EXCERPT: I recently saw the movie Serenity. It was honestly the worst movie I have seen this year. The story moved too fast for the slow action it provided, the fight scenes were amateurish, and from what I could tell the movie was just there to show you what we can do with C.G. and big screen films. I understand there was actually a television series that lasted 8 episodes; I'm personally shocked it lasted for 8. It was interesting in the beginning but as the movie went on it just sort...

EXCERPT: Most Americans are ignorant, one way or another they are going to look down on other countries and scoff at other people. In Europe when you travel its most courteous and expected that you know the native language (or at least enough to have basic communication skills). Here in America if you don’t speak English you get the old "this is America, speak English or get out" statement.

EXCERPT: We've all heard of stories about "ghosts" or possibly even witnessed one first hand. I'm not here to tell everyone they are wrong, but is it possible that all religions are based off of a ghost sighting?

EXCERPT: I put this in the family section because it's an at-home issue. More and more video games are being produced every day in the world. Games that can help you learn, games to keep you entertained, and games that bring people together. I remember when I was younger my mom and dad wouldn't let me get a Gameboy or Nintendo no matter how much I begged. I didn't understand why, then my aunt got me a gameboy and The Legend of Zelda. My mom and dad were actually...
