By: Natasha Scott It’s funny how people who have cheated always try to say they're addicted to sex instead of stating the real reason why they cheated. Sex is a part of life, to some people its a BIG deal and to others it doesn’t really matter. People cheat…
By: Daniel Welsh So what was so radical about the American Revolution? Well, Gordon Wood, professor of history emeritus at Brown University, proposes that the radicalism that sustained and bred society as we know it wasn't quite that radical. In fact, most of us today would probably scoff at…
