Intolerance is the pivot point of separation.Our country has taken several huge steps in the direction of preserving every man's freedom of speech, religion, and press. In most states, same-sex marriage is legal, along with abortions, and even some doctor assisted suicides. Children as well as adults are encouraged to chase t... More..
Sciences > Chemistry What causes spontaneous combustion?: 4 of 9
Bizarre is real. Day to day, we as human beings are forced to make assumptions and theories to make sense of life's mysteries. Questions such as: "Is there a God?", "What happens after we die?", "Can we trust the text-books?", and most importantly, "What happened to that lady who spontaneously burst into flames?" Although I c... More..
Other Great pranks to play on people: 30 of 62
Doggy tooth-paste. Delightfully sticky, with a pleasantly beefy odor. Hard to come-by, yes, but to me the stuff is slumber-party gold.So basically, the stunt goes like this: you squeeze a generous portion of the toothpaste between the toes of your victim while they sleep. Then you invite your dog over, and allow them to lick ... More..
Sciences > Genetics The debate over genetic engineering: 6 of 12

It would promote a certain idea of perfection, and wipe out entire races that are viewed as "inferior." It would harm the economic side of our world in ways that we have only seen in the darkest depressions. I for one, do not-... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Women in the Old Testament: 1 of 1
Over the course of the Old Testament, women are portrayed as several completely different identities. Upon searching the chapters of the Pentateuch, the past few weeks of reading, and the Old Testament in its entirety, I've come across examples of everything from the original femme fatales, who breathe danger and bring down h...

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Reading Psalms 91: 1 of 1
Psalms 91: A Poem of SafetyPsalms 91 does not address who it is composed by, or who it is written to. We can assume that Moses, the alleged author of Psalms 90, also wrote Psalms 91, because there was no change in writing style in shifting from 90 to 91.

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Hair removal experiences: 8 of 13
There comes a time in every young woman's life, when the sun rises and she realizes that summer has come. She must now shave about four times more often than in the winter, at least if she wants to remain socially acceptable at public pools or in those flashy Daisy Dukes. The time for me came a couple months ago, yet only a w... More..
