Travel > Travel (Other) Has Muslim extremism damaged world tourism irrevocably?

14 of 25

Muslim extremism has damaged American travel to other countries around the world irrevocably, not world tourism in general. Americans hardly traveled outside US borders prior to 9/11, let alone after. CNN and the Nightly News have cautioned us, if we travel, to be vigilant. What is the point of traveling? I lived in England ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Which baseball team has the most loyal fans: The Boston Red Sox or the New York Yankees?

18 of 30

Hilarious! The writer on the Yankee side is absolutely right! It is not that Red Sox fans are more loyal; it is that we are more insane, but insanity came with the wait for the title. That title cried out childhood memories and made dreams come true for many generations, but it tasted so much better for Sox fans than any of ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Sonia Sotomayor: Loyal to the Constitution or to Latino interests?

3 of 5

Sonia Sotomayor has dug herself a deep hole with her generalizing comment. It was not only a racist remark, but a sexist remark. I do not question Sotomayor's loyalty to the US Constitution nor do I question her pride for her background, which I personally feel is a very common American thing to do, but not necessarily a hea...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Do we really know what it means to be saved

14 of 23

Being saved to some people means accepting God, his teachings and following them through day to day. I have no problem with this method. I accept this. Other people like myself, prefer to save oneself by means of self-belief and inner determination to better oneself. To me, it is not about a book, set of guidelines or an unk... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Is the Mexican Mafia a threat to the United States?

8 of 13

Any organized crime is a threat to the US, but the Mexican mafia is no more of a threat than the Italian or Russian mafia. I feel any threat to the US is on a criminal level, which RICO was devised to make cases against organized crime easier. Right? The Mafia does not exist to conquer the US with large-scale ideology, which... More..

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Is Dan Rather right to accuse Katie Couric of dumbing down and tarting up the news?

5 of 8

Katie Couric Legs? What is going on here? On the left side of this Helium debate page, there is a link to Katie Couric legs! There is no way I can write to the "NO" side of this debate after seeing this. Old geezer Rather has all the right to give an opinion, whether or not you like the 60 Minutes left to live cast. Katie ha... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Economic News Why a "made in the USA" label is better than a "made in China" label

5 of 8

I am not sure. Why is it better to see a "Made in America" label than "Made in China? Is it better? Who ever declared that American made products where/are better than anywhere else in the world? To me, a "Made in Germany," label means ultimate performance vehicles produced better than anywhere else in the world. To me, a "M... More..

Sports & Recreation > Baseball (Other) Where Baseball's Red Sox Nation lives: Fenway Park - MLB's oldest ballpark

7 of 11

On a dark and misty September afternoon in 1976, the clock struck 12:30PM. My first grade teacher called my name without emotion and we proceeded outside the classroom into the hallway. Scared to death she finally noticed me swiping extra Hood chocolate milk out of the crate during lunch, I gasped a breath of ammonia from th... More..

Food & Drink > Salad Recipes Recipes: Lobster salad

9 of 14

This recipe substitutes Calamari (squid) and Bacala (salted cod fish) with lobster. Both of them are tearfully delicious. Boil one or two lobsters and leave to cool. Take meat from the claws and tail and cut into bite size pieces. Mix lobster meat with the following ingredients in a bowl: Virgin olive oil Microscopically dic... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Why the US presidential election matters to the average American

28 of 42

I am trying to think of who the average American is? I am not sure I can really pin point this, so I split it up into random friends from different states I have discussed this issue with over the past few months. I came to the conclusion that ithe election does matter, but it does not mean that all people will vote. Affluen... More..
