Personal Finance > Managing Debt Steps to becoming debt-free
1 of 52

As a former debt collector I have seen many people in way over their heads when it comes to managing their finances. Most people in this situation are so lost when it comes to managing their money they have no idea what they can do to help themselves. The good news is I have firsthand experience watching many people clean up... More..

Pets & Animals > Reptiles & Amphibians Reptiles that make the best pets
9 of 30

My Mom, bless her heart, has put up with my adoration of the slimy and scaly. She grew up in a family where the words, "Look a snake!" were quickly followed by the words, "Kill it quickly!" Her entire family hated reptiles with a passion, especially snakes. So when I told her I planned on purchasing a Royal Python (aka Ball ... More..

Business > Business News & Issues Pros and cons of outsourcing jobs to low-cost countries
2 of 5

The following was a Thesis Paper I wrote last month. Hope you enjoy: Swarms of Chinese and Indians are stealing food off your table and pinching money out of your pocketat least that's what opponents of offshore outsourcing want you to believe. Quite a bit of spin and political propaganda attached to this subject but the fac... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Football Reflections on Michael Vick's alleged involvement with dog fighting
45 of 74

Roger Goodell has been a Godsend in recent weeks. The man has let the players know bad behavior will not be tolerated in his league. The NFL doesn't need players like Pacman Jones or Tank Johnson in order to be successful but to be successful players like Jones or Johnson absolutely need the NFL. The celebrity status they en...

Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Asia Should Japan apologize for victimizing Chinese and Korean "comfort women" in World War II?Smallicon
4 of 6

Japan owes no apologies. What we are asking this country to do is to apologize for the sins of their fathers. A few representatives in the House are trying to embarrass a nation who has become a staunch ally of the United States for their own political gain. The nation of Japan has turned away from that practice, no longer f... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Abortions: Should the father have some say?Smallicon
21 of 30

One of the problems we see in society today is young men who shirk their responsibilities as husbands and fathers. But when we debate on topics like, "Does a father have the right to voice his opinion on the life of his child?" we send a very clear message to men. The message is that men simply do not matter. If we want to s... More..

Personal Finance > Managing Debt Things to watch out for in debt management
12 of 16

Many Americans are living a paycheck to paycheck nightmare. They have a pile of debt which never seems to go down with a savings account which shrinks every month. These people slave away at their jobs all week desperately trying to get to payday only to see their hard earned funds vanish as soon as the money posts to their ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Should ancient dates use the Christian BC/AD or Common Era BCE/CE acronymns?Smallicon
7 of 9

Another ridiculous argument attempting to undermine religion. The sad part is that most of the kids who are supposed to know what BC and AD mean probably don't know and likely are not taught the information by their parents. The people who want this reform to happen paint a picture of the poor minority children who don't bel... More..

Personal Finance > Credit Cards Should teens have credit cards?Smallicon
50 of 62

Absolutely teenagers should have credit cards. The common sense of the argument against it really doesn't make much sense. After all,we have no problems with teenagers joining the armed forces and going off to war or voting for the next President. How are we supposed to entrust them with such responsibilities if we don't hav... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Is America ready for a Mormon president?
11 of 13

Americans are good at ignoring whatever we do not want to see if it gets us the result we want. We can take any number of examples to prove this point, such as supporters of President Bush who will ignore some of his destructive environmental policies because he has taken an offensive stance in protecting the United States. ...
