Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics Is physician-assisted euthanasia a patient's right?: 7 of 20
Is physician-assisted euthanasia a pretty word for murder-suicide? Because someone wants to die, should we change the terms from suicide to euthanasia. It does make it sound more respectful doesn't it. We could say that Hitler euthanasized thousands of Jewish people instead of saying he mass murdered them. We sound so much m... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Can the government use tax issues to force churches to accept gays?: 6 of 17
If someone is being forced to be my friend, are they really a friend? If someone is being forced to "accept" non-heterosexual people, do the non-heterosexual people really want to be a part of that. For centuries, people have been taught that the Bible condemns same sex relationships. For years people have been taught this i... More..
Health & Fitness > Pediatrics Tips for reducing fever in children: 4 of 11
"Hello, Doctor's Office? Yes, my son's temp has been running above 103 degrees for two days, and now he has a temp of 104. He is unable to keep down any fluids so he is becoming dehydrated." They asked us if he was confused or incoherent. Well, he wasn't so they told us not to worry about it. Well, I knew we had to get his t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) Should the US close the military prison on Guantanamo Bay?: 7 of 19
"...I'm laying down my gun and I'm hanging up my boots....So lay me down, in that open field out on the end of town, and know my soul is where my Momma always prayed that it would go, If you're reading this, I'm already home..." -Tim McGraw They have killed America's own son's. They have killed innocent civilians. When the t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Why child molesters should receive the death penalty: 9 of 24
This would have made a great debate subject. This is Biblical justice: "an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth". You see the child molester has stolen from the child their life as it would have been had they not been molested. They have stolen from them the trust that the child would have in people. They have stolen from the ... More..
Health & Fitness > Asthma Learning your child has asthma: 5 of 13
As a parent you know that something is just not right with the way your child is breathing, but you just can't put your finger on it. You know that asthma has been on the rise in children, and you suspect that your child may have it, but you cannot just be sure. So you take your child to your pediatrician and just as you tho...

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Reactions to Tyra Banks publicly acknowledging her weight gain: 5 of 13
I think that she is wonderful. In a society where skinny people (and I mean skinny) people are considered beautiful and those who are overweight are considered stupid and without self control, I have to admire her stepping out and making an issue of it. When a woman is 5 foot 9 inches and weighs 108 pounds, that is abuse. Wh... More..
Health & Fitness > Respiratory Diseases Finding a way to live with sleep apnea: 2 of 5
Education and compliance are the two best ways of finding a way to live with sleep apnea. Understanding exactly how sleep apnea affects the body and the illnesses it can cause are imperative. Compliance to the treatments that your doctor orders and keeping up with the new treatments for sleep apnea is another way to be able ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Encounter with adult bullies: 2 of 5
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 ... More..
Arts & Humanities > The World Wars Efforts to deny the historical reality of the Holocaust: 19 of 47
I am incredibly appalled and shocked that people are denying the fact that the holocaust actually occurred. People like Corrie Ten Boom and Anne Frank, are they writing fiction? I think not. The fact that the UK is removing the Holocaust from their text books in school because it is offending the Islamic people is highly off... More..
