Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) Should the US continue to be the leader in world politics?: 1 of 57
During WWIII, the US was forced to break out of its policy of isolationism with a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Many historians agree that by the end of the war, the US was left as the world's sole remaining superpower. It, therefore, had the supposed duty of rebuilding the war-torn nations and peoples of the world. The ea... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Understanding why people stereotype: 3 of 44
All societies have cultures, and all societies overlap culture. Culture exists everywhere - in schools, in religious groups, in races, in neighbourhoods and states etc. Where there is a cause, or even as much as an opportunity for division, there is a different culture formed along the lines of that division. Culture bonds th... More..

This journey I did not ask to start,This life I did not beg to live,This man I did not hope to become,This world I did not wish to see.I took my first step,the earth I touched.The trees sang by my stepsAnd the world came to my feet.I took my first wife,the vows I swore.The trees shook with my promiseAnd the man broke from the...

Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace To what extent was the Cold War the outcome of distrust between the USA and the USSR: 1 of 7
The Cold War had been a war of words, rather than of actual weaponry, between the West Led by the USA and the east led by the USSR. Earlier viewpoints of the war saw it as the aggression of either side to start the war, whereas latter theories saw neither side to blame, each merely serving to protect its national interests. T...

Computers & Technology > Business & Office Software Software reviews: Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 9 Box: 1 of 7
I find the Dragon NaturallySpeaking suite of speech recognition software to be the best in the field. That is of course, not to say that it is error-free - significant improvements have to be made, but given that perfect speech recognition remains something of science fiction novels, NaturallySpeaking is the leader amongst al...

The walk into the room, the silence of my look.The notice of our common history, the return of her wonders.Her present, my past.The crafted seat, the hidden smile.The curious face, her beautiful eyes.The awkwardness of that eternity, the cloaked gaze of our minds.The exotic moment, the sweetest ritual.The deafness of our feel...

Politics, News & Issues > US Economy Reflections: The surge in rising gas prices: 4 of 20
The role of high government taxes on oil has been largely overlooked by those looking to cast blame for rising gas prices.Financial Times, Thomas Catan writes, "Governments are increasing taxes on oil companies and politicians have turned them [the oil companies] into scapegoats for rising energy costs." In fact, I very much ... More..
Sports & Recreation > Kayaking Kayak reviews: Perception Eclipse: 1 of 4
The Eclipse looks nothing like a kayak - it is too bold and too daring. Sharply-edged ends break the helpless waters as the kayakist in it paddles fiercely.An expedition kayak, the Eclipse gives the kayakist an impression that it is fast, sensitive and cool. Indeed, the Eclipse's build alone yields some clue to its performanc... More..
Sciences > Biology (Other) Is the human race evolving or devolving?: 9 of 35
I think everyone of us (other than real religious fundamentalists) would have heard of, and maybe agreed even, on the idea that we humans, after undergoing millions of years of evolution, have finally stopped evolving. Indeed, Man's technological advances have overtaken Nature's evolutionary advances to render evolution obsol... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Mixed race: The identity crisis: 7 of 27
What in the world is a pure race? Race is but a majority of bloodline percentages. Who today can claim himself to have only Chinese, British or Pakistani blood? In fact, one can say that he is of any race, but ultimately we might as well say we all are Africans - that is where our ancestors all came from, after all.People of ... More..
