Children should not be allowed to watch TV!

Sawsen @Sawsen (793) • United States 4 Mar 07

I am a firm believer that children should not be allowed to watch TV. Sometimes it gets so upsetting to see these children wasting hours of their day watching TV and doing nothing that is stimulating their minds. I believe there...

jlsmiles22 Well I can't say tv ruins children because I refuse to believe that 90% of all of my generation and the generations behind me are ruined. I do think letting your children watch anything is very harmful, and parents should monitoring their children. Some...

jlsmiles22 Try giving birth to a child.....that process is truly a miracle, way to intricate to just have happened by chance. Other than that I have only this to say: you will see God when you believe He is there. Kinda like this: "If you think you can do...

Which Christian religion is right?

lena2000 @lena2000 (2392) • Belgium 5 Mar 07

There are so many different religions out there, how are you suppose to know which one is right? All Christian religions are similar but they all say something a little different. How are you suppose to know who has it right?...

jlsmiles22 I don't think any religion is 'right'. Not a certain Christian denomination or Christianity itself. There is a great quote that I once heard that I really love: "Do not follow the person that claims to know the truth but stay fast on the heels of someone...

jlsmiles22 I think smoking is disgusting. I am more tolerant of the older generation because they didn't have all the warnings and finding that we do now about it. But I am 23 and since I was in kindergarden we've been told how bad smoking is any that is close to my...

jlsmiles22 You'll survive I'm sure, but I have quite the little drama queen, and honestly 2 was really tough with tantrums and such, but I think 3 was much harder to handle--now that she is 4 it is starting to subside, it's all about your individual child and seeing what...

Did Susan give up too quickly on Mike?

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 1 Mar 07

How long would you have waited for a guy in a coma? I think 6 months wasn't very long for her to start looking for someone else!

jlsmiles22 I think she could have waited longer....however me and dh have an agreement to pull the plug if chances are that dim, neither of us would want to be in that situation and put the other through that for a long period of time, so I doubt I would wait that...

Does your SO feel you as a SAHP do less work than they do outside the house??

angel12402 @angel12402 (47) • United States 22 Feb 07

Does anyone else's significant other compare their outside the house job to your at home parent position? Do they feel you do more or less work than they do? I ask because I am not sure DH really understands what it is like to...

jlsmiles22 Being a SAHP is equivilent to have 2 40hr full time jobs! However my DH is pretty understanding of that fact. For a few months when our oldest was about 2 (our youngest is only 6 months) we switched roles due to circumstances, I worked 60hrs a week and he...

Will Al Gore run?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 27 Feb 07

It seems that maybe Al Gore is positioning himself to make a run for the White House. He's just won an academy award, is a Nobel prize nominee, has the experience and the money to do it. It appears all the cards would be in his...

6 responses

jlsmiles22 I really wouldn't be surprised to see him run again, however I don't think I would vote for him. I think he is doing great things environmentally right now, but I don't think he would make a good president, I didn't when he ran before either. Particularly...

Legalizing Marijuana

threegoats @threegoats (100) • United States 26 Feb 07

Anyone up for a debate? I support the legalization of both recreational and medicinal marijuana. Marijuana is very helpful for chronic pain and helps AIDS patients gain weight because it gives them the munchies. Marijuana doesn't...

jlsmiles22 I support legalizing it as well. I support it because we are never gonna stop people from smoking it, it does have benefits, and I don't think it is any more mind altering than getting drunk. It should have the same restrictions as alcohol, and the sale of...

And The Winner Is......Al Gore!

elisata @elisata (568) • Netherlands 27 Feb 07

Al Gore won an Oscar for his documentary on the global warming... Do you feel he won rightly, or do you think this is an Oscar for a "hot issue" (literally so...lol)? Which brings us to the next question: how political orientated...

Barrack Obama

What do you think of Barrack Obama? Do you think he's a superstar. Do you think he's muslim because his middle name is Hussein. Would you vote for him anyway?
