Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Life's mistakes: 1 of 21
I dried the whites with the darks. I wasn't even aware that such a thing could be bad for your whites, but I found outquick. A sigh echoes from our kitchen where our washer and dryer are. I look up from the bedroom where I'm rearranging the clothes."What's up?" I ask innocently."Babe you dried the whites with the darks" She r... More..
Style & Beauty > Body Image How people judge you by your appearance: 3 of 42
I'm wearing a screen printed t-shirt, black skinny jeans, all black shoes and a white newsboy cap. Though I only bought these clothes because they were simple and comfortable not only will I be judged by what brands I'm wearing but I will also be labeled and categorized and put away with all the others in my genre. I wish it ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Why we can't just have world peace: 3 of 40
World peace is a form of perfection. Humans as a whole and individually are far from perfection so it is easy to see why we as a race haven't made peace with each other despite all the reasons why we should. Though a certain kind of peace is obtainable we must measure what is holding us back from achieving it and then move fo... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Setting Life Goals Living a happy life: 7 of 49
My thoughts of late have strayed toward the subject of happiness. I'mreadily aware and identify that happiness is a state of being, a feeling, and an emotion that is interpreted differently by each and every person, differently, however I wonder sometimes if most people possess the capacity to identify and define their own ha...

Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Art that mocks faith: Freedom of speech or slander?: 9 of 61
A political cartoonist uses satire and exaggeration to depict their point of view. Whether it be defaming the new president or praising him, bad mouthing Republicans or slamming Democrats, bringing up faults in conservative thinking or pointing out flaws in liberal ideas. This is generally accepted by everyone, and almost nev... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Why taking action works better than waiting for the world to change: 2 of 9
The question has a dangerous balance. People tend to take action so as to change others. To get the world going most believe that we need to change humanity and we need to take action to change everyone else. I think this is incredibly mistaken; we need to take action to change ourselves. The world will not change by force or... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values We are products of our environment: 21 of 80
For years I have believed we are result of the circumstance and scenarios that surround us. If I get hurt, I react, I may lash out, and I may hurt someone back. If I win money I spend. If I'm loved I feel accepted. These are the common beliefs and feelings most of us hold onto, and that I had too. Think though, the next time ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Ethics Ethics for Atheists: 11 of 33
The problem with this is the assumption that ethics, and thereby morals, are attached to a faith system or a religious background. It also makes the assumption that atheists are in need of ethics, that they lack them altogether from the beginning. That is only true if you suppose that every human being also lacks intrinsic et...

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community Does playing video games lead to a lower IQ?: 7 of 18
I think that this question means to ask whether playing video games lowers your intelligence or keeps it static. IQ is an innate trait and measures the rate at which you learn, not the overall intelligence of a person. So, let's stop avoiding the real question and get to it- do video games make you stupid?Video games are a fo... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Forrest Gump (1994): 3 of 7
I was getting ready for bed. My girlfriend walks out of the living room where our movie stash is kept and hands me Forrest Gump to watch as we fall asleep. I think to myself, "Sure, why not, haven't seen this movie since I ten years old," so I walk over to the DVD player and slide it in. By the time I'm back in bed the openin... More..
