I like the idea of working in a bakery, but I like the idea of working for myself even better, so I'm in college for Japanese to become a translator and I'm working on my book-writing skills. I come to Helium every now and again to try to make money and realize

Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Is it morally wrong to use mice or dogs in medical research?: 5 of 27

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 wron...
Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology How some guys manage to attract girls without saying a word: 3 of 12

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 b...
Food & Drink > Seafood Recipes Recipes: Sushi: 1 of 4

This is for "makizushi", which is the kind of sushi that comes in a little roll. Since there are so many variations to making sushi, including many atypical ingredients you might pick yourself like: bean sprouts or nuts or ketchup or maybe a piece of popcorn, this recipe is a guide to everything but how to make the specific ...
Health & Fitness > Healthy Living & Wellness Benefits of de-toxing for fitness and health: 1 of 3

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 s...
Politics, News & Issues > Family Law There should be restrictions on the availability of abortion, except when the mother's life is at stake: 13 of 30

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 peop...

Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Kamichu: 1 of 1

A show with a plot like Kamichu's has potential to be extremely interesting and fun, with loads of unexpected events. At least, that's what I was hoping for when I bought it after reading the back cover. The first episode begins with Yurie telling her friends she found out last night that she was a god. This seems completely...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Cat behavior: 97 of 121

When my boyfriend and I found our cat Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, he was running around a playground, trying to attack a toddler's legs. He's a skinny little tabby and possibly the smartest cat I've ever known. He's calmed a little, but when he was younger, he delighted in chasing after me as I walked around the house, getting between...
Health & Fitness > Nutrition Basics The best fruits for your health: 5 of 6

The majority of fruits are in the family Rosaceae, which contains roses, strawberries, and almonds; however, the goji berry belongs to Solanaceae, which also contains deadly nightshade, tobacco, and chili peppers. The Chinese have used it for its medicinal properties for over 6,000 years (probably much, much longer than that...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I'm a console gamer: 15 of 17

An old Nintendo still sits in my grandma's basement, full of memories and dust. There's something about a gaming console that has so much character; the N64 and Wii offer colorful, adorable characters and rich worlds, while the PS2 & 3 promise complex RPGs and more realistic appearances. Each console is so iconic, and that's...
