Answer to if ever in a situation were you had to cut off both of your legs with a knife to survive, would you?

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:22:12 -0700

if ever in a situation were you had to cut off both of your legs with a knife to survive, would you?

One of those things you can't really know the answer to, until it happens, at least for me. If I had to guess, I think I wouldn't be able to do it, even with the promise of death. I have absolutely no tolerance for pain and I'm not sure I'm strong enough to cut through bone anyways. But who...

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:50:21 -0700

What is a really good book for a 13 year old tomboy to read

When people see the books I read, they usually say I'm either a tomboy, weird, or crazy, and I'm not sure which book is which most of the time. Some of them have 'mature' content and some are often found as part of school curriculum. Personally I try to read any book that sounds good before a...

Have you ever read a book that really gave you the Heebie-Jeebies?

Twilight. Not scary in the horror kind of way, that stuff doesn't really get to me. Twilight creeps me out because Edward reminds me of three different guys who were dating people close to me, and all of them were abusive. If you wrote out descriptions of the personalities and behaviours of each...

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:18:31 -0700

If a crazed gunman begins shooting people at random,if he was facing the other way; Would you tackle him if you could ? Or hide? run? what?

Knowing how I usually react in scary situations, I think I'd freeze up, but I've been lucky enough to avoid anything as bad as a crazed gunman so I can't really say for sure.

Well, it's not so much enjoying negative attention, exactly - more like, any attention is better than none. Not good, just not as bad. It's more about insecurity than enjoyment in that case.

Answer to Imagine this. You're in the middle of the desert,there is nothing around, absolutely nothing. Suddenly you hear a door slam.. How would you react?

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 03:29:20 -0700

Imagine this. You're in the middle of the desert,there is nothing around, absolutely nothing. Suddenly you hear a door slam.. How would you react?

Well, if I'm in the middle of the desert, I'd imagine it would be an auditory hallucination, which I experience fairly frequently. So I'd probably be somewhat jumpy and paranoid after that, and look around every half-minute, just to make sure.

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:25:38 -0800

What are your thoughts about Canada people?

As a Canadian person, I think we're pretty well-rounded. And thank the deities for our health-care, man... I think there's WAY too much influence from the US, which in my opinion stems mainly from inattentiveness on the part of us Canadians. It's like, people hear, "Bla bla...

Answer to How long were you with your BF or GF before telling them you love them. Was it too soon or not soon enough?

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:16:54 -0800

How long were you with your BF or GF before telling them you love them. Was it too soon or not soon enough?

After a month, he said he loved me, and I said I loved him back, but I didn't mean it. We broke up within a week. But that might be more about my newfound orientation.

What things are all right when your age has only got 1 digit, but won't wash with people when your age gets into 2 digits?

Picking your nose, fixing a wedgie in public, and falling asleep just about anywhere you want. Oh, and asking for someone to come with you to the washroom, or stay and watch for monsters while you sleep.

How do you act toward guys you suspect are gay?

Well, are you friends or what? How do you normally act towards guys? Geeze, this is a weird question. How can we possibly tell you how to treat some guy? We don't know how you feel about him! I mean, if it were me, I'd probably be all, hey, guy, go get me a soda. And he'd be all,...

Answer to Why are gay people discriminated against?

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:04:55 -0800

Why are gay people discriminated against?

Because of close-minded parents raising close-minded kids, Christians quoting Scriptures without reading them first, and because not enough is being done to stop the discrimination. Plenty is done by the gays, but not enough is being put in by the straight people, even those who support us.

Answer to Mommies stay home and cook and clean and take care of her babies and daddies are the breadwinners. Agree or disagree and why?

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:02:17 -0800

Mommies stay home and cook and clean and take care of her babies and daddies are the breadwinners. Agree or disagree and why?

Disagree. What on EARTH would the poor homosexual couples do with their adopted children? Why, the gay boys would be attacked mercilessly by Social Services, and the lesbians would live on the streets where the 'phobes could rip into them at any given moment!

Answer to What is your opinion of Christianity in the world today? What do you think of the people, practices, beliefs etc.?

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 04:56:17 -0800

What is your opinion of Christianity in the world today? What do you think of the people, practices, beliefs etc.?

I have nothing against people following a cause they believe in strongly. Those who follow to avoid damnation, to ease guilt, because they were raised and conditioned to follow, and ESPECIALLY those who don't even scratch the surface of the religion, or who quote what they haven't even...

Answer to Do you buy easter eggs for yourself or just for children?

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 07:39:47 -0800

Do you buy easter eggs for yourself or just for children?

Well, I'm 15. Don't have to pay for my own just yet, especially since I have a 9 yr old sister. People lump families into 'parents' and 'kids' until one child does something particularly unchildlike, such as bringing a date to a family dinner or getting a job. So...

Answer to What were some of the "lies" your parents told you to try to get you to stop some bad habit? My example - "Don't pick your nose, you'll pull your eye out."

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:40:04 -0800

What were some of the "lies" your parents told you to try to get you to stop some bad habit? My example - "Don't pick your nose, you'll pull your eye out."

None. My parents have always been very careful to demonstrate honesty. As soon as I was old enough to comprehend the idea of Santa and the Tooth Fairy, they would tell me (gently) that each year they put presents under the tree, and that the ones signed Santa at Grandma's house had been done...

I have a running battle every night with my 6 yr old trying to get her to bed at reasonable time so she isnt tired out at school, I am starting to dread this time of day, any suggestions please?

Take her to a bookstore and find a good novel that she is interested in, or find one that you are sure will grab her attention. Now tell her that if she has a good night, you will read a chapter the next night. My mom used to stand in my doorway, glaring at me, when I was about that age, after...

Answer to How can I get my 3-year-old to behave??? I don't spank and she enjoys time-outs. She gets more defiant and disobedient every day. I am so frustrated, what can I try?

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:22:34 -0800

How can I get my 3-year-old to behave??? I don't spank and she enjoys time-outs. She gets more defiant and disobedient every day. I am so frustrated, what can I try?

Next time she runs to the time-out chair, tell her no. Give her a good lecture, making sure she does nothing but sit still, listen, and keep eye contact. This is basically a time-out without any option for fun, although more draining for the adult. You could also try simple chores, then every...

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:21:40 -0800

Has anyone ever done something and felt so guilty about doing it they told their parents what they did and asked for a spanking?

No, I wouldn't ask for a spanking, but I have confessed otherwise undetectable misbehaviour to my parents many, many times, in my opinion due to a close bond with my mother and the honesty policy (if you tell the truth, you will still be punished for what you did wrong, but not as harshly....

My 15 y/o son just got busted for possession of pot & a pipe. Should I let him go to juvy? I don't know what else to do & it's hard to discipline a kid that is bigger than me. Any suggestions?

Take him to a therapist, especially if he's talking about suicide. At the very least, make him see a school counselor. SOMEBODY. Tell them your situation and they can refer you to local professionals and specialists. Do not send him to juvy; do it yourself. Juvy, rehab, none of that ever...

Answer to I have a 7 year old who loves to back talk and call everyone in the household names. How can I stop this without hitting him?

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 04:58:01 -0800

I have a 7 year old who loves to back talk and call everyone in the household names. How can I stop this without hitting him?

The best thing to do (in my opinion) would be to explain why these words are deemed unacceptable and try to get him to picture himself in the other person's shoes whenever he calls a name. If that doesn't work, when I was about that age, my mum started using exercise as a punishment....
