Do your children spend too much time in front of the TV? A survey of primary school-age children has found that kids spend more of their free time sitting in front of the TV than with their parents. Children would rather...

soulsister_16 I strongly agree with what you said - true enough children watch too much TV because they find the shows interesting. But then again, what children find interesting today may be vastly different from what we used to find entertaining. Also, kids are not...

soulsister_16 That's good news then. :) I agree with you, as children cannot decide for themselves and their knowledge and understanding is too limited to understand why there has to be a limit not only in watching TV but in other things as well. ALl other parents...

soulsister_16 You're right. It's not just TV watching; sometimes a kid and sometime even adults, stay up late every night just spending supposed-to-be sleep time on switching channels on telly. Doesn't make sense, does it? And if I may add to that, our kids will turn...

The amount of time children spend watching television should be rationed to prevent health and learning problems, an expert is to tell MPs. Professor Aric Sigman wants to ban 3 year olds from watching any television. He said...

soulsister_16 I agree with you. Instead of letting the children watch kiddie shows on the television, I think it is much safer to let then watch educational DVDs instead. After all, it is not just the television shows that may not be suitable for the young audience but the...

soulsister_16 You made a very good point. If parents do not watch much television themselves then their children are less likely to be addicted to television. Children tend to follow by example and it is very important for them to see that there is a reason why TV time is...

soulsister_16 Good point you've got there. I think one of the reasons why kids tend to watch too much TV is because they haven't got anything else to do. Now, if like your daughter, other children would be exposed to sports, arts, crafts, reading, etc. then there's no way...

Why are record numbers seeking advice on the issue? The number of people seeking advice on how to meet their debts has hit record levels, the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) has warned. CAB said the figures illustrated how...

soulsister_16 I agree with you. Perhaps that is the golden rule to avoiding debts. It is easier to prevent debts, by being level-headed about purchases and spendings, than getting your way out of a web of debts. I have a tendency of saving up a certain amount of money only...

soulsister_16 I agree with you. For instance, a student who attends university at 18 will have to repay his/her student loans well into his/her 30s. That doesn't feel good, I know, but at least it's some sort of a 'good' debt like you've said. Besides, the fact that you...

soulsister_16 Just a piece of advice, mate, you cannot rely solely on online money-making sites. I mean, no matter how good 'clicking ads / reading e-mails / participating in discussions and earning at the same time' sound, it is still not a substitute for a proper...

Paris Hilton is feeling so left out of Hollywood's baby boom, she's plans to travel the globe and upstage pregnant pal, Nicole Richie, by adopting four blonde girls. A source said: 'Paris has been saying, ''You don't need a...

soulsister_16 I agree with you. Motherhood entails selfless love which means that if Paris Hilton is to become a responsible and loving mother, she has to lie low a bit, depart from her wild partying ways, and maybe stay away from all the papparazzi. Which must be really...

soulsister_16 Good idea you have there! Maybe she can just get 4 puppies, she should be able enough to take of them or is she? She used to bring her little Tinkerbell whenever she goes out. I wonder if the poor puppy is still alive.

soulsister_16 Well, I never found her pretty nor glamorous and not at all fashionable. She just happened to be rich, that's all. I mean, does anyone really know why Paris Hilton is famous? I know I don't. Good thing she didn't carry on with her singing career or does she...

soulsister_16 I agree with you. If this rumor turns out to be true, I just hope that the kids will make her a better person and that she'll be able to raise them well. You're right, we don't need another four more Paris.

soulsister_16 It might be true. Who knows? Did you really join a writing contest? I rarely remember my dreams, too, so when I do, I make it a point to tell people what I dreamed about like today, I shared it on MyLot.

1. I'm a vegetarian. It's not supposed to be a weird thing; a large proportion of people here in Britain are vegetarians. Apparently, some of my friends find it weird, esp. when we go to fastfood chains and it's a toss between...

soulsister_16 Don't worry, you're not the only one with a poor sense of direction. But this baffles me, why are you not using your new car as much and choose to take the bus instead? The buses here in my place are very unreliable as they rarely follow their schedules. Well,...

This is something which intrigues me greatly. In my opinion, if you were born without all five senses, you wouldn't know that you are alive. Without prior experience of sight, hearing, etc. you wouldn't be able to have any...

soulsister_16 What do you mean exactly by "before you were born" - before you were brought into this world, i.e. you are still in your mother's womb or way, way before you were conceived? If it's the former, I'd say you are still alive (which is why I am against abortion...

soulsister_16 Thank you for your response. So, if your dreams consist of your past, does it mean that you can see in your dreams what could have happened if that which you wanted pushed through? I agree, I really exert effort just to remember some bits of my dream. About...
