Spiders, Snakes, and other Creepy Crawlies

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 9 Jul 12

Why are people so scared of these? the average human weighs approximately 180 pounds, and a spider weighs less than an ounces. That's hundreds of times as much! And the whole "They're gonna bite me! I'm going to die!!!!!!!!!" No....

War between the states...modern version

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 18 Jun 10

You could call it a war between the states and federal government this time. And instead of it playing out in a field of battle it is being waged in the court rooms. Several states are sueing the federal government over the...

xParanoiax On one hand, my heart flutters at the possibility that REAL dialogue may result from this trend. Not Arizona's bill per se, but what it's going to inspire. Fed vs State. The people vs Big Brother. As a newsblogger of three years now, I've been dying to push...

Don't go to Parent Teacher Conferences...go to jail?

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 18 Jun 10

A Wayne county prosecutor Kym Worthy is suggesting a countywide proposal to punish -- and even arrest and prosecute -- moms and dads who fail to attend parent-teacher conferences. I know our education system is in trouble. I...

xParanoiax Nanny state's attempt to deal with a real issue, most likely. Sure, something needs to be done...but governments rarely handle any situation where "something has to be done", a heavy hand because the person(s) who do do something either don't truly care or...

Which way would death become you?

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 19 Mar 10

Not to be morbid, someone recently pointed out the ironies of some famous people's deaths. For example, Edgar Allen Poe's death was wrapped in mystery when he died after having been found unconscious in the street -- dressed in...

xParanoiax Well, considering that much of my life has been dedicated to defying tyrannous authorities, writing, and trying to help people...perhaps I'll die for writing something not approved of, in order to help people; slated for death by some tyrannous authority....

In these tough times, do you keep a "secret stash" of money/piggy bank?

coffeegurl @coffeegurl (1467) • United States 13 Mar 10

I collect the quarters from the 50 states in a little jelly jar. It's not a lot of money, but if I sudden;y need change for coffe and can't get to the bank, they come in handy. One day, I caught my bf riffling through my coin...

xParanoiax I'm actually a couple months away from eighteen. I just entered the age as younger as a joke, back in my troll battling days in mylot's earlier history. Heh. Just never really bothered to change the age...or the city, on my profile.

xParanoiax I do. Although mainly because people who I live with would take it if they knew I had it. It's a security net, which I hope to not to have to use...to keep adding to, in the future. It's really good to have a bunch of money hidden away in case of...

Why Do People Feel The Need To Breed Their Pets?

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 13 Mar 10

Okay I might stir the wrath of some people and ruffle feathers, but why is it people who have pets feel the need and allow their pets to breed on purpose? I've been trying to get the point across to someone whose pedigree cat is...

xParanoiax I don't have a problem with responsible breeders, because not all breeds would still exist today if no one bred their animals...especially cats. BUT I really don't like people who breed their animals "just 'cause". If it serves a good cause, or purpose, and if...

xParanoiax I just don't focus on the fact I'm nervous. The only time I stammer is when I'm surprised...so I try my best never to be surprised. I'm not really shy, just not very social...and I frequently find myself in situations where I have to lie, so controlling my...

Don't give 100% in relationships, just give 50%-70%

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 28 Feb 10

I know that this topic is supposed to be in relationships, but I think it's better off on the Thinker's category, because I am thinking and it gives out a great deal of thinking. Anyhow, I have always heard people giving...

xParanoiax I think the percentages are just general terms to describe how much people're holding back, getting attached, expressing their affection, etc. It's called being guarded! I do that up and until the point where I'm committed in a relationship...meaning, I've...

xParanoiax I can happily live alone. It'd be pretty baffling...and considering who'd disappear, I might be a bit upset...so I'd have a sort of quest to occupy my time. But for the most part, it's not really stressful that there are no people around. I'd probably have to...

Which do you prefer, rice or noodles?

colydf @colydf (913) • China 24 Feb 10

For me, I will definitely vote for rice. I do not like to eat noodles at all. I would like to have rice every day for every meal. What about you? Do you like to eat rice or noodles?

xParanoiax Noodles. I heart rice, but I can't always get it just right. (I prefer sticky or steamed rice) Noodles...bah, they're simple and versatile, xD
