If you knew for a fact that reincarnation was real, Would you kill yourself?

mssnow @mssnow (9484) • United States 13 Mar 07

If you found out that for sure you could be reincarnated would you die in hopes of having a better life. I probably would not kill myself but I would not be so afraid of dying as I am now. But then I would also worry that my life...

Hospital soapys on tv

kiwikidz @kiwikidz (753) • New Zealand 26 Feb 07

Do you love them or hate them, what you might ask? I'm talking about tv programmes about hospitals the soapy kind. I love them and can't get enough , I would watch them all day if I could. I think I am a bit bias though as I...

hoffin Sorry kiwikidz.....this time I have to disagree with you. I think TV soaps are the greatest time wasters and they are simply (from what I've seen) absolutely unrealistic....I would much rather play on my computer if I had that sort of time to waste....

Do you hate your name?

certified_alice @certified_alice (1854) • Philippines 23 Feb 07

creativedreamweaver @creativedreamweaver (7297) • United States 23 Feb 07
