Will you help a beggar?

lucy67 @lucy67 (819) • China 16 Mar 07

Today on my way home, I saw a beggar who was very dirty and in rags. It was raining at the moment but he had nothing to shelter himself from the rain. I gave him my umbrella and shared another umbrella with my friend. My friend...

timmack Some beggar's are more pro then hungry. I can remember a beggar wearing dark glasses and shaking a cup at passengers. He was just a little ahead of me when I got off the train. And while I started to walk toward home, I noticed that he hailed a cab. And when...

timmack Thanks for the info. I hadn't even noticed the rating thing till I read your post. But I wish the post rating was bigger. I don't really see to well.

Blogging for fun or profit?

dlkuku @dlkuku (1935) • United States 15 Mar 07

I've been blogging for several years now, and I enjoy it tremendously. I started initially so I would have a place to vent, to write my thoughts, feelings and opinions. I have benefited tremendously by blogging, not only by...

timmack There are a lot of scams out there. A few times I checked out money making presentations, only to find out that they were suspect at the least. Most of the time, if you put the name of the company in a search engine like Google, you will find a bunch of...

What Kind Of A President Would Hillary Clinton Make?

timmack @timmack (13) • United States 15 Mar 07

After eight long years of the opposition party sitting in the oval office, its a fair bet to figure that a Democrat will be sitting in the oval office in 2008. So, most likely, it will be either Hillary, Obama, or Edwards. My...

timmack I really think that the so called Christian voters have really been taken for a ride. And I think the politicians have just been using them. They should be smart this time and not endorse anyone. I say this because I think they are just too easy to manipulate...

Do people change?

heres2thescarsUleft @heres2thescarsUleft (313) • United States 15 Mar 07

My husband once told me that he wanted to prove to me that people can change. And by this he meant that he can change. Now, me and my husband have a wonderful relationship. Before we were married...it was pretty rocky. He...

timmack Marriage makes a big difference. You are no longer you or he, but rather you are we. Only a fool would get married and think that they could still be just them and not we. I doubt if being overseas had anything to do with the change. But rather, I suspect, he...

timmack The guy is doing a clever marketing ploy, that's all. Think about how much it would cost him to do a TV, radio, or even newspaper commercial. To generate this sort of publicity $1,000 is real cheap. But even in New York, its not likely that anyone is going to...

Its Time For All Cars To Run On Battery Power

timmack @timmack (13) • United States 15 Mar 07

Yes, I know, cars that run on batteries can't go very far or fast. But, hey, we drive to much anyway, and slower moving cars would cause less accidents anyway. Did you know that in Saudia Arabia, all the garbage trucks run on...

Opinions on smacking children wanted please!

I_love_cowboys @I_love_cowboys (12) • New Zealand 14 Mar 07

The NZ government is currently debating whether or not to ban parents being able to smack their children as a form of discipline. Some politicians are being forced to vote against their personal beliefs, (voting to make smacking...

timmack I think it is far better to restrain from spanking children if you can. But there may be times that your child could be in danger if not spanked. For instance, if you told a child several times, not to touch a hot radiator heater and they kept doing so...

Is It A Crime To Hate Shakespeare?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 14 Mar 07

Please tell me I'm NOT the only one who neither understands or enjoys Shakespeare? I absolutely loathe it and can't understand why people want to read 'old English' what use does it have? I have a love for English and Maths, I...

timmack No, there is nothing wrong with disliking Shakespeare, but by the same token, there is nothing wrong with disliking math either. School is all about getting that sometimes painful medicine that they think we need to be well rounded. Shakespeare was eight...

timmack @timmack (13) • United States 15 Mar 07

For the first time ever, our current generation of children are expected to have a shorter life span than the preceding generation. This is being caused by the tremendous problem of child obesity. Many schools have removed...
