Religion & Spirituality > Spirituality (Other) How to tell if you're being spiritually abused: 4 of 13

I read through the first two paragraphs of the two articles on this subject, and, quite frankly, didn't find them as appalling as I did, well, ridiculous, and possibly the reason why 51% of the American people voted George W. Bush back into office in 2004. They're acutely ignorant, without study, and lacking imagination - at...
Entertainment > TV News & Commentary American Idol controversy: Vote for the worst .com: 4 of 11

Here's what I think about American Idol. I've never seen a single episode in its 375 year history. I'm sure it's a decent show for the Jerry Springer set, which seems, according the A.C. Nielson ratings, to comprise the gargantuan majority of AI's viewership. Americans seem to desire watching fisticuffs between women from ri...
Entertainment > Movie Genres Best movies ever: 33 of 52

Okay, I know that all creative things are subjective. There's no scientific formula that makes some movies better than others, although there could be some mild science in what makes one movie better than another. Whatever science is there is packed in like a sardine factory among the writing, timing, viewer whimsy, and, wel...
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Is TV's Dog the Bounty Hunter's Duane Chapman a racist?: 7 of 11

First of all, let me establish, clearly, that I'm an African-American man born in 1957. That's right, I became cognizant of true racism just as the enlightenment of the wrongfulness of it was being washed away like urine in a baby's diaper in a washing machine full of Tide detergent. I never saw racism at it's strongest, but...
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Is OJ Simpson guilty of theft?: 9 of 13

Is it just me, or is anybody else on earth tired of having OJ Simpson's medicine ball of a head taking up valuable space on my television screen? The man got away with murder in 1995 when he was found not guilty of the vicious murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman. But should we be surprised? In Los Angeles, ju...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Wanting to die and why: 11 of 13

As I lied awake in bed last night, I learned, unequivocally, that a well worn axiom was as far away from the truth as China is from not having a large enough population. Where there's a will, there isn't always a way. I tried as hard as hard as a wildebeest tries to escape a hungry lioness to will myself to a quick, painless...
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues The current issues surrounding gay marriage: 26 of 30

The true bottom line here, as it can be spoken and supported, is a religious one. Apparently, God said (and I'm paraphrasing here) The a union between two men, or two women, is a giant sin. Now, as far as I've been able to determine, the Bible spoke only of a unholy union between men. But, then again, it was only men who wer...
Health & Fitness > Mental Illness Understanding self injury: 6 of 6

First of all, I must say that I probably don't belong among the postings for self-injury. I am The Man Who Wants To Die, but my problem is that I can't seem to find a way to die that doesn't involve burning in Hell, immediate castinting back onto life on the planet earth without the chance to walk with God, or the pain of pl...
