Arts & Humanities > English Language Improving your English: 2 of 61
Practice makes perfect! We've heard it said a million times, but usually if something is cliche', and it's been said more than we can count, then there's probably some truth to it. I believe that the best way to improve your English is to submerge yourself in situations which will require you to use the language. One of the m... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Reactions to Michael Richards' racial comments: 2 of 31
I find Michael Richards' recent performance at the Laugh Factory to be disgusting and completely inexcusable, despite the fact that I have been a fan of Seinfeld for years, and in fact, Kramer was my favorite character!

Relationships & Family > Cheating & Trust Issues Can a relationship with a cheater work out?: 14 of 44

Relationships & Family > Children & Divorce Can one parent ask for child support, after the child has been adopted by someone else?: 2 of 3
When a child is adopted (for instance by a new husband), the parental rights of the non custodial parent are terminated, as is the child support obligation. By legally adopting the child, the new husband has in effect said that this is his child and he is now fully responsible for the support of that child. Termination of par... More..
Entertainment > Music (Other) Are great singers born with their talent?: 40 of 57
Ah yes, this is one of the many questions that takes us to that much greater matter of debate: Nature or Nurture?
