Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Gay rights and the Christian church: 13 of 141
Christianity's perspective on homosexuality is, contrary to popular belief, anything but black and white. More and more as people are coming into daily contact with people who identify as gay or lesbian, their values and commonsensical ideas are being challenged. Not everyone one who reads the Bible comes to the same honest c... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights The lover as rapist: An alarming trend: 7 of 52
I find it odd to describe rape by a partner as a "trend". This is more than a trend. A trend implies something that develops than fades. The existence of rape in relationships is hardly something new, nor something that is going to casually fade away. To this day, there exists no crime of rape within marriage. The right to co...

Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics Should doctors be allowed to continue performing cosmetic operations on intersex infants?: 1 of 7
Intersex doesn't really have one solid definition. The medical community is nice enough to leave it out of the books and is opting for something called Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD). While this has it's issues, I'll leave it for now.The Intersex Society of North America (ISNA - www.isna.org) provides a pretty good def... More..

1. Resume and cover letter comes first. Make sure your resume and cover letter are specified for the company and position you are applying for.

Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Pornography does not cause rape: 8 of 18
The desire for violent sex must originate somewhere. Some people seem to believe that violent porn depicting women enjoying rape or degrades women causes a corrosion of morals and lends to increases in violent sexual behavior. Well, there had to be a demand for violent porn in the first place, or else it would not sell. Why d... More..
Education > Financing College How to pay for the high price of college textbooks: 1 of 2
1. Avoid buying new. If you can get to the bookstore early, they will still have copies of used books. Many bookstores also allow you to return books right in the beginning of the semester when students are still finalizing their schedules, so if you have a book you end up not using in your class, make sure to get it back the...

Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should homosexuals receive all the rights and benefits of marriage?: 68 of 129
The purpose of civil marriage is to allow two people to join together in a legally recognized bond and enter into contracts which recognize their commitment to one another and their decision to join. Marriage allows partners to make medical decisions for one another, access to spousal privilege in court cases, and helps facil... More..
Arts & Humanities > Theater & Drama Technical theatre appreciation: 6 of 11
What I have found to be the main tension between "techies" and the actors/directors, is that often times people are unfamiliar with what the tech department can offer them, and become frustrated if it does not meet up to what they expect. Maybe my experience has been with inexperienced directors, but many times they give vagu... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Adoption Is it appropriate for gay couples to adopt children?: 39 of 67
It is entirely appropriate.Is it fair to deny a child loving want-to-be-parents who are actively fighting for the right to be parents? Before they even have a child, their dedication is already shining through. Our foster-care system is already over-burdened. Loving, capable parents should not be turned away. Many children th...

Society & Lifestyle > Racism Reverse racism: The other face (of discrimination): 28 of 40
These is no such thing as reverse racism. Racism requires that the perpetrator of the ideology have privilege over the group they are discriminating against or mistreating. A white person killing a black person because of racist hatred is not the same thing as a black person killing a white person because of racist hatred. Wh... More..
