Hi The thing is Iam not "paranoid". But I have had one of my best friends turned into a victim and it wasnt like she was not careful or something, She didnt realize when it happened though she does not remember drinking anything that her date had offered her. She only faintly remembers her date sticking his finger in her mouth when they were kissing.Iam very sorry if I sounded paranoid but It is a thing that is happening and like the girl above you dont have to be party animals. They have to just drink water in the guy's house and they are spiked.Iam not paranoid or something, Its just that I was wondering about the awareness people have regarding the drugs used, Either way I dont want to sounfd defensive or snappy. In the end this forum is for everybody's individual perspectivesCheers,

Hi,Wow this is one story,I had read this once , My boss had showm me this page. But at that time I could not put up a post but now that I am a member and I saw the link in the shoutbox. I remembered that I wanted to post a long time ago So anyway CONGRATULATIONS.... It is an inspiring thing to hear your story.Cheers,

Hello,I have read and seen so many cases of animal cruelty for no sensible reason. I mean people poisoning animals for they barked at them or something.My cat was poisoned by a neighbour...... She was tame and sweet and all. I have heard of cases where sickos poison puppies. I had seen on a documentary where a man had two dogs and for some reason he shifted and he left the poor dogs in his old home where the poor things were starved for TWO WEEKS ! and when cops came they were scared but did not bite even once.It made me cry for here it was, The poor things were subjected to intense cruelty, No food, No fresh water, Stuck in cages. And they still had faith in the human race.Why do people do this kind of pathetic thing........Give me your views on this issue....

Hi,I think it has somthing to do with the fact that people are not quite open minded so it becomes a problem to both the disabled and the onlooker.I have no disability accept slightly knock kneed legs so I cant participate in races. As a kid my friends used to leave me behind for I was slightly slower than them but as I grew up and started reading a lot, They would come to me help out in studies.I took it in a positive light so there were no hassles but peole get insecure over their disability and start getting defensive for that reason.I have heard of disabled people complaining of the fact that they are treated like a grade lower which hurts a lots.Once I had seen a cripple trying to get his wheel chair down a flight of steps to reach the platform but nobody even tried helping and then I tried helping me but Iam quite short so couldnt get a grip.When the other people saw me doing this then they decided to help and I helped the man down the steps. I felt so happy for helping not out of show off kind but because of the way he said Thank you. It was freaking touching.But i have seen people fight their disabilities very strongly. A relative of mine had breast cancer and in the end it had to be removed, She lost all her hair and her skin had turned pale but the strength of that woman was inspiring.She smiled throughout the experience and still enjoys her game of bridge. Cheers,

HEllo.Like the title suggests why do you think that suicide bombers do what they do? I have heard of bombers having this crazy belief that if they destroy "enemy" countries then they are helping in protecting their country and making her prouder .... Why? And It isnt like they are alll old men but young boys as yound as 13-17 are doing this. We speak of the younger generations being the better generatin then why is an alarming rate of young men doing this?Even women and girls are doing this..... It promotes terrorism rather than help end issues.Dont they understand? Tell me what you think ?

Hello,Nowadays we hear so much about celebs going to rehab or partying super late and alleged affairs and all that sort of stuff... But are they really happy?They do anything possible to get their faces or names in the daily local. I mean cheap publicity but that too can sometimes save their sagging careers.What do you think about all this ? Would you approve of all this kind of cheap gimmicks.P.S I dont know whether Iam in the right place so feel free to move me If Iam not.Cheers,

Hello mr ? impressive,I have no idea about what kind of people are you talking to that they treat you like rubbish because you follow a religion, I dont know about others but I personally do not do that to religious people.Just because Iam an atheist does not mean that I cant respect other people who follow them,I was greatly discouraged by my family for telling them that I was an atheist.I dont understand though you are thinking about yourself but what about atheist who are treated like they are beggars for not following GOD. First we speak of being open minded and tolerant and then fight over one's privacy for it is your choice alone on who to follow.And choice comes under the category of "Privacy"I did not mean to hurt anybody nor their beliefs Cheers,

Hi,Not meaning to be rude or anything but the topic that you call sick is actually a very disturbingly rising topic, Girls everywhere are being targeted and I asked for a logical opinion not for spam. I would appreciate it if you gave an honest and logical opinion rather than ignoring and suppressing the issue at hand.Thanks.Cheers

Hi,That was a really nice reply and I do agre about the world without actors and all but My question, why do The little eople need to lie when there is no need They speak of things which we can clearly see is not true or not what they follow.I want to know why you think that they lie or project themselves in a false light.The girl I mentioned had friends coz she was nice and all and we realised her lies only after a long time. Dolts :lol:Anyway thanks for giving the neat reply :lol:Cheers

