Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Assessing the death penalty: 3 of 139
The State of Ohio recently executed Dan Wilson, an inmate convicted of putting a woman into a trunk of a car and setting it on fire. No sane person would say that he did not deserve to be punished for life for such a horrendous crime. Execution is murder. The State that allows executions, is no less guilty than the killer the...

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?: 7 of 254
The Bible should no longer be used for swearing ceremonies, or to have witnesses testify in court. As much as this country bickers over the separation of Religion and State, it seems ironic that we still continue to have swearing in ceremonies at all. With corruption being as it is in politics, it seems sacrilegious to contin... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Are people born evil: 2 of 72
Are people born evil? We all want to believe that this could not be true. Every new born baby is precious and innocent. Not many people can resist a baby. They seem so pure in every way. It is only when they begin to show their individual personalities that we can see a bad streak in some children. They tend to bully other ... More..

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Why I write: 8 of 254
I wish I knew why I write. I have LD. (Learning disabilities.) I struggle desperately to spell words correctly, and I am limited with the ability to understand grammar. I get so frustrated when I can't find a word in the dictionary. I have to look up several words each time I write a poem, or essay. A lot of the time I am no... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Should a felony conviction automatically prevent someone from obtaining employment?: 1 of 29
How inhumane, selfish and stupid to prevent someone a job after doing their time, to pay for the crime they were accused of. If those who has done their time in jail or prison cannot get a job once they are released, we may as well build concentration camps to hold them all.

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Giving up your seat on the bus to someone who needs it more: 1 of 24
This act of kindness tells a lot about a person. Having ridden the city bus for years, I have witnessed some shocking and selfish people. Not only is it polite to give up a front seat on the bus to those who are handicapped, elderly or need it more, it is equally an act of courtesy, and kindness. It is also kind when a perso... More..
