Re: Favourite poems
It's great, Noggin. Here's one I read recently and liked: Love After Love by Derek Walcott The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger ...

Where morality comes from.
In spite of my submersion in the English language over the last five years, I sometimes still have comprehension problems.

I also wondered about home schooling. If I understand correctly, a much smaller percentage of kids are home schooled in the UK and the main reason is because they are academically brilliant and don't get the stimulation their parents think they need from schools.And I believe they are tested regula...

If I witness someone injured or killed by a hit and run driver and I have a mobile phone, it would seem immoral not to call an ambulance/police immediately. But if I se...
