Curlann @annierose (21977) • United States 16 Mar 17

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 11 Jan 17

I know some people (mostly older people) who faithfully believe in curses. Some of them cite several examples of what they have witnessed, but I really can not believe it. Well, I can't speak for them, but for me... If you have a...

Why do most people think they are right just because they are older?

romzee @romzee (937) • Philippines 6 Nov 12
