Why is friendship so difficult?

dloveli @dloveli (4366) • United States 27 Feb 13

I have had many friendships over the years and I must admit that 90% of them were HORRENDOUS! I'm not blaming it on them only. I definitely have my moments. I never ask anyone to help me without being able to do something for...

RobtheRock I think its the times. People are way more selfish and into themselves than they used to be although I remember the grownup spats my grandmother had with some of her friends. Surprisingly, there were some friends I never saw her get into an argument with....

RobtheRock If push comes to shove, do some substitute teaching. Depending on your state, the best place to substitute is grade school. When I lived in Pittsburgh and Ann Arbor, I substituted in grade school, middle school, and high school and to me, grade school was the...

Do you feel chicken out to slaughter a chicken?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 19 Jan 13

In every part of the world, they do have preferences or a definite practice to slaughter a chicken. I don't have the guts to do it, the manner of taking the lives of broilers having cluck sound in the yard. I do prefer to buy from...

RobtheRock When I was young, my grandmother used to take me to Pennsylvania where her twin brother had a farm. So I saw them cut the chicken's head off. No, I couldn't do that.

Marrying the whole family is being with your partner forever.

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 18 Jan 13

In the Philippines, it is our culture to marry the person you love and his or her family. That's the tradition that can never be broken. If there are some issues that needed to be resolved, the whole family should be informed....

RobtheRock That would be hard for me to handle, although, I like the idea. It seems like there is less selfishness there as compared to here.

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 11 Jan 13

RobtheRock I say not to do it, since you don't know what the spirits are and thus you wouldn't know where to go for help, if attacked by these spirits.

The media warn the people not to use fire crackers in the Philippines, to prevent possible injuries, probability of having fire and hazard to health. In the family, we still continue the old-type canon. Though we changed the...

RobtheRock Happy 2013, Shavkat! The authorities mostly use fireworks on New Years. One reason might be because it's too cold outside. People shoot guns here. Most of my life, I've heard people shooting guns up into the air on New Years night. I've never done it. I'm...

How playful are you?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 29 Dec 12

I can still remember one of my friends. He used to play the love towards women. There are so many instances that he encouraged the same thing, but I can't do it. I believe in karma and I don't want that the women attached to my...

RobtheRock I do not believe in playing with women's feelings either. I am a nice guy though and sometimes I am playful. I had a friend who told this woman I loved her. I was very friendly and then saw that she was serious. When I told her I wasn't in love with her, she...

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 29 Dec 12

Is it true that if a child or students in College cannot cope up in their studies, is a sign of having learning disability? Fast learners used to bully these people. We can't deny that, since in the class it reflects the...

RobtheRock No, slow learner is not necessarily imply a sign of "learning disability." In college there are those who are very fast learners, fast learners, and slow learners. Then there are the ones who might have a learning disability.

Soul Biters: Can you be more patient?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 27 Dec 12

Personally speaking, I don't like being humiliated in front of all the people. I would rather accept it if that person will confront me privately. Some people like doing this. Can you deal with it?

19 responses

RobtheRock I don't let anyone humiliate me in front of others. It happened once, years ago when I first started teaching. I admit, I was keeping my class too long. So the teacher who had most of my students after my class, came in and told me off in front of the class. I...

Do you promise, but meant to be broken?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 27 Dec 12

For some reason, we make promises but it didn't happen. Is it bad to broke that promises? What will be the reaction of the people you had promised?

RobtheRock When I make a promise, I intend to keep it. That's the same to me as lying and I hate lying. When I can't keep a promise, I tell them before the time to keep the promise. But people don't do that for me. They make a promise, I wait, and nothing happens.

RobtheRock I agree with Kokomo. You keep both. Your BFF is your friend for life. They don't have to be your BF's BF. It also depends on what the argument is about. You just keep them apart. Your BFF might get jealous that you are with your BF all the time, but as you get...

The dog became 50-50 specie...why?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 16 Dec 12

In some country, they do breed the dog. Take note, it is a cross-breeding. Are you aware of this? If you do, why do they need to change the purely blooded specie to another type of dogs. I had seen some dogs that are half-breed...

RobtheRock Yes, I've know how they do this. It's like taking a bull dog and breeding it with a terrier to make a Pit bull. Be it plants or animals, they cross breed to make stronger plants and animals. I have no problem with it.
