Politics, News & Issues > Economic News Will rising gas prices in America cause an economic depression?: 2 of 29
Yes, gas/fuel prices may cause a depression if they go back up as they did in 2008. Very high fuel prices, the housing thing and consumer spending cutbacks created this recession we are now in. With a recession already in progress, if we're hit again by very high fuel prices in the near future, a depression will likely follow... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Choosing the best Republican candidates for President in 2008: 2 of 25
The 2008 election is a benchmark election in that it brings the middle and lower economical classes against the power grabbing Washington elite in such a resounding way it nearly deafens anyone listening. It has been going on for years now and really started picking up steam with the election of Reagan.Take the people out of ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Contemplating the existence of God: 27 of 174
Contemplating the existence of God. What other reason can you give for our very existence? The scientific explanations of a big bang that came from nowhere and all life coming from some obscure one cell that just happened are ridiculous when a sane person looks at it in the light he should. Sure the big bang theory may have ... More..
Autos > Auto Repair (Other) DIY automotive repair: How to diagnose suspension problems: 1 of 6
Realizing that most people will likely be confused by the content of this article, what's real and what's not are two completely different things.

Autos > Auto Body Repair Do-it-yourself car repair: Fixing a dent on your car's body: 1 of 6
At some point a vehicle gets too old to make it worthwhile to keep full coverage insurance in force on it. A sensible person will drop the full coverage and only keep liability insurance in force. I only have liability on my 4x4 pickup that is 12 years old and is driven only once in a while. I figured total loss of the pickup... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: My first car: 9 of 50
My first car was a 1950 Ford with a flat head V8 that was owned by a company on the coast in the marina business. The car had a lot of miles as well as wear and tear but for $25 it was a gem in my eyes. I was a year too young for drivers license but I figured it would take me that long to get it road ready. Well I undertook ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: The second coming of Christ and the rapture: 11 of 51
Personally I think people in general have got the wrong idea of what the Bible says or refers to. You see, the Bible is written to confuse everyone until a person becomes a reborn Christian. If you read what the Bible says about a reborn Christian, you will find it says that person needs no instruction because God thru the H... More..
Autos > Auto Repair (Other) How to do your own car repairs: 3 of 12
The first rattle out of the box is to realize that to repair your own car requires at least some basic tools and/or a tool kit. You'll find that you must be committed enough in your own repair to fork over several hundred or even thousands of dollars depending on the extent of repairs you make. An engine overhaul, for instanc... More..
Home & Garden > Electrical Repairs What you should know about fuses and your fuse box: 1 of 4
In homes built in recent years, the term "fuse box" has been replaced by "breaker box". The term "fuses" has largely been replaced by the term "breakers" as far as home wiring is concerned.
