Do you think spanking children should be banned?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 20 Jan 07

California is apparently considering a bill that would make it illegal to spank children under 3 years old. I'm not sure what to make of it. While I disagree with spanking, and I'm not sure how much of an impression it makes...

A Wonderful Book!!

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 11 Jan 07

I've got roots in the US South, particularly Georgia, and I'm always on the lookout for books about the South. I've just come across a great book of stories written by a woman who grew up in Dalton, Ga. The stories span about...

Any suggestions about cats waking you up at night?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 31 Dec 06

We have a constant problem with our cats, one in particular, waking us up repeatedly in the middle of the night. I know cats are nocturnal, but it's getting out of hand. It's hard to sleep when 16 lbs of cat walks on you, or...

Am I the only person who loves the ocean?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 31 Dec 06

I put "ocean" on my interests list, and I'm all alone over there! Anyone else? If so, do you dive? Snorkel? Wade? Or do you just tan on the beach?

What's the largest ferret you've ever had or heard of?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 31 Dec 06

At a shelter I once saw a 6lb boy. He was amazing! Then I got my baby Leeloo, and I met her daddy. He's HUGE! He's also over 5lbs. Who's the biggest domesticated ferret you've ever seen or had, or even just heard of?

Local Bands?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 27 Dec 06

Does anyone like to go to hear local artists in their area? I do sometimes, and my other half participates in a local band. One problem we have here is too many bands. It seems like all the people who come to hear bands are...

Who do you know with AS or autism?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 27 Dec 06

Do you know someone with Asperger's? Do you have it yourself? I'd like to know -- my father has it. I don't, though I do have a few residual traits. Growing up was... interesting.

Democracy - is it always good?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 27 Dec 06

Here in the US, it is considered un-patriotic to even ask such a question. Yet, I'm asking it anyway, because I am fed up. The philosopher Plato has a scathing critique of democracy in his _Republic_, and John Stuart Mill...

Why?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 26 Dec 06

Okay, this is more a myLot question than a cat question per se, but I can't find a better place to put it, sooo... Why does the interest "cats" keep dropping off? I've had to add it back on three times in the past few...

End Times religious video game

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 24 Dec 06

Do you think a video game about the End Times is appropriate? Should Wal-Mart pull it from its shelves, as several organizations have requested?I think this game should be banned. I found this particularly disturbing: "Battles...

What makes you like the fifth element so much?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 23 Dec 06

One of the things I like most about it is its Pagan theme. Really, I don't think many people realize that it's got such a strong nature-centered theme. For one thing, the four elements correspond to those in Paganism (earth,...

What does the Wiccan Rede really mean to you?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 23 Dec 06

The Rede says, "And it harm none, do what you will." Technically speaking, what this is saying is that "If it harms none, then it is permissible." Logically, taken from just that, something could still be permissible even if it...

Which is better -- first or second trilogy?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 22 Dec 06

Which do you think is better -- the first trilogy with Anakin, or the second trilogy with Luke? I myself would have to say the Luke Skywalker trilogy, Episodes IV, V, and VI are the absolute best hands-down. I was sooo...

Does anyone want a graduate degree? If so, in what?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 22 Dec 06

Do you think a graduate degree would benefit you? If so, in what area? Why? Academic-oriented, so you can teach in college, or business-oriented, such as an MBA?
