lillake She's not very smart and tends to open her mouth to prove that fairly often. She had a book written for her by a known racist that is full of misinformation and lies. And she said Polar Bears aren't endangered, just unlucky.

which would you prefer on your dining table?

squaretile @squaretile (3778) • Singapore 7 Dec 09

A jug of fresh flowers, or a nicely arranged artificial bouquet? Personally, as most girls do, I'd prefer a fresh bouquet of flowers. But the practical side of me says that artificial flowers would last so much longer without...

lillake I'd rather have neither. Fake flowers are sometimes made from hazardous materials or sprayed with hazardous chemicals. And I'd rather not pick a plant unless it has a use. My ideal would be a nice potted plant small enough to fit on the table.

lillake Lots of reasons. Some simple do not understand science and refuse to begin. They feel science is evil, and only their religion can save anyone. Since there is no global climate change in the bible, then it must not be real. Others are greedy, they make money...

lillake I don't know any atheists who think pokemon were real. Unless you're counting little kids, but I hardly see how little children should be the spokespeople for atheists. Where have you see atheists stating pokemon were real?

If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you buy and why?

bubblicious0 @bubblicious0 (87) • United States 6 Dec 09

If I won the lottery I the first thing I would buy would be a mansion because I just really want a exquisite house. Plus all you really need in life is a house and food.

8 responses

lillake If I won the lottery I would give some money to my family, then buy ticket to fly to Costa Rica. I don't want a big house or fancy car, I want to live somewhere calm and simple and peaceful.

lillake How-to articles do tend to get upfront payments. I tend to write parenting articles, which do OK but not amazing. Seasonal ones are great too. Right now articles about giving gifts such as gifts to give your boss, and new year's resolutions would be hits.

lillake I favorite books have always been 1984 and Brave New World, though Leaving Eden is also one I could read time and time again. Generally I prefer to real non-fiction and how-to books. But a good story is a nice escape once and a while.

lillake Spanking is illogical at best, cruel at worst. it does not teach a child to act in a proper manner. It only teaches the child that his actions bring a threat of violence from someone he should be able to trust and love. It teaches the use of violence over all...
