Do you have relationships with people of a different religion to yourself?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 19 Jan 08

I am from a Catholic background. All of my friends and family are the same (Ireland can be pretty monocultural). I am no longer a catholic myself and many friends would say the same. Recently a close friend began to date a Hindu...

Would you change your religion?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 19 Jan 08

Just wondering what are your thoughts on this. Most people are born into a particular relgion and tend to stay in it,from my observations anyway. It seems rare that someone would change from what their family practices. Would you...

Do you agree with adoption?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 28 Dec 07

Adoption used to be a fairly common practice in Ireland, up to about the 1980's. Basically if you were unmarried and pregnant it was pretty certain that your baby would be given up for adoption. Nowadays, adoption is pretty rare...

Have you ever tie-dyed anything?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 10 Dec 07

Ok, my duvet covers that were once plain white are now a rather unnappetising shade of beige. I have no idea how this came about but now I want to dye them. Tie dye sounds nice. Can anyone recommend how to go about tie dying?...

What does 'forgive mean' to you?

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 4 Dec 07

Does it mean to act as if nothing has happened. Does it mean to forget what the wrongdoer has done. Does it mean you should treat the wrongdoer as if they have done no wrong? Or perhaps does 'to forgive' mean AFTER...
