Getting into a bit of a political mood, I guess. Just some of the things I noticed recently. The definition of conservatists and liberals seem to be relative concepts that differ among places and times. While reading some of the message boards on The Motley Fool, I began to learn what the current American society [...]
So, Timothy McVeigh was executed by lethal injection today. Since I didn’t closely follow his trial, I may be mis-informed, but here are some of the things I thought regarding the subject. The Oklahoma bombing was a great tragedy and I can’t begin to understand the feeling of loss of the families and friends of [...]
This is also one of those things that go back several years, but it came up again recently. And the interesting thing was one of my friends told me that I can probably get a grant to do a research on this subject… I don’t know if I’ve mentioned before, but one of the things [...]
I guess this can be another view against black-and-white point of views… (this isn’t really not too well thought out yet…) One of the frustrating things I see (not that I would really get frustrated or something) is that some people seem to believe that things can be only be one way or the other. [...]
This is also an old subject and it actually follows logically from this quip and related to this one. I believe the communication between individuals is the most important thing for any society to function and survive (this “society” includes from a group of two (e.g., lovers) to a nation and more). The main problem [...]
Well, this is really not something new. I have been thinking about this for several years now, but in a recent email exchange, the subject came up again and I decided to scribble something about it here. I think that the western romance novels and movies have been the major causes for numerous bad relationships [...]
Just got thinking again (gasp!). I think I’ve been realizing how important a concrete example is. There are many reasons why I still haven’t found a life-mate yet. Definitely one of them is that I still feel quite comfortable living by myself (which is a dangerous thing). I think, however, the bigger reason is that [...]
Got into a small argument about religion recently. It’s been a while because I try to avoid it as much as possible, but it seemed like she would never stop talking about it. After that incident, while thinking about it, I came up with another term “Personalized Religion”. I never liked organized religions. And frankly, [...]
There are certain types of questions that bother (or just stomp) me. One of those are “Do you like …?” or “Do you hate …?” I just felt uneasy, not knowing why, whenever asked those questions. I think I figured it out (yeah, I am not that bright nor do I have a quick brain). [...]
From a recent conversation, I realized that quite a few smart people seems to take an either-or approach to the idealism-vs-realism issue. That is, there are a group of people who believe that an ideal human state (e.g., no war, no conflict and happiness for everyone) can be achieved while there are another group of [...]
