Do you think that people living in the USA should have to learn English?

NYSheDevil @NYSheDevil (25) • United States 14 Feb 07

Shunnie74 Yes, they should at least learn the basics. I think the biggest problem, though, is that there is no reason for many of them to learn English. Most signs, product packaging, and even some business phone lines are in multiple languages! What is the incentive to...

Annoying Public Habits...Which one tops your list?

TonyaBarton @TonyaBarton (89) • United States 14 Feb 07

Shunnie74 My first apartment was primarily furnished with second-hand things that I either bought or was given by family or friends. I bought a dinette set, pots & pans, dishes, and a coffee table. I got a bed, dresser, & couch as a hand-me-downs from various family...

I'm sick of Valentine's Day. Are you?

Tesa @xphile777 (427) • United States 14 Feb 07

I'm single, but I'm not sick of Valentine's Day only because it's a reminder that I don't have love in my life. I'm also sick of it because every year I hear the same friggin' news report that explains studies have shown lonliness...

Shunnie74 Yes, I'm sick of it. It's not the day itself, because it's really just a "Hallmark Holiday" to me. What's irritating are all the women who constantly complain about their husbands/boyfrieds but suddenly want to brag to everyone about what they're doing/getting...
