Do you hate someone?

heatspine @heatspine (1141) • Philippines 13 Mar 07

In our lifetime, there are several occasions that we have hatred in our hearts. Maybe because its a person or an action done against us. We tend to forgive but there are instances that it takes time for us to heal and thus delay...

halfserious It is human nature to hate others. It's part of the survival instinct. You can't go around hating all the time because it will consume you, but there is a time and place for it.

Are you polite to cold sales callers? (People who phone you to sell something)

Bizziebod @Bizziebod (3497) 15 Feb 07

It really gets on my nerves, you can guarantee as soon as you have sat down for something to eat the phone rings and it's someone trying to sell you double glazing or insurance - I know in some parts of the states and here in the...

halfserious I turn off my phone before I sit down to eat. I turn it back on when I am done. Prevention is the best medicine. ;) Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I have a male friend who is very funny. I am committed to a guy who is somewhat reserved. My guy & i seldom see each other, and my friend and I see each other more and spend time together more. My boyfriend thinks that I am using...

halfserious Your boyfriend needs to be put at ease, if you get all defensive about your position you will just drive a big nail between you and him. I've been just like him at times. The last thing we want to hear about is you spouting off about another guy friend "blah...

Underappreciation of Fathers

Would you be mad if this happened to you?

queenajasmina @queenajasmina (449) • United States 9 Feb 07

Okay so this is a discussion me and my best friend have been having for some time now. If you had a huge birthday cake with your name on it, and someone comes and cuts your name and eats it, ( whe there are other pieces of cake...

halfserious I don't see the big deal. The person getting the cake should have the right to choose the piece they want (typically because they cut the first piece); but after they get their first piece any piece is fair game. And what if you have a long name? That mean...

People Brutally Killing and Eating Stray Dogs

cuddleme01 @cuddleme01 (2725) • Philippines 9 Feb 07

I just saw on tv this evening (Philippine time) stray dogs being brutally killed and eaten by some people. They mercilessly kill these man’s best friends by hitting them on the head with hard wood or dig a hole in their necks...

halfserious It's a cultural thing, and even if you value dogs as your friends you should respect that not everyone thinks that dogs are man's best friend. I was watching a show on how Africans eat monkeys. Now, I'm more upset about that because monkeys, chimps,...

halfserious Kids need to be kids, but in many cases its not that we are pushing them too hard, we're just pushing them to do the wrong things. Every boy doesn't need to be an athlete, and every girl doesn't need to be a cheerleader. Most of the pressure on kids are from...

Should newborns & babies sleep on their tummy or facing up?

halfserious This is a really really good topic. If your baby is able to roll over and change position, it probably makes sense for them to sleep which ever way they are most comfortable. Don't force them to sleep a particular way, as it may have some longterm effects on...

We need more laws to protect us from our own stupidity

blueskies @blueskies (1186) • United States 8 Feb 07
