What do you think about Hybrid cars?

smartie1685 @smartie1685 (450) • United States 27 Feb 07

For my physics class I was reading about gasoline-electric hybrid cars and although I've heard of them before it made me really want to get one. They are a lot safer for the environment, use less gas, and the get up to 60 miles to...

TruthElixirX Hybrids are terrible and are only to make you think you are helping the environment. They can't even pass a standard emissions test. They are more harmful than a hummer!

Do you often go back and read responses to discussions you've started?

jollyjeangiant @jollyjeangiant (219) • United States 24 Apr 07

I regularly read the responses to discussions that I've started (and when I was new, I tried to respond to all the thoughtful responses, but I've given this up due to time constraints now). I find that's more for curiosity's sake...

Do you hang out with people who talk more or less than you?

jollyjeangiant @jollyjeangiant (219) • United States 23 Apr 07

There's an old theory that in every relationship, someone's the talker and someone's the listener. In groups, this can get much more complicated. Which are you better at? Which are you usually? Does this change when you're around...
