Are we becoming like domesticated animals to the government?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 8 Dec 09

I become concerned that as the government attempts to take over more and more of our lives that humans will cease to try and better themselves. Kind of like if you put food out for a feral cat - the cat will cease to hunt and will...

The White House declares a non religious based Holiday Tree

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 28 Nov 09

The White House has basically declared war on Christmas. God is good enough to be on the dollar bill but apparently not on the White House Christmas Tree. I understand the separation of church and state but, HELLO Christmas is a...

I stand corrected, some of these tasks really do pay

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 16 Nov 09

I tried my hand at some of the writing task a while back. All were rejected. I thought I had followed very closely exactly what they said to do. I even posted that I wasn't sure it was the real deal or maybe I was just a poopy...

Should it be illegal to talk on your cell phone while driving?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 10 Nov 09

I think it should. People make too many mistakes when they drive and talk. I see it all the time - they speed up and then slow down because they are distracted. They pull over and change lanes without looking. I just think it is...

Is driving a right or a privilege?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 10 Nov 09

I believe that driving is a privilege not a right. There are many people on the road that do not need to be driving. They cannot keep up with the flow of traffic. They get in the fast lanes and drive below the posted speed limit....

Where do you prefer to live - mountains or ocean?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 8 Nov 09

I grew up near the ocean, but unfortunately I am really not an ocean person. It's too hot and sticky. When I married we raised out children in the mountains. I love the mountains. They are so regal and beautiful. There isn't a...

Do you still have adult children living at home?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 4 Nov 09

I think there is a national trend that children are not leaving the nest. I have two adult children, they have never been married but are both over 18. They still live at home. They both have full time jobs and attend college but...

Do you agree with the death penalty in 1st degree murder?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 3 Nov 09

I am a firm supporter of the death penalty. My biggest issue with it is that a criminal gets 20 years on death row before the penalty is carried out. I believe premeditated murder is a heinous crime and we should not be keeping...

Consider - you are at supper and everyone at the next table is drinking

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 31 Oct 09

I unfortunately see this more than you think. I go into a restaurant and at the table next to me every person is drinking alcohol. It really bothers me. I want to know who is driving home. I find that it usually happens at tables...

Drinking and driving, really a deadly problem?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 31 Oct 09

I deplore drinking and driving. I think it is one of the most irresponsible things a person can do. It shows complete disregard for yourself and others. But... I do know people who have or do try it I tell them exactly what I...

Do you use a "canned" home school curricula or make up your own?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 29 Oct 09

We home schooled our children. I could never locate a "canned" or prepared curricula that I liked. It seemed the Christian based ones were to church oriented - when I teach spelling I don't want to teach religion. Others just...

Can you really say I love you in a song?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 29 Oct 09

Jim Croce thought so. Do you remember the song? There have been several post lately about saying I love you. Some think if you say it too much it loses meaning. Some think you can't say it enough. Some don't say it at all. So can...

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 28 Oct 09

We addressed in another post the live vs. artificial question so now I am wondering do you use more than one tree? Once I started using artificial trees I went to two trees. One upstairs and one downstairs. I have so many...

Where have our manners gone?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 26 Oct 09

As I go through my day I see and meet a lot of people. It amazes me the number of people I see that do not have even the most basic of social manners. All ages of people. My parents actually taught us manners. How to act at...

Christmas Trees - Live vs. Artificial

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 25 Oct 09

Okay I was a diehard believer in live trees since I was a child. My parents always used a live tree as did we. But several years ago the prices of trees became ridiculous and the kids were grown and didn't participate in the...

Just picked up my new laptop today. Haven't really had a lot of time to explore windows 7 yet. It always takes me forever to set up a new computer. There are so many things that you have to take off and add on just to get up and...

China kills prisoners and sells their organs - should we do the same?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 21 Oct 09

There are many articles out there about China's policy to sell organs. You can make an inquiry they will obtain a prisoner with the right blood type, etc. then execute them and send the organs to the hospital requested. I could...
