Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes What makes good music?: 2 of 54
Good music is hard to come by and even harder to define. What makes good music after all? Is it the catchy tune? Or is it the singing? Good music is made by talented musicians. Those musicians who write and compose their own songs, but not all of them; to me at least, talented musicians are the ones who when they are writing... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Europe Should the US place missile defenses in Europe despite Russia's opposition?: 3 of 37
The US should never make such a mistake. By placing missile defenses in Europe and having Russia against it, can't be a good decision. The real issue here is that neither of them want to give in, and this can lead to bigger problems, the top of them being a new cold war. Nobody knows what Russia has behind their walls, they ...

Computers & Technology > Internet Trends Has Facebook put an end to MySpace?: 2 of 10
The creation of Facebook was somewhat of a turning point in on-line communities. It seems more polished than MySpace and it has many features that make users spend much more time on-line with their account than they would with MySpace. The quizzes, games, and interaction between users make Facebook the community to be part o... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Band reviews: Iron Maiden: 3 of 12
When we talk about Iron Maiden we talk about a band that has been around for over 30 years, and to this very day keeps gathering new fans, no matter what country they go to. I first listened to Iron Maiden when I was about 9 years old, and already into heavy metal music, and thought, as I listened to the guitar riffs, the si... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Ghosts & Paranormal Phenomena The paranormal: Do you believe in it: 22 of 72
Yes, I do believe in the paranormal. Thankfully we live in a modern age, where we can admit that we do believe in something more. I'm not saying religious belief; I'm talking about something more than life. Most of us have seen TV shows in which someone goes into a building and says that there's someone there with them, and ...

Sciences > Psychology If and why we fear death: 28 of 83
The fear of death and dying has been a regular presence in the minds of man since the beginning of times. Back in prehistoric times, it was usual to have burial ceremonies to keep the dead at peace, and to make sure that they would pass on to a better life. This has been a constant to this very day. We still have ceremonies ... More..
Sciences > Psychology Does mental illness exist?: 4 of 11
Mental illness is a very broad designation for what may happen to a human being, as far as the brain is concerned. Many people may think that mental illness is just something made up by doctors or by the general public that is used to justify someone's odd behavior. In many situations that may well be the case, but the rest ... More..
Other Wisdom learned from nature: 13 of 35
Through the years mankind has learned from observing and studying nature and its changes. I do believe that we have much to learn from nature, even after all the developments made since the dawn of times. Nature is something that changes daily, and we can't overlook the changes that take place. Even the smallest creature has... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Where do fools go wrong?: 16 of 42
In today's world one would expect that fools and foolish behavior would be something that would be so preponderant in day to day life. Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. Everyone has acted foolishly at some point in their lives, the way that we have dealt with it is what makes us better human beings, or, in the... More..
Sciences > Psychology Are there differences in intelligence between races?: 22 of 52
This is a controversial question, as are most which involve race at any level. The main issue here is that there are several types of intelligence, and what we need to keep in mind is that everyone is different, and when it comes to intelligence it may be something that may need a closer look. What happens is that if everyon... More..
