What Happened To Healthy Debates?
UNITED STATES—I remember in high school I was a member of the debate team and the one thing I learned is that when you debate someone you have to listen to the other side of the argument. You cannot just focus on your argument because there are pros and cons to everything. You might say, well, what does that...
Do Pence And Graham Eat Bacon?
UNITED STATES—A while ago I picked up the Bible out of a curiosity to read what I previously had had no interest. It didn’t take me long to realize that it was not something I wanted to pursue further after Genesis 3:16. When God punished Eve for her sins by dooming all women to severe pain during childbirth, I...
Life Trajectory Changes
UNITED STATES—In a short few weeks I am going to accomplish something that I never thought possible in my life: I’m about to graduate with a Master’s Degree. Yeah, the past 3 years have been some of the roughest, busiest and exhausting of my life. At times I didn’t think it was possible to juggle two jobs, be a...
Reasons To Love Free Money
UNITED STATES—Who out there doesn’t like free money? I know I do, how about you? I think most Americans are alike; it seems the quicker that you get money the faster it disappears. When you factor in your monthly expenses between rent/mortgage, lights, gas, water, car payments, cell phone, cable, internet, groceries and anything else, there is very little...
Annoying Co-Workers
UNITED STATES—I know I’m not the only person who has those co-workers who the mere mention of their name or having an interaction with them drives you crazy. If anyone were to ever question my ability to be a team player it would immediately piss me off. Why? I do more than what most people do in a given...
Let’s Be More Active America
UNITED STATES—Spring has finally arrived America and with that being said I’m seeing more and more people outdoors. As soon as the weather gets slightly warm it’s like you see a complete change in the personality of people. I mean kids are outside playing, adults are running or jogging, the bicycles are out and yard work is being completed....
Why Such Hype For “Game Of Thrones?”
UNITED STATES—I tried, but for the life of me, I cannot understand the hype that so many people have for the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” I just kept hearing so much about this series, and the fact that its final season was going to be epic, I had to jump in and give the series a try. I’ve...
Frustrated With Work
UNITED STATES—Work it is part of every Americans life. We have to work in order to survive. When I say survive I’m referring to the basic elements of life like shelter, food and clothing. However, why is the psychology of work so tiring on so many Americans? It’s an honest question I’m posing because I know we all struggle...
The Minimum Wage Debate Rages
UNITED STATES—This discussion has been had before and it’s back at the forefront yet again. Should the federal minimum wage which currently sits at $7.25 per hour be raised? If you want me to honest, the answer is yes. The minimum wage should be raised, now should it spike to $15 per hour like some people are demanding? No,...
Spending Money For No Reason
UNITED STATES—Why do we do it? Why do we have those days where we just spend money knowing we shouldn’t be spending it to begin with? This is slightly different from buyer’s remorse because with that psychology, you initially want the item to begin with. However, to spend just to spend, places you in that situation when you know...
