Technolgy in the past

Anne18 @Anne18 (11029) 21 Nov 11

I find this technolgy lark really quite scary and frightening and its progressing far too quickly for me and I feel we are loosing a lot of our roots etc. I found this so tonight when one of my 12 year olds asked for a kindle...

Awinds Let us take someone from the 1861 and place them in a 2011 movie theater. The movie is in 3D. Can you imagine that person's reaction? 1861 wasn't that long ago. It was only 150 years ago to be exact. So much progress in such a short time! I sympathize with...

grandpa_lash @grandpa_lash (5225) • Australia 6 Nov 11

When you read a post from someone who is clearly, to your mind, being an idiot? I suspect that most people will answer NO, on the grounds that it's impolite or unkind, or un-Christian, or un something or other else, or it will...

Awinds If one is concerned about what other people think, is he not the slave of those people? When one constantly tries to impress the people around him, he is putting himself in bondage to those people. He is tempted to sacrifice or mask his beliefs and even his...

Sucked it up and downloaded Google Chrome.

kris182_2000 @kris182_2000 (5469) • Canada 1 Nov 11

I have to admit, and I've said it before, I don't like change. But when Firefox froze on me a short time ago, that was the last straw. It had crashed on me earlier when I installed an add on for a survey. So far, I don't...

Awinds No! Traitor! How could you abandon Firefox, beacon of hope and savior for all who once were chained to Internet Explorer?! Just kidding! :P Like you, I'm not really a fan of change. I like the familiar. Even something as simple as updates in Gmail can get...

Why people of Wallmart are like that?

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/acidcow_com/~3/HnKRLdBlcMg/25051-people-of-walmart-part-12-46-pics.html Why people in this supermarket dress like this? It's becoming famously worldwide. Why it's like a parade and there are...

Indecisiveness may be good.

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 13 Oct 11

I used to not like my indecisiveness but lately after running into many pompous, arrogant, and sure individuals, I'm quite glad I'm not like them. I think some of the positive in indecisiveness is how careful I really take things...

Awinds I fall into that group you mentioned sometimes - and it's nothing to be proud of. When one is so confident, when one is sure, one does not listen to council. One does not learn to think before one acts. There have been so many times when I decided within...

celticeagle @celticeagle (168369) • Boise, Idaho 13 Oct 11

Well, I went through many a discussion interest and decided on this one. I think I really need to grow up. I have a childish fear. What of you might ask? Spiders!! Just the word sends shivers up and down my spine. It started...

Awinds Spiders are my second biggest fear. It started when I was a kid. I was laying on the floor when one crawled through my hair! I literally have break downs when I see a big one in my room. The longer I look at the worse I get. If I kill it within seconds of...

How Do You Appreciate Yourself?

ronadelle @ronadelle (1547) • Philippines 4 Oct 11

I've heard a lot of women already may it be in the news or my friends who don't know how to appreciate herself. It's always like they need to hear it from others or else they'll feel less and eventually don't feel good about it....

Awinds Great discussion! I appreciate myself mostly by being honest with myself. If there is an area in which I am talented, I make sure my self knows that. False modesty with one's self, or lying to one's self about how under-talented one does not do one any...

Child Abuse

glowin100 @glowin100 (124) 30 Sep 11

I feel that in this country, people are placing more emphasis on animals and pets than they do their own children. Society seems to look out for pets more than they get concerned about pets. Pets can take care of themselves even...

Awinds You know what, I agree and it makes me sick. Now let me just say that I don't think animals should be abused. The starving cat that gets kicked by its owner everyday should indeed be confiscated, but should this cat get priority over a child that is abused?...

Awinds I don't think I could survive without creative writing! This world is quite boring (at least when one is not on vacation). Our lives tend to follow similar paths and I believe we all get stuck in a mundane routine at one time or another. Fiction is a way to...

Awinds I was thinking about this the other day. The Philippines is a small country, and that makes them more vulnerable to natural disasters such as a typhoon. Furthermore, I am pretty certain the country has already been through some flooding already. It really is...

Awinds To me, it's just another gadget. The smartphone craze has come and gone. It has its place in the cellphone world and a mere upgrade isn't a lot to get excited about. I think there is more to life than Apple and I see no reason to devote my life or money to it....

Shool Uniforms .. Should they be standardized ??

sanjana_aslam @sanjana_aslam (4187) • Malaysia 25 Sep 11

During my time there was only two colours of uniforms one for primary and another for secondary school .... Then of course the prefects had ties or different colour uniforms. But nowdays each private school has different uniforms...

Awinds A standardization of school uniforms would not only make a state of equality more visible, but it would also maybe induce an atmosphere of respect and class. In my area of America at least, the kids of public schools are self centered and produce some of the...

Why do some people like to smoke though they know it harms?

kearkear @kearkear (963) • Davao, Philippines 22 Sep 11

Most people are hard headed and stupid. I'm sorry to those who are smokers. I understand it because I been a smoker before, but I quit. It's really hard to quit this kind of stuff. Smoking feels comfortable and would lessen...

Awinds You might ask the same about why people binge drink or use cocaine. They know the end results will be harm of death, but they do it anyway. I think part of the problem is a lot of addicts start in high school. Peer pressure and all that. It's cool and one...

Awinds That's the stupidest thing I ever heard! "I'm going to reject him because he has a coupon!" Good night, good men are hard enough to find in this world. An attitude like that just makes it harder. I can bet you those three women are going to be single for a...

ordinary, everyday chores can become fun

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 18 Sep 11
