Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Today's youth is lacking compassion: 36 of 51
Something wonderful happened since I wrote this article. A young lady emailed me personally to say in essence, "I beg your pardon, I am not insensitive and do have compassion for people." I was floored that a young person responded in the first place. So many don't care to and we never get to know their feelings. Her email ga... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Methods Should parents use corporal punishment to discipline children?: 37 of 52
All of us from the "old school" would say yes because it certainly made us "straighten up and fly right" without harming most of us in any way. Now some people do go overboard with it, especially when they do things like KILLING A CHILD for instance don't you think? It's a sad state of affairs everyday when you read about a c... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Do human rights exist in the US?: 18 of 25
Yes, somewhat! On a whole, democracy gives people more rights than any other form of government. You can see for yourself what's happening around the world today right on our TVs, radios, cell phones, and numerous other media devices Americans have available to them. In most communist and Muslim countries alone, human rights ... More..
Education > Education (Other) An overview of educational options for your children: 57 of 79
Speaking fairly, I don't think qualified education should even BE an option. Excellent schools with excellent education should be FOR ALL, whether people can afford it or not. That's why America is falling behind the world in education because to get a good one here, you have to PAY FOR IT!There are quite a few countries that... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Life lessons from the Bible: 13 of 18

The Bible is the word of God and teaches us how to live and be in God's favor so we can inherit the earth after Armageddon.Adam and Eve, who God made "perfect" until they ate the apple from the tree of the knowledge of "good and evil", became imperfect after consuming the apple and all their descendants were born imperfect. A... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Is racism taught or learned?: 63 of 80
Racism is learned because whether you teach it or not, a child picks up on what they see and hear you say. If you're a racist, the child will become a racist too, just like you, because he will "learn" it from you.You might have never said a racist thing at all to your child, yet he hears what you say about others by calling ...

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What methods does Satan use to tempt people?: 62 of 77

It seems that everyone believes in Satan and I guess that makes sense especially if we believe in God also.I originally felt that Satan was not an issue insofar as I was concerned because I never let him be an issue with me. I always felt that as long as I believed in God, nothing could hurt me. And I suspect that is true. Bu... More..
Sciences > Sciences (Other) New study: Sexy images can cause temporary blindness: 6 of 7
I can definitely say that is true. I almost lost my own eyesight after seeing Britney's Halloween costume. It was truly a sight for sore eyes! But I guess some men or boys got a hoot out of it.From a study they did in Tennessee, which I read on line, it seems that men lose it when a beautiful woman comes into view. Now that's... More..

My name is Barbara Alston and I was an entertainer in my day. I'm letting you know who I am because I want the world to know how I feel about this issue.I am totally appalled at how our country treats our disabled veterans and present military. If I could, I would upchuck right in the present cabinets faces for their lack of ... More..
