"I'm so disappointed in you."

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 21 Jan 11

Did your parents ever say this to you? and if so how did it make you feel? Me? My parents never said it. Looking back it was a good thing because if I had heard that, I would have stopped trying to do Anything good. I assume...

lydneis Everyone's different, and honestly like I said people use words like this as a weapon more times than not so it's probably better that way. There are more diplomatic ways to criticise, but some people do need a harsh lesson once in awhile.

Should states be able to claim bankruptcy?

snbutterfly @snbutterfly (259) • United States 21 Jan 11

There has been some discussion on whether or not a state can declare bankruptcy. I don't see how it can. A state can cut a lot of funding before it even thinks about bankruptcy. In fact, many states just pay out way too much money...

lydneis Definately agree that their salaries should be dependant on the budget. It's rediculous that these people (state and federal) are making a living running us into the ground.

How do we use this amount?

Polang @tkonlinevn (6438) • Vietnam 21 Jan 11

My parents have just had a big money amount. We wonder how can we use this amount? My parents always dream about a bigger new house which is more clean and beautiful. They worked hard for a long time. Now they need to be done...

lydneis I agree, if it's your parents money you and your siblings don't really have any claim on it or say in how they spend it. They supported you throughout your childhood and deserve to spend some money on themselves if they so choose. if they want to help their...

Hard choice..lover over mother/father

sammy14 @sammy14 (834) • Philippines 21 Jan 11

Father or mother knows best! Do you agree with me.. Have you ever come to a certain point in life wherein you have to make a choice between your mother/father and your boyfriend/ girlfriend.. And if you decided to choose your...

lydneis I don't understand how people can look at this in terms of black and white. Yes family is important, but that doesn't mean they're always right. If I were certain I was in love with someone and they were in love with me what other people think doesn't matter....

It might not be "your fault", but it's not mine either and it's YOUR problem.

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 21 Jan 11

Nobody wants to take responsibility for their own situation anymore. Somehow it's my job to pay for everyone else's problem. I get it, a lot of people lost their jobs when the economy went south, heck I was unemployed too for a...

lydneis Yes there are people out there taking advantage of unemployment. I personally know people that won't look for another job because they'd be making less than their benefits, but it's the same thing with welfare. There's always someone taking advantage of the...

Should our government tax us less on income than on sales tax?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 21 Jan 11

Here is the dilemma, and if we could vote on it? Facing the current economy, although we are on the gradual recovery, should our government tax less on our income tax, and more on sales tax? Or vice versa, tax more on our income...

lydneis The difference between luxuries and necessities is key. If you raise sales tax it's the same across the board no matter your income, so the necessities become unabtainable to low income families. If you do income tax based on a percentage it is a little more...

Which is more important to you, the past or the future?

roselean @roselean (37) • Philippines 21 Jan 11

I have so many ups and downs in my life in the past, which until now still worried me so much. Should I just move on and forget those things that hurt me? or should I confront those persons first who hurt me before moving on?...

lydneis I agree that the present is what we need to focus on. That being said, if your past affects your day to day life you need to do something about it. Not everyone can just let go of the past. Your experiences shape you so who you are today depends on the past....

Another senseless gun tragedy

lindaharding627 @lindaharding627 (1442) • United States 10 Jan 11

I posted the other day about a tragedy in a neighboring county. I was watching the news today and saw another disturbing story regarding guns. Apparently, a man took his son to a gun show and allowed him to fire an Uzi while he...

lydneis I agree that the dad should be charged. But the owner is also partly responsible. If you have these weapons, you have to have rules for them. Yes anyone with common sense isn't going to hand something like that to a child, but looking at the world today can...

How do we distinguish between good and evil?

gengeni @gengeni (3308) • Indonesia 10 Jan 11

People of good and evil is difficult to distinguish, how do we know people are good or bad? In these days, the appearance is often deceptive, I often find people who are physically was a good and educated, but in reality he is no...

lydneis This may be a little too simple. Honestly it's hard anymore to do something that doesn't hurt someone. To use a cheezy but classic example. You're family is staving so you steal food to feed them. What you did helped your family, but hurt the person you stole...
