Question the World?

http://going.com/question
893 members

Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a park way? Why does Starkist Tuna have Charlie Tuna promote the eating of his own kind? Why do they call it a pair of pants? Shouldn't it be a pair of pant? Why do you always have one sock less when you fold your laundry even though you know you didn't leave it in the washer or dryer or lose it on the way? So why do nice guys always date witchy women? Why do we rely on rich politicians to make decisions for the common man? Why is it that rich people get everything given to them for free? I could go on and on.....

This group is for anyone who ever questions the world. It can be something that just confuses you, something that makes you laugh, something that makes you passionate, or something that just makes you mad. Come share your thoughts and ask the questions that you want to know the answers to and even answer questions for others.

Thank you for joining!

      Forget about the airplane - what a rush! Words cannot describe it. I can say that you are too high up to see the ground rushing at you, so it feels more like an intense form of flying. If one goes tandem with the instructer, there are four chutes between you!

      If jumping out of an airplane is how it ends for me, then I will die with an enormous smile on my face. CHEERS

    do some people wind up with the one that they adore
    in a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for
    the bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?
    hello partner
    kiss your name bye-bye
    sometimes...

    romantic Piscean seeks angel in disguise
    Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes
    Liverpudlian lady sophisticated male
    hello partner
    tell me love can't fail

    & it's you & me in the summertime
    we'll be hand in hand down in the park
    with a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
    & all the sunshine banishes the dark

    do some people wind up with the one that they abhor
    in a distant hell-hole room third world war
    but all I see is films where a colourless despair
    meant angry young men with immaculate hair
    sometimes...

    get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down
    only a pound a word & you're talking to the town
    but how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart?
    just to touch
    a lonely heart

    & it's you & me in the summertime
    we'll be hand in hand down in the park
    with a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
    & all the sunshine banishes the dark

    & it's you I need in the summertime
    as I turn my white skin red
    two peas from the same pod yes we are
    or have I read too much fiction?
    is this how it happens?

      The Hollywood Palace



      Cheap Thrills Recording Session



      Artist: George Gershwin
      Song: Summertime

      Summertime,
      And the livin' is easy
      Fish are jumpin'
      And the cotton is high

      Your daddy's rich
      And your mamma's good lookin'
      So hush little baby
      Don't you cry

      One of these mornings
      You're going to rise up singing
      Then you'll spread your wings
      And you'll take to the sky

      But till that morning
      There's a'nothing can harm you
      With daddy and mamma standing by

      Summertime,
      And the livin' is easy
      Fish are jumpin'
      And the cotton is high

      Your daddy's rich
      And your mamma's good lookin'
      So hush little baby
      Don't you cry

      .. some songs just sound so good, just because th weather's so good..

      And even though the moment passed me by
      I still can't turn away
      Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
      Got tossed along the way
      And letters that you never meant to send
      Got lost or thrown away

      And now we're grown up orphans
      And never knew their names
      We don't belong to no one
      That's a shame
      But you could hide beside me
      Maybe for a while
      And I won't tell no one your name
      And I won't tell 'em your name

      And scars are souvenirs you never lose
      The past is never far
      Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
      Did you get to be a star?
      And don't it make you sad to know that life
      Is more than who we are

      We grew up way too fast
      And now there's nothing to believe
      And reruns all become our history
      A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
      And I won't tell no one your name
      And I won't tell 'em your name
      I won't tell em' your name
      Oooh, oooh, oooh
      I won't tell em' your name
      Ow!

      I think about you all the time
      But I don't need the same
      It's lonely where you are
      Come back down
      And I won't tell 'em your name

    From browsing the group page, one gets the impression that participation in the groups is going down, way down. (and you thought from the subject line this was about something else, shame on you!).

    QTW is in its usual #1 relative position, with 108 posts/responses, but all other groups are much lower. After Dating & Relating at 37, there are a few groups in double digits, then a page of groups 3-9, then multiple pages with none activity whatsoever.

    Perhaps the school terms are ending and the college kids are off to the hinterlands.

    Is activity falloff common for this time of year?

    Going has such potential, I wish it were in wider use. This may be a good time to share it with friends to bring them aboard.
