lliaynth @lliaynth (20) • Philippines 1 Apr 10

cd_lear I completely agree that it should be your right to visit your old school. I am also not surprised that you had difficulty visiting in this day and age. People are becoming overly cautious in the protection of children. Maybe it is warranted, but If you are a...

cd_lear Your referral link doesn't work mate! I'm actually enjoying using Google Buzz at the moment, not a money earner but as a google mail user it is quick and easy way to connect to friends and people. Even if it is a Twitter rip off.

Do you think the Twilight movie gave justice to the book?

icecroft @icecroft (449) • Philippines 4 Feb 09

I read the book and fell in love with it. In fact, I finished the book in just one day. When I found out later that there's a film adaptation, I was so ecstatic! However, I was a bit disappointed when I saw the movie. I'm in love...

cd_lear The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was excellent I thought. Star Wars is high on my list. The new Ironman movie with Robert Downey Jnr was a great move. There's so many I couldn't possibly list them all, but I think that's a start.

What is your favorite web browser?

darthfodder @darthfodder (16) • United States 2 Feb 09

How will Hero recover his powers?

cd_lear I love Heroes too. I think Ando might give Hiro back his abilities. Ando has just got the ability to supercharger other peoples abilities, so that might give Hiro his back. Or Hiro might get an injection to get it back like Peter did.

cd_lear Why are they remaking Karate Kid? It was an 80's classic and should be left there. Can no one come up with new stories? They just have to keep telling the same ones again. That aside i think that if they must remake it Jackie would be a great choice and it...
