KrisNY I express my “real” views here at mylot- Sometimes I might skip a discussion if it’s too “deep” and depending on my mood. I always give my real feelings and opinions though- If people want to disagree with me- It’s fine with me- I can’t imagine everyone...

beautifulceiling Why thank you! Yes, I did them with Paint Shop Pro. I used to be into graphic design a lot more than I am now and these are just some quickies I threw together. Thank you so much for the compliment.

beautifulceiling Countries are a lot like families. Healthy families look at problems and do something about them. When members of a family see that they are dysfunctional, pointing that out doesn't mean they hate the family. In fact, it probably means they love the family so...

creativedreamweaver I have to agree. I get very tired of the "bad rap" the United States gets from other countries and even it's own citizens. I too am not in total agreement with the war, and I certainly think Bush is a "bleep". But, the US is still my country, it is the home of...

rosie_123 Well, I think it is wrong and dangerous to stereotyope any race or country. Of course, there are lots of good Americans, who are decent people, and I have lots of friends from the States and have been there quite a few times. However, I have to say I have also...

maximax8 I would agree. Germans are the best tourists of all. For a start they go to almost every country in the world. Sometimes I don't see many English people like myself but I usually see a few Germans at the very least. They are just so polite. Every hotel must...

michelledarcy I'm not a fan of cricket either. To me it seems silly that they have to try and run in all those pads. I also can't see where the skill is really. I prefer watching a game of tennis or a football match.

lloydanthony111 I do not like the nuclear option. It's too dangerous and getting rid of the waste is becoming more difficult because people don't want it in their back yards. Do you remember Chernobyl. People still aren't allowed to live near that nuclear reactor and high...

michelledarcy I think we should certainly be investing in wind, water and solar energy rather than nuclear power. I don't understand why this isn't considered an option for most governments.
