You can't suggest your own discussions now

DnkH @DnkHrth (268) • Sri Lanka 22 Oct 15

You can't suggest your own discussions but you can suggest discussions made by others, to anyone. I have never used it anyway. I think that is a good idea. I think 'being suggested' is something a discussion should earn. What...

***Administrative Advisement*** Re: suggestion feature decision

Go Ask Alice / Admin @GoAskAlice (5827) 21 Oct 15

After 24 hours and nearly 100 replies, my post regarding the altering of the suggestion feature has run it's course. As I'm sure you are now aware, it is no longer up. While the feed back was great, I was a little surprised at the...

Tony Lawrence I think that's a wise move. Honestly, I was surprised that it was not that way when I joined.

Having respect for people whose politics are very different from your own

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 20 Oct 15

I am currently having a real problem on another site with somebody who has very Conservative political views, whereas mine are far more liberal on most matters. The problem derives from the fact that they have absolutely no...

Tony Lawrence I don't have any problem when the conservative is arguing intelligently. I can talk to them and even agree with them now and then. When it's just ignorant nonsense, I find it much harder to have that respect. Recently I had a neighbor actually scream at me...

Not the best way to confirm an appointment

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 19 Oct 15

Today I received a telephone call from the Royal Eye Hospital to confirm that I was to attend my appointment for next Monday. This seems a practical thing for them to do rather than risk having an appointment time wasted by...

Were there any subjects at school that you really wish you could start all over again?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 19 Oct 15

We all went through school being better at some things than others. I can think of some subjects that I made a complete hash of to start with and never really got to grips with. French was always a struggle for me, although...

Tony Lawrence Well, I took Calculus in High School but only one year and have never used it so forgot everything - heck, it was fifty years ago! Recently I decided to try a book to see what I could learn. I think I shut it after a dozen pages or so. I couldn't make heads...

Which hand do you hold your fork in, and which way up?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 19 Oct 15

There is a report in today's London Times that more British people are switching to the American custom of cutting up their food first then using their fork in the right hand with the tines facing up. I have seen this done in...

Tony Lawrence Facing up, but I'm apt to use either hand. I'm not generally ambidextrous except with my fork.

Alfredo Rossi @amadeo (111938) • United States 18 Oct 15

Have the topping got out of control.All the stuff that people put on their pizza. Do they need all of this. My favorite is tomato and cheese and that it is. Why do we need a ton of food on the topping.? According to consumer that...

Tony Lawrence I really like Pineapple and Ham but will eat just about anything but anchovies. The pizza place we go to uses cheddar cheese in the mix, which makes for a very different experience that you either love or detest. Our children love it; their husbands not so...

One world government and your money

peavey @peavey (16936) • United States 18 Oct 15

American Politics - It Is So Exciting!

julito @antonbunot (11093) • Calgary, Alberta 14 Oct 15

I am a Canadian. I find American politics much more exciting. Everyday I watch CNNnews and read Yahoo for the latest news on American politics. Canadian politics is not very interesting for me. The presidential campaign this year...

Heartburn

Sherrye Barrow @sherryeb (580) • Duncan, Arizona 19 Oct 15

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on naturally relieving heartburn. I have been eating soda crackers, but it is not doing the trick. There are no stores open here on a Sunday night. Maybe, something from the kitchen I can...

Should Megachurches Be Taxed?

Four Walls @FourWalls (69101) • United States 17 Oct 15

I noticed that televangelists are making tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars every year. I also noted that they aren't exactly clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, and sheltering the homeless as the...

Tony Lawrence Yes, I think any church should be taxed, but I think there should be a big fat minimum so that the ordinary ones pay nothing and only the ridiculous ones have to fork it over.

Should your marriage choice be based on friendship?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 16 Oct 15

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 16 Oct 15
