Have you ever hang up your phone on those soliciting calls?

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 11 Jul 09

Don't you feel it is rude to hang up people on the phone right before they start their speech? Especially toward those soliciting calls? I done it many times, while I was enjoying my nice meal at home. Those unstop phone calls...

icecroft Yeah, they are really annoying right? Usually, I try my best to politely tell them that I'm busy or not interested with what they're trying to offer me. But if they disregard what I'm saying and still talks like there's no tomorrow, then I won't hesitate to...

icecroft I do agree that it's rather impolite if someone does not respond to your text messages or phone calls. However, you need to also keep in mind that the person you're trying to contact may be busy with other things. For SMS messages that don't get replied, I...

icecroft Yes I do agree with rewarding kids for getting good grades. If I have the resources to spare, I don't see anything wrong with it. They've worked hard for it, so they do deserve it. Doing this gives them motivation. It's not that you're not teaching them the...

icecroft Yes, I can type without looking at the keyboard. I'm in front of the computer pretty much everyday because of my work so I've memorized it already. Besides, we used to have typing class during high school so I guess that helped a bit too.

greenline @greenline (14838) • Canada 10 Jul 09

For movies based on books: Do you read the books first or Watch the movie first?

mynestegg @mynestegg (519) • Philippines 10 Jul 09

David Archuleta or David Cook?

esp2_mayn @esp2_mayn (135) • Malaysia 10 Jul 09
