Women always love fashion and shopping.

Polang @tkonlinevn (6438) • Vietnam 10 Feb 12

Women always love fashion and shopping. When I was a teenager, I would react strongly if someone said this. Since I do not like! Meanwhile, I just love learning and love of scientific research. Now, I got bigger, and was...

prettyruby I think it's partially biological and partially environmental - after all, there are a LOT of guys who do like fashion and shopping, but not as many as girls. I think that may have a lot to do with advertising and social acceptability - Hong Kong, Japanese,...

prettyruby I think the two extremes are what causes a great deal of crimes. One extreme is financial scarcity - people can't get enough to provide a comfortable living for themselves or their families and then commit crimes to get money in order to do so. Another is love...

Do you savor and feel each bite of your food...?

pepai123456 @pepai123456 (879) • Philippines 11 Feb 12

prettyruby haha, I'm the opposite. I only really savor every bite when I eat by myself and there's no other distractions (including friends, TV, cell phone, etc.). Otherwise, I get distracted by talking with friends or watching TV and I don't really notice what I'm...

prettyruby Although I am in a relationship right now, I'm pretty similar to shibham. I don't worry about it when I'm single, whether or not it's Valentine's Day. If I'm single on Valentine's Day, I just go and hang out with my single girlfriends. If I'm not, then I go on...

prettyruby Good to know - I didn't know that this could happen. However, I try to use headsets to prevent cell phone radiation from entering my brain and causing brain cancer. I don't think the radiation is THAT dangerous for adults, but it's better to be safe!

clouds0327 @clouds0327 (1389) • Philippines 9 Feb 12

I am beginning to hate Facebook now. I don't like the layout anymore. The timeline doesn't look organized for me. I don't like it. You don't know where to look first because there is left and right column. Facebook showed me how...

prettyruby I agree - I like the concept of Timeline, but it is SO completely disorganized. It's hard to find or read things on it :( They should come out with an update soon that makes it easier to read.

prettyruby I agree - I thought this was mainly an American problem! enelym001 is right - a lot of student-teacher violence has to do with a lack of respect for authority that ought to have been instilled in the student by their parents.

Have you ever dreamed of creating your own website? Or do you already have one?

wittynet @wittynet (4421) • Philippines 11 Jan 12

prettyruby There are definitely some websites that provide free web hosting, but you'll have ads displayed by the company on your website. Think about what you want your website to be about - maybe it would be better as a blog. There are a LOT of free blogging websites...

prettyruby I agree - I'm usually doing other things while I'm watching TV. However, if I have friends over or there is a show that I really like to watch, I will just sit down and focus on watching it.
