Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should Federal prisons ban religious books from library jails?: 3 of 18

Prisoners give up some of their rights when they commit crimes which land them in prison, but the freedom of religion guaranteed in our Constitution should not be one of them. Secular thinkers fear religion because they simply don't understand it. They make arguments about the viability of religions as though usefulness shou...
Computers & Technology > Computer Buying Tips What to know when choosing the right computer brand for you: 1 of 6

If you are looking to buy a pre-built or built-to-order computer, choosing the right manufacturer may make a big difference in your satisfaction. Factors such as cost, hardware options, customer service, warranty, assembly time (if built-to-order), and shipping all come into play. Let's examine each factor in that order. Cos...
Computers & Technology > Computer Buying Tips If you only have one computer, should you choose a desktop or a laptop?: 4 of 23

The question depends more than anything on how you plan to use your computer. While I chose the desktop side of this debate, I will say up front that anyone who has a very mobile lifestyle and wants to easily take their computer with them is better off with a laptop. But a majority of computer users are not traveling busines...
Computers & Technology > Operating Systems Deciding when to upgrade to Windows Vista: 2 of 11

If you're looking to buy a whole new computer, the answer is simple: go ahead and buy a system preloaded with Vista Home Premium (not Basic) or a more advanced version (like Ultimate). If you're looking to build your own system soon, I'd recommend building it with Vista in mind (see info about hardware coming up). Even if yo...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Why rules are essential for society: 1 of 5

I would use the following working definition for society: a group of people living in the same geographical area in relative harmony, interacting with one another in mostly civil manner. To have relative harmony and civil interactions, rules are required. Without rules there is anarchy, in other words every man for himself. ...
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should the United States have universal health care?: 9 of 42

Insurance works as follows: everyone in a plan pays premiums, which in turn pay the costs covered by the insurance company that are incurred by those under the plan. In health insurance, or any other type of insurance for that matter, a minority of those enrolled could swallow up a majority of the total paid premiums, while ...
Computers & Technology > Computer Buying Tips Tips for building your own game PC: 1 of 4

First, be prepared to spend a good bit for a great gaming PC. It probably won't cost you as much to build your own as it would to buy a top-notch gaming PC from a company, but it will still cost you at least a couple thousand dollars. If you're OK with the expense issue, then it's time to choose parts. You'll want performanc...
Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Paradoxes in debates about the origins of the world: 1 of 4

I have read in this category title an article that discusses the author's "plastic cup and ball theory." You'll have to read the article to understand, but basically the author argues that "infinity is a paradox and we are a living impossibility." I see the same basic problem in the root of every postmodernist argument again...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms What you can learn about people from their garbage: 1 of 4

One thing you can learn about people from their garbage is what they like to eat. If you find plenty of pizza boxes, Chinese food cartons, cardboard items from McDonalds/Burger King/any other fast food restaurant, you know these people hate to do any sort of food preparation whatsoever and buy from restaurants whenever possi...
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Morals: Do they still exist or have they been discarded?: 1 of 4

A vocal portion of the population sincerely believes that the USA is a traditionally secular nation and therefore has no business observing or maintaining any aspects of its largely Christian heritage. How sad. Not only do they completely miss out on a clear historical truth, but the things they seek to banish from American ...
