Do you talk about the good things or the bad things in your life??

vega83 @vega83 (6340) • Bahrain 16 May 07

Complain, complain, complain, that's all some people like to do. It's almost like if you take that away, they'd have nothing to talk about. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining here, I'm just trying to figure out what makes...

carmine_16 Yes, I do think we complain more than appreciate the things we have. It is easier to complain too, you know. I think subconciously we want others to feel sorry for us, console us, so become little cry babies. We complain first and later when the problem is...

Do you sleep, talk or meditate during a haircut?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 10 Apr 07

Alright, let's face it. We are no longer living in the era of cavemen and cavewomen so sooner or later, we are going to need a haircut. If you are "lucky" to have an enthusiastic partner, he or she might probably snip off those...

carmine_16 Uh, only yesterday I chopped off my silky strands to keep them away from my face. I definitely don't sleep while the hair dresser cuts my hair, and my hair dresser is not a talkative one either. I don't know why, may be my face puts off her urge to talk. So I...

Do you easily give or lend money when someone asks you?

joice86 @joice86 (1078) • Philippines 15 May 07

I am just curious of how many of you here are generous enough to give money to loved ones or to friends especially during holidays and special occasions. How important money is to you that it is hard for you to share it with...

shakeroo @shakeroo (3986) • Malaysia 13 May 07

carmine_16 When I get really really angry, then I go simply calm. I don't do it conciously, it simply happens. I don't shout, scream or anything. I simply go quiet and suddenly all the anger is gone. I shout or scream when I am little angry. I think it is better simply...

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 13 May 07

I will put the disclaimer way up front (HERE) so that jealous meanies will have no excuse to report this as a provocative religious discussion (like what happened the other time). This is not a religious discussion and I do not...

carmine_16 No, absolutely NO. I don't worry or think about after I die. Who cares as long as I have a good life? Enough money to make me comfortable, for education, good house, car, good food and medicine. Enough friends to help me when I am in trouble or to just get...

Education: a privilege or a matter of right

capssy07 @capssy07 (207) • Philippines 20 Apr 07
