Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology Is there such a thing as a true man of our dreams: 3 of 39
Yes, there is such a thing as a true man of our dreams. He will remain true so long as you leave him there; in your dreams. To ask for anything more is to invite trouble. There is no such thing as a perfect man. In your dreams you can live out whatever fantasy you choose. Your dream man can be strong, handsome, silent,and con... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?: 25 of 254
The Bible should never have been used for swearing-in ceremonies in court. It was always improper and clearly forbidden by the Bible itself. Matthew 5:33-37 states:33.

Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights Backlash by feminists against Oprah's support of Obama for president: 1 of 6
It is ludicrous for feminist to get upset over Oprah Winfrey's choice for president. She has the right to support whomever she pleases. You do not vote for someone, because they are the same gender as you, any more than you should vote for someone simply because they are the same race as you. If feminist are that dumb, then b...

When I was just four years old I would help my grandmother plant seeds in our family garden. My little hands would hold a fistful of mustard, beans, corn, cucumber, etc. No matter how small the seeds were; I would place them meticulously, one at a time, at the depth described to me by my grandma. I was very proud of doing a g... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should the age of sexual consent become standardized across all US states?: 3 of 14
The age of sexual consent should be standardized across the US states for the protection of minors. (There is a standard age for voting.) A legal age for sexual consent that is the same in all states protects adults as well. Most of the statutes as written were meant for girls. {The intent was to define what age was allowable... More..
