Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our next generation: Are things getting better or worse?: 36 of 116

With all the avenues of communication that are available to today's youth it is obvious to me that my children are in for the battle of a life time. I even feel the generation gap between my parents and myself with every conversation. It is possible that our society has run out of ideas and it peaked in the 1990's. My parent...
Relationships & Family > Divorce Psychology Why so many marriages end in divorce: 23 of 62

Ever since the invention of the television the concept of marriage has slowly morphed into what is now considered more of a trial and error process. Marriage seems to be as casual as trying on different pairs of shoes. A spouse becomes a little worn, broken in, but not as pretty and special as they were at first. Now there i...

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 121 of 215

Women should not have the right to choose abortion because irresponsibility is just generally unacceptable. This is in reference to abortions being performed out of pure selfishness - not in cases of rape or incest or if the mother's life is in danger.

We are at war and now people who have no idea what it's all about are wanting to pull our troops out and end this war. Don't you think that's what President Bush wa...
Style & Beauty > Vintage & Bargain Clothing Tips for maximizing your style on a budget: 31 of 45

Prioritizing and budgetting have always sounded like "old folk" talk until had my kids. When you hear people say, "After I had kids I was lucky to get a shower everyday!" They aren't kidding. Before you know it you have more earmarks for your money than you know what to do with and your expendable income is nowhere to be fou...

OK, so racism is completely over rated lately. Whatever happened to that saying, "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." I grew up in Alaska. My friends, neighbors, church congregation were mostly made up of military families, Slope workers (oil field), and a few natives here and there. I moved to Ch...
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Guest worker program: The solution to the immigration issue?: 12 of 15

The term "Guest worker" just sounds mean. Like we're saying, "Hey, don't get too comfortable." Or, "Don't overstay your welcome here." Seriously, the American dream has pretty much lost it's meaning to Americans, but to illegal immigrants it is the I CHING of dreams. I was born to two baby boomers who got to experience ...

This article is written by an Adult Attention Deficit Hyper-activity Disorder sufferer. The way that this debate question was stated I didn't really know how to answer it. Is ADD 'Annoying'?

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What is wrong with guys: 15 of 18

The problem with men down here is their constant underestimation of a woman's strength. Not to mention the fact that it is becoming genetic. OK, by "Down here" I meant the lower 48 or perhaps just the south because that's where I live. See, I grew up in Alaska for the first part of my life and witnessed the mixture of adorat...
