What books did you read as a kid?

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 11 Jan 10

How many of you have loved reading since a really young age, and what books did you read as a kid? My parents were determined to plant the love of reading in me. I remember being four and Mom telling me I had to follow along...

jshan87 I actually cut my teeth on Goosebumps. I hate to say it but I craved those books, I think my favorite was the one with the evil camera or the one with the puppet.

Do the French make their movies like they make their art?

jazzsue58 @jazzsue58 (2666) 11 Jan 10

I watched La vie en rose the other night, a biopic about Edith Piaf, with subtitles. Acting was superb, but it was very puzzling the way it was shot - the flashback sequences were all over the place! Like, she got married and lost...

jshan87 Yea they do because a movie is art. Look at the thousands of american movies out there. Many of them are artsy and then some not. The French work the same way, they are gonna have there movies for the masses and then the artsy movies for those who want to dig...

Why is it easier to text someone than to call them???

mariaf324 @mariaf324 (96) • United States 11 Jan 10

Why is it easier to text someone than to call them?? Is it because you can express yourself more through text?? People can't hear your tone of voice but your tone of words... And why is it that you can leave a response on their...

jshan87 It is easier because you are not in front of the person you are communicating with. You will notice that whether you talk to a person or not your actions will change when that person walks into the room. You think about your own self image, the way you sound,...

Is it necessary to make unkind assumptions in comments?

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163776) • Garden Grove, California 10 Jan 10

I just read a comment that made the poster really upset, the comment went if the poster could not afford a vet bill he'should not have a dog. Now on the face of it that might make sense, but the poster was trying to explain when...

jshan87 Of course its not necessary to be unkind but it seems to fulfill the needs of many people sitting in front of a screen. It could be that many must hide there true self in public. When they think they are safe and their self is seperate from the comment, they...

jshan87 This is a tough question to answer. for me reading lets me create my setting and make the world and people in it look how I want to. A movie is good when the director has a vision that is close to yours. I feel books win in the end because I feel they have...

jshan87 Yea that's a question I don't we will ever answer in this lifetime. Yea the big bang and evolution my mind tells me are the most logical. However the part I can't work out is self awareness. How does complete nothingness get to a point where it is self aware?...

Why we always run after EASY money?

iamurfriend @iamurfriend (23) 11 Jan 10

Dear Friends in our life we always run after EASY money from morning to night, from childhood to death, from January to December, and ....in our whole life we always keep thinking the best method of earning EASY money. WHY??? Why...

easy money

jshan87 Your on the right track. The problem is we are raised to earn the green, and in a way taught that the money will fill that hole in your soul. In truth money wont bring anything but temporary happiness. You can have not one material possession and be one of the...

jshan87 It all depends on how strong you will is. If you want a lasting relationship humor is obviously great, but you need to connect on more levels than that. If he is not willing to sacrifice anything for you he probably needs the boot.

Do you believe in Bible?

MyzDy19 @MyzDy19 (919) • Philippines 6 Jan 10

Awhile ago my classmate asked me if I believed in the bible. I told him yes then he asked me, "why do you believe in it? Is there any proof that all the things written in there is true?" So what's your idea about this???

jshan87 I am of the opinion that the bible is all good intention. Is the bible absolute perfect truth, no way. You just have to be understanding and take what truths you can from it. I believe there are fragments of truth in all the bibles that exist out there, you...

Torion83 @Torion83 (47) • United States 9 Jan 10

is it possible that the mayans could have been right about 2012? and if so where are they? i personaly believe that we are putting just a little to much thought into it,i mean look at it this way, if the mayan where so smart...

2 responses

jshan87 I'm not worried at all about 2012. I don't believe people can see into the future like that. I just deal with things logically and the chance that the mayans happened to guess the right year that the world will end is very low. You notice they predicted the...

Does gaming ever affect your social life?

tangurama @tangurama (204) • Canada 9 Jan 10

Whenever I'm addicted to a game, I find myself not wanting to do anything else but play the game. Like when my friends ask me to go somewhere with them, I make up a lie and tell them I'm sick or have other plans. Gaming doesn't...
