Dying Dogs

Angel3yes @Angel3yes (455) • United States 3 Aug 12

Okay, my neices mom is constantly dying the animals hair. She buys these hair dyes that come in pink, blue and greens and they are for humans. She always dyes the animals hair when she dyes her own and it seems rather mean to me....

Shannonymous Generally, I don't think it's cruel; the animals probably don't know or care. As long as she is doing it in a gentle way, it's probably just like getting a bath for them. She should definitely not be using human dyes, though. I'm sure they make some for...

Great story for young and old

Olonam @Olonam (870) • Philippines 4 Aug 12

When I was 6 years old, my parents gave me the first book in then Anne series, Anne of Green Gables, for a birthday present. It was one of the first 'real' books I ever owned, besides my children's books, of course. It was the...

Shannonymous I certainly loved these books, all the way up to when Anne is an adult. Their life is so simple and endearing, you just have to root for all the characters to end up all right. It's normally not my kind of book, at all, but yes, it was a childhood favorite.

Why do you think some of the least tasty food are the most healty ones?

betterdays @BetterDays4Me (3777) • Philippines 2 Aug 12

I sometimes wonder why eating a lot of delicious food would cause a lot of health problems while the opposite is true. Why is it that oftentimes the food whose taste we don't like the most are some of the healthiest food on earth?...

Shannonymous To a large extent, we consider junk food to be delicious because of our bodies' natural cravings. Your brain and body is still adapted to a time hundreds of thousands of years ago, where the most essential nutrients we needed were relatively rare, and so...

Can't beleive everything you read, how do you sort out the truth?

sweetaprillynn @sweetaprillynn (207) • United States 3 Aug 12

In this day in age we are bombarded with news from every form of media. I read anything I can get my hands on from websites to newspapers. Sometimes I may even catch a wiff of news being circulated through social networking sites....

Shannonymous Couldn't agree more. You have to be a critical reader to get anything out of the typical news story. Most reputable news sources wont straight-up lie, but you have to know how to read between the lines. What statistics aren't they giving? Why are they cutting...

maanplim @maanplim (17) • Singapore 8 Jun 12

Hi myLotters! What is the latest movie you have seen? and would you recommend it to your friends? i think the latest movie I've seen is Snow White and the huntsman, but i think it's just a typical snow white movie, but the...

Shannonymous Just yesterday, I saw the Avengers. I liked it, though not as much as I thought I would. For the first half, a lot of it seemed to have plot holes or at least things that weren't fully explained. A bit slow. But of course the fight toward the end was epic, and...

Has anyone else heard this?

mysticmaggie @mysticmaggie (2498) • United States 12 May 12

I caught a tiny piece of a news report the other day and am hoping I heard it wrong. It seems that a law is in the works to require you to tell who you voted for in the presidential elections for jobs, loans, etc. Did you hear...

Shannonymous The bottom line is, no law could ever make you reveal it, because you always lie. Can a job check the record of who you voted for? No. Now, if we're talking about whether a job can *ask* who you voted for, I'm not sure if that's illegal and I don't really...

How do you get the books you read?

jricky1 @jricky1 (6800) • China 11 May 12

Shannonymous Library all the way. I'm lucky to live in an area with excellent libraries: a vast selection, lots of research tools and computers and periodicals and graphic novels and...just about everything. If I love a book, I'll buy it, just to look pretty on my shelf...

Marrying your own flesh and blood.

jhustinian @jhustinian (612) • Philippines 12 May 12

What I mean is marriage between two family-related persons. I was really confused when I was a child when I saw a European-themed cartoon, wherein the younger sister of the boy keeps insisting on marrying him when they grow up....

Shannonymous The reason many people are outraged by incest is that it is forbidden in the Bible. That is what it is and I wont say anything about it. A secondary reason, I believe and have read, is more or less innate; we are evolutionarily programmed to seek out someone a...

Shannonymous Rather than prioritizing one or the other, I would probably work on them both for an equal amount of time per day. Act like the weekly assignment is a daily one as well; hand in what you do every day to yourself for revision. =) Of course, I say this with no...

