Labels aren't everything

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 28 Oct 08

I don't come from a rich family so I couldn't afford expensive stuff like my rich friends. When I was a teenager I wanted to be like others and went into debts most of the time buying stuff. But I've grown out of that craze. I now...

monimo hey zandi, I think this s a really good topic. Personally, I'm in the same boat as you are. I have several very rich friends,who don't even look at price tags when they go out shopping, which would NEVER happen to me. I could never afford even one article of...

Do you type REALLY fast?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 28 Oct 08

I know a lot of people use the keyboard the way you're supposed to, where the fingers line up and each finger uses specific keys. Then there's a lot of people who use the one or two finger methods. I have seen people type quickly...

Is there a scent/aroma that brings you back to a particular time in your life?

bananarit @bananarit (12) • Philippines 27 Oct 08

I was on my way home the other day when I smelled lanzones (a fruit popular in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia) peelings being burned. I was suddenly transported back to the time when I was still in elementary and my mom...

monimo hey there bananarit, Sure, there are plenty of smells that bring back memories, or either certain places, or certain people. The smell directs information to your nose, that's why when you smell new things your brain is trying to understand what it is or...

monimo you talk about respect, but I don't see these men as true men! Any man who hits a child, or a woman,no matter what her age is should go straight to jail, no questions asked on why he did it!!! I don't think society as a whole should ever accept such a thing,...

Is it always important to tell the truth- even when it hurts someone?

deeesfamilyvalues @deeesfamilyvalues (318) • United States 26 Oct 08

I was just wondering, Is it always necessary to tell the truth even when we're hurting someone. Is it possible to side skirt the truth and still be honest enough and effective in getting your point across. Or do you think that...

monimo well my friend, you are a rare specimen still alive. Everybody lies. To me, they're called white lies, and I use them every single day, it's impossible not to. Those types of lies don't hurt anybody and never will, of course unless people discover them :P If...

Renting dvds or going to the movie theater...Which do you do most often?

Shar11 @Shar11 (419) • United States 26 Oct 08

I am a member of one of those online/mail out dvd programs. We probably rent about 3 or 4 movies a month. I think because it has become so expensive to go out to the movie theater to see a movie we rent a lot more now. It's...

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 27 Oct 08

It's so frustrating! I've known a few people like this in my lifetime. They ask for help over and over again for various reasons but, when you try to offer help or advice, they NEVER take it! They will sometimes go so far as to...

What's your vice?

hdjohnson @hdjohnson (2981) • United States 25 Oct 08

Whats your opinion of an only child?

swarovski87 @swarovski87 (328) • Singapore 25 Oct 08
