Schnorrawaggle the best way to learn English is to go live for a long period in an English speaking country. The more time you spend there, the better your English will get.

I'm guilty of being a feline racist.

zionsphere @zionsphere (673) • United States 30 Aug 10

I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to be very picky about the breed of cat that I'm willing to own. Siamese cats are to loud, brown tabbies are to spastic, Persians shed too much, and so on. I really love orange or silver...

Schnorrawaggle I love my long haired ginger cat, he's gorgeous. It's hard to say what it is about a cat in general I like. There's just something about their faces that I click with or don't click with. I don't really like breeds, I usually end up with strays and cats...

Schnorrawaggle I think their food is nasty, it's full of chemicals, the meat comes from farm factories where animals suffer a great deal and are fed growth hormones, anti-biotics, and probably other cow's parts. and if you eat that food you will get sick from it....

Have you started getting Christmas cards yet? Do you send any out?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 30 Nov 07

Most of the people who live in my apartment building slip cards under our doors for the holidays and I already have 5. I also have one that my Aunt sent to me and she's always the first one I know to start sending them out. I sent...

Schnorrawaggle Most cards these days just say Merry Xmas and not much else, very impersonal in my view. So mostly it's a waste of resources and as an environmentalist I can't see a reason to send out all those paper cards. I'd rather email my friends this time of year,...

Schnorrawaggle With all the pets that are killed in shelters each year, I think that these people could find other dogs to place in homes and stop worrying about this one, which already found a home. I doubt Ellen would have given the dog to the family if she hand't thought...

Schnorrawaggle it is murder. people assume they are more precious than animals, that their live is of more importance than that of other beings. It says in the bible Thou shalt not kill, there are not exceptions. God didn't say, oh but it's okay to kill animals, oh and...

Ecover will be tested on animals from now on.

Galena @Galena (9110) 6 Aug 07

http://www.ecover.com/gb/en/News/Details.htm?ID=147 this is a company usually chosen by consumers wishing to avoid cleaning products tested on animals. so just thought this ought to be brought to peoples attention.

Schnorrawaggle I think it's easy to pick on PETA, if one can find flaw with PETA then one is justified in doing nothing to help solve the problem of too many cats and dogs in the country. It gives people an excuse not to have to be responsible.

Schnorrawaggle There are judges in our courts who get paid lots of money to judge. You look at the facts and then judge based on those facts. Sure I think that some Muslims are extremists, the Chinese don't care about the environment, Germans are snooty. Meat eaters are...

Global warming

sigma77 @sigma77 (5383) • United States 2 Mar 07

What do you think of Plastic Surgery?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 23 Jun 07

There is always a great debate on plastic surgery. Some people defend it saying that if they feel better with bigger breasts or straighter skin, why not doing so. Others consider that it's shallow to think like that, and prefer...
