jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 6 Jun 11

I know someone whose wife died three months ago....they had her creamated and last month finally had a service for her. Last week I saw him twice with another woman already. Supposedly when this guy was married to his wife they...

ArdeeGayos I think the guy should wait for at least half a year. Just to get over with the grieving period. Also, i is a way of showing respect to the family of his wife. However, in our country, if the concerned party is a woman, she should wait for at least a year...

Would you choose a college degrees that earn you the most money?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 1 Jun 11

For me, I probably will, since from the day I graduated from college until now, I don't really know what I at. That is pathetic isn't it? While I was in college, I choose computer information system, it was "Hot", but it wasn't so...

ArdeeGayos If I were you, I'd rather take the degree I like. Have tried taking a degree that I didn't like, but because we're so destitute then, was forced to take it (BS Industrial Tech) on a state university, and failed to finish it, despite my high score in the...

Should US Just Leave Afghanistan? Stay another 10 years?

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 1 Jun 11

I would really like to know opinions from any mylotter on this one, especially folks from outside the US. There is a growing opinion in Congress in both major US parties that we should reduce or eliminate our presence in...

ArdeeGayos I think US should leave Afghanistan. In stages. Although it's a big drain in your US's economy, pulling out suddenly may cause the still-active insurgents to overrun it again.

Are you still conscious of what others will think about you?

Metatronik @Metatronik (6199) • Pasay, Philippines 31 May 11

ArdeeGayos In general, I don't get that much concerned on what others think about me. Unless it reaches a certain threshold, I rarely react on it. It simply won't get things done. In the end, it's the only thing that matters. We have a saying here in the Philippines...

Almost every year, a new prediction of doomsday appears. Like now, May 21, 2011, they said it's the end of the world. But it's exactly 11:44pm on my clock and only few more minutes to go before their prediction...

ArdeeGayos Ok, I will place my bet on Manny Pacquiao. I am a Filipino too, and he makes us proud of it. Just hope he retire after the fight with Marquez. Well, you know, some guy might get a lucky shot on him and knock him out cold. Permanently. After all, he's got...

ArdeeGayos To be honest, I think PHL do not have the capability to fend off foreign military aggression. It can only rely at present on strengthening ties with other countries, in the hope that they will help in case of an attack. On the other hand, if you remove...

ArdeeGayos I cannot yet see WWIII looming up, despite all the troubles in the world at present. There are simply too much things at stake to start another worldwide war.

Mommy D vs Miriam D

warriorx @warriorx (99) • Philippines 19 May 11

It was supposed to be Manny Pacquiao vs Sen. Miriam Santiago. Instead, Mommy Dionisia got into the act, with a voice so loud, as if warning everybody "Leave my son alone!" Now Manny looks like a Mama's boy. It's not his fault...

ArdeeGayos well, you got to understand Mommy D. It's a mother's instinct to protect her child. Considering the manner Sen. Santiago blasted Manny's position re: RH Bill (I'm pro-RH, by the way), nobody can really blame her. Lesson: if you're going to criticize someone,...

jeanneyvonne @jeanneyvonne (5501) • Philippines 19 May 11

I admit that I have been missing to tune in to ANC, the cable news channel of ABS- CBN. The channel has been down in my cable selection channel as it became impossible to see beyond the grainy picture on the television screen. I...

ArdeeGayos When we do not have cable TV yet, I used to watch GMA more than ABS-CBN due to their more objective reporting. Sometimes, the bias of ABS-CBN is too much it's simply outrageously stupid not to notice it. When we got cable TV, I preferred watching RT (Russian...
