The Decades of Your Childhood and Teen Years
What do you remember? How much do you remember? What are some pros and cons of those times?
-
Making Money From the Net
Who has made money this way? How did you do it? What were some challenges? Who hasn't made money from the net? Who wants to? What's your plan?
-
Gold and Silver vs Currency
What do you know about it? Have you owned it? How do you predict things will play out in the financial world?
-
Hosting for Your Website
How did you find them? What are pros and cons with it?
-
Why do you read?
A lot of my reading is about the news or social media stuff. In fact, it's most of it. Do you all feel that's "junk food reading"?
-
Do you feel pity for the bad guy/gal?
The actions of them can be despicable, but we can often see some victimization going on, though it doesn't justify the character's choices. What examples of this observation can you name (in TV or movies)? How pitiful is the character?
-
Who can type?
Oddly enough, when I learned I could not forsee the internet and learned on typewriters, but personal computers of the pre-internet type did exist. It was in the early 90s.
-
Who can draw and/or paint?
I can't draw or paint at all. Well, I can, but it's nothing I would show others. Anyway, I've always wanted to learn, but it isn't my biggest priority.

The Journey of a Hero
This is a guide for writing stories. Who has heard of it? Who has used it? How did you implement it?
-
Who has played in a band?
When was it? What type of music did they play? Were they any good? How busy were they? How were popular were they?
-
Independent Parties
Do non-mainstream parties have a chance in your country? Do you feel they ever will? What challenges do they face? What would get you to vote for one?
-
Republicans and Democrats
What differences do you see? What similarities? Do you feel parties have changed significantly in the past 50 years?
-
Terrorism These Days
How much of a threat is it? Have governments done enough to combat it? How come terrorism was a bigger deal (seemed like it) in the 2000s (in the West and some other areas)?
-
Hosting for Your Website
Where is your site hosted? What kind of hosting is it (green, shared, VPS, dedicated etc.)? How much free speech is allowed?
-
Free Speech
Some nations have strong censorship like China, North Korea, and to a lesser degree, Germany. Do you feel it is needed? How much is needed?
-
Country Music
I like mostly classic country like Hank Williams or Wille Nelson (However, the classic days had it's share of cheesy crap, lol.) I like some of the new country, but not a lot of it. I think Morgan Wallen is good and I'm not just saying that because he's from East Tennessee (my home area).
-
Talking Down to People
People hate being talked down to. It's emasculating (well, another word may be needed for females) and brings on resentment and anger. Anyway, though, the hypocrisy lies in the fact that people talk down to others, but they don't like being talked down to, themselves.
-
Why do you read?
I like to read for an escape, as you all said, and also to learn things.
-
Splitting the bill?
I pay for everything that a woman wants, unless she specifies otherwise. That seems to be what most women want, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it's not meant to be a type of male chauvinism or "talking down" to women. Note: It can be a pain in the rear, because life is tough, and I have to work hard for money.
-
Passive Aggression
How do you feel about it? I am guilty of this on social media. The reason is because there is no real freedom of speech there. Well, there is freedom of speech, but people where I am from can't handle other opinions without a strong reaction.
-
Do you learn better by book or video instruction?
I can learn things by book, but I really have to focus. For instance, I checked out an Organic Chemistry book for dummies (something like that, lol) and I am learning, but I have to go over paragraphs a lot and it's nothing like hearing a human voice. Anyway, one big bonus to books is if they have "question your knowledge" questions with answers in the back. That really helps.
-
Who can type?
I can type fast, but I'm not sure how fast I can type. How about you? Myself, I learned typing in high school. It was one of the few really useful courses I took. Anyway, I would find it very difficult to do online stuff if I never learned. I don't know how people who can't type can manage online.
-
Who can draw and/or paint?
What can you do? Who taught you? Where did you learn? How good are you? How long have you been at it?
-
Can you sing?
What sort of music do you like singing? Who discovered you could sing? What were you singing?
-
Singing in Public
Some people don't mind singing in public. Have you sung in public? How do you feel about people singing in public, even if they are good at it, lol?
