    Does anybody else feel that their love of math and physics has isolated them?

    Somehow, I find it harder and harder to talk to people, because pure mathematics is really the only thing that interests me, and, uh, most people don't share that feeling. I find it hard to talk about other stuff... Anybody else feel the same way?

    Is Chocolate the New Way to Say 'I Love You'?

    The new Hersheys commercial cracks me up! They are trying to redefine flowers as saying "I'm sorry", and chocolate as saying "I love you". And like the girl in the commercial says, who wants to hear "I'm sorry" for Valentines Day! :smile: Those advertising clowns kill me. They have gotten us...

    How do you know your parents love you?

    For me, I know my mom loves me because she's always willing to talk, and because she tells me and bakes me cookies if I ask her to sometimes. My dad doesn't really say it, and I don't say it to him. But, I know he does love me just by the fact that he goes to work and works three times...

    Is Homework Causing More Harm Than Good for Our Children?

    With regard to our 'hot-house' system of education in the UK, I would like to see homework made optional, so that children can socialise more and be under less pressure.

    Why do some people value the life of a dog over a homeless person?

    If a dog is found whining and unattended on the street, someone is bound to take it in and inform the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), who will come and collect it and give it a home in the warm. Not so with our own animal species and I sometimes wonder why some...

She makes demands, but we made demands of her. She had a household to run for years and years, running...

    Is a mother's love more crucial than 'care' for a child's well-being?

    I was horrified to hear of the UK government's plans to make child-care available in schools from eight until six. I submit there is a world of difference between 'care' and a mother's love and a good mother will tailor her work-routine to suit the needs of the child, and not the other way...

    Should We Encourage Early Romance for Lasting Love?

    We all fall in love around the time of puberty and we can all recall the name of the loved one the rest of our lives. The beauty and joy of such love would last for a lifetime if given the chance, but sadly our self-seeking culture denies the value of pubic love, insisting that it is better to...
