At first I didn't mind submit or just skip tags. Sometimes I take time to submit tags but sometimes I just skip it. But I didn't know how important to submit tags until I proved to myself a while ago that it would really make a...

Adrian Thanks for sharing :) I usually submit tags only when I feel my response brings a new approach to the topic, or when I notice there are some other terms that might apply to the discussion.

Adrian If you move to another country permanently, I think learning the official language is a must. There could be an exception though, but I don't really agree with this: if you have a very strong community talking your native language and you don't interact much...

In painting a realistic piece, you have one subject in the picture, that is, the focal point in the painting itself. it maybe a portrait of a person, a flower or a landscape scenery. and that's it, what you see is what you feel....

Do you think that people in the public eye such as celebrities, royalty,sportsmen etc. are entitled to a private life? Would you buy a newspaper exploiting them for financial gain against their wishes?

Adrian I agree in case of royalties a little decency wouldn't hurt.

Adrian I'm not sure if there should be a line between the private and the public lives of the categories of people you mentioned. Why? Because they want (or need) the attention of the public, but at the same time they want their private lives. On the other hand, the...

When I move through many of the discussions, I really wonder if we are sincere in many of the topics that we write or responses we post. I think many people just cook up things like I am having a bad life, my partner cheated etc...

Adrian Here, as well as in real life, people don't always say the truth. Saying always the truth isn't necessarily a quality. You can end up hurting people you love for no reason. That's why some lies are called "innocent". On the other hand, it's regrettable, but...

Are cell phone and mobile the same? Which term comes first?

mobile

phone

Adrian The two terms mean the same thing. The cell phone term comes from the way the "mobility" is technically achieved. Space is broken into so called cells. I'm not going to go into details, but basically, when a person is moving from a "cell" to another...

Adrian Unfortunately you're right and this is true in most cases. Execs rarely take the fall for bad management. But, when they do, they fall hard :)

Adrian I may be wrong, but I think the top management of corporations should have a base salary and bonuses OR penalties based on performance factors. I think however many of them would be reticent to the penalties part, or wouldn't agree to optimistic performance...

Adrian It can become an addiction. I see it at my sister, always on the facebook. Whether on phone, laptop or IPad, she's always hooked to facebook. Maybe that's why I dislike facebook and I use it briefly. My sister's using it for the whole family :)

Adrian I spend a lot of hours online and personally, when I go on vacation I take a break. Actually, I prefer to have as little contact as possible with technology during my vacation time.
