geishagirl Make sure you read the syllabus and plan ahead how you are going to tackle your studying. I know for myself, it is easy to procrastinate til the 11th hour when my homework is due. NOT GOOD!! I am working on studying and doing the assignments earlier in the...

How do you respond or think when someone says he/she doesn't believe in God? First thing comes in to my mind is to go up to that person and ask: Can you explain the magic of birth & pain of death? or the beautiful things we look...

geishagirl I view hatred as a gift. It is a catalyst for change or a reminder of what we do not want in our lives. But it is important not to let the hate control us or cause us to do something that would harm another being. I know that it is popular to view hatred as...

geishagirl I don't get the judgments about it either. I think it has to do with the fact that people that are working from home, with their own income, are non conformist, and non conformists scare mainstream folks! I know that I am more productive when I am home...

geishagirl Yes this breed was established for fighting, I don't deny that. One thing tho, is that when this breed was also established to be non human aggressive. If it bit a handler, it was put down. And yes, while it is their instinct, a properly trained and sound...
