Parenting & Pregnancy > Feeding & Breastfeeding Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public areas?: 1 of 4
I saw a story on the news today that caught my attention, not only because I am a woman, but also because I am about to become a mother.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Scars: 7 of 27
Every scar holds a story. Some are good, and some are painful. Some you learn from, and others you don't. Scars heal, and eventually fade on the outside. One the inside, though, the story remains forever. I have a scar on my right shin. A vertical scar about a 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 long. I got it when I was 6. We were all ... More..

Relationships & Family > Tips for Marital Happiness Should couples live together before getting married?: 100 of 275
While both sides of this debate hold very good arguments, it is my personal belief that people should live together before getting married. Having been raised in a Christian home, I understand the religious view point on the subject, but there are ways to avoid "living in sin". While it's great to think about your knight in s... More..
Relationships & Family > Tips for Marital Happiness Tips for a long lasting marriage: 71 of 138
The key to ANY relationship is communication and honesty. In my experience, a relationship that fails is a relationship with secrets and silence. My husband and I have been married for a year and a half. I know that doesn't seem like much, but if you knew what we'd been through, I think you might be amazed. We dated for almos... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Homeland Security Was the US government involved in orchestrating 9/11 for ulterior motives?: 16 of 30
This is an absolute ridiculous question, and as an American, it's embarrassing to me that there are people in our nation who actually believe this. While it's true that our government doesn't make a lot of sense, it is absolutely heinous to believe that they are capable of organizing such a monstrosity. It was a devastating ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration When George W. Bush leaves the presidency: What will he do?: 18 of 33
When George W. Bush leaves the presidency, I think he should take a nice long vacation to Iraq. I think he should take a 15 month deployment to the most dangerous FOB, that way he can experience for himself what he has been putting our troops through for the past 4 1/2 years. When he comes home, I think it should only be for... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 271 of 428
This is not a difficult question to answer, because it does not ask if you believe abortion is right or not. Under mitigating circumstances, I think it is acceptable, and I also believe that it should ALWAYS be up to the woman to make that choice. If you have never been in a situation where abortion would be an option, I don... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Marriage should be a sacred institution between only a woman and a man: 201 of 317
I am a firm believer in doing what makes you happy. That includes being with the one you love. Who are we to tell someone who they can and can't spend their lives with? In case you forgot, discrimination is illegal. So why are we allowing the government to dictate our love lives? I agree that marriage is a sacred union. I agr... More..
