Most people who die are just victims of consequences....

cyclopz @cyclopz (251) • Sydney, Australia 29 Jun 11

They say most people who die are just mere victims of consequences and not because their time is up, it is usually because they are on the wrong place at the wrong time with someone whose time is already up. I recalled this...

schreurs5 I believe that if you die in an accident then it was your time. If alot of people die in an accident then chances are it was their time too. Murder on the other hand I am not sure of. If you are murdered is it just bad luck, wrong place at the wrong time...

schreurs5 What I did to make money was to babysit one or two kids at my home. I also took a flyer and newspaper route. I would take the kids with me when we delivered the papers. I have also sold stuff on facebook groups or kijiji. I also do surveys for a couple...

Simple summer themed ideas

Cricket127 @Cricket127 (548) • United States 29 Jun 11

Hello all! I have a cake that is due on the 7th and I believe it's going to be for about 20 people. I'd like to do a 2-tier summer theme for girls and their mothers that is simple, colorful, and fun. My decorating skills are...

schreurs5 A cute summer theme could be a beach. Use blue icing for the water and you can make it look like waves so you don't need to get it smooth. Use brown sugar for the sandy beach. You could maybe find some toys at the dollar store like a little umbrella, beach...

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85127) • Valdosta, Georgia 29 Jun 11

schreurs5 Every mother wants to protect their kids from both physical pain and emotional pain, but children need to experience both to grow into healthy functioning adults. It is alright to protect them from some of it, but they have to experience disappointment to be...

what do you think of the one child policy ?

overtoom @overtoom (33) • United States 21 Jun 11

what do you think of the one child policy ,to control birth rate and to avoid overpopulation of the world . do you think it's a good or bad idea = -- and what happened if a couple get a second child ?

child

schreurs5 I think it is a really bad idea, the governments are trying to take control of every aspect of our lives and it will not lead to anything good. I think that you can have as many children as you can afford to care and provide for. As long as you can do it...
