Yes, I should have gone to the dentist more often. I should have flossed regularly. I should have brushed my teeth after every meal. When one is young, with near perfect teeth (actually my teeth were never perfect), one never thinks that poor dental hygiene can cause one so much suffering and misery, and nightmares. I had my first tooth decay when I

I'm going to wait a year or two. I still have my PS2 and a few good titles I haven't finished playing yet. The limited number of sets is pushing prices way high and there's no point buying it now when there's no very many good games to play on it. The prices will definetly drop, just like the psp did. PSP is now half the price it was when it was first released.

I don't have any experience as a parent. But I have to wonder if there is anything a parent can do if the kid is born a psychopath, with a lack of conscience. Is there such a thing or is that just tabloid nonsense? I would imagine long term abuse could cause a child to switch his reasoning off and become non-feeling, dehumanized, such a way that hurting others would be a way of getting back or the only way they know how to relate to others. For those serial killers who have no

I used to wonder if they could hide those teeth, but there isn't a escalator in the world that isn't constructed like that.I suppose without them, the gap would be wider and the steps would be more slippery.

I'm on GMT +8 which is within an hour or two or your time zone. I'm on the island city nation of Singapore, chucked south of Malaysia and north of Indonesia. Tropical equatorial climates, lots of gardens, strict laws (which we are most famous for), lots of shopping, lots of crowds, lots of tall buildings to make efficient space for 4-5 million people.

I think this is done on purpose. Sometimes you feel like ranting to the world, yet you feel like holding back? It amazes me when my friends can type like that, but I find it harder to try to think of those short forms. But hey, Louby, maybe she didn't want to tell you she had changed her mind about helping you because she's afraid you might be get mad at her. Besides, after the way she treated Andy, I'm sure you can't be surprised by her actions.

Just adding encouragement here. Keep up the good work and hope for more great writes, guys! I'm short of time and terrible at these sort of things, so I'll be hanging back. Will be dropping in an insightful or interesting to those I see taking part in this.

Nicky: It's one of those things that just shouldn't happen. I'm really sad that kid had to be scarred like that. Zoo: The opposite effect might happen though when they realise the world is not as dangerous as you claim though. Serernity: Yeah. Our subways have rather fast moving escalators, they can be rather dangerous especially for a pregnant woman. Dynamaso:

What happened the other day was a child riding on the escalator in town had a terrible accident. Apparently, while riding on the escalator, the kid's rubber shoe had somehow gotten caught at the side and the escalator had dragged her shoe along with her big toe right into its machinery, ripped it right off. It was on the news. They showed the poor kid, fa

I'm opposite of you. I'm quite anti-social. I don't mind be alone at all. I like being with a close friend sometimes, but I can't take it if I see that person for too many days in a row. I'm kinda weird like that.

The toilets in our workplace is sensor switched like that. They used to have it on for 5 minutes; ladies always found themselves suddenly in the dark. They've extended the time frame to 30 minutes. (BTW, thanks for the welcome back, Chip.)

While PS3 will probably be my console of choice, I don't think I'm going to buy it until the price comes down considerably. The limited number of sets available at launch has the effect of driving prices up. And the price is crazy -- I can buy a pretty good gaming computer with that money. I'll be keeping tracks until the price drops and the console has a considerable library of good games. I'm not done with my PS2 yet anyway. </font

I knew something was going to happen the minute I saw the topic. Nonetheless, on with the discussion. To be fair, yes there are advantages to PC, and yes I can see that the PC is a better gaming machine than a non-modable console. You can download more stuff, mods and levels for a game, plus more options and more control. That is what I left behind when I left pc gaming. I don't miss the hassle of upgrading and patching. Rather use the time and money on more games, so it's give and take

Welcome to the dark side, BlueDev. As they say, we always have more fun. I stopped being a PC gamer about two years ago and I haven't been missing much. Yeah there had been some titles that I wish I can have a gaming pc to play but the hassle isn't worth it. I've also found that my computer doesn't go kaput as quickly as when it was used as a gaming pc.

I'm leaving place, you nasty people. I'm leaving and I'm not coming back. I'm not even going to look at this post anymore. Do what you want. I'm going. You won't see me again. I'm not mad at all.I'll be laughing my way out the door. You'll all be worse without me. La-la-la...
