More gun control, or should we all be armed?
March 25, 2008 09:13by: cicero

March 25, 2008 09:13by: cicero
Hardly a day goes by without another news article or website report about climate change and global warming.

Americans - who are you?
March 25, 2008 09:13by: cicero
One of the most interesting blogs I came across this week was an invitation by a blogger for people outside of the USA to tell us who they think Americans are, culture, politics, moral standing etc. As American culture has been adopted all over the world, it's music, food, movies and spirit, the r ...

Cosmetic Surgery – The price of getting on in life?
March 25, 2008 09:13by: cicero
The ever increasing commercially driven pressures that our society puts on women to be beautiful (even though that means blonde and thin), is resulting in huge increases in cosmetic surgical procedures.

What’s wrong with America?
March 25, 2008 09:13by: cicero
As we approach the moment when we elect our next president, it seems like a good time to look at the state of our great nation. Governments don’t fix themselves! Isn’t it time we all work together to identify what is wrong with America and come up with some ways to fix it? Whilst the govern ...

Near Death Experiences – Real, or just Hallucinations?
March 25, 2008 09:13by: cicero
I was astonished to read this week that approximately eight million Americans claim to have had a near-death experience! I have some interest in this subject as I had several out of body experiences in my youth, and although this is different to a near-death experience which is a profound psycholo ...

How do we prevent mothers having babies they don't want?
February 12, 2008 16:54by: cicero
As seen from the last question about the legality of abortion, there are mixed views on the rights of the embryo being more important than the rights of the mother. However the majority seem to agree that all life is precious and should be preserved whatever the mother’s circumstances. But ...

Should Abortion Be Legal?
January 26, 2008 12:00by: cicero
Is a foetus an actual human being? If it’s not, then how can it have rights? If it has rights, how does it affect the rights of the mother? If she chose to have sex, can she not choose whether or not to keep the resulting life? If she was forced into sex through rape, or there are mental or physica ...
