    Do Looks Really Matter?

    I agree, I spend loads of money on: makeup, clothes, accessories etc...and I spend much time in front of the mirror every morning, and and also during the day. Looks are important to me, and that is also the reason I spend much money on hairdressers, facials a few times a year, manicure, working...

    What's your opinion on spanking children?

    I think so too, although I am not an expert (no kids myself yet)..I have never been beaten - just plain oral arguments did it for me when I was a kid....I think I will try to do the same with kids too.....:blush:

    Southern U.S. accents disappearing?

    HI Y'ALL! In fact, the Southern drawl is very charming. It is one of my favourite dialects to listen to! I love it when people speak with a Southern drawl..

    Smoke-free Belgium

    Wow, that is a nice move!!!! I hope Denmark will go down that road too!! I hate being in restaurants where there is no clear "smoking" and "non-smoking" sections. Being a non-smoker, I hate smelling smoke and ihaling their toxins when eating a meal...... Smokers are becoming more and more...

    Animals Animal Rights

    True, but if we could get human volunteers - I agree....in fact I volunteered to become a "guinea pig" a couple of years back when they wanted to research the affect of muscle tissue after some extensive exercise without the take of medicine (compared to people who took medicine in this...

    Illogical and irregular expressions in various languages

    oh, excuse me...You mentioned idioms in your first post, so I thought I could come up with at least one in Danish.....:-) I can at this thinking stage only contribute with one example, maybe more will come up later this weekend... In Danish we can say "unde", which is a verb very similar to...

    What are women's issues?

    I once sat through a whole documentary about this, which was depicting a minor girl in Africa who had it done.....her parents made her go through with it to be sure that she wouldn't have boyfriends (and have sex with them) before her marriage. However, the documentary didn't quite tell about...

    HUNTING: The Cruel Sport of Depravity

    I like to shoot with a pistol in a shooting range (0.22 caliber mostly). I don't shoot animals since I don't like the feeling of personally killing a deer or a bird just for the fun of it. I know many hunters, and some have tried to convince me into shooting with them, however, I have always...

    Illogical and irregular expressions in various languages

    I can relate!!! Since Danish is very similar to German in many ways (Germanic language).... überhaupt is "Overhovedet" in Danish, meaning "at all" in English too. However, the strict translation would be: "over head." Another weird illogical saying in Danish is: "Bjoernetjeneste" = "doing a...

    Politics What are the criteria defining a country ?

    I am glad that I still have my Christmas holidays (going back to work on Monday), so I have time to visit the fora more frequently....I almost forgot the interesting threads which quite often pop up. :wave: I am sorry if there are sentences left out, mispellings occur, or I am repeating...

    Politics What are the criteria defining a country ?

    In my opinion, the EU can in most cases be qualified as a country, and hopefully will be recognised as one in the future (my wish).:cool: The member (nation-)states of the EU are still regarded as nation-states because they have parliaments represented by the people in each member state and...

    Politics What are the criteria defining a country ?

    At first, a nation can be characterised by social, political, and cultural constructions, which may be collectively experienced. However, a homogeneity of any sort, e.g. linguistic, religious, cultural, is not the key to definition. Let us look at the Swiss for example, they are characterised...

    Animals Animal Rights

    I have voted. Hitting pets is wrong, and experiments done on animals for cosmetics is wrong. "GO GO BODY SHOP" Experiments done on animals for medical reasons is OK I guess, since it can cure illnesses and save human lives. I eat meat, as long as animals have not suffered when slaughtered. I...

    Do men speak more about themselves than women ?

    I have voted : "Probably not so much difference." However, I should perhaps have voted for: "depends on personality" or more: "depends on personality, but overall men are good at talking about themselves" If I take all the people I know who has a great self-confidence and accomplishments, I...
