Calling the police to stop singing (noisy) neighbors at night. Fair or not?

gyouswe911 @gyouswe911 (273) • Philippines 26 Mar 09

Most of the time whenever a neighbor is having party and its nearest neighbor is being annoyed by it, they would call the police to tell those people to wind down. Now the police will tell the partying neighbor about their...

theproperator And if you wanted to go steal the neighbors car, or spray paint bad words on their house? Do you have the right to do that, since it is "what you want to do"? You only have rights to the extent that they do not infringe on the rights of others. You have the...

Would You Break the Law to See a Dying Family Member?

knowledgeocity @knowledgeocity (39) • United States 27 Mar 09

I know we all should follow traffic laws at all times, but there are times where you just have to break it. I heard on the radio yesterday that a Houston Texans football player Ryan Moats ran a red light to see his dying mother...

theproperator This would be a very different discussion if Moats had T-boned another car while running that red light and killed someone. The fact that fate did not place a mini-van full of toddlers in that intersection is the only reason everyone is hating on the cop. I'm...

theproperator Yes, it would be patronizing.

theproperator That is the dumbest thing I've every heard. It is true that being out in the cold is not what makes you sick, you have to come in contact with a germ or virus. However, it would have to be below freezing for an extended period to actally kill a cold virus out...

Is it rude to request no children at my wedding?

godara @godara (59) • India 24 Mar 09

On a wedding invitation there is a note -I kind of do not want children, especially under 10, at my wedding due to the fact that they make noises throughout the ceremony and there will be alcohol at the reception. Is it not rude...

theproperator It could be percieved as rude. Most people are under the impression that thier children are perfect and everyone likes having them around, so I would not be surprised if they took offence. If there are many guests who have children, it would be a good idea to...

Are the technology and gadgets shown on CSI for real

Pitstop @pitstop (14930) • Australia 19 Mar 09

CSI really amazes me with the way they use technology, gizmos and gadgets to investigate crimes and crime scenes. Are these for real or just dramatized? Do cops and investigation teams routinely use these to find out criminals and...

theproperator As far as I know, all of the gadgets they use on the show really do exist, but they are very expensive, so not all crime labs have all the stuff they do on the show. Most labs would be lucky to have half the stuff they use on an episode. Also, a lot of the...

theproperator I love myPoints! I've been a member for several years. Usually, the cards come within two weeks when I redeem them, though I think the website says it can take as long as 4 or 6 weeks to receve them.

theproperator I think it is certainly an issue that should be discussed before marriage. If the two don't agree, it is sure to cause problems or even divorce down the road. As for having babies being "part of the deal" of marriage, I don't agree with that. Plenty of...

theproperator Just turn it off and unplug it. If she's only 1 1/2, it's not like she is going to sneak and turn it back on when you are gone. Give her other things to do, like coloring books and toys. Take her outside to play. As she gets older, only give her a limited...

Obama & Osama; their spellings have striking similarities!

prashantatrohini18 @prashantatrohini18 (212) • India 19 Mar 09

Although they are 2 very different individuals, yet there is a striking similarity in their names. The only difference being the two letters B & S. Amazing isn't it?

Can you really open your car door using your cellphone?

zahfran @zahfran (851) • Singapore 18 Mar 09

theproperator The only way I know to actually open you car with a cell phone is if you have OnStar installed in your car. If you lock yourself out, you can call them and they can remotely unlock your car for you.

theproperator Cats can see far better inthe dark than people can. Also, they do not have fear of the dark like humans have; no one tells them ghost stories to frighten them. :-) Your kitten will be fine without a night light.

Do you save money in the bank?

marquis @marquis (159) • Philippines 16 Mar 09

theproperator I have my paycheck automatically deposited into my savings account each payday. I can withdraw only what I actually need when I need it, rather than be tempted to spend some right away because it is payday.

theproperator I haven't been watching it as much since, lately. Since Grissom left, I've probably only seen 1 or 2 episodes. The episodes themselves seem to be quite good, though. I will probably watch more once I am not so busy at work, too.

theproperator I believe you would technically be called "third cousins" since you share a set of great-great grandparents in common. So, yeah, calling her cousin is completly legitimate. Legally, though, she would not be considered immediate family, I suppose. Also, a lot...
