Joker25 I've heard it said that extremists and suicide bombers are to Islam what the KKK are to Christianity. To explain: it means they are a small group who have gained notoriety because of skewed thinking, bias and extreme acts of violence. In the same way that...

Who likes the smell of a gasoline- I do!

ip5217 @ip5217 (1655) • Philippines 9 Jul 10

Ever since, whenever we drop by a gasoline station, I would appreciate the smell of the gasoline pouring into our gasoline tank. At first I thought it was just me, but through the years I would hear a friend or two admitting that...

Joker25 I love the smell of petrol! I think it's because it's so intense and clean-smelling.

tomitomi @tomitomi (5429) • Singapore 10 Jul 10

Whether they are your own or otherwise what would that be? I've been asking myself this quite a lot recently. I'm more inclined towards teaching problem-solving skills. I start off with pictures before moving on to...

Joker25 Problem-solving and communication skills are pretty important, I think. I teach young children, and it's amazing how many cannot hold a conversation because it's not something that they experience at home. To facilitate this, we put children into small...

I Have Lost 40 lbs.!

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 10 Jul 10

The stores are benefiting from my weight loss. Every few weeks I have to go shopping for new clothes. This is a costly venture for me, but worth every penny. The first place I stop to seek new to me clothes is the Goodwill Store....

Joker25 Well done! You must be so proud of yourself. I think it's a good idea to go to second-hand shops, especially if you're still losing weight. This way you get a lovely new wardrobe on a regular basis, you're sharing clothes you don't need and you're not...

Joker25 I've got a Citizen eco-drive watch with a metal link strap. It never needs a battery as there is a solar panel incorporated into its face. It looks great and people compliment me on it regularly. Spending a huge amount on a watch probably isn't necessary:...

Well about two weeks ago I received a three page letter from the New York Taxation Department claiming I owed almost 3,000 dollars from my 2007 taxes. Well from the begining when I had to start paying taxes many moons ago I did my...

Joker25 Is there any possibility it could have been a genuine mistake? Tak forms are often frighteningly complex, even for experts. Perhaps it's worth sitting down with the family members in question and trying to come to a peaceful resolution.

Joker25 I think stoning to death and flogging are simply unacceptable as punishments to most western nations. However, it is also true that the US still puts its citizens to death, which is arguably the most barbaric punishment of all. If everyone who'd been...

Emergency 911

patgalca @patgalca (18390) • Orangeville, Ontario 9 Jul 10

In Canada and the U.S. we have 911 as our emergency number to dial for police, fire or ambulance. I taught my children from a young age this emergency number and I believe they were also taught it in school? When my first daughter...

Joker25 In the UK we dial 999 and I've mis-dialled once, upon which the police operator immediately phoned back to check I was OK. I think young children should be taught to contact the emergency services, but never to do so as a prank. There are plenty of stories...

Joker25 I'd be a bit careful about telling them that a silent letter is used to make other letters sound a bit different, as that's often not the case. 'Knee' and 'nee' will sound the same, in purely phonic terms. A silent e at the end of a word is more ofetn...

What clothing do you let your young daugter wear?

pastigger @pastigger (612) • United States 8 Jul 10

My daughter is three years old. I refuse to let her wear clothes that show her belly or have her butt hanging out. She love to wear dress and skirts but I take the time to go shopping and find shorts to go under all of her dresses...

Joker25 Generally, I agree with you. I work as a teacher and oce had to phone a parent to say that the crop-top she'd sent her daughter to school in was inappropriate. It read 'Future Hooker'. The girl was 6. I don't think that kids should be covered from top to...

ice cream - is this really a refreshing food for summer?

airasheila @airasheila (5454) • Philippines 8 Jul 10

During summer, people loved and liked to eat some refreshing foods like an ice cream. People loved to eat this to relieved the stress brought by the heat of summer. However, I am just wondering if ice cream is really ideal to...

Joker25 Water-based ice lollies might be more refreshing in terms of rehydrating the body. That said, ice-cream is certainly delicious. It is cooling as well, even if it is too sweet and creamy to be really thought of as 'refreshing'.

Joker25 I converted to atheism at the age of 9. Best decision ever. Now I get to spend Sundays hanging out and watching rubbish telly. I also have free will. The point I'm trying to make, I suppose, is that God isn't 'the' answer. He is 'your' answer. Arguably,...

Is there a food that you eat regularly now after eating it on a foreign holiday?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 8 Jul 10

For me it is Halloumi cheese, and I first came across it while on holiday in Cyprus; it was a regular addition to the many Mezes that we enjoyed there. Since then, I expect because more and more people are travelling abroad and...

Joker25 For me it's the greek dish Kleftiko: marinated lamb, vegetables, feta cheese and garlic all wrapped up in tinfoil and cooked slowly in the oven. Perfect with fresh bread to mop up all the juices.

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 7 Jul 10

Joker25 There are those that regard the Queen as little more than an unnecessary (and expensive) figurehead who has little sway over the political life of the country she rules. That said, she undoubtedly brings in a great deal of tourist revenue. If she ditched the...
