Peer Editing

GlitterExplosion @GlitterExplosion (415) • United States 21 May 07

When it comes to tell the truth I have never really been fond of the whole peer editing scheme that is usually used in English classes. To be blunt, it is obvious that the student grading your paper could careless if you got an...

kariliv I dislike peer editing, as I feel it puts students in the place of teachers. What if one of them incorrectly "corrected" your paper? However- I have never had an English teacher look over one of my papers before I turned it in to "fix" my mistakes. That was my...

Watching TV during mealtime.

Ellie @ellie26 (4139) • Malaysia 21 May 07

A few days ago I went to visit a friend of mine. Her children were having their meals and at the same time watching TV. We sit and chat for about 20 minutes or so and her children were still eating. I can see that they were...

kariliv I let her watch TV while she eats all the time. I only put as much as she will eat on her plate anyway. She doesn't have a set meal time, either. I let her tell me when she is hungry, so that when she does have her meal, she is easting from hunger and not from...

Where do you find new music?

kariliv @kariliv (16) • United States 21 May 07

It seems like radio has a list of 20 songs that they play over and over. Do you find new songs by listening to the radio, or do you find them on the Internet, TV and in movies?

edbee888 @edbee888 (34) • Philippines 21 May 07

I really like the voice of Edwin Mccain especially his songs. I love "i could not ask for more" and "i'll be". The songs are really enticing. Could you also recommend me other wonderful songs of Edwin Mccain that you love... I...

kariliv My favorite is "Write Me a Song." It wasn't a big it, and I can't remember how I found it, but it is one of the songs that he wrote, unlike "I could Not Ask For More," which was written by Diane Warren. The song is poignant and moving- much moreso than some of...

A few weeks ago I posted a discussion about whether to get a root canal or have my tooth extracted. Well my tooth has recently started bothering me really bad causing lots of pain and headaches. So I called around to figure out...

kariliv I'm glad you've decided to get the tooth pulled. In the long run, it will be worth it, even if the short term effects are rough. My mother had several teeth extracted a few weeks ago and eating and talking were had for her for a few days. Since you are only...

The death penalty

joe137 @joe137 (60) • United States 19 May 07

I'm from Baltimore where the death penalty is not used but the murder rate per capita makes Baltimore one of the most dangerous places to live in the US. I want to know where you stand on the death penalty and why.

kariliv Until the police start taking any and all calls seriously, nothing will change. It appalls me that people can walk the streets with guns clearly visible without fear of recrimination. Of course, you can throw a lot of people in jail, but that's only treating...

How many people here speak English?

kariliv @kariliv (16) • United States 19 May 07

This is my first day here, and while looking through a lot of the discussions it is apparent that a large number of people here are non-native English speakers (not that there is anything wrong with that). It left me wondering how...

kariliv I do not believe in the death penalty for the simple reason that our justice system is administered by human beings and therefore is fallible. There have been too many cases of men on death row being set free after erroneous convictions. How many innocent men...

Does your boyfriend complain about your looks? What's your take on that?

xquisite @xquisite (156) • United States 19 May 07

My boyfriend says I'm flat. He used to say I'm too chubby, so I went on diet and successfully dropped 10 lb. But now, I'm skinnier everywhere, so obviously I lost some things too. Does your bf tell you that you're too this or too...

kariliv It sounds like you just can't please him. It would take a lot more than ten pounds to make a big difference between chubby and skinny anyway, so he sounds like he nit-picks. I would stay at the weight that makes you most comfortable and then find someone who...

kariliv No- because it doesn't show that they have the same troubles as everyone else. All it shows is that the people who write for those rags have great imaginations. 95% of what is in those things isn't true anyway. Why would you waste your time on that trash?

kariliv Would I meet them? Sure. Would I let them in my home? Absolutely not. If you want to meet them, arrange a meeting in a public place like Starbucks or McDonald's. Most people on the Internet are nice, but there are a few that you have to watch out for. I would...

kariliv If you haven't already, you should change your Paypal password. You can also change the email address that is associated with your Paypal account, and that may ad a level of security. There are a lot of scams out there. I can be hard to tell a real opportunity...
