Who is your favorite book and novel author?

Ramaditya @Ramaditya (1227) • Indonesia 13 Sep 10

Just like artist and celebrity, book readers also fall in love with their favorite authors. As for me, I love Dale Carnegie's works (motivational books), and a bunch of epic novel authors (JRR Tolkien, Tracy Hickman, Margaret...

pillusch I distingish between two types of literature. The one that tells us you how life and people should be. So in your list that would be Dale Carnegie and all other authors that deal with personal development, spirituality, etc. My absolute favorite is M. Scott...

pillusch There is a good point embedded in your question. I believe to practice faith, any faith, should be a daily activity, your life should be immersed in it. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense to me. I had some phases in my life where I was very religious, but...

pillusch I would definitely advise against installing this and any other apllication. It's just a matter of principle, I don't let nobody into my PC, the idea just seems ludicrous to me. And the money that's offered is not even a practical joke.... I do the same on...

Write How You Speak

T_Diamond @T_Diamond (965) • New Zealand 4 Sep 10

When I first began writing articles, the way I presented them, felt very stiff. Almost too formal. If I spoke, exactly how I wrote - you'd think I come from Mars. Then a friend of mine told me, why don't you just write the same...

pillusch First of all, I agree on your basic point, write as you would talk. However, there is one difference, T_Diamond. First of all, when I talk it's usually in a conversation, unless you have prepared a speech. So my line of thinking, and therefore the point I want...

Photos as we age

JodiLynn @JodiLynn (1417) • United States 24 Sep 09

As a kid, many of us were always mugging for the cameras in the events of our lives. Graduation, Prom, Home coming, 1st car, 1st place in the county fair, WHATEVER, we loved hamming it up in front of that lens! Now...

pillusch The way technology has gone, what with cellphones nowadays making the photos, or even the video, it has taken the enchantment out of the whole process, I believe. When I was young (5 years ago) it was an EVENT having your photo taken, something special. But...

Have you ever stolen 'anything' from anybody?

patofgold23 @patofgold23 (5069) • Philippines 27 Jul 09

I don't know if I'm wrong, but I guess all of us, at one point in our lives or another, have taken something that doesn't belong to us... maybe a few buck from our dad's pocket while he was sleeping, when you were a kid.... or a...

jodylee_04530 @jodylee_04530 (1097) • United States 29 Sep 09

I just learned about the young boy that was killed in Chicago. Someone actually videotaped the event happening. Apparently he was not affiliated with any gangs but he had his life taken by one. In the video there are a lot of cars...

pillusch I think it's impossible to predict how you or I (or anybody else for that matter) would react in a situation like that. I started a discussion a couple of days back, where I talked about a 50 year old man being beaten to death (in München, Germany), because he...

How much time will you spend writing something if you know the pay is minimal?

vivasuzi @vivasuzi (4127) • United States 24 Sep 09

Background: I write articles at a blog site where we get paid based on hits and a few other criteria. Since my category is about TV shows, I write as I watch and usually post within minutes after the show finishes. This means it...

pillusch If it would be JUST for the pay, no, I wouldn't do it any more. I made about $ 15 a day 3 years back for writing three short articles, but since I was new at that, it took me all day. Writing just for the money, no way. But how about branding yourself? For...

Are you patient enough to read a long discussion?

lucy67 @lucy67 (819) • China 25 Sep 09

raphael_volts @raphael_volts (1131) • India 24 Sep 09

To church? or not to church? That is the question!

My husband and I have very similar religious views... We both don't know if there is a God and we both don't want to be a member of a church. We feel this way for two separate reasons. My husband feels that religion breeds a lot...

Lies, lies, lie... tell me sweet little lies!

jodylee_04530 @jodylee_04530 (1097) • United States 10 Sep 09

In my job, I hear a lot of lies. Good lies, bad lies, in between lies, white lies, scary lies, unbelievable lies. It is amazing the things people will say. I, personally, am not a good liar. I lied to my parents some and didn't...

pillusch I've gone so far that I'm teaching my boys how to lie. Sooner or later they wake up to that generalized hypocrasy, thou shalt not lie, anyway. So I just talked to them, talked like you did in your post, about black lies, grey lies, etc. I told them that I tell...

Decriminalization of marijuana

jodylee_04530 @jodylee_04530 (1097) • United States 24 Sep 09

My state just decriminalized marijuana! Is this a step to legalizing and taxing the cash crop? I think it would be a huge boost to our financial crisis in the state to start taxing it. I know that many people make a living with...

pillusch I love to smoke dope, and I do it every day, (after I finish with work, that is.) I've been smoking it for 30 years, and it felt just absurd it being illegal, no matter where (and I've smoked it everywhere) I lived. Now, Mexico just decriminalized drugs, so...
