Just why do we have pets anyway?

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 27 Apr 07

This might be more of a rhetorical question..hehehe...but since there are so many pet owners out there, just why do you have a pet? Is it because you somehow want to feel a connection with the animal world? Do you view your pet as...

honestabe I live alone and far from any family and friends so having a pet around the house keeps me from going crazy.

Poker

momknows @momknows (284) • United States 10 Feb 07

Why is poker on ESPN. When I put on ESPN I want to see sports! My opinion of sports is action. What's your view on this?

espn

poker

sports

honestabe Poker on ESPN is bad news. I agree with you on the action part. They may as well just create a poker channel and put it on there so ESPN can show some real sports. Don't get me wrong b/c I like poker, but it shouldn't be on ESPN that's for sure.

Do You download legally, or illegally?

aleks_saricx @aleks_saricx (410) • United States 10 Feb 07

We all know that it is very easy to download whatever you can imagine off the internet. Any file we can think of. We can download thousand dollar programs with a simple google search. We can open a p2p program such as limewire and...

honestabe I typically will test out programs by getting them illegally. If the program amazes me I'll think about buying it. But there are no guarantees. Usually the only good thing about legal programs is you can call and get help on the product if you are to ever have...

honestabe My explanation of this situation you pretty much already covered in your initial posting. When a relationship starts out one way (talking everyday, seeing each other a lot etc.) and then things change quite drastically (her not wanting to talk and not calling...

honestabe I don't think this is a matter of discriminating or not. It's a matter of how far people take their discrimination against someone. Let's face it: everyone discriminates against someone or something that they have encountered in their life. Most people...

honestabe It would be a little disturbing, but I just returned from Australia and I encountered many Carpet Pythons and I have grown to like those snakes a lot. They are very passive so unless a person repeatedly made them mad it wouldn't bite. I think overall I would...

Why do people let their kids sit in the middle of an aisle and play with toys?

GrammaFood @GrammaFood (716) • United States 10 Dec 06

honestabe I definitely understand your anger. Some parents tend to think that anywhere outside of their own house their kids can do as they please. It's just irritating that parents don't understand the common logic that mostly everyone else does understand when it...

Prayer in schools???

Ambur25 @Ambur25 (1006) • United States 7 Dec 06

This is simply my opinion in my own words. If you don't agree with my opinion, then we all know what opinions are like..lol. I won't agree with yours and you won't agree with mine, end of story. But, here goes... I think it's...

honestabe I agree, yet disagree at the same time. The right for a religious person to pray at their own will while in school is important, yet it is taken away by schools obviously. I think the reasoning for this is that the schools are trying to create a neutral...

honestabe By no means is the guy a bad person or a pervert. I think too many people focus on age. It's not like it's an 18 year old and a 5 year old. They are both in high school, both "roughly" the same age and I feel they can decide to pursue a relationship...

American Idol - auditions? or talent?

gomommygo @gomommygo (83) • United States 7 Dec 06

I'm curious how many people enjoy the auditions more than the actual "talent", and how many people just can't wait until the top 20 are identified? I, personally, like to watch the talent and have no interest in watching all...

honestabe The auditions are much better! I definitely don't want to see people with talent, or what they consider talent on the show. If I want to hear good singing, I have plenty of albums I could listen to. If I want to have a good laugh, then I watch auditions and...

Cocaine Found In Toy Section Of Wal-Mart

brokentia @brokentia (10389) • United States 7 Dec 06

http://www.kotv.com/news/local/story/?id=115871 I would think that if it was in a baggie and stuffed under a shelf, it was probably a employee. With it being such a risk to children, I would hope that WalMart would drug test all...

honestabe Wal-Mart more than likely will do nothing about it. There are a lot of employees at places like Wal-Mart and they won't waste their time. They might be basically 100% sure it was an employee and they still wouldn't do a drug test on anyone. They have an...

honestabe You can't hide your relationship forever. Sooner or later your parents will find out and it'd be best if they found out because you just told them the truth. You feel guilty for lying to them so you may as well lose the pressure of being guilty and just tell...
