Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Predictions: 2007 NCAA Men's basketball finals: 1 of 24
In an earlier article, I had my final four picks being Texas A&M, UCLA, Florida, and Ohio State, in no particular order of preference. In going with Ohio State and Texas A&M in my personal final four, they were really more of the "cinderella" picks for me. The reason for that is that I feel that UCLA and Florida are still a n...

Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives NCAA 2007: Will Duke make the NCAA Tournament?: 1 of 7
This is one of those questions you raise an eyebrow and shake your head at, wondering exactly what was going through the mind of the individual who put this one forth. There is really no great mystery to the question really... OF COURSE DUKE IS GOING TO MAKE THE NCAA TOURNAMENT.They currently are sixth in the ACC, which may n... More..
Sports & Recreation > NBA High Scoring in the NBA: 1 of 5
This is a joke, right? High scoring in the NBA? Twenty four years ago, on Dec. 13, 1983, the pistons beat the nuggets 186-184, in triple overtime. A year earlier, on March 6, the spurs beat milwaukee 171-166, also in triple overtime. The time of true high scoring in the NBA has passed. In 1961-62, there were six players who ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Feminists vs. mysogynists undermine social unity: 1 of 4
I suppose that it would be unfair to automatically assume that feminism is something that is geared toward simply taking away power from men and giving it to women, because that simply isn't the case. The ideology of feminism, as has been described to me more and more recently by women who do consider themselves feminist, is ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Will President Bush fix our economy?: 8 of 27
President Bush can't fix our economy, so long as the country is at war. War was only beneficial to the economy when we were trying to pull it out of the murky depths of the depression. As we know, Bush has elected to stay the course in Iraq, Afghanistan, and every nook and cranny of the globe we've delegated as hot zones of ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Jealousy: 18 of 60
Who is he?Who is he, the man i saw,the one on your arm, your hands, your mouth,the one who has taken what was not mine,no, not mine, but ours, what we had,Is it worth it?It can't be,It shouldn't be,I have devised a plan for proof,Madly I assembled these haphazard words,Who alone had no meaning,Like stars outside a cluster,Lik...

Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Why Kobe Bryant's scoring streak during the 2006/2007 basketball season doesn't matter: 2 of 6
Kobe Bryant is the best scorer in the league; he has proved that beyond even the most unreasonable doubts. That said, what he has done still isn't enough to make the Lakers a contender in the West... and here's why.1. Scoring alone isn't enough to win a championship for a team. Kobe Bryant was knocking on the door of the reco... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Basketball NCAA tournament: Is the #64 vs #65 game really necessary?: 6 of 17
People would say that a #16 seed has never beaten a #1 seed in NCAA tournament history... and they would be right. People would say that none of the #16 seeds from this year have any prayer of knocking off the #1 seeds from this year... and that is likely the case. You could also say that Florida A&M and Niagara, no matter wh... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Does God exist?: 38 of 105
This is one of the questions that philosophers have been trying to answer for a long time now. However, regardless of whether they were trying to prove or disprove his existence, their actions and writings offered little in the form of actually answering the question, (the beauty of philosophy).Now I'm no philosophical or Bib...

Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Predicting the winner of the 2006-2007 NBA season: 15 of 40
First of all it would be healthy for you to assume that the winner of the NBA finals is most likely to be whoever comes out of the West. Before I lose any fans of the good teams in the east, like the Heat and the Pistons, let me explain my train of thought. The major flaw in the East is that the majority of its teams are sti... More..
