A dispute broke out between patrons in the Woodfrost Bar in the frozen Circle City this past Thursday. John Thorton attempted to settle the dispute between Burton and William

Have you ever imagined if morals can exist without religion? One day when I got lost in a multitude of useless trivia in the Internet I accidentally came across a thought-provoking sentence by a British writer Arthur C. Clarke who said that "one of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion." After that‚ I started to think about this controversial matter.

“You Only Live Once” Everybody these days say‚ "You only live once" but have you ever taken the time to look at why? Kids‚ teenagers‚ and a few adults that live by the modern terms pursue their actions upon this saying. Each individual is different‚ we all think differently based upon what we do‚ how we were raised‚ the culture were brought up in‚ and other factors that relate to an individual’s life.
