Helpful Comments Not Required

Ok. This will probably sounds awful. But, I really HATE it when people comment on my articles with things like, "Oh, and you forgot..." or "And, this is also true...." or "Oh, but did you know this...". I hate it. It's not...

kataztrophy Maybe I am alone on this but I would much rather get the know it alls than one liners. I hate comments that only consist of "good point" or "lolz, this was funny!". At least if you get a know it all commenting on your stuff, you know they took the time to...

What do you do to get more page views in AC?

I have been stumped at a certain clout for over a month now and I can't figure out why. Is there a better way of getting more page views? What are some of the things that you do to get people to read your articles on Associated...

kataztrophy I am in the process of building a fan base via wordpress and myspace. I have pretty much given up on commenting of other peoples articles. I now only comment of stuff I find interesting. I don't want to suck up do people who's writing I find to be boring. I...

Do we sympathize more for animals than people?

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 1 Aug 07

There was a horrible story here yesterday, where a man locked a rottweiler in a car, and the temperature in the car soared to 70 celcius. So, needless to say, people were outraged, rightly so. But, this is a neighbourhood where...

kataztrophy Look at the Micheal Vick situation. PETA is ready to convict anyone who is accused of doing anything wrong to an animal. The passion that organization shows is not duplicated by anyone when something bad happens to a person. It's sad really, makes me think of...

Best time of day for writing

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 25 Jul 07

I have just started to write in the morning, shortly after I get up. I find, that unlike the afternoon when I used to write, I can write for a longer period of time without my eyes getting tired. However, it takes longer. This...

kataztrophy I find that it is much easier for me to write when I am hungry. No idea why, it just is for some reason. I guess subconsciously I use it as a metaphor or something. I seem to do my best writing in that situation, so that may just be the case.

Did You Know Cats Can Get Sunburned??

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 25 Jul 07

I received my e-mail newsletter from Petplace.com, and they have an article there that mentions that cats (and dogs) can actually get sunburned! This kind of amazed me and I never thought about it before. I mean how many times...

kataztrophy This is surprising, I figured the fur would prevent that. I knew cats and dogs could over heat due to lack of sweat glands, but sunburn is a whole new set of problems.

Do you write articles? Or write for pay online?

gmakesmoney @gmakesmoney (2923) • United States 26 Jul 07

Do you right and publish articles for pay online? If so, what sort of guidelines do you use when writing? What do you do in order to ensure that you'll get paid for that article? Also, what sites do you use? Is there a site that...

Do you ever feel this way?

wooitsmolly @wooitsmolly (3613) • United States 26 Jul 07

Do you ever feel like sometimes people just do not get you at all? I can tell a joke and people won't get it at all... they look at me like I'm crazy, when really they just missed a hilarious joke! It happens to me on mylot...

kataztrophy I feel like that about 55% of the time. For some reason people take me way to serious. I make some silly comment, and people don't even notice. They do expect me to chuckle at each and every pun that attempt and fail at though. Really sucks, It killed my...

Baby Burned By Couple Fighting

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 25 Jul 07

On our local news the other day there was a report of a call to a home where they discovered a baby who was burned over 15% of it's body. The upshot of the whole thing was that the couple who were babysitting had gotten into a...

kataztrophy My question is what was the baby doing near hot cooking grease in the first place? I believe I would need to hear the whole story before passing judgement, but this already sounds really bad for this couple. Accidents happen sure, but something like this could...

Breastfeeding and my stupid friend

ChampagneGiggles @ChampagneGiggles (699) • United States 25 Jul 07

So I was having a discussion the other day with a really dumb friend of mine. We'd seen an apparently new mother attempt to breastfeed her child in public, and while I expressed empathy with her struggles and offered to hold her...

kataztrophy Yeah, everyone is hypocritical. This just seems like a very comical double standard to me. No problem with a women wearing extremely tight clothing that exposes almost everything, but a breast out for a child to feed upon is distasteful. As a fan breasts and...

kobe to the bulls

outkastdashit @outkastdashit (44) • United States 16 Jun 07

do you think the bulls will trade for kobe. Word is, is that kobe has expressed interest with chicago. Damn that would make me happy seeing kobe in a bulls uniform

chicago bulls

5 responses

kataztrophy I saw this on ESPN News, but I do not think this trade would work out too well if it happened. The Bulls would have to give up allot just to get Bryant. There would not be much left(in terms of good players on the team) after the fact, thus it would make this...

Where do you save money most often?

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 16 Jun 07

In the summer, my mom doesn't turn the air conditioner on until she absolutely has to, and even when she does the thermostat is set at 72. She does this to save money. I buy my groceries with saving money in mind. It's not a...

Would you touch a human skull?

missak @missak (3311) • Spain 16 Jun 07

Would you touch a human skull? Would you keep it in your home? Would you work with it looking at you? Do you think something of the person remains on the skull? Have you ever had a skull in your hands?

kataztrophy Odd questions. I would not keep a real skull as a paper weight, I have much cooler objects to hold my documents already.

kataztrophy Understanding can lead to someone becoming a good person. As we all may have difference in opinion on many topics, it is key to take others ideas into consideration instead of passing them off as being wrong.

Are you homeless if you're living out of a hotel?

msbiggs24 @msbiggs24 (285) • United States 16 Jun 07

What is the real meaning of being homeless? Just because you don't have a house or apartment to live in people will look at you funny about your alternate living situations. Everyone can't afford to purchase a house or even get...

kataztrophy A home is what you make it. My definition of a homeless person is one that does not have solid living arrangements. I think a hotel room is more stable than living out in the street, sleeping in a cardboard box.
