ScrappinHappyMom @ScrappinHappyMom (914) • United States 4 Feb 07

For some strange reason my normally respectful loving son turns into a disrespective backmouthing cool guy everytime one of his friends comes over. We have talked about until I just can't talk anymore, so today when he started...

xxclairexxj I think you'll find that he's just being a teenager. The person who said ban him from seeing his friends is totally wrong. You will just make him more angry. You shouldn't have tried to show him up like that either. You will just turn him more against you. You...

How sinful is makeup?

BlueBell101 @BlueBell101 (192) • Canada 5 Feb 07

I just got back from the Calfornia Coast in the US and well it was a real eye opener....First thing, I gave my 8 year old neice 3 Alba Terra Tints Neutral Lip balms for a Late Christmas gift. Second thing is she goes to a Catholic...

xxclairexxj I think a simple lip balm is a bit different to plastering a child's face in makeup or allowing them to go out dressed like a tart! I think she was wrong to take the lip balm away and If there is someone higher than her that you can talk to, you should do...

Is lethal injection a humane way to execute someone?

flesher2006 @flesher2006 (26) • United States 17 Dec 06

Recently in the news I saw a story about a boched execution. The execution took over 30 minutes to be completed. Normally it takes around 15 minutes, and is supposed to be painless. later medical examiners found extensive chemical...

xxclairexxj I think if they were to execute someone in a really humane way, surely the way to do it would to be give them a general anaesthetic first? It works so we can't feel operations etcc so why not do the same for the lethal injection? At least that way no pain...

I Want to Be A Cadaver!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 17 Dec 06

Why do we bury the bodies our loved ones aren't using anymore? More to the point, why do we bury them intact? I mean, we drain the blood from them, fill them with preservatives, casket them, vault them, and then stick them in the...

xxclairexxj It's probably not something people think of too much to be honest. Also the families might not like the thought of their loved ones being cut up and used in experiments etc. I know it would help so many people to donate organs and every body should do it but I...

xxclairexxj I think it's the fault of the shop keeper. I can't see that it would keep happening to be honest. Sooner or later the shop staff will see that this girl is making a mistake because receipts etc won't add up. As bad as it sounds, I wouldn't worry about it. It's...

xxclairexxj Just tell her that there is a no smoking rule and that's it. If she continues, speak to the landlord/person in charge. They will be able to remove her from the house. Whilst you can't stop her from smoking outside and smelling of smoke, you have a right to...

xxclairexxj Children do that! They point out the obvious without thinking of people's feelings because they don't do it to purpously be horrible. They are merely stating the facts about what they see. I'm glad the lady didn't take it badly. She would obviously feel a bit...

cute_missmary @cute_missmary (3866) • United States 12 Dec 06

Second-hand smoke and the effect on children?

richelle19_80 @richelle19_80 (133) • United States 12 Dec 06

Should the legal age to marry be lowered to 13 years old ?

cclay34 @cclay34 (486) • United States 12 Dec 06

Since so many young girls aged 13-17 years old become pregnant and thus become unwed mothers, wouldnt it be wise to lower the age limit for marriage back down to 13 or 14 years old like it was in the 40's and 50's and force the...

xxclairexxj All that will happen is there will be a lot more divorce. I think back in the 40s and 50s people generally had more respect and didn't get pregant just for benefit money. I've said it before, if the age was raised at which child benefit could be claimed then...

DO YOU USE PLASTIC CARRY BAGS?

naveen338 @naveen338 (458) • India 12 Dec 06

xxclairexxj The supermarket I go to in the UK sells what they call bags for life. They are 5p each and are really tough. When they wear out, they can be replaced for free. I use these because it's a lot better than polluting the environment with carrier bags.
