Do you try to buy "Made In Your Country" items?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 23 Mar 07

Being an American I have found that we are often ignorant as to where an item is made. We ignore the "Made In" label until AFTER it's been purchased, or sometimes don't notice at all. No matter what country you are from, I...

prisidio I attempt to try and purchase products based in western countries because I am more assured that the particular company producing the product is doing so under adequate national laws which emphasize employee rights. However, it is increasingly more difficult...

prisidio One of the most ironic facets of this issue is that while people say how government should get more involved with big business decisions, they are the ones bringing in legislation which gives more powers to big business. Most of the major economic...

berryappleberry @berryappleberry (548) • Philippines 20 Mar 07

I get annoyed most of the time and hate walking along street of Metro Manila because of nasty odors of urine especially on sites with posts. Are you too? Am I not the only one who experienced such thing? Lots of men pee on the...

prisidio I usually turn on the TV as soon as I wake up, so I can just lye there and watch some television before getting up to take a shower and get dressed. I find watching TV helps me wake up and become more aware so I don't forget anything before I head downstairs...

Please be honest.. Which is important, looks or personality?

power_earner @power_earner (14) • Philippines 20 Mar 07

prisidio I'd like someone who has a good personality, preferably someone who has a good sense of humour. In terms of looks, I can't be too choosy since I'm definitely no prince charming, but as long as they have average looks (everything is in the right place) I'm fine...

Do you think that parents should home school students with special needs?

gapeach65 @gapeach65 (805) • United States 20 Mar 07

I have a concern about children who are home schooled. If a child has special needs, such as dyslexia, or any other learning disability, do you think that a parent without any training should home school their children? This is...

The age you look

engineous @engineous (396) • Australia 20 Mar 07

prisidio I haven't been to a movie theatre in about 10 months or so, when XMEN 3 first came out. That note aside, the last movie I watched was "Crank" starring Jason Statham. It was one of the most oddest movies I had ever seen, and probably among the worse. It...

prisidio I've been fortunate enough to always have a TV in my room, but I find that in the past say 2-3 years I've sort of moved away from it and spend a lot more time on the computer. I know a lot of people who throughout their life have been raised with the notion...

Budget surplus

bjone6 @bjone6 (348) • United States 12 Mar 07

prisidio Canada has a budget surplus, and for the most part, the government has focused more on using the money to pay down the national debt instead of investing in new social programs. While I understand the economic sense it makes, it's a shame our government is not...
