machizmo When I get in a place in my life, I usually go back to my roots and see where I came from and I realize all of the things I have done have gotten me where I am today. I usually have a place or someone that I go to help me get back to seeing things.

Can education really eliminate poverty?

clearwater18 @clearwater18 (695) • Philippines 4 Oct 11

The big question is can education really eliminate or can minimize poverty? After graduating college, some people tend to work since in their mind, they think that if they work, they can earn money and become rich. They don't...

education

machizmo I think education can help someone in life but I do not think it will help them out of poverty always. It may help but it is like many things they say will fix poverty. I think there is a massive lobby to get people into college loans and get people into debt...

machizmo I know what I would do if I had a lot of land like that. I would get me all kinds of poultry houses and places to keep them and sell even more of what I am doing now. If if you want to do the planting side of agriculture just take time with it and realize you...

Do you believe that dreams have meanings?

mayrah @mayrah (1144) • United States 19 Nov 10

machizmo Dreams are quite amazing. I think the reason there is so little that goes into talking about dreams is that no one really knows why we have them? They know the mechanics of why we dream but the actual reason in connection to our mind and body, I do not think...

Could "God" Destroy Himself

wiggles18 @wiggles18 (2506) • Canada 19 Nov 10

Would "God" be able to destroy himself?

machizmo This question is like the one that says " Can God make a rock so heavy he cannot pick it up?" I heard someone explain it that God go against his own nature. Other than that I do not try to explain all things divine.

machizmo When I eat a dipped cone, it reminds me of when we had diary queens all over the place. If I eat catfish I think of when I would go fishing with my grandfather. I also think of when I was a boy when I eat a bowl of tomato soup.
