misskatonic There is no anti-drug campaign that will work. There are no magical words to keep kids completely away from everything that could possibly hurt them. Why? Because kids are stupid. I don't mean that to be snide, I mean that literally. Their brains are...

lauriefnp You have a really good point here. Adults can tell kids over and over again to "just say no", but we know that even the most sensible kids are vulnerable to peer pressure and the temptation to experiment. I think that it is very important for parents to be...

Has anyone else noticed how crazily religion plays a part in things like serial killers and very violent people? How many of them come from very strict religious backgrounds? For example, Ed Gein, who so many movies were based...

While the aforementioned movie is based loosely on fact, many claim it is the truth, and that it is a conspiracy to hide the truth. Thoughts?

xkaraix Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. The reason is I've complimented people in the past who I don't like too much but thought they should know whatever it was and then they kind of clung to me... I can't stand clingy people so it was a bit annoying :D I...

Out of all the Goo Goo Dolls songs that you know, which one would you say fits your personality, or liking, the best? Why would you say that? Personally, I think "Name" does. It's been my favorite song, probably since I heard...

scorpiobabes I like the song, but I'm not really a fan. Perhaps if you asked me which Police song fit me, I'd be able to give you an answer!

Why is it that people still find the need to stigmatize welfare recipients? People still seem to have the image of a "welfare queen" that they apply to those in need. Most often than not, people are on welfare because THEY NEED...

danishcanadian What a great question!!! I mean, that's a REALLY GREAT QUESTION!!!! I agree with all the reasons you stated above, for people to be on welfare. As Mom says "there but for the grace of God go I." OK I don't think God has much to do with it since that sounds...

strawberrymudd It doesn't really work that way, though. Without actually getting a job, or trying for a job, you dont get your full benefits at all. In fact, if you are offered a job and don't take it because you "dont' want it" it's still considered not cooperating, and...
