morris_minor1958 Wow, I love your swords! The samurai one is my favourite. You are so lucky - the person who gave you that for Xmas must really like you :) I don't own any swords myself - I gave them all away not long ago - but to me the pen is mightier than the sword...

Australia rite now is in its worst drought in recorded history and we the have the water restrictions to prove it. Now the Victorian state government has taken it upon themselves to cut people who they say use too much waters use...

morris_minor1958 They should think about this before it gets to that stage I guess. They're getting fair warning now of the penalties that are involved, and if they continue to waste water then that's their problem. And I think the government will be sensible about the limits...

Isn't it about time that we let this go now? mean fair enough people want to discuss this issue but I think we should now get over it. It's already happened. If we can just get over this then maybe we can get over the whole...

morris_minor1958 Well, yes and no - I mean it only happened a week ago! And it was a pretty politically defining moment, coz now there's a precedent set and the US can feel somewhat justified if they try to do the same thing in the Congo or in North Korea for example. And I...

Why is it I hardly ever get responses. Can anyone help to figure out how to get more, are my posts getting out there? Are they boring. The general discussion button I use alot. Is this the problem? Is there someone out there that...

morris_minor1958 Well it seems to me that the topics that get the most responses are those that are very controversial or that are human interest ones. For example, your posts about your swords are great, but it doesn't prompt people to reply much as they don't feel strongly...

morris_minor1958 Well, I know it's hard to hear this, but I think if he's failing to turn up so many times then he's just not really all that into you, except for when he's bored or needs someone to give him some attention and make him feel good. Believe me, if he really liked...

morris_minor1958 It's so hard to choose one... I'm a bit biased though in that they're usually Paul ones :) Can I choose two? I think Carry that Weight/The End is great - beautiful melody in the beginning and I love the lyric "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the...

morris_minor1958 I've heard of him but never heard his music, although i'm pretty sure I know 'Walking the Dog' thinking about it... But he must be pretty good to be able to play both Elvis and Johnny Cash! Have you seen the Johnny Cash movie 'Walking the Line'? If so, what...

I had posters all over my bedroom walls in the 60s and 70s of Ringo!!! I adored him and dont ask me why... LOL! I had so much Ringo stuff I made my sister (who shared the room) sick!!! You know what? I wish I had 1/4 of that stuff...

morris_minor1958 What a lovely story, and I'm glad that Smokey had so much love after such a shaky start for him. I can understand that you don't want another cat at the moment, but I hope in time you feel able to share your life with another one, not as a replacement for...

Human nature is that people live in a herd. They do things together, watch out for each other and the strongest lead the weaker. So you basically need each other. And we hate being lonely. At least so do I, I love being around...

morris_minor1958 Yeah, being alone is great sometimes, You need time by yourself just to recharge and process the day, and just get back in touch with your own feelings, which sometimes can be subsumed by other people's needs and your responses to them, both good and bad....

How do you feel about people that let their pet cats roam outside. They get into trash and get into fights. They can get hit by a car. What is your feelings about this issue? I will only be rating your answer. Thank you.

morris_minor1958 Cats have to go outside - it's in their nature and it's much too cruel to keep them indoors. But you must make sure they know and are comfortable in their surroundings so that they can return home, and if you're in a residential area you should never lock them...

Do you grab a snack while shopping for groceries? I have occasionally opened a box of crackers and munched on them while shopping. It isn't good practice to shope while you are hungry. It is a proven fact that when you shop...

morris_minor1958 Yeah, I guess it makes sense to do so if you definitely pay for it at the checkout. And it's such a bad idea to shop when you're hungry - I end up buying so much junk food and things I would normally never eat. But I don't think I could open a box of something...

Would you let another shopper go in front of you? I do this quite often. If the person behind you only has a few groceries and my cart is full, I will let them go ahead of me. If the person has children with them and they are...

morris_minor1958 Yes, of course. It's a matter of common courtesy I guess. Honestly, if I'm in a major rush then no, but when I can I will. People do it for me, so it's right to do it for someone else.

morris_minor1958 This is tricky. On one hand it seems morally wrong to tape and watch an execution just for voyeuristic purposes. Then on the other hand, does someone who is so evil that they are given the death penalty deserve the same morals as one would give to someone...

morris_minor1958 At the moment I've just finished the Michael Palin Diary (Monty Python), which was really good and very long -almost 1000 pages- but which probably wouldn't be of much interest to anyone who doesn't know much about comedy at that time (1970s). I received it...
