    Realistic jobs with a liberal arts degree...

    Wth? Many people thought Blacks were equivalent to property and many people voted for Bush...twice. So some of you are suggesting that I get some technical training aside from my liberal arts degree? What would be a good combination? Also, the main reason I want to major in l.a. is that it...

    Realistic jobs with a liberal arts degree...

    I'm really interested in art (particularly writing,advertisement design,music,film) and humanities and am thinking about majoring in liberal arts, however, many people say that the lack of specialization will make it hard to find a job. Is this true? Any liberal arts majors here or anyone who...

    Know any good young jazz artists?

    Lol, I know Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse aren't THAT jazz but you do have to applaud them for doing something different other than R&B and rock. They were the only young 'sorta jazz" singers I could think of.

    Does anyone believe Ferrero can defeat Murray?

    If JCF can beat Simon, I think he also has a chance against Murray because Simon and Murray have some similarities in their game - they're both fast and have good defense, have good returns, metally strong, consistent, and don't give you that much pace to work with. But I don't know since I...

    This is unacceptable

    I'm in Hong Kong and they decided to switch from the Safina-Mauresmo (the world number 1 and a former number 1) to the doubles match between Zheng/Yan and the Williams Sisters. That was one of the most horrible and one-sided matches I have ever seen. Williams won 12-0 in 46 minutes and I don't...

    Wimbledon 2009 - Ladies

    sharapova's main problem was her serve. her serve used to be among the best but today she barely got her 1st serve in, which usually puts her inan offensive position. she had trouble with dulko's short slice and her returns were all or nothing. they were either jaw-dropping or crap. but credit...

    <sigh> Kids, kids, kids, kids.........kids.

    I was hitting with my friend at a park once and these high school kids were hitting on the court next to us with EIGHT people on the court at once and multiple balls. They kept laughing and hitting balls everywhere and my friend and I couldn't concentrate and kept having to pick up their balls...

    Cranky old geezers playing tennis.

    First of all, there's tons older players who could beat me and run faster than me and have great manners, but I'm talking about the cranky ones. No one's ridiculing them. They're ridiculing themselves and being disrespectul to their opponents. Of course there's cranky young people, but this...

    Cranky old geezers playing tennis.

    Yeah but wouldn't you think after playing for so long they would have enough experience to know that screaming won't get them anywhere? Yeah, there's young people that are cranky, but it's a stage they usually grow out of.

    Cranky old geezers playing tennis.

    There's some old people at the club I play that seriously **** me off. They say that with age comes experience and wisdom, but these guys act like little babies. They're so serious and uptight about winning when tennis is suppose to be a fun weekend pastime, but they argue over line calls...

    singles players playing doubles

    I am an offensive baseliner who, due to there being a lot of people at the club, have had no choice but to play a lot of doubles lately. To me, doubles is a lot different from singles in terms of shot placement and selection. I'm a good singles player but I suck at doubles. Is this normal?

    Michelle De Brito: AMAZING potential but needs to work on her attitude.

    Her match against Rezai was one of the most dramatic I've seen in a while. Rezai complained about Michelle's screeches and asked to speak with the supervisor. The supervisor had a talk with the umpire but a warning wasn't given to De Brito. De Brito said to the umpire that she had played 5...

    how do u prevent choking?

    During a high school match today, I lost the first set 3-6 but was leading in the second set 5-3. My opponent caught up to 5-5. I got ahead 6-5, and then got to 6-6. He won the match 6-3,7-6. I had all the momentum and a few set points, but all of a sudden I lost my lead. How do you prevent from...

    Miss California-Gay Marriage Resposne

    As for the argument that gay marriage will affect the structure of society because they cannot produce children, do you think that just because gay marriage is allowed, everyone is automatically going to become gay? The gays will still be gays and heteros will still be heteros. There will still...

    Miss California-Gay Marriage Resposne

    I also think that people are a little biased because on one side, you have this super-hot blonde model who composes herself very well and speaks maturely, while Perez Hilton is loud, vulgar, and not very attractive. Everyone should keep in mind that Perez does not represent all gay people and I...

    Totally, I know exactly what you're talking about -_-! You get this urge to just pick up a racket. It's like you have these two long dangly arms and don't know what to do with them. i knew i had a stress fracture from an x-ray. At first i felt just a little pain but didn't pay much attention...

    plus i use an extreme western grip, which is hard on the wrist. i'm trying to switch to more semi-western but that's like relearning how to hit the ball. so would you guys suggest me to still play, but just take it slow?
