Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?

102 of 314

The whole smoking in public places issue is yet another example of American extremism, the kind social consciousness that gives birth to all the hysterical reactionary delusions that drive this country deeper into its somnambulistic stupor. I am a non-smoker, and have never smoked a day in my life actually. I have, however, ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Are you obligated to be moral?

17 of 39

An obligation to adhere to any form of moral code is completely arbitrary and without foundation unless conforming to a specific system. The basis of any such system, although more likely than not holding similar scruples, is entirely independent of any universality. Lofty spiritual idealism seems to drive the notion of a hi...

Absolutely not. In no way should any God concept have a place in an institution that holds a man's freedom in the balance. When a man's very mortal existence hangs on the shoulders of a few, hopefully impartial, peers; when the birthright of every person can be whisked away in a heartbeat; in this world nowhere should there ...

Upon waking up this afternoon I noticed that one of my Moleskine journals was on my stomach, spread open and face down. It seems as if I had come out of my sleep state and wrote down the dream I was having at the time, which Ive been doing since I was a teenager, the difference being that in this case I didnt remember any pa...

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Best pop and rock songs of all time

9 of 14

Best Pop and Rock songs of all times. I will attempt to crunch and base my list on a few things other than simple taste, like social importance, influence, cutting edge styling, and quality of songwriting. Actually a few lists are appropriate because there are many ways of viewing this genre. In the first list I will name so... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?

86 of 122

Whether not not children should be raised without television is a question Ive frequently asked myself, and more often than not not gravitated towards no. It would be a little too obvious to simply paint broads strokes and shut out all possibilities that exist beyond mainstream television shows. For the most part television ... More..

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Popular music used in commercials

3 of 4

"One Way or Another" is seeping out from the tiny speakers of the television and when it reaches my ears I am dumbstruck. Its the audio for a Swiffer commercial. Blondie for housewives, I never thought I'd see the day. When I was a teenager and felt all the appropriate angst and awkwardness punk rock was my savior. Punk rock... More..

Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts How to know if the marriage is over

19 of 23

Speaking for myself, I knew my marriage was over when I saw the pain that I caused manifest as visible aging on my lovely wife's face. I spent the entire span in active addiction and she hadnt any previous experience with anything of the sort. I hid my problem quite well for a very long time, but as the intensity increased a...

Arts & Humanities > Arts & Humanities (Other) Arts, technology and the youth culture

2 of 2

The curtain must be yanked back exposing the wizard for all to see. Culture in all of its masterful guises aims at the heart of every one of us, regardless of age. Youth however, is the easiest target. Individuality, in fact hyper-individuality, is sold at any cost. It is under this pretense that every young American can be ... More..
