GavinKaos I would love to visit Japan. I have heard it is a nice place. I have recently found my biological father in Oregon and also found out I have a half sister, and Half brother that I would like to meet. Unfortunately it will probably be a very long time before...

The political party that I follow isn't relevant, and I will try to stay neutral for the sake of the conversation. Why does it seem like so many people blindly follow their political party? Instead of people that will be the...

To get started, "What is cheapskate?" We can define cheapskate in different ways. In my own perspective, it is the feeling of hesitant to share or waste money to something or to somebody. If I am going to respond to this...

GavinKaos Dictionary.com defines "cheapskate" as being stingy or miserly. When someone I know that tries to take adventure of my generosity, I tend to think of them as using me or as a leech. I used to allow people to use me that way, but realized that it should be...

I guess that most humans would cry or become upset when someone close to them dies. It's the natural thing to do right.? .. I'm just kind of numb about it . I think my step cousin was the only death I ever cried over. When...

GavinKaos Your reaction is normal. Humans have a large amount of emotions to deal with, and everyone deals with things differently. I didn't cry for my grandfather who died, and he was the closest person I have known that has died. My children (my pets), I cried for...

GavinKaos I don't think the world will come to an end, but if it does, I think it will only be the end as we know it. That being said, if the mayans were right, as some interpret, it won't be predicted based on a time zone. I must add though, I don't know if I'd...

GavinKaos I agree, there are too many predictions that the world is going to end or the rapture is going to happen, but I don't think I will ever laugh at them. Well at least about the end of the world (I know what many think, why can one happen but not the other. That...

GavinKaos I can see your point Vertu007, but I can also See 3honor's point as well. I think that if I were able to predict the end of the world, I would predict where I came from, however who is to say the the predictions were based on their timezone or any timezone...

GavinKaos I guess it depends on how I handle accepting them. If I think they are new, I probably would accept them because when I first started, if I'd have not of had friends doing it, I probably would have tried to branch out as well. Although I'd at least try to have...

I am more interested in how a dish looks, smells and tastes than about health when I eat. But I´m sure that if I serve a nice looking dish, the quantity will not be as big as to make me overweighted. And surely if the dish is of...

GavinKaos To be honest, food and caffeine are my drug of choice. I LOVE food. You can't tell by looking at me, but I love to eat. I would rather eat tasty food than healthy food unless the healthy food tastes good. I figure I only live once and I am not the type to...

GavinKaos I don't play any instruments because I am a man without rhythm when it comes to any kind of music. I sometimes do listen to music when I am studying, but most often I don't. I don't generally listen to classical music because it relaxes me too much.

GavinKaos Too be honest, I don't like Christmas. Its not factual (even if you believe in god), it has become too commercialized. People often spend money they don't have or can't afford on people they barely like (such as a office co-worker during a secret Santa), or...
