Politics, News & Issues > US News Crime: Virginia Tech school shooting: 13 of 98
The "Virginia Tech Massacre" was without a doubt, a tragedy. So many lives were taken violently, and even more were changed forever. The rest of us are left wondering why. Why did he do it? Why didn't the victims run or hide or fight back? Why didn't the school do more? This sort of violence, however, is not new. It has happ... More..
Relationships & Family > Cheating & Trust Issues Is cheating ever okay?: 28 of 80
There are only three categories of people that would say yes to the question, "Is cheating ever okay?" These are people that are cheating, would like to cheat, or people that want to be with someone that is in a relationship. In reality, cheating on your partner/spouse is unacceptable in any monogamous relationship. If you a... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Racism in America: 51 of 130
I am a victim of racism every day. I experience discrimination when I go into stores and restaurants. I have been called names, threatened, and bullied simply because of the color of my skin. More often than not I am the only person of my race in a room. I have gotten onto a train to go home and told that I was on the wrong ... More..
Health & Fitness > Diet Tips Diet and why quick fixes don't work: 8 of 18
Here in America it is impossible to do anything without hearing something about a new weight loss technique or fad diet. We are obsessed about food and our weight. In light of this, it would seem that the majority of us would be lean, fit and healthy. It just doesn't make sense, therefore, that we are the fattest nation in t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Cause for the sudden controversy over immigration in the US: 14 of 23
I have to shake my head when I think of the arguments liberals seem to make in regards to immigration. They have convinced many people that the jobs that illegal immigrants are working jobs Americans won't work. First, who do you think worked these jobs fifty years ago? We did! It was the liberals who put it in the minds of ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Deciding if affirmative action really is fair: 12 of 19
Affirmative action is the single most damaging policy that has ever been put into place. While some might agree that yes it is damaging because of the reverse discrimination that it can create, I believe that it has another consequence that is far more damaging. Affirmative action has been most destructive to the groups it w... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Do immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want?: 72 of 109
Fifty years ago it was American citizens who worked those jobs that are now so unwanted we have to bring illegal immigrants here to work them. How about that! What a difference time can make. Liberals have convinced our citizens that are less educated and less skilled, that those jobs are beneath them. Better to live off the... More..
Health & Fitness > Sexual Health The truth about condoms: 4 of 6
The truth about condoms is that they are 100% ineffective if they never make it out of your wallet, drawer, or even the drug store. It is sad that after all we know about STDs, so many people are continuing to not use condoms. There is always an excuse and no one thinks something bad will happen to them-until it does. No one...

Personal Finance > Health Insurance What college grads need to know about health insurance: 2 of 3
When I graduated from college at the age of 21, I was immediately dropped from my fathers plan, which unfortunately ended once I was out of school-not when I turned 25. Like many graduates, I did not find a job with benefits right away. I worked waiting tables for a while and then when I did finally find a "real job", the co... More..
Relationships & Family > Online Dating Has online dating helped or impeded relationship-building?: 11 of 16
The topic of online dating is tricky. On one hand, online dating has allowed people to meet that would probably never have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. At the same time, however, the concept of online dating has completely impeded quality relationship-building. A person goes onto a dating site, typically, because t... More..
