Health & Fitness > Alternative Therapies Should people pursue naturopathic remedies when they have cancer?: 1 of 5
The "C" word is something none of us wants to hear. I heard it with my mother and it is a devastating diagnosis to receive. Cancer took my mother quickly but had she lived with the disease for any length of time there is no way she would have strayed from traditional medicine.Naturopathic medicine has nothing to offer in term...

Pets & Animals > Dog Care & Health Reasons for removing a dog's dewclaws: 1 of 5
Dew claws are the 5th digit on a dog's foot. These digits are the only ones that never touch the ground so they continue to grow throughout the dog's life. So constant trimming is in order, although today most dogs require constant nail clipping for all their nails because they spend much less time outside than dogs in previo... More..
Sports & Recreation > Hockey Should NHL require hockey players to wear neck guards?: 1 of 5
Hockey can be a beautiful and graceful sport and can be beautiful to watch. The skating, the passes and the goaltending (among other things) can be beautiful to watch but no one talks of hockey in those terms. They talk of fights and scrums and all the nastiness that does happen in the game. One of the things that does happen... More..
Relationships & Family > Acquaintances & Co-Workers Should ex-lovers be friends?: 5 of 24
As we know, love is a many splendored thing; at least until we break up that is. Then things can get decidedly messy; too messy in most cases to even want to remain friends. Why bother? After all they "dun" you wrong and you don't need men or women anymore. That might be a little much but something happened and you are at the... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Is the Bible the word of God: 9 of 42
People must grow up and recognize that the bible is pure myth. It is composed of a series of books written by various men at different times in history. There are many authors of the so-called bible, all of them human and because of that there are many, many problems and contradictions within its pages. There is no evidence a... More..

The Lambs of Christ.If you are familiar with any of these names then you will realize that terrorism will exist in any democracy.

Travel > Travel Planning & Advice Are guided or solo tours better when traveling?: 5 of 23
To solo or not solo; that is the question. But what is the answer? The answer is actually simple. It's always great to take off on an adventure on your own. To boldly go where you've never gone before. Solo touring offers many advantages over the guided tour. The guided tour while assuring that you won't miss too many of the ... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Tales of delinquent pets: 7 of 32
As much as anyone I hate crime. Fortunately I have never been a victim of any crime except for being robbed by the government at tax time but you can relate to that I'm sure. Anyway, over the course of the past few months my partner has been the victim of crime. Actually, she has been the victim of numerous crimes over that t... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Working Parents Can working women be good mothers?: 2 of 9
Women are the main cause of our economic problems! Now, women are going to yell and gnash their lovely little teeth at the very thought of this. "How could this be? Who is this jerk? All I do is work for a living I need to work because I need to be all that I can be and being in the army causes too many broken nails." That's ... More..
Sciences > Astronomy Reflections on the existence of UFOs: 2 of 9
Aliens are a popular subject today, more popular than perhaps at any other time in history.
