Baby's toes are gnawed off by a six week old pit bull puppy.

lizabeth @lizabeth (666) • United States 13 Dec 06

I just heard on the news tonight that a six week old pit bull puppy gnawed 4 toes off of a baby. The parents were asleep by the baby during all this. Now, the fate of the puppy is being decided by a judge. The parents are going...

fortysomething I really think something else must've happened. How can a baby get his toes gnawed off and the parents not hear him scream? I think they said the baby was right next to them. No, this is not a pit bull issue. That precious puppy doesn't deserve to die.

fortysomething To be brief, some people are just not happy no matter what. They always want something more or different. They usually find out that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I think she'll appreciate what she has with age.

Does anyone know if Ameriquest is a good reputable company?

lizabeth @lizabeth (666) • United States 1 Jan 07

We are looking into refiancing our house and we have talked to Ameriquest. Has anyone had any type of experience with them? If so would you recommend them? Thanks for any input on this.

fortysomething We had a mortgage with Ameriquest and didn't care for them. If we were 1 day late but still within the grace period, they would "hound" us. Also, they didn't offer the best rate.

Psychic Vampires - Are you a victim?

ashiflett @ashiflett (1045) • United States 25 Dec 06

Many people may have never heard of the term "Psychic Vampires", but it is a relatively easy concept to understand. A Psychic Vampire is a person that tends to drain the energy from another person. These people often make us feel...

fortysomething I'm so glad I now know the term for this person in my life! Thank you! Yes, that is what she is to a tee--a psychic vampire! Every time I would talk to her on the phone it was nothing but drama and always about HER life and HER problems. She would never let...

fortysomething I would be an exotic animal trainer! I used to want to be a marine biologist and train dolphins at Marine World, but I discovered I don't like not knowing what's beneath me in the ocean and I don't like scuba diving; so that would've been a disaster! I would...

If you knew your child would be born gay, would you have an abortion?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 27 Dec 06

We were talking about this at work today. Some people are very against homosexuality and didn't want gay children. A couple people actually said they'd have an abortion rather than have the gay child. However, if their child...

fortysomething If I planned the pregnancy and knew the child was going to be gay I would keep the baby. I'm not so sure about an unwanted pregnancy however...just as if I got raped and became pregnant. I'm pro-choice about abortion. I'm also a liberal that grew up in the...

Do you agree with the legal drinking age being 21?

emisle @emisle (3822) • Ireland 27 Dec 06

Okay, i don't know if it applies to all states or varies, but in Ireland it's 18. If it was 21 I think a lot of young people would want to die! lol! And plus whether that would apply to the pubs and nightclubs too would also have...

fortysomething No, I don't agree with it being 21 if you can be 18 to buy cigs or join the military. Just doesn't make sense. Because it is 21, then you shouldn't be able to join the military, vote, or buy cigs until that age! Otherwise, change the drinking age to 18!...

Are Biracial Relationships okay? Or should Whites stay with Whites?

AZmomof3boys @AZmomof3boys (94) • United States 25 Dec 06
