How do you shut down your thinking processes?

uicbear @uicbear (1900) • United States 19 Jul 09

Do you ever get to a point where you just don't want to think about something any more? How do you put it out of your head? Do you go for a run, walk, or drive? Do you put on your headset and listen to some music? Do you meditate,...

Jixapose Do I know you? LOL I have this bad habit of walking very quietly, and I tend to scare the bejesus out of many people - completely unintentionally. I've only had people take a swing at me once or thrice... luckily, they never connected.

Are you smart?

faisai @faisai (1138) • Hong Kong 26 Jun 09

Mexican Violence and Gun Control

Connie @connierebel (1557) • United States 30 May 09

I don't like the fact that the Democrats are trying to use the current drug-related violence in Mexico to curb our gun rights. It is a downright lie that the guns the gangsters use mostly come from the US. Also, even the ones that...

Do you like politics with violence?

srmailtosr @srmailtosr (425) • India 29 May 09

Jixapose The only problem that I have found trying to live the 'American Dream' is that so many people are willing to try and take that opportunity away from you, so it's also a difficult path to take. I have been trying to keep my own business afloat and give the best...
