In your opinion/experience who is more likely to cheat on a significant other men or women? Which is more likely to have a full blown affair rather than a dalliance or an "arrangement"? Who is more promiscuous homosexual or...

thefreemind As stated above, there will always be cheaters in both genders. I've never cheated on anyone, whereas nearly all of my ex girlfriends have cheated on me. I'm convinced there are some decent women out there somewhere, though. :)

thefreemind I think marriage is a pointless insitution, so I would choose career. But there's no reason why two people who love each other can't cohabit for life without marrying. If they both have careers, too, then that's the problem solved. :)

thefreemind Ice-caps melting, sea levels rising, carbon dioxide levels increasing, thus causing temperature to increase even further. Of course we don't know whether global warming is influenced by man or whether the Earth is on a natural cycle of heating/cooling...

Handwriting analysis

ruby222 @ruby222 (4847) 31 Jul 08

I think that its fascinating,that someone can look at your handwriting and analyse you,much like being able to read someones palm and tell them a lot about their life in the future.What is your writing like?and what do you think...

thefreemind The difference being that you CAN tell something about someone from their handwriting, or at least identify a person from their handwriting. 'Reading' a palm is just superstition and tells you nothing. ;)

thefreemind Search Google for blog directories and sign up to as many as possible, although most will require that you put a reciprocal link to them on your blog. Sites like PayPerPost and Blogsvertise are hard to get into as they require a blog to be active usually...

How hard is it for you to drink EIGHT glasses of water a day?

Wendy @jerzgirl (9327) • United States 28 Jul 08

I have often found that consciously drinking eight glasses of water a day as recommended by so many doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, etc, isn't easy. One gets thinking about so many things and to stop and count glasses of water...

thefreemind Ok I'm going out on a limb here as I'm responding to the first post and I haven't read any of the previous 5 pages, so apologies if what I'm about to say has already been covered. The '8 glasses of water a day' philosophy is actually a bit confusing as it...

thefreemind I've used Yahoo for 10 years now and it's always served me well! Very quick servers and always reliable. I have a hotmail account for the sake of using MSN, but I don't use the e-mail. Can anyone get Gmail now? When I first heard of it, it was invite only.

thefreemind Absolutely not. Don't get me wrong, it's a good book, with interesting stories but it's certainly not a neccessity. No-one NEEDS to read it. Even for religious believers it delivers questionable moral ideals at best. Take it with a pinch of salt and try...

Evolving depends upon open mind?

jesse15 @jesse15 (153) • India 28 Jul 08

Open mind is a mind which accepts every right thing and absorbs it.Open mind is necessary. I say that we should have to evolve coz if we don't then we will be at the same position we were yesterday and our proper growth will fall....

thefreemind In response to the very first sentence of this topic I would say that having an open mind is considering ALL possibilities. Having an open mind is being able to decide for yourself what is 'right' and then choosing, based on your circumstances, whether to...

What do you think of current gas prices?

rlydick @rlydick (57) • United States 28 Jul 08

What do you think of current oil prices? They have gone down and all, but they are still to high. How are you coping with this? Do you not drive as much or do you cut back on something else like food, shelter, clothing, etc?

thefreemind As a driver who happens to be a driver who drives for FUN rather than practicality, I have a rather strange stance on the oil prices. I say let the prices rise! There's a few financially elite who basically control everything, oil prices included. The...

can man stand without culture

victorreal2 @victorreal2 (34) • Nigeria 28 Jul 08

i was wondering if there is any places without a culture.if there is a place please tell me and i like to know if the man there stands with values

culture and man

1 response

thefreemind I don't think culture dictates a person's values. The values of society determine its cultre, they are the backbone of a culture. Culture IS how a society behaves, as a whole, and therefore I think it's impossible to have anywhere without culture. As soon...

thefreemind Because gay people don't 'spawn' gay people. A straight couple can produce a gay person, therefore the population of 'new' gay people has no correlation to the existing gay population. I read a study recently that suggested it's highly likely that a certain...
