Frits Perls once said: ""I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine." Well, I beg to disagree.

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our society is letting go of its morals: 1 of 98
My answer to this question is a resounding yes! What would you expect if the blind is leading the blind? I am by no means a prude, but it is undeniable that the line between what is moral and what is not gets thinner and thinner everyday. Acts that would have been considered abominable in the past are now tolerated as "norma... More..
Relationships & Family > Acquaintances & Co-Workers How to deal with rude people: 1 of 80
We meet rude people in different places and on a variety of circumstances. One of the mistakes most of us usually do when dealing with rude people is to fight fire with fire. As much as possible, show that rude person that you can stand up to him/her while keeping your own character intact. There's this old American proverb ... More..
Food & Drink > Fast Food What is worse: to eat at McDonald's or to work there?: 1 of 55
Working at McDonald's can earn you money; eating there can turn you fat. Deciding which is worse is practically a no-brainer. Having two cousins, three aunts and an uncle work at different branches of the fabled Golden Arches, each with varying levels of success in their positions, I can truly say that it's one of the more d...

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our next generation: Are things getting better or worse?: 4 of 201
There's an African proverb that sums it up: "For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." Our future is a fruit, ripe for the picking. It may bring us much-needed salvation or ultimately, our eventual extinction. Before we can even fathom what the future may bring, we have to look at one thing first: Ourselv... More..
Education > High School Math & Sciences Why some teens dislike math and science: 1 of 48
It is a known fact that as children grow into teenagers they gradually lose their natural curiosity and inquisitiveness. Their diminishing love for the unknown coupled with the much more harder high school curriculum, can then be attributed to their subsequent hatred for math and science. Although most of these teenagers hav... More..
Relationships & Family > Friendship Drama & Issues Friendship drama: How to handle backstabbers: 2 of 83
Everyone has their own share of two-faced friends and there will come a time when it will be inevitable to catch them in the act of stabbing you in the back. When you find out that someone's been backstabbing you, the knee-jerk reaction is usually that of taking revenge. This shouldn't be the case because there are many othe... More..

To tell you honestly, there's no real secret in becoming a "better" person. In reality, no matter how low we think of ourselves or how poorly our own society treats us, we are constantly improving day to day. Each individual in this world is significant and everyone has that shot to becoming better. Eventhough some would say... More..
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Best current television series: 3 of 103
"Blood Splatter or Bloody Comedy?" I have a problem. I can't seem to decide between "Dexter" and "30 Rock". The former is a drama about a vigilante serial killer who masquerades as a member of a forensics team at day, the latter is an outstanding comedy show about writers, actors, a network head and a woman undergoing a mid-...

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands What is your favorite band and why?: 7 of 219
"Sprinkiling The Pixie Dust" Many things have been said about the band Pixies, and I'm here to share my own two cents. I first learned of this band in the book "Journals" by Kurt Cobain.
