a soggy pillow upon which to lie my beating head,flat and hard, from the incessant pounding of fists,anger ringing in my blood,rage consuming my motion,my thoughts a swirling haze,like Peter on the water I cry out,but there's no hand,not the Lord's,not any of the four that used to be joined in holy union,an unholy shame,my sh...

Sports & Recreation > NBA NBA age limit issue: 31 of 41
I think that the age limit in the NBA helps young talents polish their skills in the collegiate game. It allows them to fill out before coming to play against some of the biggest players in all the world. The most important thing it teaches them is to be a part of a team unit. College teams are often more about solid contrib... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News (Other) Judging the ignorance of US citizens in world issues: 27 of 35
The main reason that Americans are unaware of what is going on in the world is that they choose not to know. Regardless of whether they believe factors churning outside the U.S. affect them or not, we are for the most part still consumed by the American dream. We all possess that drive to make more of ourselves and it become... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives NCAA Basketball: Predicting the 2007 Men's Final Four: 18 of 22
When you answer this question, you should only pick four teams, teams you feel or KNOW will have the best chances of making the final four. You shouldn't list two teams per region or have a grand total of five or six. If you want to sit on the fence, you should avoid answering tough questions.The following is a breakdown, by ... More..

As a person who lives along the border the effects of immigration legislation hits our area a little bit harder. Plus, I get a better idea of how things work. I'm sure that the general consensus on the idea of building a fence along the border is completely ludicrous. It doesn't matter if the fence is twenty of one hundred f... More..
Sports & Recreation > NBA Basketball brawls: The 'thug mentality' of the NBA: 12 of 14
What's the big deal with fights in basketball? True, it is despicable and unnecessary but why do people get so horrified. Let's investigate. In hockey, people go to the games to see a fight. In baseball, there is nothing more exciting than a bench-clearing brawl. You love it when a manager gets into the grill of an umpire. S... More..
Sports & Recreation > Baseball Players Building baseball's all-time greatest team: 25 of 29
These kinds of questions are always a bit trivial to propose. First, they don't offer any guidelines and critique of any guidelines you may try to put forth are often subjected to extremely critical analysis. With that in mind, here are my guidelines for my greatest all-time baseball team.1. These are players that were the m... More..
Sports & Recreation > Basketball Players The most underrated NBA player: 15 of 17
I think that the most underrated player in the NBA should come from the most underrated team in the NBA. In the West, even a team with as a record as the Jazz gets lost in conversations if for nothing else than their lack of household names. Like Mehmet Okur for instance. Here is a guy who gets even further swept under the r... More..

When you say that there are certain players to look for in this year's tournament, that means it's time to focus on the great players that fly under the radar, the guys that don't get all the love they deserve. More often than not, that is because they come from smaller schools, the "mid-majors", as they have been affectionat... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry The impact of blogs on the news industry: 36 of 40
Blogs are bad for anyone who wants to get reliable information on the news. The primary purpose of a blog is to allow a person to vent. As we all, when we vent, we often say things we don't mean, say things the wrong way, and don't really consider what it is we are saying. We just let it all out. So, what a blog offers is a ... More..
