I use a fork. It's fun to twirl spaghetti

Does multilingualism interfere with your thought processes? No. Once I start thinking in one language I tend to continue to think in that language. I can also think simultaneously in two languages but I can't tell whether my thought process slows down or not. Speaking is also not a problem...

Religion in itself is not the problem. What causes all the misery we attribute to religion is the people who abuse it to justify their greed/ambition/megalomania/whatnot. How many times have you seen leaders use religion to justify their cause? The declaration "It is the will of God!" has...

Hindi seems to fit me best. Dutch and British English tie for second spot.

I read that story too and found it really disturbing. Poor kid. I wish people were more openminded to differences in upbringing between cultures. :( Anyway, Here's a short list of table manners in the Philippines: 1. Use a spoon and fork. Use a knife if necessary to cut food into manageable...

It's only prudent to lock your door. It avoids a lot of grief later on.

They've finished translating it!? I thought they were still trying to restore the scroll. It' be very interesting to know what is written there. Ever since I heard about the dead sea scrolls and the other texts that were not included in the Bible I've become curious as to what they contained...

Economic Left/Right: -7.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33 Left wing libertarian. Weird. On the other quiz (shortest political quiz) I got statist.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 40%. Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 20%. that makes me a STATIST. hmmm... _____ I mistakenly selected liberal statist on the poll instead of statist. sorry my bad.

I do. Once in a while especially when I'm in a hurry and someone beat me to the cr. I don't brush where people are eating though or where people can see.

Marriage is a valuable resource. Governments, religious groups and society in general confine marriage to the male-female configuration simply because alternatives do not benefit them as much. By benefit I mean producing children. For any group to perpetuate, its members have to procreate...

I may forgive easily but I do not forget. Also, apologies make forgiving easy. I find it hard to remain angry for long and it's too troublesome anyway to be angry. Your day is ruined and you get stressed and morally tired afterwards. I feel it is better to just let things slide especially if the...

I believe common sense depends a lot on the person's experiences, level of education and comprehension of lessons learned from both past experience and study.

I have in the past, mostly at parties. It was fun. It gets even better mixed with brownies. :-)

Fashion does not necessarily dictate unless you allow it to. Yes it is a waste of resources and very financially draining but that depends on the person. If one likes to be trendy one should be prepared to spend. Others keep in fashion but don't spend as much. Cheap alternatives abound. Ditto...

Parmesan is a bit expensive so I usually use cheddar. Anybody here tried Philippine-style spaghetti? The flavor really goes well with cheddar.

Live and let live I say. Everyone should have their pick of what they want for themselves. Ideally of course. It's very difficult to beat centuries of indoctrination. I've no problem with gay people. I find them fun to be with.

Nope. I don't smoke. I've tried it though and I did not like it at all. That was way back in high school. Actually it was for practice so I could try weed next. Weed is fun. Didn't make it a habit though. Just puffed some at parties.
