Food & Drink > Cooking (Other) Great things to try on the barbecue grill: 1 of 3
Many people never grow tired of the standard cook-out fare: Hot dogs, hamburgers, occasionally sausages. After all, what you eat is not so important; a cook-out is essentially about hanging out with friends during nice weather. It's an informal, outside dinner party. Because these traditional foods are so popular, some peopl... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should all school pupils be made to learn at least one foreign language?: 15 of 43
In many foreign countries, particularly those in Europe, students are taught secondary languages from early on in their education. America is behind the times on this. Many european children grow up to be proficient in several languages, which is quite useful to them as so many languages are used within a relatively small ge... More..
Food & Drink > Fast Food Should I be eating that fast food?: 9 of 25
In Hindsight: An Updated, Realistic View of McDonald's from a Former Critic In Rome six years ago, I realized that one can basically find all the major tourist attractions by following the McDonald's signs. Earlier on, at sixteen, I had visited Dublin and had my first real "Down with McDonald's" moment. Perhaps it was a typi... More..
Pets & Animals > Birds Bird facts: Mallard duck: 4 of 11
Upon moving to my new town five years ago, I was excited to learn I had some very cute and comical neighbors. A gaggle of ducks live quite contently beside the small river down the street, more aptly described as a brook. They had established their hang-out spot within a few hundred feet of a five-foot, man-made waterfall of... More..
Personal Finance > Budgets & Saving Ways to increase your savings: 11 of 30
When you're living on a strict budget, your hope is to pay for the essentials and have some left over in the bank by the time the next paycheck comes in. This is a situation many of us are all too familiar with. We may be coasting along just fine...until the car breaks down, the dog needs an operation, or we need to travel t... More..
Arts & Humanities > Ethics The essence of personal freedom: 7 of 19
What sort of freedoms do we have in America? Which freedoms do we expect? Which freedoms are realistic to expect? What is good for society, and who should set the standards? If you take the view that the freedom of the individual is the most important priority of a civilized society, where do you draw the line between indivi... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Unspoken thoughts: 200 of 526
I am reliving the iron age of my life The burning youth the eery familiar nature of that which does not fit Is all fighting its way through the rust and remnants the currents of life will erode us like this To wonder about the past is to wish, and is based on the unfounded theory that things Could Have Been Different. We do ... More..
Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues The role of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals): 4 of 10
I am tired of PETA being used as the brand name for the animal welfare movement. Every time the subject of my animal welfare activism comes up in conversation, people I don't know inevitably roll their eyes and drone: "You're not a member of PETA, are you?" (Dub the most sarcastic sound you've ever heard over the word "PETA"... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Environmental Awareness Assessing the role of individuals, states, and interest groups in affecting the economy and environment: 2 of 5
Back in December of 2007, I came across a news article. Norway was announcing it was going to invest millions of dollars in the effort to preserve rainforests. Try as I might I couldn't quite figure out exactly what their plan was, and I wondered if this was just another politically-correct public relations campaign by anoth... More..
Health & Fitness > Anxiety & Panic Disorders Can medicines help people with a panic disorder?: 2 of 5
I have no doubt that certain medications can help people who've suffered with panic disorder, or any type of chronic anxiety, for that matter. With that being said, perhaps the key word here is "help", not necessarily cure. For one thing, medications that treat severe anxiety and bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses o... More..
