Best Videos that agree : +4 No this is not sped up. The last few seconds are the best. James wasn't talking very well, but you can make out "Blitzkrieg Bop" The last few seconds looks like she really got into the rythem. "All Apologies" Mamma Mia

You should keep track, online what you did each week

Reasons to agree Writing things online, as apposed to just to yourself, will force you to project outwards, spell better, be more careful, etc. Even if no one will care, it is important to view your own life as important. Your life is the most important thing in the world to you. You only live once. The things you do, even if they are boring, are important.  If you put all your boring stuff on 1 post, and keep updating that post, you can keep from wasting reading it unless they go out looking for that boring post.  The act of forcing yourself to write, will help you realize what is going on. It will make you pay attention. And the unexamined life is not worth living.  Reasons to disagree Writing online will prevent you from being honest. It can be damaging to think your views are important, without doing the real work of ensuring that your views stand up to criticism, or without putting the effort to say things better than have been said before.

State Parks in Illinois are anticlimactic (compared to Idaho)

Image
Reasons to agree : Illinois doesn't have any mountains. Without mountains you don't have good rapids, sking, waterfalls, canyons, views, climbing, etc. Illinois doesn't have very many clean rivers or lakes. Millions of people go to visit Starved Rock State Park each year. Reasons to agree :   Having come from Idaho, I can say that Idaho might be lacking in metropolitan attractions as much as Illinois lacks in scenic natural attractions. We have been to the Zoos, and Major Museums. Fine dinning isn't a big attraction with little kids, we don't go to plays, musicals, or any of that stuff. We often are looking for places to take the kids, let them look at some natural thing that's cool. In Illinois a 100 foot cliff over a river qualifies as a natural tourist attraction. According to their website, millions of people go to visit Starved Rock every year .  However there is nothing much better from the natural work to look at here, and so I guess thi...

Weight Watchers is the best weight loss program +3

Rumors that this is the chair I was using, are completely false Reasons to agree : +2 After years of trying, I lost 40 lbs. About 2 lbs per week. I'm now at a healthy weight, and feel great. My blood pressure was prehypertension. Now it is 100/80. I enjoy cooking, and have not spent more money on food. I didn't have to go listen to fat old ladies talk about their weight. I went to 1 meeting, got the app for my iPod touch, learned the points program, and didn't go to another meeting. Now that I am 186, I have about 10 more pounds I'm not loosing. and I sort of actually want to go to a meeting or two. I'm a life time member, and so now I can, if I ever want.  Images that agree : +1 This image proves that weight watchers works Websites that agree : +1 http://www.weightwatchers.com Websites that disagree : -1 http://www.jennycraig.com/ Total Score : +3 Background, and context 5/26/2012 I've lost 26 pounds in weight watchers in the las...
