TheProphet I currently have a Logitech MX Revolution (wireless). I used to have the Logitech G5 (cord). Honestly, I like the MX Revolution a lot better, it's nice to not have a cord and it charges on a dock, I don't need batteries. Only problem is it uses up another USB...

Parting your hair

sharon_ @sharon_ (1169) • United States 24 Apr 08

What side of your head do you part your hair on? Is it the same side as your moms,dads, or maybe another family member? Mine is down the middle,with bangs.

7 responses

TheProphet I generally avoid parting my hair...it gets parted in the middle occasionally because that's where I parted it when I had long hair for several years. My mom wishes I would part my hair on the side.

TheProphet I shun tattoos as vain and would never pay to scar my body tissue in the name of self-expression. I sometimes go weeks without actually looking at myself in the mirror, and I would see no benefit from having a tattoo.. Also, I have heard of problems with...

TheProphet Gain self-confidence through mental improvement. Body measurements aren't the most important thing of a person. Mental capability far outranks it.

Global Warming

kornflakes @kornflakes (298) • Philippines 23 Apr 08

Do you have anything to say about this? Back then, it was just a threat to scientist, biologists, and freak nerds who care too much for other living creatures. But now, the threat has become more and more serious. With weather...

TheProphet With serious flaws in the global warming arguments pointed out by many prominent skeptics, such as the creator of the Weather Channel, I am not concerned. This last winter drove average temperatures down .7 degrees Celsius, which is back down to the level...

TheProphet I think the Department of Education should be completely defunded and public schools removed. A private system would emerge that offered greater opportunities for education. As it is now, we don't need to be bloating up the massive bureaucracy that is our...

Make that Transition from Non-fiction to Fiction, can it be done??

revellanotvanella @revellanotvanella (4033) • United States 11 Mar 08

For me, I think of non-fiction and Fiction as being as different as night and day. I do not have anything personal against Fiction, I have read it, well, when I was younger like Charlottes Web, Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer,...

TheProphet I've been filtering fiction out of my life for the last couple of years. Now, the only fiction I've read recently has been for school. I started filtering out fiction after I realized that I have grudges against the philosophical principles espoused in many...

TheProphet I use cash all the time, it ends the transaction immediately and then you don't have to worry about it in the future. I don't think I'm ever going to get a credit card, I'd prefer to just use checks, instead of credit.
