yambucket "The person on the cross was not Jesu." (I'm paraphrasing) In my opinion the person on the "cross" was not "Jesu" in the definition that he was not "G-d made flesh" but a prophet that had learned to wield the power of G-d's name to do miracles. He (Jesu)...

If you could start all over again, would you study harder?

magic9 @magic9 (980) • China 4 Feb 10

School life is sweet and bitter, full of joyfulness and sadness. Some students study hard for a goal, mainly academic goal; some just take their time to enjoy the schoolhood. When I was in school, I used to be a top student in...

yambucket Indeed I would. When I originally began my college career (I was 17), I studied hard and made nearly all A's but I avoided social functions and wasn't involved in any extracurricular activities. I regret that now, and not just because participating in such...

Why do people text?

oneidmnster @oneidmnster (1384) • United States 24 May 09

I can understand kids doing it while they're in school.It's to get away with something they aren't supposed to do.Why do adults do it.Isn't it easier and more personal to just call someone?

yambucket It has been my experience that kids predominantly text because it's ultimately private (no being overheard), quick, and it's not limited by proximity. I don't know any kids who text as a form of rebellion... As an adult (2 years from 30) I and my friends...

Do you put salt in your food when cooking?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 May 09

For years, I didn't add salt to my cooking, mostly for health reasons. Just recently, I bought some salt to use when making mashed potatoes and it's really made a difference in how things taste. Salt is unhealthy, that's...

yambucket I refrain from using salt except in very particular recipes, Onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley are my salt substitute and so far I haven't had any complaints. Allow me to offer a correction: Salt is not bad for you, refined salt (table salt) is bad...

Can you live in single for life?

itsonlyndream @itsonlyndream (377) • Philippines 19 May 09

Do you feel lonely and be single for life? I have never been boyfriend since birth and even don't socialize with people. I am afraid of having one since today is not the same anymore. People tend to look for beauty and brains. I...

yambucket My advice for you friend is to stop worrying about being single or being lonely, start doing something so you'll be less lonely. If that means you make friends, do it. If that means you need a romantic relationship work on yourself to become someone worth...

yambucket I'm single because I want time, time to develop myself into more of the person I want to be without trying to be something or anything for someone else. It's too confusing, and hard on them... at least it has been in the past. Better to discover the truth...

For or against the death penalty?

kiss_me2070 @kiss_me2070 (277) 21 May 09

I just wondered how many of you are for or against the death penalty and what are your reasons for your choice? I am personally against it, no-one is better for taking someone else's life whether they are guilty or not. These...

death penalty

yambucket I am for the death penalty. It is a logical action in my opinion; you say the reason you don't like the death penalty (pardon my paraphrasing) is because we don't have the right to take their life and they should suffer for the rest of their lives. The problem...

yambucket For the sake of this discussion let's have the understanding that having one (money or happiness) does not prevent posession of the other. I would chose money. And here is why... Money buys what? Things, physical things like: food, water, transportation,...

cudamani @cudamani (996) • India 18 May 09

I attempted at writing poems in English language a couple of times and I wrote also. But I did not cultivate the habit of writing poems in English language. I wrote poems of course in Telugu language. Did you attempt?

yambucket I have no interest in horoscopes for two reasons; first: I don't think they're true, I think it's just alot of carefully worded vague predictions. Second: if they are true I'd feel like a weakling for using them, like I'm too much of a coward to just take life...
