The first date is a tough time for any young man. After successfully gaining the attention of a beautiful, young maiden, the young man must then prove his mettle on an exclusive outing that will hopefully build upon a blossoming relationship. Of course, this young man might have a number of what can only be described as major quandaries invade and soon take over his mind:
What to say, where to go, and what to wear are all worried over for unreasonable amounts of time until the young man is somewhat pleased that his selections will appeal to the beautiful maiden. As he makes his way to her ever-so-humble abode, one last little quandary creeps into his mind. Should he, as a young man, show up at the door empty handed, or bearing gifts..such as flowers? Will she spurn his advances for not placating her? Even worse, what if she rejects him for being too forward? What if she’s allergic to flowers? Oh, god what if the flowers kill her???
Have you ever been in this young man’s position? Ladies, do guys have better chances of wooing you if he shows up on your porch with a dozen, red ones?
Should guys bring flowers on the first date?
Obama or McCain?

With Election Day looming over the “land of the free, and home of the brave” many, if not all of us have already chosen the candidate we’ll be voting for, or supporting, on Tuesday. However, which is truly more qualified to lead America through the myriad of problems it’s facing? From huge economic meltdowns that threaten the well-being of the entire planet, to Homeland Securities that are constantly being tested and threatened, the next President will have some pretty big objectives to pass in order to get this nation back on the right track. America is on the verge of making serious history, no matter which way it goes. Either the first female Vice President or the first African American President in our history will make headlines across the globe. With only 3 days until the nation chooses a president, do you know the facts about the candidates? Does emotion, media hype, gossip, rumors, racial loyalty, parents/friends/teachers, religious beliefs, or logic influence your decision?
Which candidate do you support, and why?

Since its onset as a successful genre in the early 1970s, Hip-Hop has easily merged with various music cultures in a major way. However, one major genre, and its followers, weren’t as willing to allow a mesh of societies. Rock, in its various forms, has held strong front against Hip-Hop/Rap, and hardcore fans of both sides believe the opposing genre is worthless as music. However, there have been many instances where the two genres were able to blend beautifully, almost killing the presumptions from the factions of both fields, though nothing has really merged their disbelief into a complete acceptance of one another.
Which is better: Rock or Rap, or are they just two incredible forces ready to take over the world?

Though every E-warrior across the galaxy has declared their proclamations as law, I think we all know how skewered the opinions of ITGs are. Though nothing new, cutting is defined as a form of dealing with depression or other emotional issues that a person (usually a teenager) is plagued with. However, what’s the reasoning behind it? Do cutters think about what they do before they make that first sliver into the skin? Does it really aid in coping with emotions, or is it just a cry to the world saying, “Someone please look at me, I’m desperate for attention!!”
Is a cutter synonymous with emo? Let’s get down to the vein of the issue (bad joke?)
Are cutters truly attention whores?

Throughout today’s society, women are fighting for what they believe is their God-given right as human beings: An equal standing among men. Throughout the history of mankind there have been very few cultures, societies, and empires, the biggest of which was the Ancient Egyptian culture, that gave women the same rights as men. Though constantly proving their worth, women across the globe are still struggling with their rights from the very beginning. From the workforce to the playing field, girls are apt to showing that they are made of stronger stuff. However, is it all in vain? Are men just destined to sit on top of the social food chain?
