Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?: 87 of 306
The English writer Clive James said that if you were afraid of television, you were afraid of the world.

Obviously, there is a hell of a l... More..
Arts & Humanities > Political Philosophy Where true freedom begins and ends: 13 of 44
The terminology "freedom" is problematic. In the American sense, it denotes a specific way of life that has been deemed American. George Bush talks a great deal about freedom, but who is to say that a person living in a democratic place like America is any freer on a personal level than somebody living in a non-democratic co...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Best and worst bosses: 19 of 56
To be honest, having a cynical and fairly resolutely Marxist position on matters of work doesn't exactly make me warm to many bosses. In my time, I've had dozens of bosses, the great majority of whom have exhibited traits that I could easily call loathsome. Here are a few of the characters that I've met during my fateful rel...

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Should Saddam Hussein be put to death?: 10 of 27
The problem is that if Saddam Hussein gets executed then a lot of misguided people will see him as a martyr. However, if he is put into prison for life then, like Hess with the neo-nazi movement he will become a living icon for the people who loathe the west and will see his imprisonment as unjust. Although he has killed and... More..
Education > Educational Philosophy Should all parents, regardless of income, be able to choose where to send their children to school?: 9 of 24
Providing you agree that all children are born equal, and that certain types of children should not be discriminated against based on their wealth, race and gender, then the egalitarian ideal of equal opportunity should be upheld! The sociologist Emile Durkheim suggested that crime and deviant behavior originated from a mism... More..

Jobs & Careers > Employers Worst companies to work for: 16 of 39
Believe me, having worked as a temp in Nowhereville for two years after getting my university degree, I have had more than my fair share of hellish and menial employment. From the sheer, relentless tedium of shoving a never-ending stream of conveyor belt broccoli into an endless procession of cardboard boxes, to the abject h... More..
Arts & Humanities > Philosophy (Other) Why living forever isn't a good idea: 19 of 44
Living forever wouldn't be so good if you had to remember everything that you did. You'd probably get bored of everything eventually, and you'd just want it all to end. But if you forgot about things all the time (like human beings do), then things would feel fresh and exciting every time you did them. Then living forever wo... More..
