keep your opinions to yourself!

cheryl2783 @cheryl2783 (229) • United States 1 Jun 07

As a new monther, I noticed how many people feel the need to voice their opinion about YOUR child. This past week was the topper. I was in the airport with my five month old. A woman came up and asked how old my son is. I told her...

Qcorianne The only thing I say about babies I'm not familiar with before to their parents is how cute/adorable they are. Even then, I keep the proper distance and only make a comment if other conversation has been made beforehand. To be honest, I think I would have...

Cohabitation

thecaitycat @thecaitycat (267) • United States 9 Mar 07

Who here is an advocate of cohabitation? I am a prononent of it because I think that marriage is unnecessary for many of us. I also think that if two people live together before getting married, they have a better idea of...

Qcorianne I actually have trouble sleeping when my other half is gone. Where I live, you're common law spouses after 6 month of cohabiting. We got a kick out of telling some of our friends that. The reason we haven't gotten married yet is we can't afford our own...

Qcorianne Shootings at US univerisities are not that common. They have happened, but they have also happened in other countries. That would be like my saying I wouldn't go into a court house because of George Lott's episode in the early 90's. Anywhere and everywhere is...

Qcorianne I find some of the arguements in this discussion very interesting. mama4kids, I grew up in a gang neighborhood. There were attacks of all kinds and gunshots were not an unusual thing for me to hear every night while I was trying to sleep. While most people...

I feel that it's an unneccessary thing it creates more violence.Many of the people are using it in a bad way.Strictly it should not be provided below the age of 30. Share your thoughts.

Qcorianne 1. In countries where guns have been outlawed, crimes with guns and other weapons tend to go up (look at Scotland, England, Australia, etc). 2. The majority of guns that are used in crimes are stolen, handmade, or unregistered. 3. It is far easier and...

Qcorianne Most of the parents at the apartment complex I live at send their kids out and don't monitor them at all. A few weeks ago, my DCLH ended up yelling at some because they wouldn't stop hitting our window with a foot ball (and those windows aren't that strong)....

velvetroses1 @velvetroses1 (4) • United States 10 Jan 07

Qcorianne My little sister and brother are the same way about common sense matters. The important thing is to just keep reminding him what he needs to do. Eventually, it will stick somewhere. Most people who are told they are gifted tend to let anything they consider...

As a parent would you demand this child pass the course?

pilbara @pilbara (1436) • Australia 31 May 07

If you were given this example would you expect this child to pass this course? The student has not done any of the required work assignments. The student was offered help on many different occasions but didn't take it. The...

mulanmatu @mulanmatu (68) • Philippines 31 May 07

Do you think a college degree matters? We know of quite a few who have experienced success in life without having finished a degree. And we also know people who have earned degrees but whose lives are quite disappointing. What's...

Qcorianne A college degree is usually one of the requirements for getting a job in professional fields that are not a form of manual labor. While a degree is what opens some doors, most of the time it is how much you are willing to put into your work that determines...

Qcorianne Ah, Saul/Paul rears his ugly head yet again. I've always found it interesting that so many people rely on the words of a religious leader who was trying to redeem himself with his superiors when he converted to Christianity. He was lack luster as a Jewish...

margieanneart @margieanneart (26423) • United States 15 May 07

Here is another reason for the points going down. If MyLot were to post earnings, and continue to pay that amount as the members grow on here, they would go out of business. So for the profit range to stay up for them, they must...

Qcorianne Except it would start lowering their member numbers, I think MyLot should start deleting users who haven't logged in for an extended period of time. Three to six months would probably be a good time limit. This is something that most programs I participate in...

Qcorianne It is not what you eat but how you eat it and how active or not you are that leads to obesity. While fast food restaurants do their best to make their food look enticing, they do not force it down your throat. The main sustaining cause of obesity is the...

Are you afraid of the ocean? or Peanut Butter?

ljcapps @ljcapps (1925) • United States 15 Feb 07

Now, I love the sound of the ocean, being out on it in a boat, and just in general, everything about it. Now, my darling wife is slightly paranoid. She's not afraid of the ocean, but what might bite her while she's in it! How...

Qcorianne I can completely understand your wife's phobia. I'm scared of deep water (almost drowning as a toddler does that) and everything that lives there. I can't stand being in aquariums for long (especially ones that have the fish swimming above you), and movies...