Is being GAY / LESBIAN based on a lie ???

LetranKnight25 @LetranKnight25 (33121) • Philippines 1 May 12

Hello Lotter, To be more specific she mentioned based on a LIE by the DEVIL. it's hard to believe but I actually said this by the former Beauty Queen Mirriam QUiambao. I did not expect this a person who is...

Shannonymous Not only is it not based on a lie, that doesn't even make any sense. No one is going around lying to people and telling them to be gay. The basic attraction to men, women, both, neither, etc. is something you are either born with or that develops of its own...

Chronicle

arunr175 @arunr175 (1678) • India 30 Apr 12

I saw Chronicle recently, I liked the film because of the way the film is taken. It's about 3 teenagers Andrew Detmer (Dane DeHaan), Matt (Alex Russell) & Steve (Michael B. Jordan), who after a party find a hole, when they get...

Shannonymous I thought the acting was very interesting too; a different direction than many superheroes go, but probably more realistic...I agree, very good film. At the end, I'd wished there was more.

No Bullying of ANYONE!

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 30 Apr 12

Sutter Union High School brought in a speaker to speak about bullying. What they got was a profanity laced attack on Christians and the Bible. Students were so turned off by this many of them did what you should do when...

Shannonymous You are completely right when you say that bullying anyone is wrong. The reason bullying is so firmly linked to homosexuality is because that group is the one most likely to be bullied. Even when no one homosexual is actually involved, the words "gay" and...

What movies made you CRY... T_T

Resy King @resy21curapika (2131) • Pasay, Philippines 30 Apr 12

Just want to know a movie that is such a tear jerker; you've also cried during the movies. "Real Steele" made me, although it shouldn't be because it is a kido-based story with the protagonist dad. That part was when the dad...

Shannonymous Pixar movies do it for me. Up: the whole first ten minutes. Why you make me cry so early, Up? Toy Story 3: Oh no, the toys are being forgotten! And incinerated! Finding Nemo: When he takes Dory all that way and then just leaves her, her not knowing where...

Zoolander 2

lady Di @lady1993 (27224) • Philippines 29 Apr 12

i was just about to watch Zoolander again, the one starring ben Stiller- remembering how i loved that movie and then i read about this coming zoolander 2.. i am quite excited about it, but why make it so late..it has...

Shannonymous Zoolander is a classic for me, and I can recite almost every line. I know as a film it's not the best, but it has that nostalgic quality for me. And a lot of crack-up moments. I honestly don't see a need for a Z2, now that Stiller has moved on...he's good with...

What is the limitation of a joke? How would you know if it is getting offensive?

Resy King @resy21curapika (2131) • Pasay, Philippines 29 Apr 12

Shannonymous About jokes in general, I hardly ever find them offensive. Even if they're about race, gender, etc., I choose to believe the joker is just being playful with stereotypes so that they're less powerful, not meaning anything by it. And I think that's the heart...

Why do some people suffer from depression more than others?

surveychick4 @surveychick4 (380) • United States 29 Apr 12

I get so depressed sometimes, and it has been that way since I was a small child. Anything can affect my mood and trigger those symptoms. I just wish I could understand what it really is.

Shannonymous People who genuinely suffer from clinical depression tend to have a different brain chemistry than others; specifically they lack the normal amount of hormones like endorphins that trigger "happy" feelings. Sometimes behavioral and other "talk" therapy can get...

horror movies 2010-today suggestions

coldnpale @coldnpale (555) • Greece 29 Apr 12

I am a horror movie fan. I would love it if you guys have any foreign (non-us) horror movies to suggest to me, especially new ones from 2010 and later. US films tend to be too predictable, and most times the show stuff to approach...

Shannonymous I thought that Attack the Block was a fantastic recent horror film--not too scary but some great action, really cool monsters and at times laugh-out-loud funny. I've heard great things about the original Let the Right One In, but haven't seen it yet...
