karlana First off, you are wasting energy. That doesn't leave a whole lot for the future if we all tend to leave them on all the time. Second of all, you will never know when something will stop working in that system, in which it will be a catch-22 and you...

Do you think animals have rights?

paperchaser @paperchaser (503) • Canada 4 Feb 07

If you ask me, I will be blunt and say that no way in hell does an animal have any right. Humans made up rights and laws because we are smart enough to think of these things ourselves, and to save ourselves from killing and eating...

karlana And isn't it odd that they feel they are not the ones at fault? I see it all the time also, as a teacher. It just doesn't comprehend with my brain that these parents think it is okay to allow young children to run around like they own the neighbohoods,...

How do you feel about Immigration?

dragonstar13 @dragonstar13 (1465) • United States 1 Jan 07

karlana Kind of hard to see why she would do that. Rowling is not an author to be known to fall into this sort of selling stream. I highly doubt it. I think she will stick to the official date of 07/16.
