Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Being trapped: 13 of 115
In my mind, as in my soul, A darkness lay I don't control. A cage of man, which is not me. A want to fit society. The dressing right to show my couth, A hairstyle just to please untruth. The need to be just only me, But trapped inside society. To dance the dance that is my own, To deafly follow my own tone. I break the chain... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Vanessa Hudgens nude photo leak: 3 of 25
Why would this young woman have a nude photo taken? A rising star of intelligence, she would have to know the consequences of a leaking of this photo. I ponder the question, "Why?" I feel an overwhelming sadness for her young fans. That now, it is a somewhat "guilty of pornography" without trial. Personally, I still hold tha... More..

The Ten Commandments are rules for living life unselfishly, a moral guide to life. These commandments, called the Decalogue, found in the "Torah" (Old Testament) of the Judea/Christian Bible.

Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues Banning the "N word" slur for African-Americans: A good intention butts against free speech: 7 of 45
That "N" Word blasts from a passing car. Could be a driver showing off a premium sound system or maybe just the first on the block to have the new CD.

Women and men want "Fairness", not "Equality". Of course, the different aspects of this will always vary between individuals, but some things are more all encompassing than others are. A man wants a woman to recognize his needs and respect them. Most often, this centers on a male bonding outside a female/male relationship. P... More..
Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Remembering the last time someone told you they loved you: 3 of 18
It is very easy to say, "I love you". I do not actually remember the last time someone said this to me. I do remember the many occasions that I have heard these words. I also remember the one kiss in my life that said it all, no words necessary. I wonder how many people have had this. Not a kiss of sexual desire or need for ... More..
