It will ruin my entire day when I see a fresh corpse of an animal in the street, especially a cat or dog by the road. I feel so horrible for them dying that way with all the cars rushing past the corpse.

I teach college English. In my classes, my students are supposed to write argumentative essays. Because this is a public institution, the use of any sacred text for issues that are not exclusively tied to specific religions is disallowed. Instead, we encourage students to argue their points without circular reasoning (a logical fallacy). (______ exists because _______ said so.)

I have students who repeatedly want to argue international issues like marriage, morality, homosexuality, etc. and support their arguments with sacred texts, often, the Bible. I reinforce to these students that their issues often affect everyone on the planet, and not everyone on the planet is Christian. But they do it anyway, and they end up getting lower grades because they did not meet the logic portion of the essay. Sometimes, they are smug about it.

I'm desperate to understand how to approach these students without making them feel like they are "victims to a liberal education system."

Ideas?

Why do people act all hard on Myspace? It's so stupid when people try to act like there the **** on that stupid website but i personally think that they should grow some ball before typeing **** about other people. Don't get me wrong i love that website cause it lets me keep in touch with old friedns and i love posting pictures. But some people think that they can talk **** and when it comes to really stepping up they run like little bitches.

I'm out of work right now, had a great IT career for a while, but for whatever reason my career is failing and my savings is almost gone.

I hate the weather here in Wisconsin, it's cold and won't be warm again until June.

I'd love to go try to make it on Hawaii, but my 2 dogs need me and I wouldn't be able to take them with.

My drinking is getting out of control, but I get so bored that I keep ending up going to the bar across the street from my house.

The Gays are trying to gain the right to legal marriages, and adopt children. This is ridiculuous and against the law of nature. This goes against GOD and The BIBLE. The gays have no rights. i'm not gonna beat up gay people or curse and sware at them in public, but they should not be allowed to get married and adopt children, the fact that New Jersey, and vermont allow this is disgusting, and there is no major public out cry is what shocks me the most. anybody else agree with me.

A discussion at a wine bar with several conservatives--Have you ever traded nonsense for points? No, I replied, although the idea of it sounds titilating, it might turn some of you here off. My opinion is, we nonsensical types are usually more intellectually robust. But surely some of you have thought of trading nonsense for points? No, I replied, I haven't done so. To do so would meet with some stern disapproval from you, and I greatly fear your judgement. I most certainly would find myself condemned for my actions. Since I know this to be wrong, I will not do it. I am still of the opinion that it is wrong. Can you help me prove my point?

Dimonds are mined by africans in mines owned by people forign to their lands. The working conditions are hazardous to their health. Dimonds are often found near naturally occuring asbestos. The miners work to make the dimond owners and cuters and brokers and dealers very rich but are not paid enough to live above the poverty level. For more info take a look at this site http://www.sparkle.plus.com/koffie.html
I hope this might make people think twice before flashing their bling.

I've been there, didn't like it very much. The scenery was beautiful, but there wasn't much to do, and the people were impolite and almost standoffish--and I'm a very friendly Texan!

What do you think of the people, culture, attractions, cities, scenery, etc.?
