brckoba My daughter loves to play with little critters. She loves grasshoppers. She and my nephew take "expeditions" on our back yard and look around for grasshoppers and worms. It doesn't really bother me or my wife since we both played with bugs as kids. Although,...

brckoba I took the test and I scored a 28 out of 30. Yeah! I must admit that I took my citizenship test 1 year ago and most of the questions were still fresh in my mind. This is a good test to be able to wake up the mind and brush up on the history... :)

brckoba Hehe! I'm guilty of this crime! I'm what my wife likes to call a "remote control hogger". It's true though ever since this cool little gadget was invented everyone wanted to use it and whomever took control over it could watch what he/she liked! I have to...

What do you have now--- Electronic dictionary or book dictionary?

Rexy_leigh @Rexy_leigh (1189) • Philippines 2 Apr 07

Technology has been advancing so fast that the old bulky dictionaries we used to carry all along when we were still in grade school ages back, are now replaced with the stylish, handy and more convenient electronic dictionaries....

Will you pick up litter in the streets?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 2 Apr 07

You watch a scene from your darkest nightmares unfold before your eyes. You stood there in scraps of rags, all dirtied, hair disheveled, eyes bloodshot. You saw the restaurant waiter toss out a bag of garbage and you hurried...

brckoba I personally don't pick up the litter, but my wife on the other hand is an activist. If she sees someone littering she will flip out and start telling the person to pick up their garbage. We (she makes me and my daughter along with her) will go around the...

Can you SPEAK better than you WRITE?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 2 Apr 07

Do you think twice when someone asks you for money?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 30 Mar 07

Money makes the mare to go. Money soothes more than a gentleman's words. Money lent, an enemy made. Just how true are these proverbs? No matter which side of the fence you are on, I think it is safe to assume that money is pretty...

brckoba Thanks for the metal! As for my friends, I've tried talk to them so many times! The problem with them tough, is that they have a baby boy! I care a lot for children, and I wouldn't want him to be without food just because his parents are morons. :P

brckoba Nas! Akon is just a singer who came out not long ago, but Nas is a legend. I like Akon, but he has now just a few songs that will most likely get overplayed and people will get annoyed by them. Nas on the other hand has a message to give to the youth, and he...

If a guy has a girlfriend should he go to strip clubs?

Robyn28 @Robyn28 (384) • Canada 29 Mar 07
