Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Society has its priorities confused: 3 of 70
I should think that most societies get their priorities confused at some point. I see parallels between our society and others of the past.

Sciences > Astronomy Was the Apollo moon landing real or a hoax?: 1 of 17
As an American, I would like to believe that we walked on the moon; after all, it's part of our culture.

And the belief was that whoever won the space race would... More..

I've met Muhannad three times now. Since seeing him today at my local bookstore, I've wondered if our meetings were Fate, for all three meetings were accidents. He is an exchange student from Palestine.It's easy for us to be friendly, for some reason. Maybe we just "click," as they say. He is the only Arab that I know.Though ... More..

My dog does not know of or care for the game; she is lost in her toy. But it takes me back to my days as a kid, when I would wish that I could do such things. A part of ... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Intimacy The need for emotional intimacy between spouses: 1 of 11
Emotional intimacy, to me, is a rather all-purpose term that is made up of smaller components. One must always remember that, in marriage, you're dealing with another person's thoughts and feelings every day and every night.Thoughts and feelings are breakable. It may take more with some than it would with others, but everyone... More..
