Entertainment > Music (Other) Is listening to music at work calming or distracting?

7 of 66

Music is not only calming, but often it is absolutely necessary for reducing the stress of the work environment. I know that many may disagree with me on this point and argue that stress is simply a part of work and that I should just "suck it up" and deal with it. In regards to that perspective, I will have to respectfully d... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Is eighteen too young to vote?

15 of 102

When a person considers that the main factor cited for the '04 re-election of George W. Bush was that he was the candidate most people would rather "have a beer with", I think that a reassessment of our cultural values in regards to voting age is in order. Is eighteen too young to vote? Absolutely not! When I listen to forty-... More..

On-line radio is a life-saver for anyone who spends much of their time working in front of a computer! It's also a wonderful source of new music and entertainment that anyone with a computer, internet connection and PC speakers can immediately access and enjoy. Here are the top three, in my opinion:1.

Politics, News & Issues > Environment (Other) Is it fair to ask underdeveloped countries to "go green" when many advanced industrial countries owe their success to destructive environmental practices?

22 of 58

The world, as it is in 2008, is an unimaginably complex and interconnected place. More importantly, our realization of this interconnectedness is now undeniable and demands that we take into consideration the ramifications of individual actions on the globe as a whole. In no other area of study is this clearer than in regards... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why people should consider an Agnostic approach

24 of 38

Agnosticism is not entirely where I am at, myself. I tend to lean more to the atheist side of the 'non-believers' category, but I do think that for many of those who are devoted to, or associated with a particular faith, considering the option of Agnosticism may be a worthy decision. It has been my experience that most people... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Styles (Other) Parenting in the new millennium

20 of 26

When my son was born in 2003, I remember the immediate sensation of my mind being blown as I recalled being a child in the '80's and '90's, and thinking that the 21st Century seemed so foreign and so distant. Yet, there I was, holding my nine-pound newborn in my arms and being floored by the fact that my son would never know ... More..

Entertainment > TV Characters & Personalities Memorable TV cartoon characters of the past and present

"Doh!" Oh, how that phrase puts a smile on my face! Homer Simpson is, without a doubt, the most ingenious cartoon character of the past couple of decades. I know, I know, there's a lot of worthy competition out there-even from Homer's own show. Montgomery Burns, Comic Book Store Guy, Troy McClure and Grandpa Simpson come to m... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Should Paris Hilton get one million dollars to tell her jailhouse story on NBC?

93 of 97

Paris shouldn't get a million dollars to tell her story, but ultimately she'll get whatever she wants for it. She spent 23 whole days in jail. Now that she's out, the 'media' is salivating to know what it was like for the poor little white rich girl to spend 3 weeks behind bars with the lower classes; eating jail food, sleepi... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Atheism vs. religion

46 of 47

Atheism has improved my life. I realize that may sound somewhat pretentious, but it's true.I, like most Americans, was raised as a Christian. My mother and grandmother were especially insistent that I have a "close relationship with God". While I can't say that this didn't have some positive imprints on my life, I will say th... More..
