Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Frivolous lawsuits in America: 1 of 20

Americans are the creators of the most frivolous lawsuits in the world. It seems as though everyone in this country is greedy and will do anything it can to make a profit; including suing people for anything they can think of. I just read a book by John Saul. It is a fictional horror but this one part raised one of the dumbe...
Entertainment > Movie Remakes & Adaptations Arguments for and against movie remakes: 2 of 31

I write this rant just coming off of seeing The Omen (2006). A summary of my issues with remakes is as follows: pointless tweaks, scene for scene remakes, titles, too different vs. not different enough, time span between original and remake. I'm sorry but I thought this The Omen (2006) remake was a total waste of time and fi...

Everyone knows that mankind is rude. There are real people all over the world, regardless of age, sex, race, disabled, or anything. It is just in our genes.

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Poking fun at politicians: Trends in US political satire: 1 of 8

Young people have been increasingly getting their political news from two odd sources, being Comedy Central and HBO.

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Views on abortion: 17 of 120

This is a very simple argument for me. It is up to the individual woman. It is her body, which no one but her owns, so the decision should be up to her. Why is the government involved with abortion at all? They do not own any individual person, so they should stay out of other people's business. This is a democracy and we vo...

I think that the fox hunting tradition in the UK should be ended because I consider it cruelty to animals. I do not know the exact details about fox hunting but, based on what I have seen and read, a fox hunt consists of a fox being released into the woods and men on horseback following the trail left by their hound dogs tha...
