Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Is the death penalty just or unjust?: 1 of 46
The death penalty is not only just, but practical. Since the bleeding heart do-gooders have been getting their way, the crime rate in America has skyrocketed. The perception that human life is valuable has fallen by the wayside as pro choice activists brainwash the youth of America into thinking that Abortion is a women's iss... More..
Society & Lifestyle > North American Culture Why people love America: 1 of 31
Despite the drama, corruption, and increase in criminal activity that seems to be unfolding before us on the news each and every day, America is still by and large the best place in the world to be. We're extremely generous, even when we don't have a lot to spare. We always stick up for the "under dogs" of the world and have ... More..
Education > College Life Should race be considered for college admissions?: 2 of 54
There was a time when "minorities" were discriminated against based on their colour, sex, religion, or anything else the majority didn't like about them. There was a time when they had separate schools for black and white people. By and large, that time has passed. At this stage in history, discrimination is largely a thing o... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should public schools offer courses in the Bible?: 11 of 87
For years, I have been listening to both sides of the religion in school issue and I am inclined to believe that religion in some form or another should be brought back into schools. I realize that atheists worldwide disagree with me but unfortunately most of them are as closed minded and stubborn as the religious zealots. If... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Resolving the child support system in America: 8 of 46
The Double Standard For FathersAs a woman, I get a lot of flack for my view on fatherhood and abortion issues. As a woman, I'm expected to go along with the heard philosophy of "it's a woman's body so it's her choice alone." No, sorry. I can't go along with that one.Women DO have a choice. They have a choice whether or not to... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Economy Will the $700 billion bailout prevent a recession?: 2 of 9
I've been following along with this second economic "crisis" brought on by the car industry. It's more about politics then it is about economics. The current system is severely flawed and as a result the car industry is on the verge of collapse. Until now, the Unions have been allowed to run unchecked and they have just about... More..
Relationships & Family > Married Life The sacrifice made by spouses of deployed soldiers: 1 of 4
I come from a family that is riddled with men who were in all five branches of the service in every war from the Mexican Border Campaign to Vietnam. I've seen first hand the effects that military service has not only on the men who served, but the women they left behind or connected with after returning home. These women have... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Testimonies: What it means to be a Christian wife: 5 of 19
I recently read "Submission is Not a Foul Word" written by Candace Cameron Bure written for her monthly column "Candid Candace" for "Christian Women Online". She is a talented writer who defends her beliefs well and answers the reader's question gently and directly. She backs up her answer with passages from the bible yet I d... More..
Arts & Humanities > Ethics Is honesty really the best policy?: 31 of 76
Being honest isn't just telling the truth. It's all about your actions too. At my last job, I often found myself faced with situations where I had to decide whether or not to be honest. I did customer service, scheduling, and was a driver liaison. There were many times when drivers were only a half hour or forty five minute... More..
Arts & Humanities > American Literature Book reviews: The Mermaid Chair, by Sue Monk Kidd: 2 of 4
I stumbled across Sue Monk Kidds "The Mermaid Chair" quite accidentally. I was taking an English class at the local community college and had been assigned to read "The Secret Life of Bees" (also by Sue Monk Kidd) and had headed to the library to begin writing an essay about it. Over in the new releases, I spotted a book that... More..
