We look at someone and think that they... More..

I was working in a hospital on the eleventh floor. Some people came in to visit their family member. When they were getting ready to leave, they asked, "Hey are these elevators up here as slow as the ones downstairs?" My friend that they were addressing thought they were kidding. When she realized that they were not kidding, ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Why some people cannot succeed

"If you think that you can, or if you think that you can't, you are right."Some people cannot succeed at things simply because they do not want to or they just don't try hard enough. Some people are too lazy and other people have too much negative "self-talk". Some people fail once and refuse to try again. Lucky for us Thomas... More..

We all came from different places. We all have roots from other countries, backgrounds, and ethnic groups. My grandparents came from the Czech Republic. My own mother didn't speak English until she started school. However, she refused to teach her own children to speak her native language because she wanted us to "be American... More..

I absolutely love the article by Sharon Obrien. Bravo Sharon, very eloquently written.I work in a hospital where Doctors are actually reprimanded for being abrasive or disrespecting to the hospital staff. However, that doesn't stop Doctors from being overbearing at times. It is the ego that they have. They figure that they ha... More..

The Hispanics are probably the people speaking the loudest, because they are the ones that the spotlight is being put on as far as illegal immigration. There are talks of putting up a wall between the United States and Mexico because of all of the people who live here in the United States but have no papers. There are groups ... More..

"I was born an American, I will live an American and I will die an American"Teaching our children to say the Pledge of Allegiance is one of the things in this country that we should never abandon.

Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Pornography does not cause rape

18 of 18

Does owning a gun cause armed bank robbery? Does owning knifes cause stabbings? What causes these things is a conscience decision of the owner to do a crime. Am I for pornography? That would be a heck NO! I think that it is a horrible evil in our society today. I think that it is addicting and can destroy marriages, relations... More..
