Shopkeepers not to report thefts?

derek_a @derek_a (10873) 23 Jul 10

I read in the news today that police are telling shopkeepers not to report thefts of under £20 in the UK. Do you feel that theft is theft and should always be reported? And could this mean that young people will now start...

blueunicorn I do think that announcing to the public that "small" thefts won't be reported will increase shoplifting. It's sad that all over the world we are choosing to "look the other way" because of "small crimes." It is the small crimes that turn into big ones. If...

how close the relevance between your music and your lifestyle ?

kuyangmaneuver @kuyangmaneuver (66) • Indonesia 14 Oct 09

blueunicorn I do believe music can be considered part of your lifestyle. Whatever you choose to surround yourself with tells something about you, thus being a lifestyle choice. For example, I don't listen to a lot of music with swear words and topics I find offensive....

nagikka @nagikka (407) • Italy 15 Oct 09

Most of us have good memories of our childhood, but somewhere there had to be a little something that's upset us and that we'll hardly forget. What's yours ? As for me, my worst memory and accident involved glue (the super...

blueunicorn It really wasn't too bad once you consider we got 4 meals out of it- two meals at the happy hour, then 2 breakfasts. The B&B was near the Grand Canyon Railroad, which we had riden on that day as a tour.

blueunicorn The most expensive hotel I've stayed at was actually a bed and breakfast. It was $200 per night, but it was FUN! We only stayed one night. In the evening the place had a happy hour where all the guests gathered for a snack which was big enough to be a meal,...

When did you last see a movie in the theater?

IT's been a question in alot of surveys lately. You know I haven't been in a movie theater since my oldest who's almost 7yrs was 5 weeks old! My hubby has been only once since then & that was to take my oldest to see Cars when it...

blueunicorn It's been about a year and a half since I've been to a movie theater. We usually go about once every 2 years. It's just too expensive for a family anymore. When we do go we go to the discount theater. Even at only $3 per ticket, though, we can't go too often.

Do you prefer a shower or a bath?

Sheri @tuckersheri (1327) • United States 23 Aug 09

I prefer to take a bath because it is so relaxing. I find it to be more relaxing than a shower. You can lay and lounge in a tub. You can also throw in some fun stuff like a bubble bath, bath salt and good smelling body wash. A...

blueunicorn My bathroom is not a relaxing, pleasant place to be so I would choose the shower. That way I can get in and out.

Is it right to give children presents everytime a mother comes home from work?

blueunicorn I personally think this is a really bad habit to get into. Why don't you make the gift something like a hug or a walk around the block? Something that a child can enjoy but is not a tangible thing. That way the child has the satisfaction of having you home but...

blueunicorn I'm sorry to be so blunt, but to get divorced for this reason is stupid. If this is an otherwise healthy marriage, I am not sure why this woman would get divorced. What is the meaning of the vows we take when we marry? Do they not say in sickness and in...

blueunicorn I think I was about 14 or 15 when I first fell in love. We dated off and on from that time until I married my first husband at age 22. Boy did I choose the wrong guy! :) Anyway, the boy I fell in love with was wonderful and turned into an awesome man. I am...

Are you satisfied with your name? Would you change it if you have the chance?

jenskye03 @jenskye03 (354) • Philippines 7 Aug 09

I have a short and unusual name. People sometimes thought that I am a guy when they haven't met me yet. My mom named me from a tennis player she liked then did some modification. And poof! That's my name now. LOL.. I don't have...

blueunicorn I think cosleeping is a lot more common than people will admit to as well. I think we all say we won't do it, but when it is 3:00 in the morning and the baby is not sleeping, well, things change. I had a co-sleeper attachment for my bed. It was great! It...

Are you afraid that your parents may die right now?

kenchobi @kenchobi (147) • Philippines 7 Aug 09
