apaule @apaule (47) • Philippines 23 Jan 07

Tell me what you think of this novel/movie. DO you think they are telling us a part of the truth or everything in it is fake. I'd really like to know what you think.

woegman If you have not ever read them, I suggest the Stainless Steel Rat series by Harrison. They are extraordinarily funny, light reads, and very enjoyable. For a more serious series, I highly recommend the Chronicles of Amber by Zelazny. Intriguing, deftly written,...

Would you rather .... (a curiousity question)?

Ciniful @Ciniful (1587) • Canada 8 Jan 07

A discussion was brought up on another, and with some of the answers, it sparked an interesting outlook. How many would rather see an act of violence than an act of love, simple because of the genders involved? So, the question...

woegman I think this is a barbed question, in that its answer varies on the situation in which the question is presented. In real life, I would rather see an act of love than an act of violence, without a doubt. Two men kissing doesn't bother me at all, but two men...

woegman I too am on Effexor, 150mg here, and I can say from personal experience that coming off of it is like going mad - it is the most terrifying, helpless experience I have ever encountered. I asked my best friend (a pharmacist) about this, and she said that...

Relationship is the first obstacle in the path of creativity.

muntaha @muntaha (376) • Bangladesh 2 Feb 07

What do you think about it? People are too much relation oriented and it stops them to be creative.

woegman While I understand where you are coming from initially, I would have to disagree...personally, I think some of the most inspired works come from those who have a strong relationship with the subject of their creation; after all, their intimate connection and...
