Are my opinions of this county those of my father?

Morgan Drake Eckstein @morgandrake (2136) • United States 25 May 07

Today, I was reading an article on how to raise patriotic children, and it reminded me of my father. My father was proud to be an American. Whenever anyone would ask him what nationality he was, he would answer American. Woe to...

thegoodkitty My belief is that almost everything children think, and how they function.. it just about all comes from upbringing. Of course, I hate generalizations and I shy away from absolutes, so I'm not saying everything, but it seems to be very close to it. A lot is...

Would you ever donate your eggs to a friend so she could have a baby?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 1 Jun 07

I just heard a story of this woman who donated her eggs to a woman so the couple could have a baby. Honestly, I don't think I could do it, cause everytime I saw the kid, I would feel like she or he were my child. And, I...

thegoodkitty I'm inclined to say I'd only be able to donate my eggs if it were entirely anonymous and I would never see the child. Otherwise, it would be far too difficult. I want to take home every child I see already =P Knowing that a child came from /my/ egg and that I...

thegoodkitty I could drink the tap water here in Florida, but I prefer to use the filtered water from my fridge. I understand your surprise when you see the water with so many things added to it - I hate water like that. I only opt for bottled water that has been purified...

thegoodkitty I definitely agree that you should look into counseling if you haven't already. I was diagnosed with ADD (also no hyperactivity) about a year ago, and more than anything else, the counseling has been a huge help. I highly recommend counseling before you try...

If strangers smile at you, would you smile back?

lirael @lirael (501) • Philippines 28 May 07

They say smile is infectious, and that you should always share it. But if the smile came from someone you don't know, would you smile back? Or would you just avert your eyes and just go on your way without returning the smile?

thegoodkitty Yeah.. I'd return the smile. And then as soon as they're out of eyesight, make scared faces at your friend. Unless you're by yourself. Then you'd look like a freak.

thegoodkitty I know the issue. I hate being faced with that decision. Hypocritically, I'm going to recommend that you decide based on what you /actually/ want. You'll likely never have to face her again, and she may not even notice that you've declined the request if she's...

If a foreign language could be planted in your brain . . .

thegoodkitty I have 71 friends. I know all of them (there are a few bands/actors, however). I don't /like/ all of them, but knowing them all is more than I can say for some people. I just don't see the point adding people to whom you have never spoken. I use MySpace to...

If you saw the most boring and stupid performanc.. will you still clap

doingit4fun @doingit4fun (917) • United States 18 Jan 07

When I go any speech, seminar or performance which I thought was stupid and boring I don't feel like clapping at the end. Am I obligated to clap just because everybody is clapping?

Do You Doodle In Class?
