Amythyst I just don't have the time to request people. Certain people would likely not want me to be their friend though--especially those with certain political views. Although I don't have a party I belong to--I just like to make people wake up to reality sometimes.

Did the American people vote for Obama so he could do this?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16677) • Boston, Massachusetts 28 May 09

I was thinking today about campaign rhetoric and how it rarely translates into real policy. President Obama has run into particular difficulties in this area, not really having the experience or information to realize that much of...

Amythyst I didn't vote for Bush either time as I knew what he would turn out to be just by his debates before getting into office. Bush was very careless and did what other Republicans wanted and put the country into this mess. Obama is trying very hard to fix it. I...

Do you think we lost the ability to enjoy life as we get older?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 28 May 09

Children are better at enjoying life than adults. Everything is fun when we were young. Eating ice-cream was enjoyable, climbing tree was enjoyable, watching the clouds and making up stories about fairies and dragons was...

Amythyst No, we don't lose that ability. Some people think it's mature to worry about work and a lot of responsibility. However, you can actually get paid to have fun--like being a comedian, singing, and other items. Work is just basically something that gets in the...

Amythyst I have lenses on Squidoo, but only make about a dollar here or there. Maybe I will see if I can post a link on my profile here to help me out. I guess I thought you couldn't get people to look at your own pages directly on the forums. I have about 49 lenses on...

Amythyst It depends on what you want for customer service. At a large store, I never ask for customer service unless I really cannot find anything because its actually faster for me to find it myself. I think that customers that expect you to hold them by the hand and...

What movie would you like to see remade?

Tatsinda @Tatsinda (60) • United States 28 Jan 09

I keep waiting on the remake of "Logan's Run" - I think they could really make that a spectacular movie now, with all the CGI technology! I read recently they're remaking "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". I cringed when I read...

Amythyst I don't really want to see any remakes as most originals are better inthe long run. In some cases I'd like to see less remakes by Hollywood and more originality that relies on story more than shock factor.

Amythyst I'm 33 years old and not married ever--sad isn't it? Well maybe not so sad when some people seem to end up with not so great partners. It's just sad because I'd like to continue the family line as my brother doesn't seem very interested. Maybe when I get...

Amythyst Aldi is really great and cheaper than Wal-Mart--however it is similar in size and items to its competitor Sav-A-Lot--who, unlike Aldi, alllows more than just cash as a payment. I don't keep the kind of cash a grocery order at Aldi might cost on me, so unless...

Amythyst All I know is that it doesn't pay off most of the time to get involved on programs with an initial investment. There are websites that don't pay you to do something that other sites do. I don't think they pay you to spam, directly anyway.
