Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: War trauma: 32 of 40
I did live an ordered life, now I live to be ordered. I didn't used to fight, now I fight to live. What happened to me? Driven from peace to war. This was never my battle, yet here I stand ready. Growing weary now of conflict, many battles in someone else's name. Death and I are good friends, or we will be very soon. Maybe w... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community The use of video games as a learning tool: 8 of 10
For any fan of gaming, playing games are first and foremost a great source of entertainment; to try and say they are anything more than that is a difficult proposition. Finding educational value in most games is impossible; the nature of the best-selling games don't require an IQ test to play, very little preparation is need... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Top 10 hardest video games of all time: 4 of 5
Gone are the days when completing a game was the stuff of myth and legend. Every game that gets released now seems to be crafted as a stop-gap - until the next big thing arrives the following month.

Hobbies & Games > Video Games (Other) Examing if video games are harder now than in the past: 4 of 5
Around 20 years ago, if you knew someone that claimed to have completed a video game they were most probably lying to you or you just couldn't appreciate that a real-life gaming God stood before you! It's difficult to think of any game that gave the player any sense that they would see the ending to the game. The most common... More..
Arts & Humanities > Political Philosophy Capitalism vs. Socialism: Which do you prefer?: 10 of 12
With the new buzz words "Global financial crisis" and "Credit crunch" being over-used by the news media around the world - can the belief in Capitalism be a considered a respectable concept - surely it shows that the idea that greed as an accepted way of life is severely misjudged by all that choose to join in. Greed is the ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Questions for God: 55 of 62
When times are hard, it's to you they look. To give them guidance, they read their good book. With doubt before them, they do despair. But you sit there, without a care. Where are answers, when you do not exist. Your devoted followers, how they still persist. You don't hear them, you never will. Blind devotion, prepared to k... More..
Society & Lifestyle > European Culture Youth violence in the UK: Where have the good days gone?: 3 of 3
A child born in the 70s was usually respectful of its elders and society in general - the worst you could expect was a "trouble-maker" that would be brave enough to mouth-off at a neighbour when challenged about some wrong-doing - but times have changed for the worse. Children have lost all innocence: to the point that viole... More..
Entertainment > Movie Analysis Best movie fight scenes: 2 of 2
Movies can be derivative at the best of times - action movies tend to be filled with obligatory heroics feats, incredible over-the-top stunts and near-death experiences. The good-versus-evil concept is typically contrived into a one-on-one battle as the film's grand finale. Most scenes are consigned to the also-ran time-fill... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Football Is Jamarcus Russell worth a contract hold out, and will he ever play in the NFL?: 2 of 2
For JaMarcus Russell, being able to play football and make a potential career from it wasn't enough, to be drafted by the Oakland Raiders No.1 overall (in April 2007) wasn't enough, on advice from his agents he became a rookie holdout without ever practicing with the team. The insanity of the situation eventually came to an ... More..
Personal Finance > Managing Debt The best debt management services in the U.K.: 2 of 2
People might think that getting into serious debt trouble is a one-way ticket to bankruptcy but it doesn't always have to be the case. Seeking help through a legitimate organisation such as the CCCS (the Consumer Credit Counselling service) is the first step in dealing with any debt problems. The CCCS was set up in the USA d...
