mcgill1 Dont change yourself, be yourself, and let other people come to you. Be bold, stand out in front, think of new ideas, rise above your own mentality, stick your neck out, to quote "M" people "Look for the hero inside yourself and then you'lle find the key to...

Here in Australia we have an aging population, so to combat that, the government has started giving out a baby bonus to encourage people to have more children. For those who are wanting children it can be a blessing, it's extra...

mcgill1 When you are young the world is your oyster, so why dont you just wait for the right boy to choose you, instead of you having to choose. There is an old saying here in the UK, "If in doubt", "dont". When you are older, the reverse applies to a woman,...

mcgill1 Both the British and the American's have the free market. The free market encourages self interest, and self interest encourages inward thinking, introspection.

This may seem like a silly question. We hear things about how important a positive attitude is all the time. People may know this on the inside, but not show it on the outside. Some people are always negative and never pass up...

mcgill1 I think by nature people feel negative, and are negative. We want want want, this makes us negative because we dont get these wants quick enough, in many cases I believe that that Americans and the British are the most childish nations on this planet.

mcgill1 My favourite Romantic movie has got to be "Love is a many Splendered thing". With William Holden and Jennifer Jones. True adult romance, love, and heartbreak, just as love and romance always is, and always will be.

How do you decide on who is the right person to Vote for? Do you just choose by who is the most popular, or because you are a die hard Democrat, because of what they stand for, etc? With this being the major Election for...
