foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 5 Aug 15

This summer, I've decided to loan out plenty of books from the uni library. I've decided to start with the classics, because I've been skimping out on reading and the uni library is the greatest cache of English literature I've...

TSA and the paranoid United States

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 11 Feb 12

You know what I hate about homeland security? The fact that they make mountains out of molehills. This week, I came home from another country, and I was waiting at the carousel. Then, the drug dog comes around to me and the guard...

TIME: Joel Stein column

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 17 Jan 12

Oh, I love Joel Stein's writing style. Each week, when I get my copy of TIME for the week, I just flip over to his column and read what he has to say about the world. He often uses a humorous and/or satirical viewpoint, and that's...

The Fine Line

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 17 Jan 12

How do you deal with stress?

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 16 Oct 11

How do you eat ice cream on a cone?

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 26 Jul 11

It doesn't matter whether it's soft-serve or normal ice cream, but anyway, how do you eat your ice cream when it's on a waffle cone? I usually eat it from the top by licking it into more of a spherical shape that's shrinking. At...

The Death Sentence

foxontherails @foxontherails (236) • Japan 18 Jul 11

Is the death sentence a good or bad policy? Some states allow it, some countries do, but yet, others don't. But what if there's a man that has a disorder that causes him to have a strong urge to kill at random times? What would...
