Entertainment > Television (Other) How can people spend so much time watching tv
8 of 33

I am just wondering how anyone can spend so much time watching television? I have friends that can watch hours and hours of pointless television each day. I do like the odd show but I barely get a chance to watch it. But other then that I hardly turn on my television. Look at everything you are missing out on when you spend ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Freedom to discover one's own faith without external pressures
9 of 18

Religion should be free for anyone to discover. One should not be forced into a religion by any means. I see no problem with raising your children to believe in the same religion as you do, as long as you let them learn about other religions as well. And when they are ready, if they want to change religions that you fully su... More..

Health & Fitness > Alcoholism Self harm and alcohol
3 of 6

Growing up I was always left alone. Raised as an only child after my younger brother had died as a baby. I would be the child walking alone or playing alone in the playground. I wasn't like any other boys around; fit in better with the girls. For years I tried to figure out why I was different. Still to this day I'm not sure... More..

Sports & Recreation > Recreational & Youth Hockey parents: Parent fans for youth sports corrupting the game
2 of 4

It is not just hockey parents that are corrupting the sports for kids. I have judged at karate tournaments and seen first hand that most but not all of the parents take the fun out of it. Sports are supposed to be fun. But how can the kids have fun when their parents are turning them into sore losers. When we teach karate to... More..

Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes How to recover from a broken heart
89 of 177

Well when I had my heart broken I celebrated. I know it sounds odd, but it was a great turning point in my life. When I had to break someones heart that is a different story. Basically when I got dumped I saw it as a positive event. I was free, I could be me. I could sing in the car, had more money, and didn't have to watch ... More..

Relationships & Family > Domestic Violence & Abuse Surviving domestic violence
46 of 88

Being attracted to strong sometimes abusive women is a problem I have. I always fall for the one that is going to abuse me mentally. One of my ex's I was with for two years and in those two years I was not allowed to talk to any females. And if we went anywhere I had to pay attention to her only. Not too mention she had slap...

Politics, News & Issues > Environmental Awareness How to live a greener life
18 of 31

A greener life can be achieved only if you want it to be. For one person to live a greener life they have to want to, because it takes a lot of work. The best way is to just look around at what you do for the environment. How do you leave an impact on the environment? Then you can start to change what damage you do to our en... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Jail time for Paris: Will Hilton learn her lesson?Smallicon
54 of 86

How can anyone expect Paris Hilton to learn a lesson by serving 3 days out of a 45 day sentence? It is appalling to know that the judicial system is that corrupt that somebody can go out drinking and driving, putting people's lives in danger and all they get is a slap on the wrist if that. I am completely repulsed by the fac... More..

Relationships & Family > Friendship Advice Can men and women be "just friends"?
80 of 125

If you asked me 2 months ago I would have said yes men and women can be "just friends". But since it is now I have realized that we can be just friends for a period of time. Based on my own personal experience I want to tell you why it can be a great friendship if you are both always honest with your feelings. Last year I wa... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Judaism The history of Judaism
6 of 9

Well this is more of a reply to a biased article on the history of Judaism. Now I am not Jewish, nor am I Christian. I am a Pagan and being a Pagan I will not say another religion is wrong because they do not have the same views as myself. How can you say that Judaism is wrong because they do not worship Jesus? I believe tha... More..
