DertyJ I don't think Facebook is to blame it is the person's choice whether or not to flirt and such. If the person does it in the real world and their partner doesn't see it already then it shouldn't even be in the question. I think flirting is natural and will...

MisterApropos @MisterApropos (288) • United States 23 Oct 10

DertyJ I think success can happen from either talent or hard work. I would rather have it form hard work because I would feel more accomplished. If you have talent like a good voice or baseball skills then you could have a lot of success. But if you work hard like...
