Do you think it's okay to use this term? Do you think that calling names is acceptable for adults? Is insulting 70+ million Americans by using a derogatory term a normal adult behavior? Is openly bashing people for having a...

Jim Bauer Both sides do it, and perhaps it's been going on for years. A popular term for the other side I see all the time is "Demonrats." People will use all sorts of "antics" to call something out they don't like or disagree with. I agree that we shouldn't do...

I Really Enjoy Peeing

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (71) • United States 12 Jul

What is it about things you practically had to be forced to do when you were a kid because you hated it that you end up really enjoying as an adult. Take for example - - - peeing. It's such a good feeling to empty one's bladder....

Jim Bauer It's weird you mention this, lol. I was just saying to the wife the other day before we headed out for our hour long drive to my niece's house for a party. "I should try to pee one more time before I go." I remember as a kid before a trip being told, "Try to...

Money earned by actors and actresses

Always smiling @allknowing (149579) • India 12 Jul

If you look at the bank accounts of actors and actresses they bust at the seams It is the public that pay them. It depends on the success of the box office and nothing to do with their acting prowess. These actors and...

Jim Bauer Of course it is fair that they make what they make. It sounds exorbitant, sure. But what they bring in for what they do is what matters. It's not about their acting prowess? I also disagree. It's ALL about their draw, and that draw is based on what they do and...

Things To Buy To Be Happier

Jim Bauer I have followed Ramsey over the years and agree with most of his advice. I do think he is a bit over the top in his way of thinking, but hey, a lot of people need to be extreme when they start out with this mindset because let's face it, a lot of people are in...

Jim Bauer I have not seen it, but I might put it on my list. I never watched "Last Man Standing," either. Not because I wasn't interested, but because I just never watched it and watch very little TV as it is. But I do like Tim Allen, and I am sure I would like the...

If Wishes Were Horses...

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (6823) • United States 13 Jul

Beggars would ride. Just wishing and hoping for something isn't enough. You have to actively seek the way to make your wishes come true. It involves hard work and dedication and possibly sacrificing the things you'd like right...

Jim Bauer Reminds me of an adapted saying; Good things come to those who wait. GREAT things come to those who actively pursue what they want. Nothing is free in life, and wishing doesn't make something so. Even winning the lottery requires SOME action. As for picking...

Kareng @kareng (77602) • United States 13 Jul

LindaOH @LindaOHio (194621) • United States 13 Jul
