terilee79720 @terilee79720 (3621) • United States 24 Apr 07

It's probably been done, in fact, I know it has. Maybe you can add fresh ideas to it. Can you write a poem or a brief story, (under 100 words or less), about What Freedom Means To Me? I will enjoy reading your work.

Are all these shootings a "generational" problem?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 16 Apr 07

Yet another "school shooting", this time in Virginia at Virginia State University. A gunman goes on a rampage and kills 30 people, within a span of 2 hours time. This seems to be a very "typical" headline anymore for a certain...

How would the world be different if people began to follow their own dreams?

samrat16 @samrat16 (2442) • India 12 Apr 07
