Do you find golliwog and mammy dolls offensive?

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 9 Mar 07

Golliwog dolls especially, were very popular in certain European countries. If you take away their racist stereotype undertones and origin, you basically get two loveable characters that are very interesting, visually. I...

The things you have to do for money...

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 7 Mar 07

Anyway, this is a question that I can't quite answer myself, but what would you do for money? How low would you go and for how much? I don't know what I'd do, but if I was very hungry or something similar, I'd probably steal...

Quoting from the scriptures isn't scary.

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 7 Mar 07

I generally don't have a problem with religious people, as long as they lead their lives as they please and let others be. But every now and then, you cross paths with someone who, out of the blue, goes into some religious tirade,...

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 3 Mar 07

I've rated a few photos here at myLot, but no one ever seems to look at or comment on them? (Weird thing, you can rate your own photos...) You'd think people, who generally like looking at pictures a lot more than at words,...

Holding hands

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 27 Feb 07

Some people are afraid of holding hands with someone or they don't feel comfortable about it. They can stick their tongue down someone else's throat, but somehow holding hands is too "intimate" :D Do you hold hands sometimes?...

What is currently your favorite TV show?

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 15 Feb 07

I'm asking because there isn't absolutely ANYTHING I really like on television in my country. I have cable access and it's all boring, all the channels have dull programming. There was a comedy channel on cable that I liked, but...

Are you a thread killer?

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 4 Feb 07

You spot an interesting or popular topic. You post a reply to it. Suddenly, the topic dies. Hours, days, weeks go by and nobody else replies after your post. Oh no, you killed it! Your name sticks out on the "last response by"...

Do you have a poor grasp of time?

SplitZip @SplitZip (1488) • Portugal 4 Feb 07

They say there are four dimensions (that we know of): X, Y, Z and time. I have such a poor grasp of all of them, it's frightening. I bump into furniture all the time. I get lost through the streets if I don't bring a little map...
