Would you date an inmate?

Thomas73 @Thomas73 (1467) • Switzerland 13 Feb 07

If you like muscular torsos, crew cuts and tattoos, and still haven't got a date for Valentine's Day, go and check out www.hotprisonpals.com. Some of America's most desirable felons are lining up to send you love letters, poems...

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.

Do we suffer from a lack of self-control?

kesfylstra @kesfylstra (1868) • United States 13 Feb 07

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...

Are 2YOs too young to learn a second language

mipen2006 @mipen2006 (5528) • Australia 11 Feb 07

I have a friend whose three year old son speaks English and Thai as well as any child the same age. Admittedly, his mother is Thai and his father Australian. The point is he has no difficulty simply translating to either parent if...

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...

avatar beauty

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...

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13139) • United States 11 Feb 07

cajundharma @cajundharma (641) • United States 11 Feb 07

I absolutely hated the book Catcher in the Rye. I don't understand why it's a classic. I thought it was inane and there was nothing rebellious or interesting about Holden Caulfield. He was a brat! Now it's your turn; tell me what...

moonmage Yes, that was most definitely not worthy of being heralded as a literary classic. It was vomitted out over the course of a month if I remember correctly. Bridges of Madison County was another book written in a short amount of time with no editing that also...

moonmage I disagree, I still prefer to sit and watch TV, films, etc. away from the computer. I still buy CDs but I have the option to buy a single song now if I don't like all or most of the songs on the CD. I don't believe our entire lives will ever be conducted...
