    Is our technological advancement really a healthy thing?

    Considering my short life span so far, it really does seem that a vast majority of human advancements over the past 20 years have been entirely technological. Is this really a good thing? In some ways it is: medical technology has improved, etc. But in many ways, has the human species really...

    Did you like this season of Dexter (Season 5) ?

    I liked it, but it wasn't as good as previous seasons. Too much of the same things - Dex almost gets caught, Deb almost finds him out, he encounters a new "evil serial killer", etc. I wish Deb would have found him this time and the show would have taken a different direction next season.

    I haven't, but he is doing a book signing near me at a local bookstore tonight, so I was thinking about checking out his reading and getting a signed copy. Anyone read this?

    what do you think of my story and be nice please as everyones an author as of late in...

    These are basically reading your notes or first draft scribbled on paper. I won't read it. If you want others to do you a favor, at least clean it up, use proper punction, and be easy on all of our eyes by using paragraphs. This is like me asking you to help me move, then you get to my house...

    Which author is a modern-day Kurt Vonnegut?

    Is there an author, who is living today, who you might consider comparable to Kurt Vonnegut, both in terms of work/talent and popularity? Who do you consider to be some of the most talented and famous (and these two terms often don't go hand-in-hand in today's literary world) authors who are...
