Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Congress's approval rating is worse than President Bush's: 1 of 19
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... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Should members of Congress be allowed to add earmarks to appropriations bills?: 1 of 17
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... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Smoker's rights: 5 of 45
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... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Mythology & Folklore Do fantasy creatures really exist?: 4 of 34
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... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Who would make a better US president?: 4 of 21
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... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I hate working in a call center: 7 of 36
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... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Catholicism Converting to Roman Catholicism: 1 of 5
When I was growing up, religion was not a big deal in my household. I would attend church with the family next door and they attended a very strict Baptist church. Women and girls had to wear dresses and the men suits and ties. I was very young and very uncomfortable. I was told not to ask questions, not to play with a deck ... More..
Personal Finance > Retirement Should Social Security disability benefits be given to more or fewer people?: 1 of 4
This is difficult because I have applied for disability. In some cases I say more and in other cases I say less. The problem is that there are people who have learned well how to defraud the system and thus has made it extremely difficult for those of us who truly are deserving of it. So this is a difficult one to answer. &l... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Economic News The housing bubble and credit crisis not caused by "the poor": 15 of 57
The housing bubble was NOT caused by the poor. Since home ownership is considered part of the American Dream, I think one must first think about what the word "dream" means. It means that a person works hard, saves their money, and some day is able to own their own home. Sometimes in life, dreams do not come true. Life in an... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Does God exist?: 30 of 107
Yes! Most certainly He does exist! All of this really comes down to the simplicity of good and evil. I was just rating a few articles and the two stated that there was no God. I shook my head in sadness and clicked on the write now button. The intention of this article is not to convince anyone out there to believe or not be... More..
