dentonbecca I'm all for buying things secondhand.It's good for the environment and cheap on the pocketbook.One person's trash is indeed another person's treasure.

Will you turn off your internet connection after your computer turns off?

youless @youless (112672) • Guangzhou, China 3 May 09

I will turn off my internet connection when my computer turns off. It is no need to waste the electricity and when I don't use the computer and internet any more. I will not keep it on 24 hours.

dentonbecca I guess it would really depend on both your computer and internet connection.I usually turn it off for conservation purposes but then I tend to get impatient when it takes a long time to boot back up when I come back to it.

If you were dissatisfied with a store's attitude or service would you walk out?

taface412 @taface412 (3175) • United States 3 May 09

dentonbecca I think your experience is typical in customer service in this day and age.Many companies whether they are large or small show no motivation in keeping the business and loyalty of their customers

dentonbecca I think that print sources are important in maintaining a true democracy.Having said that I usually rely on cable tv for my news.The only problem is I have to rely on several different sources to have a truly balanced view.

Would you really want to know what everybody actually thinks or says about you?

browneyedgiri68 @browneyedgiri68 (104) • United States 10 Feb 08

I think that if we actually knew everything said about us behind our backs, we would have far fewer "friends". I recently had the misfortune of overhearing a conversation about me between a "friend" of mine and a relative; now, I...

sarahbeth1977 @sarahbeth1977 (384) • United States 28 Dec 06

dentonbecca It would be interesting to explore the meaning of the word traditional when it comes to discussing gender roles.I think that most people would agree that men and women are mean't to be exactly the same.

Freedom Works Both Ways, Folks!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 26 Dec 06

Why is it that we seem to look at freedom as a guarentee of a great and happy life? We cry for our own freedom, but if someone else's cry for freedom annoys our ears, we cry even louder to shut them up. The fact is, if we...

dentonbecca I agree that there is a certain resposibility that comes with freedom.Personal responsibility and community responsibility should go hand in hand with any rights that we enjoy.One person does not truly have freedom unless it is shared by all.
