Omar1980 What a hideous crime, and a sad story. These criminals like you said should rot in jail. Using rape to teach a lesson, what a sick mind.

Did we really land on the moon?

lady Di @lady1993 (27224) • Philippines 14 Nov 12

Did we? I have no idea.. We do have a documentary covering it, but i have not watched it yet. And a teacher of mine, said it was just a set up.I have always thought that we did..so was that all a lie?

Omar1980 Surely it was not lie. The Apollo program was a successful one and US astronauts did land on the moon. All these conspiracy theories are so funny and based on crazy analysis. A cover up of this scale is impossible. It is easier to land on the moon then to...

Judge people by appearance

HuaZhao @HuaZhao (457) • China 13 Nov 12

Today,I read a story by chance. This is the gist of the story. A woman in blue jeans went into an expensive shop and asked to see a dress. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her...

Omar1980 We cannot ignore the fact that appearances matter. The first time you meet someone his appearance will for sure play a role in your initial opinion. As much as we try to not judge by it we will fail. This is part of our nature to treat the well dressed or...

Omar1980 Well in a shared office you will always have the talkative type, the silent type, the malicious type:) the guy that always asks for a favor and the guy that always takes your pens :) Each one should be handled in a different way. You cannot tell him to shut...

Omar1980 That is not freedom of speech. She seriously crossed the line. You are free to express your opinion. But to have so much hatred. And to wish the death of any human being is unethical and dangerous. Also, the racism in her comment is unacceptable in this day...

McCreeper @McCreeper (777) • United States 11 Nov 12

According to Google, 1 USD is 41.05 php (Filipino peso).. So I'd like to ask to the Filipino community; how much does this improve your standard of living? I'm quite jealous of the potential you guys are able to earn, yet I'm also...

Myth No More

valorieesquilona @valorieesquilona (442) • Philippines 8 Nov 12

We have seen the movie Troy starring Brad Pitt as Achilles, Eric Bana as Hector, Dianne Kruger as Helen and Orlando Bloom as Paris. We have all been captivated by the setting, the plot and the characters ever since Greek mythology...

Omar1980 I believe Achilles was portrayed in a new way in this movie. I saw him as the reluctant warrior not the fierce legend. The experienced warrior that knows the atrocities of war and wants to avoid it At the end he was only pushed by revenge and died for...

Omar1980 You should read Carlos Ruiz Zafon books. Start with "the shadow of the wind" it has all the elements of a good story, love, crime, history, mystery. Fantasy. All written in a beautifull and smooth style. Also, if you like fantasy try George Martin's "song...

Do you think that increase the cigarette's price is a good method?

youless @youless (112621) • Guangzhou, China 8 Nov 12

Sometimes the government will increase the price of the cigarette so that smoking rate will be dropping. Do you think this is a good method? I don't think it works very efficiently. I think it is better to have more public...

Omar1980 I believe you should have a credit card specially with all the online activities these days. However, it surely has a negative side. It is a psychological issue. Using credit card is easier then using cash and it makes you spend more. You always feel that...
