poingly There used to be a dog on my street that the owners regularly let out that would be foaming at the mouth and scary. While you may be a responsible dog owner, others are not. It is not always easy to tell the difference.

$135 dollars for something that used to be free, and for some still is

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 6 Aug 10

Why is it ok for illegal immigrants to cross the border for free but for me its $135? Being back in my home town I was considering going to Canada for a visit. It is something I used to do on a regular basis for my old job. I had...

poingly Keep in mind that Canadians needed a passport to get into America before Americans needed one to get into Canada. In fact, for a while I think an American could enter Canada but needed a passport to get back into America. This is part of the tightening of...

poingly I agree. But there's one third of the population that will tune in or read to get fired up about this, and another third that read it or watch it to gush on (like people gush on celebrity). I hate celebrity personal life news (ie, who is marrying or dating...

Anyone buying this BS that the oil spill is almost over?

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 5 Aug 10

The government and BP are telling us it is almost over. The worst oil spill in history. And they are saying it is almost already cleaned up. When their efforts in the clean up have not been that big and have not been going on long...

poingly I think it depends on the definition of "almost" and "over." If by over they mean oil gushing out of the busted well. Then, yes, sure, almost over. However, for those people that have to experience the effects of this spill, it's far from over. I think BP...

Are all religions equally true?

headhunter525 @headhunter525 (3548) • India 6 Aug 10

I am not asking which is good or bad/ better or worse. But I keep hearing that all religions are true. But I can't understand how a religion that denies God's existence can be as true as a religion that affirms God's existence....

What TV show do you wish was never cancelled?

Hoshi_Reed @Hoshi_Reed (257) • Brazil 28 Jul 10

A TV show's life span in dependent on the ratings and the network it is on, and on occasion what the network execs think it's potential is. It never has anything to do with fans or even plot. I of course I am a Browncoat so...

Why force others to believe what you believe?

silvercoin @silvercoin (2101) • Lithuania 28 Jul 10

poingly Usually I respond to people with interesting questions about their beliefs. I am often truly curious about what they believe. My own personal beliefs are that everyone has the right to believe what they want, but there also needs to have respect for other's.

A relationship with given terms, is that a real love?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 18 Jul 10

A friend of mine just got married, I certainly congratulate him. But the unheard story about it is that he was given terms by his wife in advance, so she married him. I knew he wanted to marry this girl so bad, but marriage with...

poingly That seems like perfectly reasonable request before getting married. Having a certain amount of financial security and independence is one of those things that's just sort of required to make it work. I think not living with one's parents is a reasonable...

Which is more important, the national debt or the unemployment problem?

kolsti87 @kolsti87 (521) • United States 13 Jul 10

Unemployment is over 10% (reportedly, meaning more than likely it is worse) in many parts of the country. After unemployment benefits were cut by the Republicans (and a few democrats), the lack of money for the people who would be...
