marianstallings I haven't corrected any grammar on MyLot but I have corrected grammar in my online classes. MyLot isn't formal so I don't feel the need to correct someone, especially if I get the gist of what they are saying. Plus there are a lot of people on MyLot who aren't...

There is no such thing as reverse racism.

stacyv81 @stacyv81 (5903) • United States 19 Feb 09

This is pertaining to America I just answered a post that made me think of this.... I do not understand, why it is not ok for white people to have pride in their race, and not be considered racist., yet African Americans...

marianstallings Absolutely....American is American and Racism is Racism. We as a nation need to learn to not be so sensitive. We all have a role to play and we all have a responsibility to not be petty and divisive. If you can't say vote white then you shouldn't be able to...

blackeyedpeas @blackeyedpeas (445) • India 18 Feb 09

marianstallings I've never cheated. I don't know how. I'd rather flunk the exam than cheat. I don't know what I need to improve upon if I just get the answers from someone else. I wouldn't want to find out that my Doctor cheated his way through med school. I hope everyone...

Would you report your friend?

ronaldinu @ronaldinu (12422) • Malta 17 Feb 09

A thought have passed through my mind, that of reporting my friend for child neglect. I recently learned that my friend has left her 8 year old son with 103C fever and his three year old child at home all alone unsupervised. It...

marianstallings I would talk to her first and let her know that you don't approve of her leaving her children alone. I would also offer to babysit for her when she feels she has to get away. She obviously doesn't feel comfortable enough to ask you to sit for her even though...

marianstallings At first I was thinking no. But after I thought about it I realized that I could probably live with just water, especially if I could eat whatever I wanted. I drink coffee, but only if it's convenient. I don't go out of my way to make it or buy it. If I have...

Forget School, We need to learn skills NOW to Secure our Jobs

knowledgeocity @knowledgeocity (39) • United States 27 Jan 09

Man, with our downward spiraling economy, jobs are harder and harder to keep. I have found that people with the most skills keep their jobs. But who has time to enroll in school or college. We need the skills NOW. I suggest that...

marianstallings Even knowledge and skills can't save you, sorry to say. I was on my job for 13 years and knew more than anyone else in the business because no one had been there as long as I had. I was always called upon to resolve issues that no one else could figure out. My...

marianstallings This is my advice to you. Talk to her and voice your concerns. If she still wants to marry the other man, move on. You can't stop people from making mistakes if they are insistent upon making them. All you can do is point out the possibility that they may not...

What if the man slaps you?

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 5 Nov 08

I haven't experienced this yet but if a man slaps me on the face then I would have second thoughts of pursuing the relationship I have with him. A man is supposed to be a woman's saver and not someone who injures. There are men...

marianstallings I would not be with someone who physically abused me. I may stay with someone who verbally abused me, but only for awhile. I figure if I could just get him to understand his words hurt, he actually listens and understands then he'll think twice before he says...

Have you already tried a diet plan ?

katrhina23 @katrhina23 (1282) • United States 5 Nov 08

I just want to ask you guys if you have already tried a diet plan . What was it ? Was it effective? I have been struggling with my weight since I was a teenager. When I was a little younger (20s), I would easily lose some...

marianstallings I've tried tons of diet plans...the best one that worked for me where I was able to keep the weight off was the Dr. Atkins plan. It's a lifestyle not a diet. Once you stray from the diet for an extended period of time you gain the weight back. That's what...

Now I've seen it all! A car that runs on AIR!

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 3 Nov 08

Can you believe it? It's a tiny bug of a car but they claim it gets up to 35 mph; great for quick runs to the grocery store or drugstore. I find it hard to believe that they could make something as simple as this yet it took so...

marianstallings sign me up! I would love a car that runs on air. I'd make my husband take the longer drives and I can cruise around the neighborhood and get my stuff done and save $ by not having a gasoline bill. More shoes for me!

What do you think about people who's voter registration doesn't match?

thedogshrink @thedogshrink (1266) • United States 3 Nov 08

What does everyone think? If your voter registration doesn't match your ID/current info, should you be allowed to vote anyway? If you're willing, also say who you support -- Just wondering if there is a difference based on...
