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 Jun 08

I was just browsing the various categories and found the Humor interest forum on MyLot. Funny thing. I thought that posting jokes was against TOS. I guess the two things are different. What do you think about this? If...

Jangalajim I suppose some jokes can be offensive and it's hard to determine if a joke would offend someone. Only the person hearing the joke can determine if it's offensive. So, what do you do, decide what's offensive or just stay away from joke telling totally.

Jangalajim I sometimes like bananas, especially on a hot day. But, here's a strange one. A man from Jamaica told me that bananas are not people food in Jamaica. Anybody form Jamaica care to tell me if this is true.

Do you eat the apple peel? Do you always peel fruit before eating?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 25 Jun 08

I love to eat apples. Most times, I wash the apple or pear thoroughly and then cut into pieces. I eat the fruit slice, peel and all. I've heard that the most nutritious part of an apple is the peel. So I never pass up the...

Jangalajim Generally, I eat the whole thing and sometimes I'm tempted to eat the core and seeds which you would do if you mixed it in a blender. I'm too lazy to peel the skin off.

Procrastination is KILLING me!

shewolf52002 @shewolf52002 (1214) • United States 26 Jun 08

Not really but some days it seems that way. This is a bad habit that plagued me for years, what are some innovative ideas for breaking this nasty habit? "Hi, my name is Brenda and I am a procrastinator"

3 responses

Jangalajim Well, I found the best way to end procrasination is to put off handling it until you handle everything else. Funny, but I've done that and it works. You get a lot of things done but then you won't have time to deal with the procrastination if you get real...

Legs or Arms?

lexridley @lexridley (231) • Tokelau 2 Oct 07

Which would you rather lose if you had to - your legs or your arms?

Jangalajim well, without legs you can't walk anywhere unless you learn to walk on you hands with your head pointed downward. But, of course, you could always be in a wheel chair and make the wheels do you walking. But, if no arms i would be hard to use the internet. Hope...

At the end of our life, what do you want to be remembered for?

adoremay @adoremay (2065) • Philippines 25 Jun 08

Honestly, I haven't thought of it. I have never wanted to be a saint or something, and I am not also applying to become also. But when my end time comes, I am not hoping for the whole world to remember me, but what is enough that...

Jangalajim I keep thinking about the people that I've been able to help but for them, I'm just another traveler on the highway of life A wise man once told me that the only thanks he wanted for helping another was for that man to go and help someone else when he can.

Jangalajim Well, the way I see it, no matter one's religion, that religion has a wide arrary of personalities. In every way of life, there are extremists, and the main body of believers don't even like to associate with the extrmists because they won't listen to your...

Jangalajim @Jangalajim (56) • United States 23 Jun 08

When situated with an indecision, how do you get yourself going? I've heard it said that it's better to do something than do nothing. I've heard it said, on Star Trek, that they aren't looking for officers that always do the right...

Jangalajim Good point, I've never considered no action being a valid decision. Sometimes no action is the best choice, at least until you can understand the situation better. Even military and business leaders will make sure they have enough data before taking...
