sweeneyallanburton I tend to read more extensively than intensively, considering I do not study a lot as of late. However, I do understand that to truly absorb information I must read intensively. One can learn more by truly paying attention to one book than by halfheartedly...

Are you tired of doing the same things every day?

vermouth0304 @vermouth0304 (56) • China 24 Nov 08

There are too many things duplicate in our life. Every day we get up at the same time, eat same breakfast, walk on the same street. We take the same buses, arrive at school or office at the same time, do almost same works say...

sweeneyallanburton I think about this often. I wake up every morning to do the same things I did yesterday. It's like some strange and boring ritual. I do many things (by habit) in the same order, I never get a different result from them - so why? I don't have a job at the...

Do you share your computer?

missybear @missybear (11391) • United States 24 Nov 08

Me and my honey share a computer, so we take turns. Sometimes the stupid thing signs me out and then i'm putting a discussion in his name. I wrote this good discussion and wondered why nobody responded. Then when he checked his...

sweeneyallanburton I used to share a family computer and occasionally have similar issues, but now I use my laptop and don't let anyone else use it for similar reasons. It makes things less complicated, at least regarding computer usage, if we aren't sharing the computer.

aprilten @aprilten (1966) • Philippines 18 Nov 08

Are you into pop? Or is it rock? So what type of music do you prefer listening to?

sweeneyallanburton I like all kinds of music, really. I tend to prefer certain genres over others in spurts. Lately I'm very into classical, but I also enjoy and often listen to rock (mostly rock pre-1990s), some pop, funk, R&B, and alternative or punk in some instances.

Do you think music causes violence?

Bobbi1971 @Bobbi1971 (42) • United States 18 Nov 08

I hear time and time again that kids are killing people because of the music that they listen to. I think that that is totally ridiculous. Kids are turning to violence because they lack structure and stability in their life. I...

sweeneyallanburton I agree with you that the music is not to blame. I think people don't want to blame children because they don't want to believe children could do such awful things to someone else. So instead of blaming the child (or the parents where the blame should be...

sweeneyallanburton I always dust first, then use the vacuum. If the dust falls, then vacuuming before dusting would have been a fruitless task indeed. It just makes more sense to let the dust fall to the floor without care, then vacuum it all up afterward. Regarding what I...

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 18 Nov 08

sweeneyallanburton It's the caffeine in coffee that keeps you from sleeping at night - I use it to wake up in the morning for that very reason. It stimulates the same part of your brain that (I believe I read it was) the drug heroin does, and can have similar effects regarding...