Hi,I was working when I saw the prank on my bosses computer, At first I could not belive it for itis like a dream come true and then I started doubting it and then like a dolt I realised that I was made a fool on April Fool's day but that was a brilliant joke. I mean Hat's off to Google for making life a bit more fun .But I wonder how many gullible people are still waiting for the product to launch Anyway It was exciting to think of the loo powered internet but I guess we will have wait for another decade or two until the thing becomes solid.Cheers

Hi Date rapes: when your partner/ date rapes her, Just reading makes you sick and nowadays in the drug filled world , It is a very common thing that happens,My question is Why the perversion? It is nobody but the woman who suffers and many girls are lured. What do you think should be done to the guy who rapes her in a helpless state.I mean drinks are spiked and nobody gets to know because the drug is odourless and tasteless,You can easily force the victim to have a drink and she is helpless after that. It is freaky to know that this kind of a thing happens coz you can also be a victim anytime.Share your views on anything that you feel on this topic. Cheers,

Hi Happy Anniversary! And I agree with micoscopic We need cake or atleast PM having a picture of cake ;)Anyway Carolyn I guess your lucky to have a guy like yours Cheers to you guys and best of luck for the future

Hi sunzoje,I totally agree with matt2 and that you do not need to have sex with your partner if you are in a relationship. The thing is ,, Non sexual touching like hugging kissing is much more bonding than sex. That does not mean that sex is bad or something. It is a thing between two people who are comfortable and trust each other. Sex is a form of expressing your love for a person but is the most intimate form of showing your love & you have to decide whether it is lust or love. I know your wonderng how one will know but trust me you will know. Corny as it sounds. Coming back to the question in hand, Sex is important but the whole relationship does not depend on it. Like long distance relationships where there is no physical connection except the voice but they still stay strong.So take it from me Not all relationships have to be physical.I rambled for long but I hope I helped you

HI milk ,Nice topic to begin with. This is a topic that is so old and still has no answer to it. First of all Iam for it and against it. Like the many of you have given above If the girl was raped or if it is an unwanted child then I dont mind but If it it like female foeticide then Iam totally against it....Its again a look on perspective and as for the part that whether it is murder or not Well the zygote is nothing but a bundle of "living" cells so I guess it is murder but heck we kill so many lives like that for example, the simple virus.But if the mother or child are at risk... Would you save ? the mother or child. Sometimes the family chooses the chimd for the mother is too far to pull back, Sometimes the mother is chosen for the belief is that she can have children again in the future.......Well It is the woman and her family and friends live with the guilt of abortion whether planned or not ? I mean I have seen couples where thehusband/wife does not want it so the child is aborted and one or the other feels guilty about the operation.Cheers,

Hello everyone,The other day I was talking to a couple of my friends and as I was nagging them to stop smoking one of them said that my nagging too is sort of an addiction like their smoking. I mean the fact that the habit of nagging is considered an addiction.That set me thinking that for all we know, Everything that we do might be an addiction, our computers,books, videogames, Junk food.I totally agree that Iam addicted to food,books, talking and games. Dont you think that posting too is an addiction in a way?Freaky but so cool.I'd love to hear about what you define as an addiction and I would love to hear yoursCheers

Hello,What would you do if your parent or friend was cheating on their partner?.I mean this is a serious problem. Would you blame the married/committed for having the affair or the other person?The married/committed would justify that they are not happy in their relationship and that they have sacrificed a lot for the family or partner and found comfort in their lover's embrace. The lover would either say that they did not know or that they were helping or openly claim to love your acquaintance.For it is proven that If your family member is cheating then there is a high risk that you too would cheat.You tell me what your reaction would be. Cheers,

Hi,Nice topic I was in medical school so I can tell you sort of my version of what happens, I cant say it will help though coz I've been handling dead things from a long time coz of my cats.Anyway back to the topic, It sort of is your comfort level, I wont deny that everytime you take that knife you are scared of hurting the patient for it is stil living and breathing but then as you get comfortable with it then you start feeling more confident.Some times when you have to perform post mortems It is quite difficult for either the body is decomposedor it stinks, Its difficult, but you get to manage as you are helping not destroying, People who do it sadistically do it for mainly psychological reasons like ,,, Because the person does get hurt himself so he thinks the person he is torturing does not feel it too so he thinks it is ok.Or they get an euphoric high seeing a person in pain. But whatever may be the reason It happens either when they are not scolded when young or due to traumatic lives.Cheers,

Hi Thanks for the opinion, That is what is the problem, We are truely bothered about our external features. The sane minded people know their limits but the insecure people get obsessed about their weight and all I have seen my cousin who was quite attractive look like a plastic doll for she was constantly dieting and using a lot of make up. I dont care about make up and my weight for I walk a lot and therefore dont need to diet. Girls think that If they reduce their food then they will go thin but If you have noticed then they look sickly and emaciated rather than glamorous.We have to learn to give different people a chance rather than narrowing our vision Dont you think?For if we do not then there will be no difference between us and animals as they too choose over looks, And as they say man is the SMARTEST and can REASON so why does he become so primitive?Please reply.....

