    There was a time that Ads were at the top, and scattered along a side, and at the bottom of an item.  They were unobtrusive.   The Ads didn’t disrupt the flow of the site, and were no more vulgar than those in a m […]

    I disagree Mahesh.   If a site is NON paying, such as Wikinut or Blogjob, fine.  But a site like Hubpages is supposed to pay, but pays so little, if/when it’s a waste of key strokes.  Any site that promises to pay and doesn’t is a Scam.

    When it comes to Ad Block… that’s a whole different story

    How will you answer the question that is outmoded- What is self-reflection?

    Self-reflection has been studied and analyzed by philosophers and psychologists in the same way for a period of times. Although there […]

    • You are absolutely right about this. Let me just take an example here where when we go to church and people are in the mood for prayer, we are usually told to take time and reflect upon our lives. My understanding of this is that self reflection is all about looking into your life and seeing what it is that your doing in your life. Could you be doing something that is not right or getting into things that are not right? So when you start looking at this things and just checking your attitude towards people and the way you treat them is also reflecting on your life.

      • Yeah, probably. Self-reflection can be seen through the things we are doing and you are right, our self-reflects through our attitudes.

    • For me , self reflection is the way people sees you with the ways that you are doing , saying and thinking.

      When someone posts at FB for example Godly quotes, it reflects the personality of that person as being prayerful.

      But if one acts ill mannered, it somehow reflects how that person was raised by his parents or may have experienced violence in his life.

      • You said it right ma’am Dina. However, not anytime, all the actions that a person doing is the reflection of who really he is. Some are showing goodness but at the back of their mind, they are thinking badly.

        I will give an example of a woman who applied as a maid particularly here in Baguio but she is from another place. At first, she was so kindhearted, humble, and as if a trustworthy person. After a few months of staying as a maid for a good family, she killed the daughter of her employer and then went away taking all the things that are valuable and useful to her.

        So, I concluded that not all the actions shown by a person is real and it doesn’t reflect who she is. We should not judge a person by how she acts in front of us. They might be deceiving us.

    How can the Bible improve your life?

    The Bible is no ordinary book. It contains advice from our Creator. (2 Timothy 3: 16) Its message can influence us profoundly. In fact, the Bible states: “The word of God is a […]

    • When I study the Bible it surprises me how much is in the book that is going on right now in our time, wonderful stories to be read if I come across something I can’t understand I try my best even as much searching on the computer what something meant, it’s nice to go to myself and study and read and try to understand gods word. Something every beleave should try to do as often as they can.

    • I have already read the whole bible 2 times. Now, I would read verses to keep me refreshed about the words of God.

      The Holy Bible keeps me guided in my thoughts, words and deeds.

      I read phrases from the bible when I am feeling disappointed, sad or with a problem. It never fails to enlighten my troubled mind.

      The Holy Bible taught me how to be forgiving too.

      And you are correct, it helps us have a better life, because despite having some problems, they seem lighter to solve. 🙂

    • The Bible is the world’s best selling book. People find solace and comfort reading it. To many it serves as a guide to their daily living. Giving meaning and purpose to their life. I was raise in the Catholic faith, have read the Bible and use to attend church services and activities. Unfortunately as I grow older doubts and disenchantment with the church made me leave that institution. I still believe that a higher power exist but not in the way the Bible describes.

    Wikinut doesn’t pay and probably never will again.   The Owner of the site hasn’t a clue how to manage a site, and left his mods to do what they pleased.  As soon as the site stopped paying the Mods left, except for the one guy, the one I’d warned about publishing Shards…

    The Fact was; the Owner messed up, and ripped off the writers.  Then ran with coin.   If he hadn’t been such a dishonest thief that site would be the top of the Internet.

    Years ago, the crowds and the hype made it clear that this picture or that one was a must see.    People felt that this one was sure to get the Academy Award, but that one got it.   It wasn’t that great a sh […]

    • It would be nice to see the day when ALL positions for employment are actually based on the job candidate’s qualifications and merits. But that ain’t never gonna happen and we know it! So if you got skills, try to find out how to make it on your own.

      As for the Oscars? Did something happen? I stopped watching that particular awards show years back. Long time ago, we might have argued about the “hint of racism” in these ceremonies. But that lady who played the maid in “Gone With the Wind” did got an Oscar, even though she couldn’t go to the celebration part afterwards because Negroes were not allowed. Sidney Potier got an Oscar for “Lilies of the Field”. Denzel Washington has more than one Oscar on his belt notch. Perhaps the person who started the Academy Awards actually did want to give recognition to outstanding actors, directors, etc. But these days, especially these days, we all know that the award shows are about money. And any little “controversy”? It’s probably about money too! That black and white stuff is just “window dressing”.

      • I feel you are seeing the same thing I am. It’s like having various flavours of ice cream and most people buying Rocky Road, (for example) and the store deciding this in unfair to strawberry so people have to buy strawberry.

        When Avatar roped in more money than any other picture and didn’t get the award one wondered where the head of the Academy was?

        I have no intention in seeing a movie about homosexuals. It doesn’t appeal to me. I will prob. watch la la land online because its a ‘feel good’ movie and sometimes… gee… people go to the movies to… um… be … I don’t know…? Entertained?

        To my mind La La Land won… but it was more ‘politically correct’ to give it to Moonlight, so the envelopes were fudged…

    There was a site called Wikinut.  It was a pleasant site and it paid.  Every item was moderated but not severely.   The site demanded long items… over 1k with 5 images, 5 bold words and 5 links.  Then one could get a Star.

    One would be on the Star Page and likely to be read.

    It was a solid site.

    with the Bub I was paid $25 then $50 then stopped.  They didn’t pay people from the Caribbean or Africa.  As Dixit is Indian he paid a segement of Indian members, and American and British members.  He slipped up with an America who flagged him.

    I earned on the other sites when they were alive.  Now it is only this one, Niume and Mylot.

    I joined Hubpages about the same time as you did.  The earnings weren’t bad.  They collapsed in 2010.  After that 5c a month was pretty standard.

    Why write so many words, so many images, and get so little?

    And when you look at their ‘top’ stories, they are nothing I much care to read.
