Rumsfeld is finally quitting

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 8 Nov 06

I don't know if his replacement will be any better, but there's not much of a chance that this new guy can be worse. Do you think that a change in the Secretary of Defense cabinet position is good for the world?

What do you think about the American Midterm Elections results?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 8 Nov 06

I'm glad that the Democrats took back the House and might have a Senate majority or at least keep it away from the Republicans. Now that there are actual checks and balances in the US government again, policy should start getting...

How cold is too cold for you?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 3 Nov 06

Ideally, if I'm standing or sitting outside I'd like the weather to be between 65 and 80 Fahrenheit, but considerably cooler is better, like in the 50s, if I'm running or doing something else invoving exercise. The weather is even...

Do you have a favorite Homestarrunner cartoon?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 28 Oct 06

If you don't know what I'm talking about, and you're not very busy right now, do a google search and you'll probably thank me for it. It's hard to pick a favorite, since there are so many good ones, but "A Jorb Well Done" is...

Did anyone just see LOST?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 25 Oct 06

It was even more intense than usual, and lots of twists... lots of new information and lots of new mysteries. Wow.

Do You Cross Party Lines When Voting?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 25 Oct 06

This is primarily for Americans because of the 2 party system that we have. Personally, I'm probably going to vote just about straight ticket Democrat with one exception. My neighbor, who I don't really know, is a Republican...

Do you post vapid comments and avoid intelligent discussions?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 23 Oct 06

Why is there so much AOL Speak on MyLot?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 22 Oct 06

You know... u for you and y for why and all sorts of shortcuts and grammatical atrocities. I think that it's fine if you're chatting informally with friends or family, but that's not what myLot is. From what I read when I signed...

Should MyLot have sponsored discussions?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 22 Oct 06

That may be a way - possibly the only way - to make earnings here skyrocket. What if the blogitive/payperpost model was used here except instead of being paid to link people would be paid to start discussions about a certain...

How brave are you in amusement parks?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 21 Oct 06

I'm not especially brave on roller coasters and such. I still haven't done a looping one and at this point I may never go on a coaster that goes upside down. It might be in part because of an incident when I was 7 or 8 and I was...

Have I arrived too late at MyLot for my own good?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 21 Oct 06

It seems like all the good simple discussion topics have already been started and answered by hundreds of people. I started a discussion this evening, had nobody answer it, and a few minutes later I saw that someone already...

Who is your favorite author?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 21 Oct 06

Mine is Terry Pratchett. He's written thirty books aimed at people in high school or older, and I think that I've read all of those. The Discworld series is really funny but surprisingly philosophical considering its hilarity.

Do You Like Running?

Ethan72282 @Ethan72282 (112) • United States 20 Oct 06

For me, it's not as much a matter of liking it of having to do it. Sharks have to swim, and I have to run. Maybe I've got restless leg syndrome, but running seems to help my need to move my legs that any pill probably would. It's...
