meliora Too ture. Life is risky business. It's like the band Rush says "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Choosing not to do anything that may be a 'risk' is still not a safe bet because you run the risk of depriving yourself of what you...

meliora Your friend's ex-girlfriend sounds like a real succubus. I've had relationship experiences that have left me no longer the same afterward. Relationships, while they can be wonderful, are never safe. They can change you in ways that you cannot imagine, for good...

I had started a discussion the other day about my daughter and this Dork she met a little over a month ago. He turned out to be a real ignorant Mother F'er. The other day was the last straw. I didnt want to be a tyrant and demand...

meliora Rock on. t's good that you let her do this on her own. She learned a valuable life lesson and it looks like she can understand her own worth enough not to tolerate being treated as an accesory.

meliora Forgot to add, It also gives kids tangible proof that you care about how well they do in school and that you honor their achievements. It's great encouragement. It's far more about the message you're sending your child than about the actual toys themselves.

meliora I think it's good to give a reward to kids for good grades. it gives them incentive and it reinforces their feelings of accomplishment. You do want them to do well in school for a better reason than just the reward, and that's understandable, but giving them...

meliora I love hamburgers. I don't like McDonalds hamburgers so much as those of other places, but I absolutely love hamburgers. I like mine with ketchup, mustard, and cheese only. And lots of cheese. I don't really like onions on my burgers at all, unless they're...

Hey mylotters, if your partner is cheating would you want to know. Or would you prefer not to know, in hopes that things may get better between the two of you? As for me I think that I would want to know because I wouldn't want to...

meliora If my partner were cheating, I'd want to know. There are many different forms of cheating and many many different reasons why people cheat. I'd want to know and I'd also want to know why so I could better understand what's going on. It'd be painful, yes, but...

meliora All of the ones listed above are beautiful. As far as the looks department goes, I actually don't find blacks and asians to be too far off from eachother. What attracts me in those races is the eyes and the face shape, as well as the full lips, which both...

meliora My fingernails get pretty long. They grow really fast and are really tough naturally so they don't break often. Honestly, I just don't get around to cutting them very often. My fingernails have always been like this ever since I was a kid.

meliora Yes. Pride may be a very big part in it. Challenges to one's beliefs or opinions are often see as being exactly that: challenges; therefore, considering the opposing point of view feels like defeat or surrender. It's a detrimental mindset. Getting rid of the...

meliora I just do my best to suppress it, which is very hard. I find that, the harder you try to suppress laughter, the harder you want to laugh and the more you know you shouldn't laugh, the funnier it is.

meliora just want to clarify something: I state that N. Korea is in the process of getting nukes. Technically, they already have them. What I meant by "in the process" is that they don't yet have them ready for use, nor do they have the ability to launch them yet.

meliora The nuclear weapons situation is a very complicated one so I'll just do my best to answer why it'd be bad for N. Korea to have them. Currently, the nations who have nuclear weapons are China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Pakistan, the U.S.A, and...
