Have you visited any old towns?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 25 Sep 11

If you have visited an old town which things have you seen and enjoyed? I visited Cartagena De Indias earlier this year and loved seeing the attractive looking buildings in the old town. I adored walking up to see the majestic...

LightninStrike well, "old towns" is very relative. I live in Europe, and most towns could be called old, since most have ancient cathedrals, or even roman, visigothic, arab, phoenician, or greek reminiscences. Spain, my country, is a good example of it, so yep, I have...

Would you do this?

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63638) • United States 11 Feb 11

My roommate's nephew's son is turning 3. Without asking, they posted that they were having a birthday party at her folk's place. And they posted it on Facebook to all their friends. Honestly, her mom really didn't have a...

LightninStrike well in my opinion the main point is organizing all that without asking. I mean, if it's not your house, who are you to arrange an event there without even asking first? I definitely wouldn't do it, it's just wrong. About the beverages, I don't think it's such...

LightninStrike Multiculturalism is a good word, and it's full of great intentions most of us agree on. The problem is that multiculturalism is really difficult to take into practice, and there are always problems and side effects. No system is perfect, and it's a fact...

LightninStrike I haven't watched it yet, but from what I've heard it's the typical "get some tissues and keep them close" story. Not my type really but there are always surprises.

Group Project..not such a great thing sometimes!

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 10 Feb 11

LightninStrike I am glad to see that you keep on being so happy and such! (I mean after your "how did I spent my weekend" post). It seems to me that the whole group presentation experience rocked for you. Apparently, that kind of presentations are pretty common in...

LightninStrike if i were you i would forget about sizes and calories. just adopt a good diet, a good eating plan, do some moderate exercise, and be persistent. Don't make really big efforts now just to leave it all in a month. The key leading to results is endurance.

Ok, Gun Control Advocates, I have a question...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 4 Feb 11

If you don't think the 2nd Amendment refers to the right of the people to own gun, and you don't think people have the right to form militias, what do you think it does mean?

LightninStrike I have no doubt that the Amendment may give those rights to American people. A very different discussion might be if that Amendment should be removed or at least reformed. Some think that people kill people, not guns, but I wonder what do they kill them with?...

Senators seek to make patriot act permanent

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 5 Feb 11

Sen Mitch McConnell, one of a number of senators calling for this, said this could "give US intelligence and law enforcement officials "the highest degree of operational certainty that's practicable." Chuck Grassley believes that...

LightninStrike The Patriot Act is just one more in the list of the "things we had to do to protect the American people from terrorist menaces". Which basically implies ignoring any constitutional right, or even the UN Declaration of Rights, with the alleged excuse of...

Have you read your country's Constitution?

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 2 Feb 11

LightninStrike I have read my country's constitution...basically because I studied law, so it was a must, hehe. I recommend that everyone reads at least certain parts of it....we should all be aware of our rights, and also our obligations.

LightninStrike Saying that women are better cleaners is simply baseless. There is no evidence of it. But obviously, if you tell me about the acquired habits that society embeds in our brains, it results that yeah, women have a way more developed habit of cleaning. But not...

Increasing number of gay people.

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 11 Dec 08

First of all, I am in no way intentionally trying to insult people who are gay. In fact I have lots of gay friends. But, have you guys ever noticed that there's an alarmingly increasing number of gay people now-a-days? Out of...

LightninStrike I assume that you're not insulting gay ppl on purpose, but you are indirectly when you use expressions like "alarmingly increasing number"...as if gay ppl were a plague or something like that. Why is it an alarm? do we heterosexual people have to feel menaced...

LightninStrike Definitely I prefer to talk. Text is something i only use when i know that the person I want to get in touch with won't answer the call. I prefer to call and solve the issue in a minute rather than spending 3 or 4 minutes writing a text message. Plus i hate...

LightninStrike I hate receiving loads and hoards of unwanted email, so I don't do it myself. I only forward some emails i find particularly interesting, but most of them i don't even read them myself, so obviously I don't forward them.

LightninStrike I definitely prefer tangible books. I like technology and computers, but there are things that don't get better for the mere fact they're newer, and books is a good example. The sensation of grabbing a good book and reading it cannot be replaced by an E-book,...
