  • Why am I still getting those annoying ads on my site?

    I have installed Adblock plus and I still get all those damn ads all over my screen. It appears that everytime I block an ad more keep popping up all over my screen. What is the point of having Adblock if I still get the ads?

    Can someone tell me how to completely get rid of these frigging cyber pests? It, also, slows down my computer, and everytime I click on text the screen scrolls up and down.

  • What are opinions on the TV series Dexter?

    I have watched all the episodes of Breaking Bad and Games Of Thrones online. I enjoyed Breaking Bad but didn't like Games Of Thrones. I have started watching the pilot episode of Dexter and it has some very graphic and gruesome images. The same with CSI. I never really could get into those types of series with explicit content every week. Unless the stories and characters are well liked and the stories are plausible.

    Is the Dexter series the same or do the stories on all episodes continue to be gory, gruesome and uninteresting?

    I didn't find the main character to be interesting. Nor was I entertained by the entire episode. A serial killer using his skills to kill serial killers that deserve it. The psychological profile of this main character is not believable or challenging.

    You wouldn't want to send a paedophile to kill paedophiles.

    Any person that decides to kill those who commit such atrocities does not make them any better than the person who kills. Death does not discriminate. This is just my humble opinion.

  • How do you deal with a relative who has a mental illness?

    Does anyone have a relative who has a mental illness and is capable of functioning in society but refuses to take self responsibility for their behaviour and actions?

    I live with a sibling who suffers from schizophrenia, bipolar and other medical conditions and yet is perfectly able to function in society but refuses to accept any responsibilities.

    I just cannot understand how they are given plenty of support from the government, local community, a church group, specialized assistance and many other networks.

    Yet no matter what I do or say it never goes any further than through one ear and back the other.

    I find it amazing and disturbing that these mentally ill individuals,tend to hang around the same crowd of undesirables, going out socialising everyday at the expense of decent hard working tax payers.

    What about some support for those that look after them?

    They have no consideration for anyone who is "normal" or well adjusted and expect to be treated like royalty. No wonder society is going down the proverbial toilet. They should have kept them locked away in those asylums or mental institutions. No offense to anyone else.

    It's not fair man.

  • Does anyone know of an online company that pays a low rate for articles...?

    I have been looking at an online agent that requests anyone who can write for low paid articles. They pay only six dollars for a 500 word article and must have three versions submitted too.

    They claim anyone can write 17 articles for a lousy $300 a week.

    If you sign up and join then they expect your to select a minimum of five articles to be written by a dead line.

    Then you may choose which articles based on the keywords(title of article) they place on the list.

    Has anyone actually written for them and how much did you earn?

    Sounds like a scam or a very low rate of pay for amateur writers who want to make some extra money on the side.

  • Do you know of anyone (mainly adults) who have never been physically assaulted in their whole life?

    Just curious to find out if there are adults that you know, or mainly yourself, who have never been slapped across the face,punched in the abdomen or face,kicked in the backside, pushed away with force or assaulted in any way whatsoever?

    I believe that everyone has sometime in their life been either verbally or physically abused. If you have yet to be assaulted then you are one of the most luckiest person in the world.

    Children are exempt because they all get up to mischief and it's hard not to be in some sort of fight at the local school yard or at home.

  • Do you know of anyone who has been well educated,intelligent,smart,professional,but somehow began to lose it?

    I have known many friends,acquaintances,relatives who were smart and popular at school, got good paid jobs, were very intelligent until they reached middle age where they lost the plot and became mediocre. Through some sort of unexplained circumstances and events they just lost their level of intelligence, became apathetic,got retrenched or laid off and were below normal people in the society.

    It is as if they could no longer adapt,compensate or improvise to the level of technology, resources,

    information and au courant.

    I am not referring to any mental illness or some sort of psychological disorder but life experiences in general have not been good to them.

  • Is this a real movie coming out next year or is it one of those silly amateur fan produced on YouTube?

    I have watched a trailer of the movie on YouTube called Ghostbusters 3. The original actors do not appear in it and it seems like it was mad by amateurs. Very well made too. Or is it a real Hollywood production of the third instalment of the classic 1980s films?

    Sometimes it is hard to distinguish a legitimate movie from a fan made amateur production clip showing on YouTube.

  • If women can be smart as men then why are they lousy at relationships,finance, & common sense;etc?

    If some young girls and women can be as smart as men then why is it that they are completely hopeless at relationships, money matters, working hard by themselves, inventing and using common sense?

    What is this girl power I hear all the time?

    What girl power?

    They seem to have this strange power of gossiping, flirting, good at interrupting your conversation, procrastinating,lying,two-faced,greedy,possessiveness and ineptitude

    They are incapable of common sense. They all seem to have a personal agenda, ulterior motives and lack insight with worldly issues.

    They are interested in fashion,money,shopping,wasting time grooming,drinking alcoholic beverages, whining, scoffing, winging and complaining about trivial matters.

  • Why are there many pornsites on the internet & why do the young women enjoy posing for the cameras?

    I don't have any objections to watching certain porn sites,nudists and non violent erotica for enjoyment. It is a necessary evil. However, lately I have stumbled upon a few porn sites that really disgust me. I cannot understand why some of these young girls and women pose for these disgusting x-rated porn sites. They must be either very horny young females, get paid a lot of money, feel unashamed of their sexuality, and do it for the fun of it.

    I know I shouldn't click onto these websites but sometimes I lose control of my urges. Some are deceptive and redirect you to another porn site especially the nudists ones.

    After all I am a red blooded horny bastard who enjoys looking at the female body. That is all I am able to do as I am not married nor do I have a girlfriend. Bugger!

    I am not ashamed of the human body nor am I against or offended by these hard core sites.

  • How does one insult a dead person or a fictional character?

    I always believed that only a living human being is capable of being insulted if they have a chip on their shoulder or a big ego. Need I say more.
