justdroppingby Yeah, owing (or lending) money can be a real relationship-breaker. Somehow things get awkward (especially if it's quite a big amount) and then you stop having the same warm and casual chats you used to. But I think it depends on how you look at it.. is the...

Do you believe that dreams have meanings?

mayrah @mayrah (1144) • United States 19 Nov 10

Dreams send us messages. But because we are not dream interpreter, many times we failed to understand the real meaning of our dreams. I do believe dreams have meanings because in a bible, God send messages to people by means of...

justdroppingby I think that they actually do. I've read that dreams (REM sleep, to put it in a more scientific context) is a way that our mind rearranges all the stimuli that we've accumulated throughout the day into neater, more organized boxes. In a way it's our mind's way...

justdroppingby Of course not. Even more so when you're on the internet, since what you get are lines of Unicode or html, and voice/video if you're lucky. Just think of it this way... are the people we meet on the street reliable? Sometimes even the people you take the time...

Peykat @Peykat (119) • Philippines 26 Sep 10

what do you prefer: encoding or handwriting?

flagella08 @flagella08 (5065) • Philippines 28 Jul 10

i always prefer encoding since i am not used to handwriting anymore. i can encode fast too than mere handwriting.besides, it's a waste of time especially when you have long articles to make. how about you?

handwriting

justdroppingby That depends on the situation. Mostly whether I have a device I can use for encoding (laptop) or not. Encoding via PDA or smarthphone is too tedious a task so I do it only when I need a digital copy of what I write. I think school lecture notes with diagrams...

State vs People?

headhunter525 @headhunter525 (3548) • India 29 Jun 10

Sometimes state violates the rights of its citizens, in fact even bulk of them, in order to preserve state. Do you think such state deserves to exist? Does state exist for people or people exist for state?

justdroppingby Ideally, a state should be for and by the people. It's not entirely populist, but the interests of the majority (for of course there will be disjoint somewhere) should be upheld by the state. Realistically though I've seen and read about too many states...
