Politics, News & Issues > US News Reflections: The Minneapolis bridge collapse (08/01/07): 2 of 49
This is indeed a tragedy and it brings shock to all Americans. We as Americans take too much for granted. I agree that our transportation system could use a tune up not because of this but because of the ever depleting fuel supply. Lets face it, when was the last time a major bridge or section of highway collapsed equal to th... More..
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues Should cell phone use be banned while driving?: 6 of 112
Absolutely not! One of the pre-requisites of obtaining a drivers license is being able to successfully keep your attention focused on several things at once, traffic congestion, road conditions, pedestrians on the sidewalks, and even that cat crouched by the tire of that parked car. Talking on a cell phone is a lot less distr... More..
Education > Homeschooling Is homeschooling better than formal education?: 9 of 67
As a product of home schooling, I would say no. I don't necessarily think that home schooled kids are less intelligent, that greatly depends on the parents' involvement.

We were searching for the perfect breed that would co-exist with our young children the best. After about two years we finely decided on this breed and we haven't regre... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Should Nicole Richie do jail time for her second DUI conviction?: 46 of 62
Drunk driving is taken all too lightly if you ask me. There are places (here in the states) where people get 2, 3, 4 or more DUI's and still have done no, or very little, jail time. And what good does a suspended license do? Nothing if they don't learn from the several DUI citations that they have already had, they know drivi... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: How to stop smoking: 32 of 39
Is smoking a habit, comfort or addiction to you? As with all other types of labels' we put on our-selves or the things we do, we label it something that we find more acceptable to our-selves or what may seem more acceptable to others. It doesn't matter what smoking is to you; if you set your mind to stop you can do it. Findin... More..
