OPINIONS FROM
WHAT MAKES A BETTER
CHRISTMAS GIFT - MATERIAL
PRODUCTS OR EXPERIENCES? A
RECENT STUDY FOUND THAT
CHILDREN OVER THE AGE OF 12
GET LONGER LASTING
HAPPINESS FROM EXPERIENCES
RATHER THAN MATERIAL GIFTS.
33% of Australian members would also prefer
to give or receive an experience as a gift,
whilst 17% prefer a physical product. Another
47% said it depends on the situation. Maybe
you'll have a balance of both this Christmas!
A SMALL VILLAGE IN ITALY IS
SELLING HOUSES FOR $1 IN AN
EFFORT TO REPOPULATE THE
AREA AND CREATE A
COMMUNITY THERE. HOW
MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE
WILLING TO START A NEW LIFE
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY?
41% of Australian members think this is a
great opportunity to start over, but 39%
would not abandon the life they
currently have.
SINGAPORE RECENTLY BECAME
THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD TO SELL LAB-GROWN
MEAT. WOULD YOU BE
COMFORTABLE EATING THIS?
26% of Australian members would eat it if it
tastes good and has no harmful effects, and
another 22% may try it if it became more
widespread. 28% would only eat meat that
comes from animals.

THE COMMUNITY
Don't forget that you could receive 300 points if your comments are
featured in our magazine. Check out our Topics by clicking on
"Recommended" after logging into the Toluna website.
IN RECENT WEEKS, MYSTERIOUS
METALLIC STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN
APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING AROUND
THE WORLD, CREATING A NICE
DISTRACTRION FROM MORE SERIOUS
ISSUES. WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE?
MLESVIC SAYS:
ALIENS!!! or MARTIANS!!! We are under attack people, haven't you
watched all those B and C grade movies they made in America??? It will
probably turn out to be some Artiste who thought Why Not just to see if
anyone notices it there, he could have stuck up a picture of "Wally"....
KT051 SAYS:
I think an artist trying to express and communicate something.
KOORAWATHA49 SAYS:
Someone put it there. Its a tourist attracting structure created by
advertising its a mystery, so people will go to have a look, buy food and
accommodation while there. Nothing just appears. Some people would
believe anything.
MELHELLWAY SAYS:
I think there’s a scientific expiation for that monolith. I also think that it
could be a spy detector or a thing that is use as a communication device
if an object pass through that area, which is only possible if there is
something stored inside that metal. Otherwise, it’s just an art standing in
the middle of the desert constructed by an artist to stir people’s mind.
My opinion.
