magneto2011 Of course, I am very proud to be a Filipino, staria. I also take pride with what our nation can offer to all Filipinos and non-Filipinos as well. The country is not only rich in natural resources, it has a rich culture, its people are equally smart,...

Being contended is a great way to enjoy life!!!!

kramsgir @kramsgir (146) • Philippines 16 Feb 11

I have this teacher that really caught my attention. He is so humble and proud in a good way. He talks about his achievement in life and how he graduated despite the fact that he was a working student. I was hit by his words and...

If you see a man shopping in the womens lingerie department what do you assume?

ShannyBananny @shaggin (72141) • United States 14 Feb 11

Why ask for suggestions?

staria @staria (2780) • Philippines 15 Feb 11

Why should you ask for suggestions if you really do not want to take any? Observed this person, s/he's asking for suggestion but she kinda repel everything that people recommends.

Giving advices

staria @staria (2780) • Philippines 14 Feb 11

Why does it seem to be easier to give out advices? But let's face the fact that when we are in the same situation or when we have problems, we find it hard to apply those advices that we give to other people. True?

magneto2011 In some cases, that could be a true observation staria; it's far too easy to give an advice to others than follow it ourselves. The reason is, one can afford to be objective in assessing the problem rationally when he or she is just an outsider; when one is...

Why Can't People See Imagined Sins as Jokes?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 14 Feb 11

When I jokingly comment that 'I might as well "do some unpardonable sin," why do people suppose that I would actually intend to commit the unpardonable act? For example; when I say 'I might as well walk up to my best-friend's...

What Is a Better Discussion-Starter than the Question 'Why?' And Why?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 13 Feb 11

I don't think there is one, because it's an incomplete puzzle-picture begging for you to complete it. Does anything start better discussions for you? What? Why so?

Blood donation

staria @staria (2780) • Philippines 11 Feb 11

Some say that if you cannot help in terms of money, you can help by giving something that is far more important than money. So let's say blood donors are needed. Would you do it voluntarily? Let's face it that there are people who...
