What's the meanest thing someone has called you?

ANIME123 @ANIME123 (2466) • United States 6 Feb 10

Well the meanest thing that some one has called me would have to be loner. I guess because I was a loner till I got friends. Right now I don't know what people may say about me or think about me, but I don't really care even...

heathcliff Sometimes the meanest things can be the most innocent sounding ones to someone else. People who we know do not like us and call us terrible names do not bother us as much as unexpected feedback from friends or unknown people. For me, I was most upset, years...

Lost: More Questions!

VampireChick5 @VampireChick5 (114) • United States 6 Feb 10

I was one of the many people on February 2nd that watched the Season 6 premiere of Lost. I was a little upset. In the last season they are supposed to explain things about what has happened in the series. But they've confused us...

heathcliff I've decided to wait until the DVD set. Unlike 24, which is pretty straight-forward, Lost is too complicated to wait a week for the next installment and then not being able to review key moments.

heathcliff I can see using a celebrity photo if you are claiming to be a fan (which would mean your MyLot name would have to reflect that since it is the only thing always attached to your picture), but I am disappointed by people trying to be something they are not. As...

heathcliff DCMerkle's history lesson gives you the best background, but there is one more aspect to the story. Many, many years ago, candy and card companies despised the gap between Christmas and Easter, a terrible bump that slowed the momentum built from the...

The Obama Store Closes Down

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 6 Feb 10

The Obama store at Union Station, Washington D.C has called it a day and closed down. Is this a sign that Obama mania has run it's course, or just a sin of an economy that cannot support Obama mugs and Obama t-shirts? Now a...

heathcliff spalladino gave you your best answer, but it is true that the political momentum of Obama's election is waning. The very people that need Obama to succeed in his vision of America are the ones who may not be able to afford mugs and T-Shirts on a whim right...

Success- Luck or hardwork?

gracce @gracce (335) • India 7 Feb 10

Hi friends,Success is the thing everyone is struggling to achieve but why it is like that very few people achieve it.The best answer can be luck, but what about hardwork?Sometimes hard work also plays an important role,Many times...

heathcliff In a capitalist society we have to understand that the idea of "hardwork" may be more than motivation and execution. The "hard" part often comes in moral choices: do we choose to "destroy" another or live off the suffering of others to make our success. It is...

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 7 Feb 10

After watching palin's adress to the Tea Party Converntion last night and doing a little more digging of my own, I have come to a pretty depressing conclusion. It's over. What started as a great grass roots movement, possibly the...

heathcliff I think what you are seeing is the effect of dozens of potential political parties being forced into the established Big Two. The Republicans, right now, just happen to be the ones with major rifts among those would-be smaller parties and are facing the...

Three Children - Three Daddies

purplealabaster @purplealabaster (22091) • United States 7 Feb 10

I was just thinking about a conversation that I had a while back. An acquaintance was telling me about this woman that she knew that had three children by three different fathers. From the way that she was talking, I was...

heathcliff Unfortunately multiple-father families pose terrible problems for the chidren. It is not impossible to raise good kids in that situation but it puts everyone involved into difficult situations. Adults absolutely have the right to marry, divorce and remarry in...

Why No Haiti Telethon on Fox News Friday Night?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 24 Jan 10

Maybe they explained it at one time or another but I have to admit I was quite surprised to see that one of the VERY few channels that didn't run the star-studded telethon for Haiti relief was Fox News. They instead ran their...

heathcliff The easy answer is that it didn't forward their agenda. Although it may have been a self-serving decision, I didn't have any problem with it because they were entirely too many channels already trying to get their piece of that Haitian Gold.

all the people of the world to unite

iyberne @iyberne (4) • South Africa 3 Sep 06

i am a south african and love my country even in the new democratic country and i ask why can all the different religions of the world not unite instead of one trying to destroy the other does it matter if we all serve who we see...

1 response

heathcliff I have never understood why love of one's country, faith in one's religion and respect for one's culture EVER has to mean disliking or even hating those who do not share your views and experiences. Someday, perhaps, we will not have to fear those with so...

Does god talk to you?

NefariousFox @NefariousFox (161) • United States 22 Jan 10

In what way? Is it through the word? Is it your emotions? Do you actually hear his voice? Do you perhaps even see him? Have you had an MRI recently?

What's wrong with Obama?

EliHart @EliHart (8) 8 Jul 09

Every president gets slagged off to some degree, sometimes more deserved than others. For the past three presidents I've heard people call them the 'worst in history.' That either means that people like to gripe about their...

heathcliff I do grow tired of defending what the Far Right is calling "Socialism" these days. Still, the definition is basically correct, it is just that the opposite, Libertarianism, is far too dangerous. The world would be run by giant corporations with no controls...

President Bush at Kansas State University

piasabird @piasabird (1737) • United States 8 Jul 09

I doubt there will ever be an outpouring of appreciation like this for President Obama. It doesn't seem like he works on the side of liberty but instead on the side of tyrants and dictators as demonstrated by his actions...

heathcliff If President Obama's international partnership plans work out, he will get "outpouring of appreciation" a thousandfold more than that. If all of it comes from overseas that would be a shame. It would show America to be an isolationist bully that only wants to...

The Pope VS. Corporations. Who will win

thegreatdebater @thegreatdebater (7316) • United States 8 Jul 09

Pope Benedict XVI has called for a new world financial order guided by ethics, dignity and the search for the common good. He also said:"Profit is useful if it serves as a means toward an end," he wrote. "Once profit becomes the...

heathcliff Alot of companies already have ethics and "people first" statements worked into their business plans. It is great for publicity, after all, but it is hard to enforce when their still basing bonuses and reviews primarily on the bottom line. From the Pope's...
