Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East Assessing US support of Israel

2 of 43

There are a lot of people that would say it's geography. That we need a non-Muslim country in the middle east so we throw our weight behind Israel. A good theory, but almost laughable. Israel is still very much a Muslim country. A huge part of the Israeli population is still Palistinian's who co-exist peacefully with their I... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East The Israeli and Palestinian conflict: Searching for solutions

8 of 47

I feel like a lot of these articles are written by people who only have information that the media spoon feeds them. This is the perception of Israel that the media presents us. The land that the Jews live on in Israel is theirs and theirs only. The entire nation of Palestine was displaced and now sits on the outside looking... More..

Arts & Humanities > Horror, Mystery & Suspense Mysteries, Thrillers, Suspense - What's the difference?

1 of 5

When it comes to literature, the reason the Mystery, Suspense, and Thrillers get lumped together is because they are all genres themselves, and tools that the other genres use. A mystery will use suspense as will a thriller, but do not be fooled. They are most definitely very different from each other. A mystery is when the ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq How today's anti-war protesters face harassment by pro-Bush citizens

2 of 9

Ahhhh. Good old American. Land of the free, and the home of the.....bandwagoners. That's right folks. I said it. Deal with it. Right after 9/11, you couldn't find a anti-war protestor, or at least one who was willing to speak up. We had a thirst for blood fueled by patriotism and righteous anger. Who can blame us? Now that t... More..

Education > Non-Traditional College Students Explaining the trend of older students returning to college

8 of 21

Somebody told me a few years ago that the Bachelor's Degree is the new Diploma. What he meant by that was that you used to need at least a Diploma to get by in life, and that these days a Diploma doesn't really cut it anymore. That made me really stop and think. Can that really be true? At the time I didn't think it was. I w... More..

Hobbies & Games > Antiques & Collecting (Other) Book collecting

12 of 21

I started collecting books about two years ago. There is a lot of information out there on this hobby, but mostly for professionals who know what they are looking for. I decided to write a very brief beginners guide to book collecting. Rule #1 Watch out for book club editions. In general, these are not worth nearly as much a... More..

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Ways to protest the war in Iraq

4 of 7

So many people out there, young people especially, are vehemently opposed to this war. This being true, they want to do something about it. I think that is admirable. Many great changes in this country have happened because the few took on the many. The thing that I find frustrating with these people is that few if any of th... More..

Arts & Humanities > Literature (Other) How to analyze a short story

10 of 17

When one reads any piece of literature, they should keep one thing in mind. The writer writes to evoke an emotional response in the reader. Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, Surprise. These are the writer's tools. So when you want to truly analyze any work, you should pay attention to your feelings. How did it make you feel and w... More..

Health & Fitness > Diet & Weight Loss Good diets for losing over 40 pounds

9 of 15

I am not a dietician or a nutritionist. What I am is an overweight person and recovering food addict. Yes a food addict. If you don't think it is a disease, just go to Wal-Mart and look around. Anyway, back to the diet thing. The only thing that has ever worked for me is to fix my view of what the word diet means. Most peopl... More..

Arts & Humanities > Writing Tips How to write a short story

13 of 21

I am not going to bore you with how to come up with ideas or how to write in general. If you can't come up with ideas than you probably shouldn't worry about writing at all, as you will just spend too many wasted hours staring at a blank screen/paper/whatever. As for the writing part, the old rule applies, practice makes per... More..