Hi The freaky bit is that i never had a computer for the first half of my life but after I started working I bought one of my own but I guess everyone goes through the interrogation by parents, My parents thought that I used to go to the cybercafe to talk to strange men and meet them and they were worried but I assured them that in return for a less phone bill I talk to my friends online.After I got my computer I hardly left my room so my dad kept yelling at me for being in my room all the time and all that but now that my mom is hooked onto chatting onlne with her friends and family, my dad has no choice but to shut upCheers

Hi I had seen this movie quite a long time ago but it is one touching movie about a substitute teacher and her job at a broken shack of a school. As she starts getting used to the life style, One of her students leaves to go to the city to support his mother and pay off debts. The substitute refuses to accept the fact that the boy wants to leave school so the later part of the movie shows she and her students working to get money to go to the city to find the little boy. There the boy begs while the teacher searches and searches and still does not find him. At that point when she is at her lowest she gets to know about a news channel that will air her story and the teacher and student are reunited thus. Because of her effort the school gets lots of funds. The scenes I found most touching were The part where the class monitor talks of the shortage of money and chalks. Another part where the teacher hs no money for food so she eats the leftovers on tables of open restaurants. This movie is a definite watch http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You'll get the story here. You can watch it I f you like the story. Cheers, P.S. Tell me If you have and give me your opinions and your touching moments.

Hi i can agree to a limit on what you say, It is true that credit cards make yuo want to spend more than what you need, I mean my cousin's dad has lots of debts due to credit cards but they can come handy when you cannot carry heavy duty cash like suppose an emergency has happened and you need to pay then you can always swipe the card if there isnt sufficient cash in the bank.I guess everything has a pro and con like the credit card and I guess it's our responsibility to know what you need and what you dont need before buying.Cheers,

Hey,I was thinking about this article I'd read a long time ago. It had said that most of the things that are ther in us are due to heredity. And I drew my conclusion on that. I mean if all your disease, Physical features, Emotional up's and downs were due to your family whether your parents, grandparents or great great granparents then what in the whole mixture is you? Even certain behaviour shown by us is charateristic in one of our family members.There is only one thing n this whole bag of chemicals that is crucial to define us, that is our personality for that is individual but there also is a flaw when there are 10 other people thinking and behaving like us then where is the uniqueness left?So help me out with your opinionsCheers,

HEllo,This is topic about how people treat other people like rubbish because of their choice of religion. Like for example when the World trade centres were blown so many innocent muslims and Indians and of other cultures were treated in an inhuman manner just because somebody who was following the same religion as them had caused mayhem.Even during wars, Many innocent people are killed and raped just because the leader of the land had started the war.We speak of advancement in co-relation with other cultures but are we really? If this was true then there would be no wars nor would there be politics, religion or hatred. But the way that the world is moving right now , the only thing for sure is World war 3This was merely an opinion and is not meant to hurt anybody. Am very sorry if I sound rude or hurt anybody.Tell me about what you think on thisCheers,

Hi,I personally think that it is ok for us to drink recycled water as we save a lot of fresh pure water and the the products remaing from the purification can too be recycled.I thought it is ok for we are either way drinking polluted water as most of the water bodies are polluted due to chemicals and acid rains and so on.So i dont see the big deal in drinking it and if a particular batch of recycled water is unsafe then you can always find another safer use for it.Nowadays we cannot be picky about things as the resources are fast depleting due to pollution,wastage and over population.So in short I think that it is a better option to recycle all the resources we have to save something for the future ahead.Cheers,This was just an opinion.

Hi,I just wanted to know your opinion on girls and guys obsesed about their external features, Be it their looks or their posessions like gadgets and cars and so on.You see girls obsessed about their weight even though they might be thin or guys worried about being single or a virgin or his posessions. Basically we are in a period of being vain.I understand the importance of looking good or atleast looking decent but Girls and their weight and make up and guys with their toys and girls.Dont you think that we are pushing it a bit . I mean you hear of skinny models and competitive guys.I understand that the world has become much more competitive but I think that we are focussing far too much on the outer image rather than the inner self.I might be wrong, But would like to know what you think? :lol:Cheers.
