Do you think it is barbaric to

babyangie27 @babyangie27 (5176) • United States 20 Sep 09

Euthanize your animal by gunshot? If your animal was sick and you couldn't afford the expenses or didn't want to just drop them off somewhere,would you consider this method? I come from a "hillbilly" background. Most of my family...

ashley1171 I don't think that this is barbaric at all, cause like you stated the dog was very scared the whole way to the vet. My uncle shot my animal, but she was in a very happy state because she was playing and she didn't even feel a thing, so she died happy. But at...

Health Care Programs......

iriscot @iriscot (1289) • United States 20 Aug 09

The Republicans are against any health care reform as put forward by the committee working on it. It has been reported that instead of health care reform they would rather give everyone a Tax Rebate to use to pay for your...

ashley1171 They just want the rich to get richer and the poor to poorer. They don't care about the low income citizens, because they believe that they aren't contributing much to the economy. They have little money to spare. With that being said they want the rich to...

ashley1171 I am in a long distance relationship and we have made it work, but not consistently. We somehow break up and then manage to always get back together. It hurts yes but we know we can do it. We love each other to pieces, and we don't know what we would do...

Do you think that exlovers can be friends or friends can be future lovers?

marianna45 @marianna45 (1399) • Romania 12 Aug 09

In my opinion, lovers can t be friends after a love relation, just because they will remember all the time about story, and they can t stop to feel something, love i mean. But good friends, step by step, when they know each...

ashley1171 I think that ex lover's can be friends, but it won't come easy and it won't come naturally. They will always be wanting more, and I know that from experience. They will always be wanting that spark back, that relationship, that love. It's very hard to be...

Children should be encouraged to read story books..!!!

sagnik42 @sagnik42 (3589) • India 12 Aug 09

With all kinds of gadgets around, children hardly want to sit around and read a story book. Reading story books helps a child to build up his character and before the advent of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling reading story...

ashley1171 Yes, children need to read more. But we need to update our books. You can't expect us to read books that were written in our grandparents age. Let me explain that. Select children will enjoy that but with dialect they spoke then and the dialect we speak...

ashley1171 I think and I'm only guessing right now is what you're feeling is regret. You should never live your life full of regrets. Don't look at your past as regret but as a learning experience. Say oh, I shouldn't have done that. But now I know for the future what...

ashley1171 I think this is an example of tabloids, in the political sense. Everywhere we look we see images doctored up, just to feed the population what they want to see. It's completely ridiculous that people can't just accept things for face value and they always have...

This is outrageous..

Chalea Hutchinson @zoey7879 (3092) • Quincy, Illinois 11 Aug 09

I just read a news article about a 6 year old girl who snuck food from her family's kitchen without permission. As a punishment, she was bound hands and feet and left on the bed; in instance for a week straight. As a kicker, those...

Do you think a homosexual Civil Union is the same as Marriage?

pushkin69 @pushkin69 (546) 11 Aug 09

Here in England homsexuals have been able to enter into a civil union since 2005. They have the same rights as heterosexual couples. What are your view on this. Do you think it should be looked at in the same way as a marriage?...

What are the consequences of the Cash for Clunkers program?

bziebarth @bziebarth (228) • United States 7 Aug 09

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The American economy is no different. Every part of the economy is reliant on another part. When our government makes regulations, programs, or laws that affect one area will affect...

ashley1171 I read this important point in the newspaper somewhere. They have the clunker for a reason. I'm not saying this is true in all cases, but it probably means they don't have the money for a new car in the first place. Not only will they have a monthly...

Politics and kids

OpinionatedLady @OpinionatedLady (5965) • United States 7 Aug 09
