blood diamond

msqtech @msqtech (15073) • United States 12 Dec 06

I wonder what you all think about a diamond boycott to stop some of the horror in Africa I think if all women and men refused to accept diamond gifts then the diamond industry would have to clean up their act and get serious...

ravyn1725 I think that a boycott might help, but the reality is, the people who buy the largest number of diamonds on a regular basis are not going to participate in the boycott. As long as a diamond means forever, it'll be hard to convince people that they shouldn't...

My mom hates that I have dogs. Just looking for thoughts on this.

vokey9472 @vokey9472 (1486) • United States 15 Feb 07

My mom and I have been at war over my dogs since the day I got them. I moved out of my mother's house and into my own apartment BEFORE I even thought about getting a dog. After my boyfriend (now husband) and I got settled into the...

ravyn1725 It's obvious that you and your husband and children love animals--that's awesome! I can somewhat sympathize with you on mom not liking pets: After I moved out, my boyfriend got me a ferret (I fell in love with his two and just had to have my own little fuzzy!)...

do you have "security blankets"?

fujin1985 @fujin1985 (684) • Philippines 11 Feb 07

I've had several security blankets, from stuffed toys to other things, but I haven't got one that's constantly been with me to turn on for security. How 'bout you?

ravyn1725 I would try to defend myself by saying that I'm too adult to have a "bwankie," but the truth is that I sleep with a teddy bear ::big guilty grin:: I slept with the same teddy bear for 18 years (yes, he looked pretty shabby--I still have him) until my boyfriend...

Do you think the harry potter movies will reach a "R" rating?

nikkilanger @nikkilanger (52) • United States 10 Feb 07

Well lets see, the first, second, and third were all PG. I know there was some uncertainty about the 3rd one being PG-13 or not but they did PG nayway. Now the 4th "Goblet of Fire" is PG-13 and i know "order of the pheonix" will...

Do you have a biting ferret?

ravyn1725 Try pinning her on her back (like another ferret would) to show dominance when she bites--NEVER let her just get away with it. Most likely she's just trying to play with you; she doesn't know that human skin is much more tender than ferret skin. If she bites a...

SageMother @SageMother (2277) • United States 10 Feb 07

17-yr olds shoot and kill horses. Should they be tried as adults?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 10 Feb 07

My community is reeling in shock. Two boys, aged 17, drove to a reclaimed mine site and shot 40-50 shots at a herd of horses who were grazing on grass. Three horses were killed and several others wounded. The killed horses were...

ravyn1725 Could it be possible that the pumpkins weren't the reason for the divorce, but rather the question of where the extra money the wife was supposed to be spending on courgettes went? I agree, this is bizarre...fascinating, but admittedly odd. Pumpkins are pretty...
