Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Are aging rock superstars like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones timeless or too old to perform on stage anymore?: 36 of 151
Whilst smooth skin and a high metabolism are things that leave us as we get older, our intuitive talents never do.

Sports & Recreation > Football (Other) Why L.A doesn't have pro football: 2 of 8
It would be reasonable to think that a city with over 3.5 million people, and a metropolitan area with a population of over 13 million, would surely be able to support one National Football League (NFL) franchise?

Fantasy basketball is no exception. First of all, the most import... More..
Sports & Recreation > College Basketball What age is too young for basketball recruiters to go after?: 1 of 4
In my opinion, up until high school, a child's education should be the be-all and end-all. Sports should be an after-thought, something that helps take a child's mind off their schoolwork and their troubles, but doesn't detract from them. When a child reaches high school age, 14 or 15 for most, with the way organized sports ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Can media exposes on government abuse lead to reform?: 3 of 11
I absolutely believe the media play a critical role in keeping government officials honest, and ensuring we have a governing system that is transparent, and dedicated to serving the people in a democracy. As the United States media proudly state, they are the "Third Estate", the people who watch and keep in line those that h... More..
