Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Congress's approval rating is worse than President Bush's: 1 of 17

Agreed! There are many factors to this low approval rating. Both ratings are based on performance. Though many disagree with President Bush on his war policies, which is a big factor. Many think that congress has done even worse by not doing anything at all. Let me explain further, our current congress is majority ruled by t...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Should members of Congress be allowed to add earmarks to appropriations bills?: 1 of 11

No! Congress complains about CEO's and other companies that have been mismanaged and are now asking our government for help. Yet, they themselves can not balance a budget; they can not stop giving money to things that do not matter. They travel at our expense, they vote themselves a pay raise at our expense, and they are spe...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Who would make a better US president?: 3 of 17

I am a registered Independent. I am independent, yet conservative in my views and ideas. I believe that "We the People" of this United States have a lot on the line this election. I often refer to the profound words of a great president John F Kennedy, when making decisions regarding who will be our next president. Those wor...
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Smoker's rights: 4 of 22

Smoker's rights? We have rights? Now this is a laughable question. This day in age, smoker's have been ridiculed, beaten, assaulted, spit on, denied health care, denied employment, had their children taken away, demoralized, and treated as though we are lower than a lice infested, crack smoking indigents. This all seems horr...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I hate working in a call center: 7 of 34

Call Centers, ugh, they are a necessary evil, however I have stories to tell you about call centers. I have worked for call centers on and off for the last 20 years. The horrors are all true. Not being allowed to go to the bathroom, no breaks, except for the 30 minute lunch where you wolf down your food, then right back at i...
Society & Lifestyle > Mythology & Folklore Do fantasy creatures really exist?: 8 of 29

Fantasy creatures really do exist, especially in the hearts and minds of young children and the young at heart. Frolicking unicorns, fierce fire breathing dragons, and little lucky leprechauns with their elusive pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. In the fantasy realm and imagination of every small child they most certa...
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Is there a unique American mission in the world today?: 3 of 10

We already have a unique American mission. It is called living free. Free from government control, government intervention, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, capitalism, freedom to choose our own paths in life, freedom to be what ever God intended us to be. Freedom to be "unique" from the rest of the world! So what if ...
Health & Fitness > Arthritis Dealing with arthritis: 5 of 15

Rheumatoid Arthritis is incredibly difficult to deal with. It is a horribly debilitating disease. It not only ravages your body but also your mind. The likes of which I never knew existed. How many of you think that arthritis is just what old people complain about when the weather changes? How many of you think that it is ju...
Politics, News & Issues > Homeland Security Should the federal government play a proactive role in protecting Americans' health and safety?: 1 of 3

Absolutely NO! Are we not intelligent grown adult human beings? Most of those elected to government can not control or better their own lives, why do you expect them to be able to help yours? This topes grates me to the core. We have bans and laws that are supposed to "protect" us and help us to live longer. Yet most of thes...
Jobs & Careers > Stress & Time Management Should US workers be guaranteed more vacation time?: 5 of 14

A huge resounding no! I am truly disgusted and horrified by the questions and assumptions for the "new American way". On the "yes" side of this question, I have seen people use other countries as examples of how this country should be. This is quite disturbing to me. When did the United States of America become a follower? I...
