Sports & Recreation > Basketball Coaching & Skills Remembering legendary basketball coach Arnold "Red" Auerbach: 2 of 3
Retired in 1991? Hardly. Rick Pitino's ego let it be well known that Red Aurbach was not welcomed with opinions, because Red was still around in 1997. So now we know why Rick Pitino completely failed in the NBA. He can not co-operate with others, they can only co-operate with him. Seems to work in college, doesn't work in the... More..

I have experienced only one MMORPG, and if my best computer didn't break and push me back to the stone-age, I probably would be playing and not writing this.

Sports & Recreation > Football Players Why Barry Sanders is the best football running back in NFL history: 7 of 10
Barry Sanders was fun to watch. His moves were dazzling, and he broke more ankles than Mafia-men with sledgehammers. He indeed was the true epitome to "acting like you've been there before" when he hit the endzone; never dancing, never spiking the ball.There is no doubt that Barry Sanders is amongst the greatest NFL running-b...

I'm a white male, and I say racial inequality and oppression does exist in todays society in America. There is no denying that.

Most of these p... More..

Hi, I'm Mike. I'm a self-employed roofer and I think I was onto something special until the market fell out from under me. I'm alive and fine, but it's pretty much day to day for me right now. In 1995, when I was 18 years old, I started roofing for the older brother of a friend of mine. I remember that first day well; for no... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Why politicians lie: 50 of 58
Politicians lie because they need popularity ratings and we can't handle the truth they think. Do you expect a politician to ever say a sentence like, "There has to be a balanced poor-class for the functionality of any country." They'd be hung for saying such a thing, but it's probably true. If we all had the same amount of m... More..

How do you end a war where peace and stability just isn't possible, and war is ineffective and pointless? We find ourselves in a real pickle here folks.
