stanleyws Yeah - no kidding. Talk about validating stereotypes and trying to pigeon-hole people! If I "acted my age" according to statistical norms, I'd probably be spending way too much money on Budweiser, scratching myself in places unmentionable and belching as...

You myLot Republicans are a bunch of SORE LOSERS...you LOST...get over it!

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 24 Apr 09

Now that I have your attention, let me continue. I'm not a democrat although I think I'm pretty close to becoming one. You know why? Because of the behavior I've seen here from the Republicans. That might not be a "good" reason...

stanleyws I am hesitant to presume yet that the pendulum has swung here on myLot, but the rhetorical tactics to which you refer are (or were, hope hope!) just the tip of the iceberg. During the last administration, liberals routinely has their myLot accounts...

Why is NO ONE Talking About Obama's Birth Certificate?

shewolf52002 @shewolf52002 (1214) • United States 2 Jan 09

Okay before we begin can we take a close look at the facts and not call anyone a racist bigot? I have no racist tendencies whatsoever! In fact two of my nephews are biracial and I love them dearly. Now that my motives are...

Which Part of the Brain is Dominant for You?

margaux08 @margaux08 (1094) • Philippines 2 Jan 09

If you could change ONE thing....

DJ_Slone @DJ_Slone (62) • United States 2 Jan 09

So, God comes down...or up... or from His/Her/Its realm of living and gives you the choice to change one thing in all of your reality. What would it be?

stanleyws This one is *easy*. I would have God "heal" me of my incessant anxiety and the confusion in my life from being extremely literal and completely stupid visually and non-verbally. What tall order - whuddaya mean, tall order?! ;)

Has anyone ever been suspended from MyLot?

sanjanaraman @sanjanaraman (237) • United Arab Emirates 31 Dec 08

Has anyone ever been suspended from MyLot? Do they suspend for small things? If you have ever gotten suspended before, did MyLot refresh your earnings when you started again?

stanleyws Weeeellll.....first of all, the culture is very exclusive. They can and will suspend you for any reason, or none at all. And "suspended" means gone - "deactivated". The terms are unclear. And that is quite deliberate.
