nicoffeine Well, you do have a point about the parents... Although my point there was not necessarily helping out with the homework and such, rather to motivate their kids to learn more and support them if the kid finds a specific area of interest. My parents married...

nicoffeine I agree. Individually, the members are awesome, but the band is just good. This is a good example of the whole not being the least bit equal to the sum of its parts. The impact of Audioslave to music doesn't even come close to what Soundgarden and RATM did....

nicoffeine Oh man. Educator's incompetence... I don't think it's that, it's part of it but its not like it's the sole reason. There are a lot of great teachers out there among the whole lot of educators in the country... But that whole lot? Not that big. Teaching doesn't...

Who is your favorite fashion designer?

mixey62 @mixey62 (305) • United States 11 Feb 07

Mine is Marc Jacobs! I absolutely love his cool retro looks and unfussy details. It's like fashion for "cool kids". He also makes a cheaper lable (Marc for Marc Jacobs) that is more affordable for the likes of me. I love the...

nicoffeine I haven't seen the Macy's line but I've seen and loved the Nine West! I'm strange in a way that I won't splurge for clothes but when it comes to shoes, I indulge. Too bad I couldn't get it where I'm at, but I'm still hoping! I really like being a DIY-er. I...

nicoffeine I agree about Hendrix. But though he may be overrated, what he was was a consummate guitar player. What he lacked in skills, he made up for with fire (not the burning guitar kind) in his performances. Of all the greater skilled and better composers out there,...

nicoffeine True! Although the premium on the English language doesn't necessarily make Ateneans good at debates. It just makes them... better at English. Heh. When it comes to raw and original ideas, I think UP, in general, is better. Ateneans are better when it comes...

nicoffeine Baguio, just because it's higher up. Oh! A con pala about Baguio is that the city's center gets congested and polluted especially during summer when there are lots of tourists. If you're planning to go to Baguio, try the non peak months. And bring a thick...

What's your fav song from the Scissor Sisters?

lucy6ofdiamonds @lucy6ofdiamonds (70) • Malaysia 5 Dec 06

nicoffeine Scissor sisters is a lesbian mating position, I believe... I really like I Can't Decide from the new album. Also Can't Come Quickly Enough from the self-titled one. And Ooh also from the demo.
