People don't punctuate, or spell correctly, or complete a sentence. Is this because we're getting lazy? Or because our lifestyles have become so fast we don't have time? Or maybe because the melting pot of many different cultures has influenced the language? Is it technology? Or is it that the language is too complicated and we're becoming less educated? Your thoughts on the matter would be very appreciated!! I'm seriously curious. And any links to publishings on the matter would rock my socks off too!

This concept was first brought to my attention a few years ago in the film of the same name.

I now believe that when someone does a good deed for me or my family, instead of doing a good deed back to that person, I do a good deed for someone else. I always explain this to the persons involved so that they then have the opportunity of carrying it on.

Do you think this is a good idea, and, if so, why?
If not, why not?

Possibly it's too late however will all the other taxes about, the 'few' who make decisions for the BBC should start advertising and remove the license fee.

Like houses, the service and programs are not worth the price people are having to pay!

Why do ppl say that hispanics dont work for their money when they are by the freeway?Most ive seen are selling flowers. yet so many americans are out by the freeways with signs saying that they are war veterans of war or that they need money for medicine and stuff like that and ppl are suppossed to feel bad for them. atleast the hispanics arent just asking for the money, they are working for it even though its not an actual job.

Wanted to come to work at 1pm, cause we are having visitors at home and i haven't seen them for months. Manager wants me to start work at 12 so the others girls can have their lunch break.

Not fair, the visitors might not come before 12.

Last week on Friday i didn't even have a lunch break because we where short of staff, and one girl went home sick.

I could have chose to take the whole day off. Should i tell her it's not fair, i want to start work at 1pm.

What I really want to know is why every choice a person makes plays some kind of part to feeding into one's self-esteem? Why do we as a whole feel the need to be something, or someone that we truly are not? What drives the average person to seek the feeling of being so important? Or so insignificant that they have their life worst then everyone else? Because it seems to me that every choice big or small is soull made based on how it makes us feel. All comments welcome!!

It's occurred to me that in this world where everyone tries to be politically correct all the time, the truth is, A LOT of stereotypes are just plain true. But people get mad when you say so. I think that people need to admit to themselves that a lot of stereotypes are true. Why else would they exist? People don't just assign random attributes to groups of people. They have to come from somewhere. Right? What makes stereotypes wrong is when people assume a stereotype applies to ALL people. For example, I think it's true that many Asians can't drive, but to meet an Asian who I've never seen drive and assume he can't drive- that would be wrong. Many black people can dance- but that doesn't mean they ALL can dance. So, what do you people think? Am I right or wrong in your opinion?

It's twenty to four in the morning (UK). I just got out of bed to use the loo and I thought I heard voices outside this is unusual as we live in a really quiet part of the village away from the main road and pubs, can hear a pin drop after dark. I peered through the blinds as I was concerned that it might be someone up to no good. When I looked it was three strapping young men strolling past, can of what looked like beer in hand and absolutely butt naked, I couldn't believe my eyes! I had been awake a while so I wasn't still half asleep and no I don't take anything and I haven't had a drink for weeks. It was a hilarious! I can't imagine where they were going, hope the nosey old lady across the road didn't see or the Police will be out after them.
All I can say is they're either very stupid or very brave it's cold and wet out there! Kids the things they'll do for a laugh, better than stealing cars or burgling I suppose! Well they cheered me up anyhow haven't laughed as much in ages!

I'm doing more research on the culture of Israel. Basically, I'm curious as to whether or not it's correct to state that some people do stop to kneel and pray during their daily regimens. Or is this practice only done in their homes?
Thank you for any insight that you can offer.

I do kinda get obsessed about the whole bra issue, but I can't help it. Just wondering if there's other understanding women out there that would be ok with this, and possibly get some enjoyment out of it, maybe shopping for intimates together, or picking up something special for your man to wear out for you?

This was our first home and we didn't have a lot of stuff to fill a 4 bedroom home. So we told them that if they don't want to haul everything away we would love to keep it. We were expecting a few things but they left everything. We eat off of her dishes, drink out of her cups, and take showers with her shower curtain. I'm not bothered with it but sometimes I think about it. Would anybody be extremely bothered by it, or would you think it was a great deal.

Every night, i get up at the middle of the night, like 3-5am EVERY NIGHT. to get something to eat, I eat pizza rolls, hot pockets, and chicken wings, bought with the money i stole from my parents.(I needed food, I have nothing to eat at night) Whether Hungry or not, I HAVE to eat in order to go back to sleep. When my mother catches me eating chicken wings, she throws them away(thats her money she threw away), and sends me to my room, i was so hungry, nobody understands that i have to eat in order to go back to sleep.
