Awinds @Awinds (2468) • United States 14 Jul 11

You kid just reached eighteen, or your adult child is coming home again because they graduated college but have been unable to find a job. Do you charge them rent? Why or why not? Should parents not charge rent because of the...

terryt52 If my child does not have a job and no means of paying board then how could you charge him. I worked two jobs to make sure my son had a college education. I paid his entire college and he obtained an excellent job. I paid his college, gave him a gas allowance,...

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 15 Jun 11

Does anyone still have a landline? I don't but I kinda miss having one. I miss sitting at the desk doodling on paper while I hold the bulky receiver to my ear. Or sitting on the couch twisting the cord up after I dial the loud...

terryt52 I have a cell phone but I have kept my land line and refuse to give it up. I treat my cell phone as an out of house phone so the people I love can get ahold of me if they need me. My land line will stay and I will use it as a way to keep in touch when I am in...

Were people always so self serving?

megamatt @megamatt (14290) • United States 21 Apr 11

I think to an extent they were, but not to the extent that they are today. It is just a byproduct of a changing world. People are struggling and a lot of them are dealing with struggles in a way that might not be the best....

terryt52 I find the younger generation self centered and self serving. I think that it is very disappointing. I for one would not step on anyones toes to get ahead instead I would let them go first. I think that most parents are failing to teach their children what...

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 21 Apr 11

I called them because 3 people told me to. Other than that I should have a full body scan, they mostly wanted to know my insurance and address to send me info. My Drs here don't want the full body scan, they say they know where...

terryt52 Did you try getting the information on the internet. You could probably read up on them. Call your insurance company and ask them if they cover it they will tell you. I had cancer and I know what you are going through. God Bless you and I will pray for you.

soul_life24 @soul_life24 (18) • United States 21 Apr 11

terryt52 Yes you can cope. If I were you I would ask God for help and maybe join a church that you are comfortable with. Spill your guts to your lady friend. You need some one to talk to. You have had many bumps in the road but that is what they are bumps and when you...

terryt52 It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I find it hard to believe that he would leave his child in a bath tub to go shopping. It is beyond me how all our innocent children are just being killed by their parents, it seem every day you read a...

terryt52 I guess you would read all that and assume the economy is improving. However if you would ask the middle class american people I would think you would get a different response. Gas is over 4 dollars a gallon. People are forced to take jobs making so much less...

Should healthcare be free?

oscar6 @oscar6 (1938) • United States 14 Apr 11

Here in America, we have to pay for our healthcare yet places like Cuba and France have free medical care. Do you think healthcare should be free in every country? why or why not?

terryt52 Health care is never free we will be taxed for it. If you researched the countries with free health care and the results of the care they receive you will think twice. Obama Care is exactly what these countries have. You have to wait your turn even if you have...

terryt52 I agree with you. However I think society expects for us to still have manners and we should indeed. I have an autistic daughter and her manners are excellent. I make sure of that. It is a parents job to teach their children manners as well as the school...

Good deeds are what our world needs......

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 11 Apr 11

terryt52 Just what the school systems need MORE MONEY...I am so tired of this education bull crap. It does not go to better educate the children. If so maybe The King Obama should tell us how. Oh Yes..Higher salary and benefits for the teachers. Even the ones that do...

Not paying for your abortion is like bombing civilians?!?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 7 Apr 11

According to D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, banning the use of tax dollars to pay for abortion is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians, so let me get this straight, not allowing you to kill...

terryt52 Tax paying dollars pay for birth control. I would suggest we keep paying for birth control. If they want an abortion (killing of a human life) then I suggest they pay for it themselves. I do not think there should be a comparison. Shame on Delegate Eleanor...
