It really depends on the general subject I think. Can help you with Business type work, don't have any experience with the rest of the subject mass. This the first University level essay you are writing?

I used to wear contacts every day and all day, and eventually I started getting irritated eyes. If you have an old pair of glasses, wear them on weekends or days when you aren't doing anything. It helped me a lot. Chlorine may not necessarily dry your eyes, but it will certainly add to...

I recently found the website of the world press photo organisation, and thought I'd share - it's a remarkable gallery http://www.archive.worldpressphoto.org/years Some of the pictures are very graphic and contain real humans meeting very violent deaths. Far to many of them in fact, but...

I dont understand why genetics has anything to do with it. Most people with severe genetic disorders, I assume, don't give a toss about what gene caused it, but rather how the fuck they get rid of the disease. Example: Alzheimers is treated as best possible with medicine. Obesity is best...

I think for me, although perhaps inadequatly expressed in my original post, is not what type of content ought to be classified at what age group, but rather: Where does the justification come from when classifying and whom's opinion is it based upon. I know they don't speak for me, my family...

First of all, apologies if this has been brought up before.To be honest, I'd be more surpised than McCarthy at Communist-Day if it hasn't, but I think the rather specific topic and example allow some wiggle room. One can hope at least. I was watching Kick-Ass with my friends tonight and...

Thanks for all of your replies and the warm welcome, it's much appreciated. I think the biggest problem for me, has been the mixed signals. Curse you mixed signals! As for course of action? I think Imp Poster is on to the right thing, and I hope Berethond is the one in the wrong. Only time...

Right... Been browsing the Escapist forums for quite some time, coming across very interesting topics and frequently thinking "I ought to reply to this..." but never did. I've finally registered and insteand I'm posting this. Partly because I've come to realise most people here "think like me"...
