Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Living unconventional lifestyles

1 of 43

An unconventional or alternative lifestyle for me is a matter of choice given certain circumstances or experiences in my life. I choose to live a non-mainstream lifestyle, but I think there are many levels to this for each and every one of us who do.Anything I do behind closed doors does not constitute an unconventional lifes...

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Are we too pompous to care what the world thinks of us

1 of 24

Americans are pompous, unaware and insular, but so are people from other countries. We are all the same at the end of the day.European countries are smaller in size and population. Does the world really want to wake up and know the top stories in Belgium or Austria? I don't think so, unless it affects the entire world or indi... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures Did the TV show The Sopranos help or hurt the image of Italian-Americans?

1 of 11

There are a very few Italian-Americans still alive! I think this debate is directed more towards Americans of Italian decent.I do not think the Sopranos show hurt the image of "Americans of Italian decent!" If anything, it hurt the first and second generation New Jersey Americans of Italian decent with bad accents, big hair a... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Is it better to live in the city or the country?

4 of 41

I guess it depends on your age, family, romantic, financial and employment situation. It also depends on, which city and part of the country you are living in. I am from the inner city, but loved living in the country, during my last years of high school, because I was meeting people, finding my way and keeping my mind occupi... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Racism Can't African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, etc., just be called Americans?

9 of 74

If you were born in America and your passport is American, you are an American. What does Tiger Woods say these days? I am Asian-African-American? African-Asian-American? American-African? Lets not complicate the issue. Tiger Woods is an American. My grandparents came from Italy and my name is seldom pronounced correctly, but... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Are Mexican illegals seeking to immigrate or invade the US?

10 of 50

Every immigrant nation that came to America was accused of invading the US. Legally or illegally! Including, my Italian grandparents. The Mexican illegals are not taking jobs from Americans. They are doing the jobs that we are too lazy to do or simply cannot do. If you are angry at this, do not buy produce! Do not go to resta... More..

Food & Drink > Ethnic & International Foods Why England is not known for its cooking

5 of 25

Ignorance and lack of immigrants!It is hard to believe that a country with a rich history of colonization, did not adopt some culinary gems to call their own beyond Chicken Tikka Marsala. England, believe it or not was rich in culinary history, but recipes and traditions seemed to get lost over the years. Garlic was not impor... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Should police have to submit to routine drug and alcohol testing?

12 of 55

Police should have to submit to a routine drug test, since drugs are illegal. Alcohol, on the other hand is legal. I think driving under the influence of alcohol is another issue to be investigated, whether on duty or not.Although, police are law enforcers, I am not convinced that they are not all law-abiding citizens. They a... More..

Hobbies & Games > Video Games (Other) Does violence in video games contribute to real life violence?

48 of 218

It is not the violence in video games that directly result in real life violence. Video games are an amazing evolution of back yard cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians that we reenacted from watching old movies. We got hurt in the back yard! We inflicted pain in the schoolyard, but I think it was all part of growing up. V... More..
