Glenn Beck is hysterical

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 18 Sep 09

Last night I switched over to the Fox Propaganda Network, as I occasionally do, to check out their latest angle, and because, hey, it's like watching the Muppets. Glenn Beck was on, and man, was he steamed about something. He...

Men: do you wear thong underwear?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 28 Jan 08

If so, why? Just came across are a bit in a book in which the writer, a man, refers to his thong. Although I think he wasn't serious, it created an image I could have done without. But it also made me wonder, are there many men...

Lakota tribe declares independence from the United States

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 2 Jan 08

Haven't seen any MyLot discussion of this topic. The Lakota tribal group, whose territory covers parts of 5 states, have unilaterally pulled out of a bunch of treaties (citing repeated violations by the US government), and plan...

When did all this hugging start?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 21 Nov 07

Here's one for the holidays. When you meet family and friends, do you hug as a greeting? Seems once upon a time hugging was reserved for major life (and death) events, such as births, graduation, marriage, funerals. Or for...

In your country, how far back would you like to turn back the clock?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 10 Nov 07

When was the best time in your nations history? When was the country in the shape that you'd like to see it now? I'm not asking when was the best time in your own life. I admit this question stems from myLot political...

Do you wear a watch?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 9 Jun 07

I love my swiss army watch. But I wonder how many other people still wears a watch, now that you can get the time from your cell phone, iPod, etc. How much do you value a watch? Do you wear an expensive watch?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 5 Jun 07

Have you and someone you care for been kept apart for some reason, so that you've said to each other, "maybe in another life"? What are the reasons that have kept you apart? Do you think it makes sense, given that,...

LOL, emoticons, and other pet peeves?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 3 Jun 07

Anybody else have a problem with LOL in messages? It may be just me, but LOL (laugh out loud), seems, I don't know, slightly hysterical, and quite fake. Or maybe it's just that it seems to be used as a dismissive laugh, as in...

Successful season for Spurs, or not

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 25 May 07

Another fifth place finish ('best of the rest', I think Martin Jol calls it), but no silverware. Was this a successful season for Spurs? I think it was successful, as consolidation of the previous season's achievements, even...

What impact would John Lennon have had if he were still alive today?

bravenewworld @bravenewworld (746) • United States 25 May 07

This question occured to me, strangely, while watching the finale of Americal Idol this week. John Lennon songs (solo and with the Beatles) were covered a few times. In particular, Green Day's moving version of "Working Class...
