Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Does the US media portray immigrants only as people of color?: 1 of 6
There is more of an emphasis placed on people of color than there are Caucasian immigrants definitely. Xenophobia is playing a part in the immigration debate but it is taking form in interesting ways. Our ideas of immigration are conflicted between those that come to study in America and eventually learn to master English an... More..
Sciences > Psychology Are there differences in intelligence between races?: 9 of 52
Not at all, in fact different races have had to learn to express their intelligence in different ways to survive, but that does not necessarily imply that races differ on intelligence themselves.

Style & Beauty > Clothing Sizes & Fit Should plus-size clothing be modeled by plus-size models?: 17 of 97
Why would a plus-size woman want to see plus-size clothing modeled by skinnier models? I find it insulting that they even use mid-size and smaller models to model plus-size clothing; a full figured woman wants an accurate representation of what she is going to look like in that clothing. Anything else would suggest that the ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Who won the second presidential debate, McCain or Obama?: 2 of 11
The sad thing in all of this is that McCain really means well. I think on some level he truly believes what he is saying but yet again, McCain digresses to making subtle attacks on Obama. "That One", that one over there, calling him "The One" and everything like Obama is some type of savior. I do not understand the desperati... More..

Relationships & Family > Children & Divorce Divorce: Maintaining a healthy relationship for your children: 3 of 16
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... More..
Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles How to be vulnerable: 12 of 63
Vulnerability is a very difficult thing for a man. For some it even goes as far as to question their masculinity. The men I grew up around seemed to come across as having had a hyper-masculinity at times; not always appearing to be masculine but digressing to expressing their masculinity in violent ways given the situation. ...

Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Is not having sex with your spouse a crime: 6 of 31
From the looks of the responses on this topic it is obvious that men either do not know a whole lot about it or aren't the ones that feel that they aren't getting enough in their marriage. This says a lot about how the frequency of sex changes in the relationship going into marriage, particularly if you two had sex frequentl... More..
Relationships & Family > Cheating & Trust Issues Relationships and deception: What counts as cheating?: 13 of 67
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 ...

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Honesty is the best policy: 26 of 133
You've heard the old adage about the hard work that it takes keeping up lies and covering up lies, and the fact that you have to actually convince yourself of those lies and believe those lies; it is so much easier to be honest and take the consequences of your actions like the man or woman that you want to be perceived as. ...
