Are you against small kids carrying huge school bags?

xorticanz @xorticanz (377) • India 31 Aug 10

I am strictly against this. I have suffered a lot due to this. In this modern world, students should be given some draws so that they can keep all the books there in school itself. In many schools i have seen students are given...

Laurenzigzag I have already decided that my future children will be homeschooled. I think it is ridiculous that some kids must come home from a long day of school and spend anywhere from 2 to 4 hours on school work. Not to mention that a lot of the time students are given...

Dear Mylot dog lovers, We went to Cartimar yesterday, a large market housing almost a hundred of different pet shops. When we got to one stall, my daughter fell in love with a Maltese. The dog is pure white that the owner of...

Laurenzigzag I wouldn't pay that for a dog without papers. I have a purebred Yorkie that I got from a shelter. I only paid $175 for him. If you really want a maltese I would look around some more. I've priced some purebreds at petshops and they want ridiculous amounts for...

Laurenzigzag You can do it that way. I taught my yorkie roll over by saying rollover and then pushing him over onto his other side. Then one day it just clicked and he did it on his own.

Laurenzigzag Girls cry more than guys because they want guys to protect them.I don't think crying really has anything to do with being weak or strong. I think women shouldn't struggle so hard to be seen as equals. I think we should all just sit back and let men think...

boldness harms leadership!!!???

Laurenzigzag If I'm understanding this correctly then I don't agree. I think it takes a great deal of boldness to make a good leader and that those are the people who need to be in command. I don't think boldness comes from ignorance either. I think people are bold because...

Laurenzigzag Actually, it is usually better to start training them early. Younger puppies are usually more eager to please. Once they become a "teenager" they are much more rebellious and will try to test you. When training you beagle, you should work in an environment...

Do you respect to your parents?

careguarden @careguarden (5670) • Philippines 16 Aug 10

I wonder why other children didn't respect to their parents if they are mad. Do you respect your parents all the time even if you are not in the mood? I usually did. I respect them with all my heart. How about you?

Laurenzigzag That's disgusting. I mean I have no problem with people tattooing themselves because that's their choice. In fact, I might even want to get a tattoo some day, but a dog can't say no. It can't tell you that it doesn't want one. It's just cruel.
