I can’t say I am an expert – not sure if I know what an expert is but I think there is two things going on. The first thing is an evolution of porn and two, an evolution of what we think is porn. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and back then as a young man we all knew what porn was and to see porn to...

I would take a different approach. As modern scientist has studied our universe one principle that is believed is that the universe is isotropic.

Over 90% of those he started with had been killed in combat. When the war concluded his tank was in great need of repair. On a rainy day in Italy, he was w...

As I go through life some people really like me, most are neutral and a few haven't like me at all -- usually based on whether I ...

I love looking at stories from multiple perspectives. I like this one. I agree. I even enjoy this when done with historical events. Since the good Samaritan is fictional there is no end to the different perspectives that could be added without worrying about historical accuracy. Sometimes, fictiona...
