Have you ever consumed an expired product?

chiyochan @chiyosan (30183) • Philippines 6 Jan 13

I was in a meeting with the same people I have a project with for the past 3 months, and suddenly she was like laughing out load and was telling me that she accidentally ate all of the bread/pastry and noticed that it was expired...

keltician There's a difference between 'best before' 'sell by' and 'consume by' dates. The best before is advisory and eating it after that date shouldn't do you any harm unless the product is clearly 'off'. 'Sell by' is more for the store's guidance. The 'consume by'...

I want to make a garden in my balcony

@mayka123 @mayka123 (16604) • India 13 Nov 12

I want to start a small garden in my balcony. Just now there is only the money plant there. May go to the market this weekend and buy some plants and seeds. Have already bought a few pots and mud. Any suggestions on what to get to...

keltician Have you considered colourful and edible? You might mix decorative pots/planters with a few dedicated to vegetables (if space allows). A suggestion might be planting out a balconiere (long narrow planter) with ordinary lettuce (green leaved) and also lollo...

I need a tree

rockerfellaco @rockerfellaco (157) • United States 5 Jan 13

I am looking to plant a tree in my front yard this spring. I don't want anything huge. Something that gets 10-12 feet high maximum and doesn't spread too far. I just want something that will give me a little privacy in my living...

keltician You might consider a Japanese Acer (member of the maple family) that is slow growing and has beautiful maroon coloured variegated leaves. Properly planted, in the right conditions, these relatively slow growing trees would provide an attractive feature. They...

"This way. No this way"

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 5 Jan 13

Western countries generally operate a two party system, one leftwards leaning the other tends to look to the right. Conservative and Socialist is the typical configuration. Often, especially in Europe, there is a centre party too...

keltician I don't think you should assume that the caustic nature of the recent US election is necessarily typical of all liberal democracies. Politicians in the UK and France, for example, seem to manage to argue their corner without all elections descending into a...

How would you enforce the law?

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 3 Jan 13

Recently I went out for a meal in a restaurant with a notice saying 'no smoking'. After a while we were aware of someone smoking nearby and asked the waiter why this was allowed when there was a notice saying it was not. He...

keltician If there was a law against smoking in public places, then it should be reported to the authorities. If there was no such law n the district where the restaurant was and you consumed a meal having seen the 'No Smoking' sign on the way in, then it could be...

keltician It was a local derby where it doesn't always pay to go by the form book. QPR were always going to get themselves better organised under Harry Redknapp. Chelsea just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't forget that up until today, Chelsea...

Should you have to swear on the Bible in court?

Wilson @wilsonburrell (207) • United States 30 Sep 12

With so many different religions in America should it still be mandatory to swear on the Bible in court?

3 responses

keltician In a secular society it should not be. A solemn affirmation (or a particular religion's equivalent to an oath on the Bible) should be sufficient. The consequences of perjury are the same whether swearing on the Bible or affirming.

Do You Agree that the United States Should Give-Up-on the Constitution?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 1 Jan 13

I don't, but a Georgetown Law-professor wrote an op-ed for the New York Times (at http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/31/opinion/lets-give-up-on-the-constitution.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20121231&_r=0&pagewanted=all which I...

keltician Giving up the constitution is akin to saying that you can run a game of football without a set of rules. Who would rule? The executive? The legislature? The judiciary? Any soapbox upstart that declared him or herself leader? In the UK there is no written...
