Divorcing after 72 days!

blue65packer @blue65packer (11826) • United States 31 Oct 11

That is true! Kim Kardashian filed divorce papers to husband Kris Humperies! I bet it has to do with him not making any money and the NBA season being in lockout and could be cancelled all together! After an over the top wedding...

gicolet I don't think Kim is a marrying type herself. She has been married and divorced once before already and even her own sister Chloe was doubting Kim being in love with Kris Humprey. I think Kim is in love with the thought of being in love with the possibility of...

gicolet I loved my parents. Me and my siblings tried our best to be by their side until the very end of their lives. However I do not expect the same from my children. Someday if I will grow weak and old and sickly I am open-minded enough to think that it's just how...

gicolet That doesn't make any sense. The immigration officials have no right to not let your neighbor go as long as her travel docs are valid. Maybe her travel papers were not complete. There are certain docs that are required by immigration officials at the airport...

Issues with last name

Pushhyarag2000 @Pushhyarag2000 (1416) • India 21 Oct 11

Though last name [also called family name, surname] are common, there are many instances that I know of, where people didn't have one and they realized its importance or need when applying for a passport. Its a must for passport &...

gicolet I've never heard of anyone without last names except of course with some celebrities like Prince and Madonna. Millions of people have the same first names and that's why last names are required. I'm guessing centuries ago last names were a way of recognizing...

When was the last time you've said I love you to your parents?

masang @masang (295) • Philippines 21 Oct 11

I was not expressive verbally regarding my affection towards my parents because that's what I experienced with them since I was a child. My parents were not expressive. They didn't say I LOVE YOU but I experienced their tender...

Do you think the ladies from the West are more beautiful than the East.

wildlittlefan @wildlittlefan (4680) • Hong Kong 17 Oct 11

I am trying to figure out the real beauty of the world and maybe you can share with me about your opinion.There are times we always think that the ladies, girls, women from the west are more beautiful than those from the East. Is...

gicolet I don't think geography has something to do with it. I still believe that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. A lady can be beautiful just for having a pretty face or good body but if she does not know how to style her looks then physically she's not that...

jammyPaul @jammyPaul (101) • Taiwan 12 Oct 11

gicolet There is no way China is going to let Taiwan be a country and that to me is unfair. China was defeated by Taiwan 100 yrs ago. China should just swallow its pride but being a bigger country it's impossible. Sad to say Taiwan has also become dependent on China...
