We don't want to have to see anything that offends us or causes us to think contrary to what we believe. This is political correctness gone wrong.Political ... More..

With the US Economy struggling, we need to focus on what it would take to turn it around before we do find ourselves in a recession. We need to look at the economic policies of each of the candidates to determine which, if any, has a plan that will stimulate the economy and move us toward solvency.I am not suggesting the econ...

Is love really worth it? What a question! Unfortunately, I understand where it comes from. Anytime you love someone it involves trusting that person with those feelings. Sooner or later, and usually more than less, someone is going to step on those feelings or life will get in the way and you will be left broken-hearted.This ... More..

Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes How to recover from a broken heart: 9 of 177
Oh, how do you mend, a broken he aa rt..... (Bee Gees) It's a much discussed topic. Poets write poems about it, Songsters write/sing songs about it, the broken hearted lament it, and the whole-hearted dread it. It hits all of us sooner or later, so it is as common as love. But, what do you do when your heart has been broken? ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Art Appreciation Art: A waste of time or meaningful expression?: 2 of 39
Very few people in this world would view art as a waste of time, depending on the type of art. Some may not understand what makes something "art", but they usually allow that it's value is found in the eye of the beholder. I occasionally see "art" better left undone, but much of what the world considers art is a meaningful ex... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Will Hillary Clinton ever be president?: 3 of 57
While others may not agree, I sure hope Hillary never becomes president of the United States. Hillary is very, very liberal, and some of her ideas are scary. Not one of us will agree with everything, no matter who wins the 2008 presidency, but this woman scares me for many reasons.1. Hillary is a ranter. In a political arena,... More..
Computers & Technology > TV Should we be forced to have only digital TV?: 1 of 19
While many people are sick of hearing about the switch to digital television, they may not recognize this issue for what it is: an example of others deciding what is "best" for people without their consent. This issue exemplifies the progressive dipping into folk's lives by the government, micro-managing and invading. These l... More..
Relationships & Family > Friendship Drama & Issues When and how to end a friendship: 6 of 113
Friendships are precious things and should be kept and maintained if at all possible. I still write a friend from fourth grade even though we've lived apart since fifth grade. The hallmark of a great friendship is being able to pick up right where you left off even after long times between seeing/hearing from them. Healthy fr... More..
Business > Advertising Do ads that use sex to sell their products degrade women?: 2 of 37
Just because "sex sells" does not mean we should use it indiscriminately to do so. I am so tired of the sexual images on my TV in the name of advertisements (and more). Having gorgeous women parade around in their underwear, and gyrate as they wash cars is insulting. It's not only insulting to women everywhere; it is an insul... More..
