trippyteresa @trippyteresa (87) 27 Feb 07

I have an 11 yr old son, over the last 12 months his behaviour has become increasingly defiant, he blatently ignores my wishes continuously, which often gets me cross, when i show signs of anger and frustration he smiles... man...

unclebeer Every child earns a spanking now and then. Kids these days are getting harder to control because of the trend toward not punishing them for their mistakes. My first instinct is to say Yes! Spank the child! But if he's eleven years old and has not had spanking...

Do You Ever Look At Ebay Ads Above Mylot Discussions?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28954) • Canada 24 Feb 07

I think it's absolutely wonderful that eBay is able to cater to our chosen interests when advertizing. I've not yet bought anything from these ads, but I have looked at them, when they have caought my interest. All kinds of new...

unclebeer I think the ebay ads are great, and that's coming from someone who hates to see advertisements. I see a lot of targeted ads up there for things that I would never have thought to look for. Obviously a bunch of 'junk' I don't need, but whenever I get my first...

Guys: Back off the custody battles

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 23 Feb 07

I have never understood the rationale of battling over "custody" of children. I have raised two kids and in the event of a divorce, my position was always clear: If you, the ex-wife, wants custody, you are welcome and that will go...

unclebeer Maybe this "idiot father" as you call him, actually cares for his children and wanted to raise them. As a father, there is no way in hell I would just sign over custody and allow my kids to be taken from me without a fight. I honestly can't believe what I'm...

Linux or Windows, wich one do you prefer/use?

manlynux @manlynux (271) • Romania 6 Feb 07

I am certainly using windows but i tried a few linux operating systems, it's kinda hard working on it since it doesn't support .exe files (there is a program called 'wine', it runs .exe aplication) but still, i can't do with it...

linux

windows

unclebeer I prefer Linux primarily because I cannot & will not pay hundreds of dollars for an operating system that crashes as often as windows does. My Linux machine will run for weeks or months at a time without crashing and without the need for a reboot. I can...

Why do stores even have express lanes?

nelltx @nelltx (277) • United States 5 Feb 07

I went to the store today, I bought 4 thing and headed to the express lane. There were 5 other lanes open, and all had people in them. Right before I get to the express lane, which as a HUGE sign '15 items or less', this guy with...

unclebeer To compound the problem, my local Hell-Mart will only sell tobacco products in the "express" lane, forcing people to either go through with 600 items or go put everything in their car, go back in, and wait in line a second time to buy their smokes.

unclebeer A few years ago I bought a 'soft' keyboard, I think from Radio Shack. It doesn't have that satisfying 'clack' that you may not be able to do without. Basically the entire thing is encased in a soft plastic. It's completely waterproof and can be rolled up...

Should we be paid more?

DocterDew @DocterDew (901) • United States 5 Feb 07

Think about the time you spend on this site each day? Do you really think the pay is fair for the time you spend on here? I mean a cent or two a post isn't very good. Do you people have any idea's on how they could raise the price...

unclebeer Well, I think you may be looking at this the wrong way. This is just another discussion forum, it's not a job. This is not an online newspaper that we're getting paid to write stories for. The money is just a perk to draw and retain quality posters. The...

Do you still use a film camera?

SwayingThunder @SwayingThunder (444) • United States 15 Jan 07

I, of course, do use a digital camera but I have to admit that I still love my 35mm camera. It's a Cannon Rebel. I guess I get this from my Dad who also has a love of film. I read where someone said that film is dead. I surly hope...

unclebeer Rebel is a hell of a camera. I still dust off my old Pentax every now and then, but film processing these days is just too expensive. Even if you go to one of those places (Hell-Mart, for example) where they ship it off and run it through a machine without...

Does The Street Sweeper Come Down Your Road?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 2 Feb 07

Do you even know what the street sweeper is? When I was growing up, over the years at my mother's house, I would love to watch the street sweeper go by. This kinda large bulky truck with bristles moving around underneath it...

unclebeer Where I live, the street sweeper operates on busy two lane roads during morning rush hour, forcing people to pass unsafely with oncoming school buses.
