Relationships & Family > Coping with Divorce After a divorce: Tips for dealing with anger: 1 of 28
Divorce can be absolutely devastating on those involved, whether they instigated it or not. Naturally, there is going to be extreme anger-which mostly stems from being hurt as an emotional defensive shield over the divorce.

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What is the soul?: 2 of 49
The soul is a concept, created out of the religions of East and West, to denote a spiritual "copy" of the flesh and blood body, endowed with the consciousness of the individual human mind.

Sex and morality has been a huge part of society for many generations. But as society has grown, old morals such as single, unmarried woman having sex before marriage, women being sexually aggressive and the such have fallen like gigantic trees being felled in the forest.

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Should the US pull out its troops regardless of whether Iraq is ready to defend its people?: 9 of 214
The US should pull its troops out of Iraq. Consider these factors. The American military is just bogged down in a neverending war of attrition with well-armed, well-trained insurgents who could literally fight on for decades.

Teens, historically, were and still are pressured by peers, friends, acquaintances, and those directly seeking to have sex with them from early teens on.

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Proof that God does not exist: 2 of 45
God, as conventionally portrayed as a father-figure presiding over his creation on some throne, does not exist. But this is the way that human beings, stuck in their third-dimensional reality perceive it. A vengeful god sending all sinners to hell is more of a creation of religious zealots and fanatics-who used religion as a ... More..
Sciences > Astronomy The best evidence that UFOs exist: 1 of 22
The best evidence that UFO's exist are the countless sightings by experienced pilots, civillian and military, who have seen objects move across the sky at incredible velocities and turn at such sharp angles with such G-forces that a human being would have been torn to pieces, providing he/she could move at such velocities in ...

Relationships & Family > Successful Dating Should one tell his/her partner about his/her past affairs?: 1 of 21
I think the biggest mistake one can make, while in a current relationship with somebody else, to tell the one they're with about their past affairs. It certainly is not going to help a current relationship by reminding your current partner about your past sexual encounters. All you are going to do is clearly implant that imag... More..
Sciences > Physiology Our bodies at rest: What happens when we sleep: 1 of 21
When we sleep, our heart rate slows down dramatically and our systolic and diastolic blood pressure rates go down dramatically-dramatically easing the workload of the heart. In effect, your heart and circulatory system rests. Without adequate rest for the heart (that can only be adequately gleaned through sleep) your heart wo... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Growing up: 5 of 98
For me, growing up had its highs and lows, like any other kid. I was born to a Canadian mother, who had her original ancestry two generations before in Eastern Europe; and a French-Canadian father, who was several generations before my mother in Canada. Although, for the life of me, I could never quite figure out much about m... More..
