London and Prague 05
Dates are approximate, but will be close if not what's listed. I will be spending five months in Europe this year interning with two different organizations and conducting research on my studies comparing issues of Human Trafficking between Europe and the United States. Of course, I would be quite h...

The thing about it that strikes me, Joesph, is that there will most likely always be some form of conflict when you date someone new. I think it's all in the approach that will determine just how big the barriers are going to be for you. If you're flexible and open to new ideas and experiences, dati...

Heh, I'll bite. Of our current day administration, Condi Rice is one of the women who could easily qualify as one of my modern-day heroes. Even with her support of the Bush Administration's decisions that I do not always agree with, I still find this woman's education, accomplishments and tenacity, ...

Even if the jury believes that Andrea Yates, she will only get away with the insanity defense if she can convince a second jury of her peers that not only is she mentally ill, but that she didn't know that what she was doing was wrong. Yet, in interviews, she has admitted that what she did was wrong...

Yeah, absolutely there is an almost definite liklihood that the jury was swayed by the horribleness of the crime. I can't imagine being called on jury duty for such a case and have it affect me otherwise, but they were also given all the evidence from both sides and allowed the opportunity to delibe...

I love hip-hop. It's always turned me off how certain artists are rather brutal in the terms they speak to women of, but I think it's very subjective. I, personally, haven't noticed too much of the specific aim at teenage girls moreso than women. However, there are popular songs on the radio right n...

Not that they're equivilant by any means, but I would expect the U.S. to proportionally dole out more money for a disater relief needed in it's own country. As well, while the tsunami hit once, Flordians experienced bash after bash, after bash, after bash, from that weather over a rather extended pe...

Re: Evolution - what's your take on it?
Did God create the heaven and the earth in a matter of a few days, or did the universe as it is today come into being through a longer period of time (by other means)? There is another thing that really bothers me about the creationism. A lot of creationists believe that the earth was literally cre...

Teja, Scott Peterson probably will just die in jail, given California's history of death penalty...many people on death row, yet so few people are executed. Oh yeah. Well, he'll probably get in about 20 years before they can him. I don't know if he'd last that long in the regular population, what w...

If I remember correctly, when the bodies were recovered, it was quite gruesome. (Edited because I evidently type faster than I thin...

So, they're giving Scott Peterson the death penalty. In 99% of the cases, I truly am against capital punishment, but for some reason, I'm not so sad to hear this verdict. He'll spend his days at San Quentin, and to be honest, he'll probably be safer there. Just thought I'd share, and am curious to h...

Well, when I spoke of healing, I did so on a personal level, not regarding civilization. Religion, more often than not, I truly believe, is much more of a healing tool than a hurting tool for individuals who engage in it's practice, generally speaking.

I don't know if it's necessarily ignorance, rather than just language differentials.

Dennis - It wasn't Dutch, it was German. English, you are correct, did beat it out by one vote, though. I looked for an article, because I had remembered hearing about this, too. There's not much in print, but I did find this.
