If past is past, why do we study history?

xroadsempress @xroadsempress (290) • Philippines 22 May 09

Well, I kinda blurted out these set of words not knowing if I invented it myself or it already came from someone else. One of my best friends tried to comfort me after reminiscing on a year-ago's hard break up. She said, "past is...

cj5guy We study history to learn from our mistakes and learn how we got to where we are in the world. Without history, we could make the same mistakes over and over and never make progress in bettering ourselves as individuals and a society.

itsonlyndream @itsonlyndream (377) • Philippines 22 May 09

I wonder if you guys take pictures whenever you go out with anyone or alone? One time, i went out with my friends, when I said that I want to take pictures, they don't budge nor flinch... Seems like they don't like to take...

cj5guy With my children, if I try to take a posed picture, I usually don't get cooperation. I just quietly pull out the camera and take the pictures. I prefer the pictures of them having fun. Those pictures mean more to me, they show the emotion and capture the...

Have you rated anybody negative? Did you felt guilty for it?

xroadsempress @xroadsempress (290) • Philippines 22 May 09

There was a a time when I rated somebody a negative and a part of me felt guilty for doing so. I gave that post a negative because the grammar was awfully constructed, the post is too short to be understood and I can't seem to...

cj5guy If it was too short and contained horrible grammar, then you are justified in rating it negative. It's only a rating, it's not a life basing experience. I have given negatives for answers that have nothing to do with the question, and also for horrible grammar...

What do people do when they are broke?

thedataminer @thedataminer (515) • United States 20 May 09

I don't know about you folks but I was just wondering what do people do when they are broke and have no one to turn to for help? What I mean is they have no one to ask for some money. Like even $5, $10 or $20. They don't have...

cj5guy I used to live like that, right now I'm not much better off but I have food on the table and most of the bills get paid each month. It's hard, some days I have no extra cash and I try to keep myself occupied. I have cut all un needed expenses, I don't have...

cj5guy Asus has always been a decent company, I was dealing with them back when they only made motherboards (or mainboards). I have been out of touch with the electronic news and trends lately, but I would be willing to give it a shot. If your friend likes theirs,...

cj5guy You need a hobby, something that you can do for several hours that keeps your mind occupied, sudoku tends to keep people busy for awhile, Anything that keeps your mind thinking about other things would work.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 May 09

Prs. Obama has the nerve to tell Americans that we should be driving more fuel efficient cars, when his POV is a Chrysler 300C SUV. He's so proud of his "Cadillac!", but even though it was a custom job just for him, he never once...

cj5guy His 300C from the factory gets between 17 and 25 mpg, I'm sure it's much less since it has custom modifications. I agree with his stance on the issue, but he should set an example. The auto industry had vehicles in the 1950's that were getting over 50mpg, they...

Whiny Baby

kthomas514 @kthomas514 (9) • United States 19 May 09

Hello mothers. My 20 month old has recently started whining all the time. What do you do? How do you teach a baby that young to reason with you and quit whining to get her way?

whining

9 responses

cj5guy You can't give in. If you give her a toy she was whining for, than you are encouraging that behavior. Other than feed, burp, or change (well at 20 months, she should be burping on her own) She should have basic vocabulary and be able to let you know what she...

Low salt food is tasteless!

dhawanbm @dhawanbm (3705) • India 19 May 09

I have been subjected to low salt food, I feel it is just not acceptable to me, for controlling the bp, is it esential, are there any other modes to define taste buds?

5 responses

cj5guy Try Mrs Dash. I always have several varieties on hand, it's made with many different spices and herbs. They add great flavor to almost anything. Also you could try sea salt which is healthier for you.

Is it okay to "Burp" in a restaurant??

Glow1971 @Glow1971 (354) • Spain 15 May 09

I find it hard to believe that there are actually people out there who think it's okay to burp in a restaurant. I think it's rude. A couple of wks ago I went out to dinner with my girlfriend to Friendly's. Dinner was great,...

cj5guy I have had the unpleasant experience of that happening to me. (I was the one burping) I don't belch often, but sometimes they just come out. I usually feel it a second or so before it comes out so I can muffle it and it's not noticeable, but I still say...

cj5guy I found the best way to get them to stop calling. I let them know I'm interested and would like to know more. Avoid the specific questions about the car and try to keep them on the coverage. When you finally give the info on your car, I tell them I have a 1978...

Will my suntan go away on its own?

cream97 @cream97 (29086) • United States 12 May 09

cj5guy It will fade on it's own, if it's a sun burn, you want to keep aloe on it (I could help you put it on lol) It will take a feew weeks to fade, as long as you keep the sun exposure to a minimum, you will be fine. Why are you concerned so much about a tan?

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 11 May 09
