hdjohnson @hdjohnson (2981) • United States 25 Oct 08

My definition of a vice is something that you have a habit of eating, drinking or spending money on. You won't die if you don't have that certain thing, but subconsciously you might think that you will. So in that regard, my...

lizard211 I think Wikipedia is an interesting site and sometimes I use it for general information. However, I would never use it for actual research. I have found inaccurate information in it. Various writers write in it and it is somewhat common for companies to hire...

lizard211 I am guessing that kids don't read books as much as us older people read as children, just because of the internet, tv, and video games. However, I definitely do think that the quality of books that children do read has gone down. A lot of children like the...

sweetstuff82 @sweetstuff82 (99) • United States 19 Oct 08

One of my ultimate pet peeves is a person who pops on gum. Where I work gum is like water. People consume so much of it. Now I don't care about folks chewing the gum, its the way they chew it and how they pop it. So chew like...

I am an adopted Asian-American. Growing up I can not tell you how many times I heard statements like "Oh, you must be good at math and science" or "All you Asians are smart, bla, bla". The funny thing is that I do kinda fit the...

lizard211 Right on! Another point is that to marry out of love, which is considered the right thing to do (at least in the US), really isn't what traditionally marriage was about. People got married purely for political, financial, etc .. reasons. Traditions can be good...

lizard211 I think this is great advice. There have been a couple of times that I can remember I went to bed mad. Believe me, I didn't sleep well at all because I was so busy stewing over whatever I was mad about.
