The question that stems from the one above is, "Wrong according to whose morals?" Morality is a gray concept. The only time you find any rules for them is in religion. This is why religious people always have an opinion on morally complex issues. But outside of religion, how can we answer a question like, "Is it morally wrong... More..
Relationships & Family > Dealing with Problem People How to address annoying habits in loved ones: 5 of 35
Firstly, ADDRESS it! Don't get more and more annoyed, not saying anything, being a little mean after they've done it, and finally exploding. How could your loved one possibly know how you feel? Even if you've told them before, they may have forgotten. They might not even realize they're doing it. Here are some ways to avoid i... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Family Law There should be restrictions on the availability of abortion, except when the mother's life is at stake: 10 of 59
In the debate over abortion, I think the nays have it whether or not they're right. Why? Because this is a discussion over civil rights. It's the pregnant woman (often: teen)'s choice, not the choice of a bunch of people debating over the flickerings of life when there are wars going on all over the world. Do these same peopl...

Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology How some guys manage to attract girls without saying a word: 5 of 23
Words are overrated. As that famous saying by Mark Twain or whoever goes, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." As a matter of fact, most younger women are interested in guys who seem utterly uninterested in them. Going up to a girl with a dumb punch line might be... More..
Health & Fitness > Healthy Living & Wellness Benefits of de-toxing for fitness and health: 1 of 4
De-toxing means removing unwanted chemicals from your body. It's not hard to believe that between the pesticides used on plants, the chemicals and growth hormones involved in the factory farm raising of animals, and the things allowed in and added to water (that includes bottled water, which has less strict regulations for sa...

This is for "makizushi", which is the kind of sushi that comes in a little roll.

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community MMORPGs: What your character's name says about you: 4 of 9
For many, MMOs are an alternate life where a person can act as they choose. It becomes a place where they can forget about their external problems and take solace in a fantasy world. These people choose names befitting their game of choice; for example, a name that is reminiscent of tales like Beowulf or The Once and Future K... More..
Entertainment > Movie Analysis Does Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End deliver where Dead Man's Chest didn't?: 14 of 31
My main problem with Dead Man's Chest was that it was a lot of glam with practically no substance. I still enjoyed it, mind you, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I like funny, action-packed entertainment...after all, 1/3 of the new King Kong was nothing but wordless entertainment, and it was a great movie.Well, did At World's End go... More..
