chentunacao @chentunacao (309) • Philippines 26 Sep 12

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...

Celebrities and privacy

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 18 Sep 12

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'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...

Are we sincere in myLot

varunkrishna007 @varunkrishna007 (1909) • India 17 Sep 12

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...

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 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 Each IPO (initial public offer) has to be carefully analyzed before investing. Many companies are starving for money, not all of them are in the best shape (name and reputation is only a factor, but should be of little importance when acting).
