As some of you may know, my 17-year-old grandson (also named Anthony), is a budding musician. He loves to share his music, and has asked me a couple of times to plug him on here. Please do me a favour and listen to his stuff, and give us your honest opinions! Thank you! https://soundcloud.com/anthonylewis-6

Hi, everyone! As some of you may know, my grandson (also named Anthony) is a 16 year old folk singer-songwriter, and he recently recorded a bunch of stuff and put it on SoundCloud. Would you folks be willing to listen and give some feedback? On things like... Lyrics? Music? Likes? Dislikes? Favorites? Etc. We'd both me much obliged! Here is the link:  http://soundcloud.com/anthonylewis-6 Enjoy!

Recently, I've noticed a whole bunch of religious debates on this site. Now, I don't mind a good debate about spirituality, but enough is enough, people! In addition to that, we have stupid, ignorant idiots like srom1883 (I know he he simply must have his full name typed out) who dodge arguments and just put up pro-Christian, anti-everbody else debates. Do you agree?

Recently I heard about a product that will be making an appearance within the next few years called "Google Glasses". Read more here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/google-glasses-dont-plan-on-buying-them-for-christmas/2012/04/06/gIQAf595zS_story.html My first thought when I heard about them was "wow, everyone will be walking around on the street with their computers right in front of their faces...what will happen to social interaction?" Now, this is arguably already an issue, what with smartphone users who don't know when to look up and see the world around them. But Google Glasses take it to a new level.  With the advent of this technology, do you think users will get sucked into the program, becoming completely unaware of their surroundings, isolating themselves in their own little world?  --OR-- Do you think that this is a wonderful advancement in human technology that will be a great convenience for any user? Keep it relatively intelligent, folks!

The site said the lyrics are too long to put in the field, telling me they exceed 5,000 characters. Microsoft Word, and common sense, tell me that it's only 1,200 or so characters, but whatever. The lyrics are in an argument. Be honest! Whether you like it or not, thanks.

So, most of us in our adult lives have known love at least once, right? It's a super wonderful feeling, and while I was with my grandson over Easter, he said something that got me thinking. He was on the phone with his girlfriend (they're both 16), and when he hung up the phone, he said "love you, bye". I asked him if he really loved her, and he said he loved her more than anything, though they've only been dating for three months. So, my question to you is: can teenagers legitimately fall in love, or do their hormones simply trick them into thinking they can?

Hi all...some of you may remember my grandson Anthony who is a singer-songwriter and (I think) 16 years old. I shared some of his lyrics on here awhile ago. Anyway, he has a Soundcloud page with a bunch of his recorded songs...he asked me to post the link here and get feedback. Do you folks have any? Thanks!   http://soundcloud.com/anthonylewis-6

Think about it: you're out on a date with a girl, and you pick up the tab and driver her home on gas out of your own wallet. This is common courtesy for a man, right? If a man doesn't do this, women are up in arms! But, by that same token, if a man says anything vaguely resembling a female stereotype, such as cooking, cleaning, or taking care of him, the same woman will be even more infuriated!   What is going on??

Many of you have heard of the Kony 2012 video, and the Invisible Children movement. If not... http://kony2012.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc Above are links to the Invisible Children website, and to the Kony 2012 video. Additional research is strongly recommended for this debate. Back to the point: I was just wondering...do you folks agree with the message of this video? Or are you worried about the alleged profiteering and scam of the Invisible Children campaign? Or, maybe you're just uninformed? I want to hear your opinions!

  I was reading a debate from somebody on here about the Four Truths of Buddhism, and I was wondering how people felt about the Nine Noble Virtues of Norse? Courage Truth Honour Fidelity Discipline Hospitality Self Reliance Industriousness Perseverance  

Pretty self-explanatory

Recently, I realized something about myself when I was arguing with a longtime friend of mine. I knew I had him right where I wanted him, but somehow was unable to finish him off. This reminded me of times during my life - mostly in personal matters - where I've seemingly subconsciously deprived myself of something I could have easily had. Through many of my teenage years and my twenties, I found myself in a situation where I was pursuing a certain young girl, and I would think to myself that I wasn't worthy of her, so I would make up some excuse to leave each time we were together, therefore depriving myself of what could have been a meaningful relationship. The point is, I recognized this sort of behavior from the film Taxi Driver, and I have begun to rever to it as Travis Bickle Syndrome. This is, of course, completely made up...but I was wondering...does anyone know of some sort of psychological malady whereby the victim deprives him or herself of easily obtained things or feelings, making his or her life a struggle at every turn? Or something of the like?

I've noticed that oftentimes older men are found with younger women, and the reverse is not often true.   Do you think that men age better and more gracefully than women?
