When In Doubt (Don't Get Married)

chi2nasrin @chi2nasrin (1101) • Malaysia 6 May 12

Is it true that when you have doubt, you should not go ahead and get married? Because that is just what I feel like now. See... my fiance is working offshore. So once he goes to work, it is for 2 months ++. Of course they don't...

" writing lets you memorise much more"

dawntherisingsun @dawntherisingsun (82) • India 6 May 12

christineli Hello to all. Oh, I definitely agree! I have had professors who lectures so fast that simultaneously writing notes on what's being discussed is such a challenge. So what I do is, as soon as I can, I re-write my horrible notes (sometimes I cannot read my own...

Are religious people less compasionate than others?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 5 May 12

You would expect religious people to be more compassionate than others,or at least that how most people seem to feel. According to some social scientists however, the opposite would appear to be true. In three experiments, they...

christineli Hi to all. I was surprised by the result of the survey. I believed that it is often the religious people who are compassionate. For me, being religious means belonging to certain religions like Catholicism. As such, members often go to churches and listen to...

christineli Hello CherBear04 :) I would. House purchase or college loans for me are 'responsible debts'. I'd like to help if I can. But for consumer items, like people would get debts during christmas so they can give away, I don't approve of that.
