I know that food is a significant part of a national culture. I should experience local, traditional things, such as Taco Bell. Where can I go?

History major here, why haven't I learned anything about aliens, ice road truckers or rednecks?

I've always had a passion for history ever since my family finally got cable 7 years ago. When I got accepted to college I knew right away what field I wanted to pursue, but after a year of learning about pasty old white men and boring speeches I want to know when we can finally get to the interesting stuff. I know history is a very broad subject but I thought we'd learn about more important things like, you know, wrestling alligators, pawning off my grandpa's old junk and Nazi UFOs. I'm spending 25,000 dollars a year on my education, did I make a huge mistake?

I think everyone should have the right to kill babies but I don't think women should have choices, in general. Does this make me pro-choice or pro-life?

Boston Marathon bombing motivated by race?

I mean, it seems discriminatory to just pick one marathon to bomb. Shouldn't all races be bombed equally?
