habanera @habanera (24) • Germany 17 Mar 07

I have signed up to myspace some months ago and have received a lot of friend requests so far. But these requests seem to come mostly from people who want to advertise or sell something. What are your experiences with myspace and...

"How can the dream survive if we murder the children?"~ Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King [college professor and pro-life speaker]

habanera I think in some cases abortion is the better solution than carrying out a child that has absolutely no perspectives, for example if the mother is very young, still goes to school etc.. There are so many childs out there that are unwanted and therefore unloved....

Drug testing

WeenitsMom @WeenitsMom (492) • United States 8 Mar 07

Do you think it's acceptable to test for drugs when someone is applying for a job? I think it's horrible. To me, drug testng is just one more way for employers to tell you what youcan and can not do in your leisure time. What do...

habanera IMO, employers shouldn't do any kind of drug testing. A person is not necessarily an addictive just because a drug screening shows positive results at a given time. Marijuana for example stays for weeks inside the body and the drug test won't tell when the...

Was Hitler's regime a hoax?

fotychic @fotychic (318) • United States 1 Dec 06

I have heard people say that Hitler and his Nazi's and everything that went down in Germany during WWII was all a hoax, that the Jews made up for sympathy. Do you believe this? It seems highly improbable to me that anyone could...

habanera I don't understand how anyone could believe that the murdering of 6 million people could be a hoax! In Germany and the countries formerly occupied by Hitler you still can find so much evidence of these terrifying crimes. You just have to visit one of the...

salsabila @salsabila (25) • Indonesia 2 Mar 07

habanera I'll always prefer a real book. I cannot imagine to read a novel on my laptop, it won't be same same relaxing experience as lying on the bed reading a good book.

habanera I enjoyed the movie very much. Benicio is one of my favorite actors but in The Way of the Gun I also liked Juliette Lewis and James Caan. Unfortunately, the film doesn't seem to be as popular as it deserves.
