babykay oh my goodness, we live among filthy people. I ALWAYS wash my hands after using a public toilet - and always open the doors and close them holding tissue paper. Looks like I am right to do that. How can you wipe your u-know-what and then not wash your hands?...

babykay well I know how you feel. Its not nice waking up after a night out with your clothes smelling of smoke and coughing your lungs up. Its best for smokers to go outside to smoke, not just for others but themselves also.

Pope Benedict Against Violence in Video Games

KefkaIIV @KefkaIIV (22) • United States 26 Jan 07

Apparently Pope Benedict wants to get the message out - that violence in video games has gone far enough. For all the people and media who want to take violent video games away, I have but one thing to say. Why do you insist on...

babykay well I am no fan of the pope, he usually speaks crap imho. But I do think that violent video games should not be available to kids because young kids cannot distinguish between reality and make believe. when they shoot up and kill people on these games they...

babykay of course, everyone has been discriminated against at some point. Even when we don't realise it! Its only a big problem (imo) if its institutional or if there is no way of remedying the situation such as legal redress.
