Relationships & Family > Dating Dilemmas & Advice Relationships and deception: What counts as cheating?: 1 of 54

On the surface infidelity is as simple as being engaged in any behavior that you do not want your partner to know about. In reality the ease of the opportunity that is presented, and the fact that one thinks that they can temporarily address needs and wants in the relationship that are not being fulfilled at that particular ...
Computers & Technology > Internet Issues Is online video/Internet TV here to stay?: 1 of 51

I've heard the argument that while there are arguably as many if not more content created online than through regular television programming that there hasn't been a real stand out show or breakthrough hit. Many people like to point to the success of "Lonelygirl15" as a compelling example of what happens when independent pro...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Living in the city: 1 of 22

I tried living in the country for a while and I have to admit; I take my hats off to those that can do it year in and year out because it isn't for everyone. I had always been to the country, special trips for school, holidays and vacationing with family, but had never really considered living there. What is so great about l...
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders If I were president of the US ...: 4 of 62

How awesome would that be; I'd change a lot of things to make it easier for the working class. I'd implement more stringent controls on housing prices so that the poor aren't paying 80% of their check towards rent or living in undesirable housing projects. I'd create some form of Universal Health Care, so people wouldn't put...
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends The cruel nature of reality TV and how it affects viewers: 1 of 12

I was a huge fan of reality television. I am not ashamed to admit it in 2000 when skeptics were saying that reality television was the death of modern television as we know it I stood by it. When pundits suggested 2 years later that reality television was on death's door, and the genre was facing a long road ahead, I continu...
Relationships & Family > Children & Divorce Divorce: Maintaining a healthy relationship for your children: 1 of 12

Perhaps that most overlooked aspect of divorce is the disillusionment and disbelief that occurs in the lives of the children of the former couple. Adults are affected as well, but saw all of the warning signs that the relationship shows in its dissolution. Children, on the other hand, lack neither the foresight nor the intui...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What I would do if I had no responsibilities for a year: 3 of 33

Not having responsibilities for a year would be so awesome. There are so many things that I want to do that I can only do so much of because of my responsibilities. I wouldn't lounge around though; I would work harder than ever, but at what I really wanted to work at. I could write like 30 articles a day on Helium and other ...
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Intimacy A marriage without sex: 1 of 11

When you first get married you never think about the possibilities of being in a sexless marriage. Particularly if you two never lived together. When you have been with your partner for about 2 years or more chances are you are still at a point where you two hook up often, if not for just those times that you see each other....
Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Will the actions of Lindsay Lohan or other out-of-control celebrities prove fatal to themselves?: 1 of 11

Celebrities aren't really that out of control. Most are doing stuff that most of us do anyway; the fact that they are in the position of being a celebrity and the closeness and obsession that we have with celebrity, which has reached new heights, is a big part of why we feel that they are out of control in the first place. W...
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Should people have sex before marriage?: 4 of 42

No, people should not have sex before marriage. Of course the people who typically say that are people that did and are looking back on their relationships and their lives and thinking that perhaps it could have been better if they did not, the other people who are saying that you should not engage in premarital intercourse ...
