The first bullrider climbs into the chute onto a big brown long horned bull thats just a snortin and blowing snot and moving around alot. The cowboy nods his head and the red and white chute gate opens with a clang. The crowd becomes silent for a second and then roars to the cowboy hiting the ground. He runs back to the chutes with a slight limp to his left leg from hitting the hard ground and turns around to see hes safe then tips that dirty black hat to crowd.

... with out a care in the world. I don't really believe this, but some of Chuang Tzu's arguments have either made me strongly agree with what he was teaching, or go into the opposing view and really make me want to seek out more to life, than just my surroundings.
As a philosopher, Chuang Tzu has been under attack from the beginning. It has been said that "scholars at the time could neither figure out what to do with him nor overlook his caustic attack on their root assumptions."(Wu, 2) He has been misunderstood from the beginning. Critics are always condemning him, and not fully understanding wha ...

Abortion
Number of Words: 760 / Number of Pages: 3
... down my throat for so long, that for a while I decided what ever The Church
believes, I am going to believe the exact opposite. So for many years I believed in
abortion, and thought of it as no big deal, and thought that if I was ever placed in a
situation that abortion was an option, that I would just go ahead and do it, but now that
has changed. I took a morality class my junior year of high school, and one day we
watched a movie on abortion, and it had some really graphic pictures of aborted fetuses,
and from the moment I saw that I totally changed my views on the subject. After much
thought I ...

Wages Of Sport Athletes
Number of Words: 500 / Number of Pages: 2
... low for the NBA. During this season Jordan never made any kind of statement
about quitting or even leaving for another team to make the money he may deserve.
Other players such as Shaq (Shaquille O'neil), and Reggie Miller, and even
teammate Dennis Rodman have been known to say things like this. The only
difference between Jordan and the other athletes is that Jordan seems to have a
great devotion towards his team and the other players do not have the same
loyalty or devotion. The circumstances appear that Jordan might actually play
for the mere love of the game, while others only play for the love of ...

... is a biological deviation from the norm that can be explained scientifically” (Charland). Masturbation has not been proven to fit into either category. Masturbation may have been a deviation from the norm at one point in time, but I do not believe that it can be explained scientifically. Englehardt’s article says that masturbation was the cause of such illnesses as blindness and vertigo. But how were these conclusions drawn? Were these conclusions scientific in nature or gathered according to the views
and values of the times? Masturbation was turned into a disease, not with just ...

Cutting Class
Number of Words: 508 / Number of Pages: 2
... a student's grades will go down when he/she does not attend class on a regular basis. One reason is because it is harder to understand a subject in full depth when a student cuts class. Also, it is very easy to fall behind. When a student does fall behind, and his/her grades go down, the student sometimes doesn't realize that it has a great impact on college years. In my own situation, I failed to get good grades in high school and it has showed up in my first semester in college.

The Motionless Arrow: Aristotle's Thoughts On Zeno's Arror Argument
Number of Words: 939 / Number of Pages: 4
... 3. Time is composed of indivisible nows (instants).
4. Everything that changes place is doing so in the now.
5. Conclusion: The flying arrow doesn't move.
According to Zeno, time is composed of many indivisible nows, or instants.
Aristotle disagrees, stating in line 210 that no magnitude, including time, is
composed of indivisible nows. Exactly how long is an instant? Is time finite?
As you start dividing time, the smaller you get, the less movement occurs. But
even when you do divide it smaller and smaller, is there not at least some small
amount of movement occurring? When w ...
