Real Fur vs. Fake Fur

Posted on: Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 in: The Topics

You’ve seen them, you’ve loved them or you’ve hated them: real fur jackets, accessories, trims, and more. Do you think we have a right to kill animals for fur? Are you the type to have a luxurious fur coat awaiting you in cold storage right now, or the type to ambush women in fur coats […]

Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama

Posted on: Thursday, January 10th, 2008 in: The Topics

Far be it from us to endorse any one candidate in the 2008 primaries/Presidential Election–as far as this site goes we’re the vague entity you’re meant to pay no mind to behind that curtain…
But you may have opinions about candidates. In fact, we bet that you do, whether you’re in the U.S. or not.
Today we’re […]

2008 vs. 1908

Posted on: Tuesday, January 1st, 2008 in: The Topics

Happy New Year! It’s very nearly 2008, and somewhere in between the sips of champagne and the choruses of Auld Lang Syne, you can’t help but squeeze in some reflection. So we’re going with a topic rather open to interpretation to celebrate the thoughtfulness of the holiday:
2008 vs. 1908
Were we better off 100 years ago […]

War vs. Peace

Posted on: Thursday, December 27th, 2007 in: The Topics

Christmas often brings with it some contemplation, and the New Year even moreso. As we reach 2008 many of us may be evaluating life, looking at the big picture, even waxing philosophical about tough topics. We’re presenting one such tough topic today:
War vs. Peace
Is war a necessary evil (or a necessary good)? Is peace the […]

Religion vs. Faith

Posted on: Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 in: The Topics

Today we have a seriously thoughtful topic–one to consider carefully, ponder, get philosophical, and give us your most empassioned response. Yes ladies and gentlemen, once again we jump into the controversy with:
Religion vs. Faith
…because there’s a difference. You can have faith without religion, and I dare say some have religion without faith. Which is […]

Reality TV vs. Sitcoms

Posted on: Wednesday, December 19th, 2007 in: The Topics

Thanks to the writers’ strike we here in America may soon be lacking choices on our television screens. But let’s pretend for a moment that we’ll have something other than reality TV to watch when episodes of scripted shows run out. Let’s imagine a time before Survivor–even before MTV’s The Real World–and think about when […]

College Football vs. Professional Football

Posted on: Sunday, December 16th, 2007 in: The Topics

We’ve had lots of great opinions, but it’s high time we stirred the pot with another topic. Today it’s one for the sports fans. We’re talking about…
College Football vs. Professional Football
(American [gridiron] football, for any international readers.) Which entertains you more? Has the heart gone out of pro football? Is college football too amateur for […]

Traditional Medicine vs. Alternative Medicine

Posted on: Sunday, December 9th, 2007 in: The Topics

‘Tis the season for more than just Christmas: it’s the season for sinus infections, colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia…you name it, winter brings it. How we treat those unwelcomed seasonal guests is up to us,  thus this ever-growing debate:
Traditional Medicine vs. Alternative Medicine
Are there some things only traditional medicine should treat? Are alternative treatments becoming more viable? […]

E-mail vs. Snail Mail

Posted on: Friday, December 7th, 2007 in: The Topics

Proper Christmas cards or Christmas e-cards? Greeting cards are awfully pricy now, and e-cards are highly customizable. Do you stick with busying our postal service, or push the virtual envelope with e-mail greetings? Is one more special than the other?
Though this topic applies well to Christmas, it’s more than just the holidays. Is snail […]
