Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) The world and its presidents: 2 of 68
"Walk softly and carry a big stick." This quote pretty much summed up Theodore Roosevelt's attitude toward American foreign policy. He saw it as a duty of the "civilized" nations to impose their will on the "uncivilized," and he was more than willing to use military might to achieve his objectives. He saw acrimony as a gatewa...

Sports & Recreation > Martial Arts Why MMA will overtake boxing: 2 of 20
Mixed martial arts will certainly overtake boxing in the years to come. It's a much more pure form of combat sport. As Ultimate Fighting Championship commentator Joe Rogan said "boxing is the art of punching, MMA is the art of fighting." Mixed martial arts is a million times more exciting than boxing, and it's athletes are hi... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Key steps to stopping terrorism: 2 of 19
Stopping terrorism. Impossible to enact until we define just what constitutes a terrorist. Now I know according to the official definition offered by the United States government a terrorist is someone who kills innocents for a political end. But is it really that simple? If is it, than by our own admission, waging wars again... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) Military accountability: Walter Reed Hospital Scandal: 2 of 18
The Walter Reed scandal is just another stain on America's reputation for troop welfare after they've served their purpose of fighting. Not much has changed since Ron Kovic's experience in veteran's hospitals. We have no problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars to send our young men and women to war, but we seem to ha...

Sports & Recreation > Martial Arts From backroom to living room: The progression of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC): 1 of 9
The evolution of the UFC has been nothing short of stupendous. As a brand name the UFC has only been around for fourteen years, but it has been during the past three years that the UFC has really catapulted itself into the sporting mainstream.The UFC is simply a promotion, among many, within the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (M...

Health & Fitness > Anxiety & Panic Disorders Fear of insects: 1 of 8
Holy God no! That quick-as-lightning, nasty little creature scurrying across my kitchen floor was indeed a cockroach. I managed to catch up to the wretched beast and destroy it. After a thorough inspection and much denial I finally came to the realization that my second-worst nightmare had come true. My first would have been ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East Assessing US support of Israel: 6 of 43
The Balfour Declaration of 1917 established a national homeland for the Jews in Palestine. After World War I, with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Britain had gained colonial control of many territories in the Middle East, and this mandate came from them. The Jews had been persecuted for so long, and the Zionist movement ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our society is letting go of its morals: 14 of 96
The single most important, yet ludicrous assumption of those who view modern American society as less moral than "back then" is that things have changed. Things have not changed. Views have changed. And even more importantly, the things seen as immoral today are simply more publicized. First and foremost it's important to def... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Do immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want?: 17 of 109
The immigration question has nothing at all to do with whether or not they take jobs Americans aren't willing to do, but rather that they work for wages that Americans will not accept. Americans, like most other peoples, have and will perform any method of labor, no matter how back-breaking, if the wage is fair. There seems t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law The American flag: Love it or burn it: 4 of 23
I do not believe burning an American flag is an act of expression protected by the 1st Amendment. However, I also do not believe that there should be a Constitutional mandate banning the burning of American flags. Personally, I would not partake in what I consider to be a repugnant, self-serving, politically-motivated act of ... More..
