Wizybr I am satisfied with my life. I rate my satisfaction at 9 on your scale. The reason is that I have accepted responsibility for what I have done and where I am now. While I am occasionally disappointed with my own performance, the consequences are always my...

User ratings at myLot

Thomas73 @Thomas73 (1467) • Switzerland 10 Jan 07

The new user rating system at myLot seems quite interesting. Now, depending on the quality of the posts, the authors can be rated by the community. Some may see it as an open door to abuse, though. If, for whatever reason,...

Wizybr I think it could be good in some respect and bad in others. This is a multicultural community. And the fact is that things that make perfect sense in one culture, make no sense in others. The amount of ethnocentrism varies, but it's always there to some...

Before You Had Kids

blogyourself @blogyourself (1577) • United States 9 Jan 07

Lately I have found myself saying "when I have kids I will never..." when I see parents treating their children a certain way. What are some things you said you would never do as a parent, but now you do them to your own kids?

Wizybr This is ancient history now. When I was little and strayed off the straight and narrow, my Mom used to say, "What's the matter with you?" Emphasis on the word 'matter' and not really a question. When I was finishing a Psychology degree and participated in...

DO You think 1 Million dollars is enough for you to support the Rest ur life

davidbugs @davidbugs (120) • United States 8 Jan 07

Do you think 1 million dollars is enough for you to support you the rest of your life. You don't have to work anymore. All you have to do just stay home and watch tv all day long. I want to hear your opinion.

Wizybr If all you were doing was sitting home and watching TV, a million dollars would easily last the rest of your life. But that's not much of a life and chances are it won't last long. I know people who retired from the US Navy in the late '70s who moved the...

Wizybr There are several words that people would be better off without. "Try" is the top of the list. But there is also "should" and "ought". They mean, "If you don't take my advice then your value system must be screwed up." And then there is the phrase,...

Wizybr There are two issues. First of all, it's not unusual for people to get to the ripe old age of 65 or 70 before they become aware of their own mortality. That's when their friends start dying of 'natural' causes. Second, the behavior you describe is a...

Wizybr Depends on what you mean by "have a right" and "influence". Assuming the man and woman are married, the whole concept of "have a right" is a recipe for divorce. If the marriage is based on mutual respect and support, "have a right" just isn't there. And...
