I think that I'd rather talk to my parents-from-the-past. Just pass them by as a stranger and talk to them, saying something like 'the best part of having a child is you don't know who they'll grow up to be, your son could end up doing physics at university or could travel the world singing' and...

Ever since I have been a child I cannot bear to emotionally hurt another. I think it's because I was lucky enough to grow up in a loving environment :) also one memory I haveof when I was little I was naughty and my dad got really angry at me, I think knowing that I made him angry made me...

Good question... I may need some time to think up an answer! (or I could leave it for someone else who's better informed, but that would be taking the fun out of it now wouldn't it?) :D but seriously you have me thinking Chessie!

I agree, it's a sad state that we have to defend ourselves from violence using violence.

To Norton; I must admit Norton, I don't really like what you are saying, but I can't help but find myself agreeing, with most of it at least! You make a very good point about our lack of appreciation of our own freedom, and about how our comfortable lives are run on the bloodshed in the middle...

Here's an interesting video I think you people may want to watch, it's helped me understand and empathize with those in Iraq who may be considered a terrorist. Although the actions of Osama himself are atrocious, this does not mean that his followers are themselves 'pure evil'. This has made me...

To Septemptus - Your right, killing so many people is an act that is almost impossible to forgive, but let's say, if he served his time and was forgiven, and was genuinely sorry for what he did, that would create space for understanding to grow between 'us' and 'them', which would probably be...

What about forgiving? I was watching the news, when I saw some reporters discussing a newspaper article about this. The paper seemed to be broadsheet (as opposed to speculation-filled tabloid papers), but the headline said loud and clear; "He died cowering behind his wife." Now, I think that no...

On a personal level, I love eye-contact! Gazing into people's eyes allows me to gleam a small understanding of their identities, and if I am attracted to the person as well, I can usually find myself getting lost in their eyes... It's a wonderful feeling but at the same time I have to agree that...

At the moment, I am at college, playing the trombone in bands and I sing too :) My family are musical also. I completely agree that music should be about the freedom of creating, i would say my influences are a band called The Kings of Convenience and a composer called Eric Whitacre. It's really...

Hmm well I dont usually like to talk to people (even those I am close to) on the phone. As I cant see their faces I dont feel like I am having a proper conversation with them. As for my mobile, let's just say there isnt much chance of you contacting me on that! Funnily enough, I had this same...
