Debate & Discuss / Language debate

« on: March 04, 2018, 11:40:20 am »Message ID: 1201550

A great debate borrowed from the Swag Bucks daily poll:

Princeton University announced their choice to use a series of gender-neutral terms aimed at removing the word “man” and other 'male-leaning language' from official school material. Examples range from the changing of 'mankind' to 'humanity' and 'freshmen' will now be referred to as 'first-year students'. Do you think other universities should follow suit?

I respect their decision but I don't necessarily think other universities should follow suit.
One professor asked us, "What should I write? Freshmen/freshwomen, freshpeople?" The class was like, LOL, freshmen is fine.

"Welcome freshpeople!"

Alien races who are much more advanced than we are use gender-neutral language to refer to humans: "Greetings, Earthlings…”   Would you ever address a group of humans that way?  Maybe while you’re wearing an alien costume

If you have any interesting stories about gendered language, please post them.  I would like to know if word choice has ever had a real impact on someone’s life.

Debate & Discuss / Biggest debate of all time

« on: March 03, 2018, 03:21:03 pm »Message ID: 1201353

Do you want to know how to get a group of people all riled up, really quickly?

It's simple: ask them which one is better Star Wars or Star Trek 

And if all of them agree on that (which might happen in a like-minded crowd), ask them which sci-fi or fantasy novel (or book series) is the best.  They will definitely disagree on that.

I have great respect for The Lord of the Rings, which I think a lot of people will choose as the best fantasy book series ever written.  But I have to say that The Chronicles of Narnia is the best.  I love The Horse and His Boy (third book in the series), read it five times.  The Silver Chair (sixth book in the series) is also really good.  The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (first book) is a classic.  The author, C. S. Lewis, is very famous and has written many other great books besides this series.

Other Candidates for Best Sci-Fi or Fantasy Book(s) of All Time
Harry Potter (so popular, but I found this series boring)
2001: A Space Odyssey (if you haven't read this, please do. it's really good)
The Martian (should be at your local library by now; it's in mine)
A Song of Ice and Fire
Outlander
The Earthsea Cycle (I <3 Ursula LeGuin)
The King in The Window (the perfect fantasy book for children)
A Wrinkle in Time
Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
Malazan Books of the Fallen
Guardians of Ga'Hoole (the perfect fantasy book series for children)

Debate & Discuss / How lucky are you?

« on: March 03, 2018, 10:25:36 am »Message ID: 1201268

Let's start by saying how lucky we all are to have found Fusion Cash...

Here at FC I have 9 referrals - that's $9.00.  I could get another $45 if all those people eventually cash out.  Also, another $18 if each of them completes a paid-to-sign-up offer.  At my other money website, Swag Bucks, I have 7 referrals - guess how much money I made from them?  Only 13 cents!  Most money websites give you 10% of what your referrals earn.  And do new members of a money website earn a lot? Most of them don't.  Many people create accounts and then forget about them, so they earn nothing at all.

FC also gives forum posting bonuses!  Tons of comments on Swag Bucks pages, but no one is getting paid for them!  Forum posting bonuses are great for me because I like to write.

In other areas of your life, how lucky are you?  I am unlucky in some ways: I lost my umbrella yesterday and it was a great umbrella, I haven't found a boyfriend yet, I have lots of homework so there's no time to look for a boyfriend or just relax outdoors.  In other ways, I'm very lucky: no allergies or chronic diseases, good relationships with my parents and friends, a full scholarship at my college, and a strong internet connection so I can earn with many different money websites every day.

Off-Topic / New Month Resolutions

« on: February 03, 2018, 08:52:42 am »Message ID: 1195354

I'm trying to start a new trend here called the new month resolution.  There is a lot of hype surrounding Dec. 31st and Jan. 1st each year but it's all been forgotten by February. Looking back at January 2018 (which is a lot shorter than the entirety of 2017, and maybe easier for you to remember the details), what can you improve or what would you like to change?  Setting small goals for February might be easier and more productive than ambitious 2018 resolutions that you are unable to keep.

Whatever you hope to accomplish in February I wish you lots of luck

FusionCash / Solving captchas

« on: February 03, 2018, 07:53:34 am »Message ID: 1195327

I have noticed that they have changed the appearance of the captcha in the paid-to-click area.  It sometimes loads slower than the old version and is slightly harder to read.  What is your opinion of it?

There are websites that pay exclusively for solving captchas.  I think I will try some of them during the month of February.

Suggestions / Unlimited posting

« on: January 29, 2018, 08:20:45 am »Message ID: 1193948

I highly suggest you remove the nine posts per 24 hour period limit for new members. It stopped me from posting several times this week and came up more than once a day because it goes by 24 hour periods.  So what if I make 10 or 12 posts a day?  It shouldn't matter. At least make it 20 posts per 24 hour period if you feel there has to be a limit.
Thank you for your consideration.
