Not to horn in, but my school had uniforms, and it didn't change the bullying a whit. The nasty kids just found other reasons to pick on people. There were still clothing trends, like which jewelry you wore or how you did your hair, and you could get picked on for that. In my experience, as...

I'm an American who attended public school, K-12. (I'm a senior in college now.) My city's school district passed an act when I was in middle school that mandated a dress code for all students--basically, uniforms that you didn't have to buy from the school. Schools individually set their own...

Other Ideas (if you're into military history) - The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (it started WWI) - The failed assassination of Hitler at Rastenburg in 1944 - US internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II (not enough people even KNOW about this) - Kristallnacht (also...

On the other hand, if you're writing about the national ideology of a particular Cold War power, that's not a problem. It all depends how you want to spin your topic--of course, if the assignment is a straight factual narrative, that doesn't help, but for university classes (which are my major...

Honestly, I've done that with a LOT of games. I stopped playing The Wind Waker after the second dungeon and simply never picked it up again because I just didn't enjoy the game. Final Fantasy 8, for the same reason--after the intro part, I got fed up with the constant stream of random...

I've been known to call almost everyone "dude" at one point or another, completely without regard to gender. My boyfriend, my female friends, my mom...Doesn't matter. My roommate and I also make a habit of calling each other "*****," "whore," "skank" and the like--out of love, I swear...

Being a lady myself...I say tell her. If you love her at all, you owe her the truth. Yes, it will hurt, but guess what? You already hurt her by cheating. She deserves to know the truth, know who you really are, and make her own decision on whether or not to stay with you. If you respect her...

Abney Park. Little-known steampunk band. Quite catchy. They have their own website at www.abneypark.com

Well, in large part, it depends on what you guys like. When my boyfriend and I were first dating, we had a lot of movie nights (we're college students, and therefore broke) and we usually watched action flicks, because most guys like explosions, and I happen to be an adrenaline junkie. If...
