Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Smoking in the UK: Was the government right to ban smoking in all public places
3 of 31

So was the government right to ban smoking in public places? Smokers would say no, naturally but non-smokers would agree with the government. Why should non-smokers be forced to inhale second hand smoke? They chose NOT to smoke but via second hand smoke they have no choice but to. I have came across smokers who have said the... More..

Jobs & Careers > Stress & Time Management The daily grind: How 'commuting' is bad for the soul
4 of 19

Commuting, whether it is for work or study, can be a nightmare. I personally have never had to commute for work but I did travel over 80 miles 4 days a week when I attended college.

It can often be hard for a mother, or father, to leave their child to cry alone and while I don't agree with parents allowing their children to use tears to get their own way, I also agree that sometimes you just cannot leave a child in that state.

You look in the mirror. Your collarbone is clearly visible. You can see every rib in your body, all 24 of them. Your pelvic bone sticks out of your body. As you slide on your size 0 jeans they fit your tiny body perfectly but is it worth it? As I sit and type this I look at my own body. I cannot see my ribs. My pelvic bone d... More..
