| The lack of walking is a symptom of helicopter parenting which is a symptom of fear being all out of proportion in America. It is not only social skills that suffer but physical and mental health. The lack of walking leaves you vulnerable to the obvious diseases such as heart disease and stroke but... |

| I never walked to school once. I wouldn't have been able to get up early enough to walk 20 miles to school, attend school, and then 20 miles home again before dark. On the other hand, I would sometimes get off at a previous stop and walk or run the mile home from there. In many cases, I could get ho... |

He set three beer cans on the table in front of the class and then left. The lawyer said that many students couldn't figure anything out from this. He said t... |

For some religions, believers of that religion are "validated" by everyone else being in the same religion. For many of those believers, anyone who refuses to join their religion are seen as being blasphemous enemies who don't deserve to live.
Guess which religion is most like that today. |

How does she get the pitch right and maintain it? And how does she enunciate her words clearly. Everyone I've heard who is deaf (unless ac... |

You must have made a typo, and meant "Scientology"
Scientology is the worldwide cult that exploits the tax exempt status of churches, and like that.
Sociology is just a subject in school.
Oops! You are correct.
I did mean Scientology. |

Alabama is a state that any Republican candidate should be up by around 20 points. One Senate seat switching parties means ... |
