moonmage Part of me wants to laugh, but the other part knows that there are people who will take advantage of this 'opportunity'. You always see stuff on the news with people marrying inmates while they are in prison. It's sad, really.

I've been thinking lately that it seems like Americans have self-control problems (and I do include myself in this, too). Failed diets, failed marriages, unwanted pregnancy and STDs, even road rage, I think, could be traced to...

moonmage Well, I think self-control or lack thereof is a small part of it. The larger problem is that there's an over abundance of everything. We are genetically made for survival in 'lean times' so now that it's so easy to get anything you want quickly people still...

I was recently shocked to see the advertisements for the Bridge to Terabithia film mostly because of the whole 'fantasy world come to life' flip on it. For those who have actually read the book, you're probably wondering (like me)...

moonmage Exactly, in those cases I can't understand why they didn't give it a new name because it's not the same story.

moonmage In Bridge to Terabithia (the book), one of the main characters commits suicide and the other is left to deal with the grief, so it's a little different than your average coming-of-age story. I would have rather seen Terabithia play out in the character's minds...

moonmage Not at all, we start learning languages very early and that is how we become fluent in our native tongue. The more exposure a person has to another language the better. The earlier a child starts, they more likely they are to pick it up and remember it....

boring and makes him boring??....I think books help to build personalities but all the same, they do make you somewhat bookish and unattractive.

moonmage I think that couldn't be farther from the truth. Reading helps keep your mind sharp, improves your intelligence, and gives you more information. Chances are, avid readers are more active in other activities outside of sitting on the couch reading. Still, I...

moonmage Although we no longer use any of these words actively, the words can still paint the same picture because some part of that imagery has been passed down throughout the generations. I love reading old dictionaries looking for words that aren't used as much any...

Do the questioners who have an avatar posted of a beautiful woman get more responses than those who dont have an avatar? Do pictures of beautiful woman generate more responses?

moonmage Yes, as humans we are more inclined to pay attention to the beautiful people. However, I think that requires everyone to be looking at the avatar first. Me, I just look at subjects that I think I am interested in. However, certain avatars automatically grab...

moonmage I've heard of it and no, it's not 'scientific' as someone else said. The whole purpose of urine is to remove extraneous minerals and vitamins from your body that it doesn't need. Build up of uric acid, a main component in urine, actually leads to health...
