I'm a golfer, which makes me a little crazy but that's ok I'm a bad golfer.

I won't go on and on in here, read my articles and you will know

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Can information contained in the Bible be placed in the realm of absolute truth, or does it simply present us with fables and myths?Smallicon
1 of 25

No book can be considered absolute truth. Why? They are written by a person who has interpreted the information and used a language that is open to interpretation itself. You have probably experienced it yourself: two people can look at the same thing and give two very different explanations. Two people can read the same thin... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Does society favor men?Smallicon
3 of 74

History shows a clear picture of a society built by men that favoured men. Of course this doesn't mean that women didn't have any power, some of the most powerful people in history have been women. They may not have stood at the front on every occasion but we know who had the power. How many decisions throughout history have ... More..

Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) Does technology impoverish the mind?Smallicon
8 of 53

Interesting premise this one, on the same train of thought did language or writing impoverish our mind? I think not, it's what gave us the ability to expand at a far greater rate than we had previously. Our ability to learn increased dramatically, our ability to share information increased dramatically and so our intellectual... More..

Jobs & Careers > Getting Ahead How to shine like a star on the center stage of the interview
18 of 33

Be Yourself. That's the only advice you really need to perform well in an interview. It's not hard to be yourself, it's not stressful, believe in who you are and be the best you there is. The truth is that if you are pretending to be something you are not you will be found out sooner or later. If you believe in who you are th... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Can God and Darwinism coexist?Smallicon
62 of 113

I don't see how you could argue for the negative in this debate it's not really even a debate. Evolution has happened in the last few thousand years so they simply must exist together. Even if you believed that God created the universe and us, you must realise that we have evolved since that point and God may be with us alway... More..

Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Should a husband tell his wife about his romantic past?Smallicon
11 of 19

The truth for me is that everything in my romantic past pales into insignificance now I'm with the right person. It took 33 years and many mistakes but looking back it's easy to see everything clearly. It's not hard for me to talk about my past romantic life because it no longer holds any feelings for me, it was a step on the... More..

Relationships & Family > Parents Are parents responsible for how their children act as adults?Smallicon
18 of 30

This is about the most loaded question I have seen on Helium. I have voted Yes, only because parents must take some responsibility for their children's behaviour though life, not all but some. It's the question of Nature vs Nurture, for those who don't know it's an age old debate about which personality traits and behaviours ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Do you believe that humanity was created by extraterrestrials?Smallicon
16 of 23

I could turn this into a debate on the exact meaning of certain words.Extraterrestrial; Not of this planet. God; Omnipotent Being, Not Human. Like it or not folks if we use a strict definition of these words, the God that the bible talks about can only be extraterrestrial.Some may choose to interpret the meaning of these word... More..

Relationships & Family > Communication Issues Is conversation becoming a lost art?Smallicon
20 of 27

How can there be any doubt? Text on a phone is not conversation, I don't think we should even define it. You don't need a survey to tell you that kids talk more these days on texts and MSN then they do in person. This can not be a good trend. Conversation must be face to face as language involves more than simple words. True ... More..

Jobs & Careers > Getting Ahead Ways to increase your salary
21 of 25

There are many traditional options you have to get paid more. You can get more education, another qualification, more hours, sleep with the boss. Whilst these may all work (some better than others) they rarely get you the pay rise that you think you are worth. We have all been in a situation where someone has moved past us on... More..
