onesiobhan @onesiobhan (1327) • Canada 22 Dec 06

How many people have actually met "in real life" some of the people they talk to online? I met both my husband and my best friend on a usenet group. I met my girlfriend on a local bullitin board. And I have gotten to know a...

mmpreston06 I met my boyfriend through facebook. We go to the same school, but we never would have met without that site. We live a little more than an hour away from each other, but it's totally worth it-he's the best guy I've ever met. : )

mmpreston06 Even though my mom was married, she raised her children alone in a situation much like yours. When I was younger I resented my father never being home, but now I know that he felt that he was doing the right thing-working to support his family. My father...

Curious about something, what is Minimum Wage where you live?

killailla @killailla (1301) • Canada 17 Dec 06

I am quite shocked as min wage here is apparantly $8/hour (canada) but they can pay $6.00 for people who have not had 500 hours work experience in their lives until they have reached 500 hours, this is so ridiculous, the...

is feminism dead

shiboleth @shiboleth (270) • Canada 17 Dec 06

I hear so much complaining from women that they kind find a man. Women are even having kids on their own because they can't find anybody who wants to settle down with them. And why would a guy want to marry a woman and raise...

mmpreston06 That is disgusting. What kind of mom does stuff like that. I do think it's interesting that everyone seems to think her kids should be taken away from her and put in a nurturing home. Good families looking to take children in are hard to find. Most kids get...

brendalee @brendalee (6082) • United States 17 Dec 06

I have a habit of letting my dogs lick the dinner plates after we eat. Of course they are washed well afterwards. But I was wondering how many others let their dogs do this. Most people I know with dogs do this too, but I also...

Why are we, as Americans, adopting so many children internationally?

babs6219 @babs6219 (153) • United States 16 Dec 06

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I'm just wondering why we are adopting so many children internationally when there are thousands of children in our country who need homes? It's NOT a put down, or to insult...

mmpreston06 I was just having this conversation with a friend. People like the attention they get for adopting an international child. It's like their working toward the global good or some crap like that. I will say though, that sometimes, it's because of legal issues....

mmpreston06 Yeah it seems really subjective as to how much you make. I'm not here to make money though, so I don't really care. I'm totally addicted to forums and such, and this one just has the added bonus of making a few cents off of what I'm doing. It seems like I make...

mmpreston06 I'm pretty sure that in the United States you have the right to kill an intruder who refuses to leave, but as someone already said, you have to make sure he's dead. If he survives, you'll find yourself in the middle of a bunch of legal crap. What else can you...
