Politics, News & Issues > US Law & Justice (Other) Is illegal immigration good for America: 1 of 38
Is illegal immigration good for America? When faced with this question, a few answers immediately come to mind; no, no and no! I am hesitant to put forth judgment upon the instigator of such an absurd question, but in order to address it honestly, my personal feelings must be revealed.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues If God is so powerful, why does evil exist: 2 of 71
God created free will. He allows man to choose between right and wrong; good and evil. Although god does have the power to completely destroy the existence of evil, he won't. That would negate his whole concept of free will. God wants us to choose good over evil, not force us to do so. As far as I'm concerned , that short exp... More..

The importance of seeking a balance in positive news to combat the negative With a world full of hate, racism, crime, corruption in politics, war, and so many more self-destructive events, negativity within society is on the rampage.

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our society is letting go of its morals: 5 of 96
Is society letting go of it's morals? Society began losing it's morals a long time ago. In fact, since man has been on this earth, he has experienced, at some rate, a decline of his morals and ethics, beginning with Adam and Eve.

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Society's values vs. personal values: 3 of 52
Society's values vs. personal values Society's values and personal values have many similarities, but when put to the comparison test ,are deceptively different. What you see on the surface is not what it appears. Beware of sheep in wolves clothing! Common beliefs of society can fall under the general categories of religion, ... More..

Should teens have sex education in schools? Our teenage and adolescent years are our most memorable and influential times in our lives. This is the point at which we are being introduced to a whole new world. The world of "Growing Up!" Every aspect of our lives revolves around sex; and I don't mean the act of sex. I am referr...

Society & Lifestyle > Society & Lifestyle (Other) Beauty pageants are not obsolete: 1 of 10
Are beauty pageants obsolete? Unfortunately, no. But it would seem that there is less and less interest and emphasis on this manner of degrading and pointless competition. This type of activity just goes to show how shallow-minded mankind can be. Society's goal is to move forward in regards to respect for our fellow man, equa... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Views on abortion: 23 of 223
Views on abortion I am not an advocate of abortion. Whether in or out of the womb, a human being is a human being. I realize that there are many technicalities involved in determining when a fetus becomes a person. Many believe believe that the point at which the male sperm penetrates the female egg is the point at which an o... More..
Entertainment > Television (Other) TV as a friend: 4 of 36
T.V. as a friend!? I am reminded of the saying,"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"! As an owner of a television, you are doing both. While I am a very big fan of some television programming, I am also aware of the negative effects most programming has on the human mind. When I watch television, it mostly consist... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: If there was a cure for homosexuality: 4 of 31
If there was a cure for homosexuality, this world would then be able to "loosen one notch" in the "belt of immorality" which is squeezing the life out of it. As if the Twentieth century hadn't already sustained enough of a decline in morals and ethics, now the door to a "Twenty-first century hell" is wide open for any and all... More..
