bonbon50 It is increasing becoming a 'black' holiday. When people talk about MLK, it is what he stood for in the black race, not for the humanity of man. I'm starting to believe that black people are much more prejudiced against whites than vice versa.

Excited about the color of skin!

djbtol @djbtol (5493) • United States 20 Jan 09

Don't you just love the color of Obama's skin? Isn't it the most wonderful thing in the world? Last November, Obama himself said it this way: "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all...

bonbon50 Praising Obama for the color of his skin is about as prejudice as the days of segregation. And then to make the remark that you hope he doesn't 'go albino' on us is to deny the actual celebration of the day. Is this the first time you're proud of the US?...

bonbon50 I subscribe to 'FreeCycle' and constantly see postings of someone looking for a home for their animals, or kittens, or puppies. When a person adopts a pet, they need to make a serious commitment as a house cat can now live to 20 years or so. (Mine is at 17...

bonbon50 I haven't yet seen the commercial that you speak of. But, if you'd like to learn more about the plight of animals, I strongly urge you to watch 'Earthling'. You can find it on u-tube. Also, join Care2 where many petitions are that can be signed on-line to...

You choose to have a cat because you are lazy?

opinione @opinione (749) • Italy 19 Jun 07

Someone today told this to me: a person who has a dog is really a responsible one because you have to sacrifice more of your free time in order to go with him for one or more strolls in the day, you have to take with you a shopper...

bonbon50 That would be like saying a person is lazy because they travel by car instead of a bike. It's all a matter of choice and what fits your lifestyle. You can leave a cat alone without worrying about it 'doing it's business'. But saying someone who owns a dog is...

bonbon50 Wow, is she stupid! She only has herself to blame for being an emotional wreck. Anyone who, not only enters and stays in such a relationship, but has a child born out of it really has blinders on! Is this how she wants to live the rest of her life? Anyone who...

bonbon50 It's amazing how some animals really seem to be in tune with our emotions. I've had many cats over my lifetime and some seem to be that way more than others. Ironically, the one I felt was most in sinc with my emotions was also a 'handicapped' feline. Makes...

Do you crochet? Afghans, doilies, clothing, accessories?

bonbon50 I'm a doily addict, myself. I like doing delicate work. I have made afghans and other things, just enjoy making doilies the most. Plus, the small crochet thread goes a long way compared to skeins of yarn!

bonbon50 It's an animals natural instinct to try and hold their ground when being yanked if they're not used to it. Next time, propel the dog from behind, with just the pressure of a stick or something he'll be less resistant. The dog will come around again, just give...

bonbon50 Recognize that you are in a down spot right now and it's alright to feel the way you do. You DO know that you matter to people. We just seem to get tunnel vision when we're like this. For one, don't try to get pregnant at this time. It won't help matters; it...

bonbon50 I know you've grown attatched, but please let the frog go. A frog needs a diet of many different bugs and flies aren't going to meet it's nutritional needs very long. Are you making sure you're de-clorinating the water? Most frogs don't live more than a year...

Pro-lifers care about the lives of both mother and child.

Swtrose @Swtrose (3385) • Canada 8 Jun 07

Many feel that those who are pro-life do not consider all options. They feel that we only care about the unborn baby. This is farthest from the truth. Pro-lifers care about both the mother and unborn child. Many women who consider...

bonbon50 Pot smoking is a mind altering substance and can impair judgement and driving skills. You mention short-term side effects like 'munchines', but are wary of long term side effects for prescribed drugs? You point out situations that you think substantiate your...
