Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Do immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want?: 2 of 109
There's a well told myth that illegal immigrants "do the jobs Americans don't want". And a look at the jobs filled by illegal immigrants puts this notion to rest very quickly. The meat packing industry, construction, landscaping, roofing, hotel housekeeping...all of these are jobs that in many parts of the country are predomi... More..
Business > Leadership Strategies As a manager, is it important for your employees to like you?: 3 of 73
Over the last several years, we have seen employers and supervisors try to run their business by being popular. Being popular is great if you need someone to go out to the movies with you on Friday night. But in the professional world, it should never be the focus of a manager.Now this doesn't mean you have license to be a je... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) A Christian viewpoint of the oppression of poor people: 1 of 22
One of the most misused passages of the Bible is when Jesus says "There will be poor always". Many churches and pastors teach that this means that caring for the poor is not our concern. A close read of the rest of the Bible would show this is not the case.But neither is our moral responsibility to the poor as Christians one ... More..

Home & Garden > Architecture Modern homes have grown too large: Agree or disagree: 4 of 38
In the early 1900's, it was not uncommon to see entire families (with 6, 7, or more children) together in a house smaller than 500 square feet. While few can argue that the progress towards larger homes has, for the most part been a good thing, it seems clear that the homes we now live in have grown to the level of being exce... More..
Education > Homeschooling Is homeschooling better than formal education?: 12 of 103
First of all, let's be clear. Homeschooling and formal education do not have to be mutually exclusive. I know of many students raised on Alpha Omega and Bob Jones textbooks that have received an education that is every bit as "formal" as what public schools offer.With that in mind, I would have to say that yes, a quality home...

Yet we take fo... More..
