hbsbucks Oddly enough, it isn't the needle I fear, but the medication. I have a chest port, so I am used to needles. However, I am quite afraid of medication, as there is always the potential for side effects. Unfortunately, I have to take about thirty medications...

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 27 Feb 11

Hey all the readers out there! I've got a question for you. Do you have Genre Biases? As in... you only read books from a certain genre or you won't read books from other genres? Or are you an easy to please person who's going to...

hbsbucks Although I am very attached to the Science-Fiction genre, I do deviate from it on occasion. So, I am not completely genre-locked, but it really depends on the moment. (Well, and perhaps a little on my budget!) If I get started on a series though, I might...

Courtesy exaggerated hide or betray characters?

didi13 @didi13 (2926) • Romania 3 Mar 11

Many times exaggerated kindness hides a particular purpose. It's sad that it is too little kindness unselfish today, and we got used to it. Even if we have encounter an exaggerated copy of disinterested kindness,we were paranoid...

hbsbucks While I am not certain I entirely understand; your question has nonetheless intrigued me, thus I've decided to comment. I have been accused of exaggerated kindness in the past. That is, a seemingly unnatural display of kindness for the given situation....

Has the Internet changed you as a person?

megamatt @megamatt (14291) • United States 2 Mar 11

I think before I got on the Internet, I was far, far more trustworthy of people in general. Now these days, while I'm not completely paranoid, partially paranoid is an answer. The Internet has allowed everyone access to everyone...

Have you tried reading the Bible?

ganza_lovers @ganza_lovers (131) 1 Mar 11

hbsbucks The Bible is an excellent collection of books that I very much enjoy reading. Though I will admit, there are some books I enjoy quite a bit more than others. Also, I prefer reading from easier translations such as Contemporary English, and The Message.

lady Di @lady1993 (27224) • Philippines 1 Mar 11

hbsbucks Absolutely! I am a fan-fiction addict, and I have been for a long time! I also read a lot of traditional books. Part of what I like about fan-fiction though, is the unique perspective in which you get to experience characters that you already adore! I love...

asxenon @asxenon (1440) • Malaysia 20 Sep 10
