Should soccer exist in the United States?
Dear John: When will the US understand that the universal sport of soccer cannot exist in our country? It is a poor mans sport where no equipment is needed, only a ball and a field in which to kick it. It cannot survive in the US for three reasons: Boring, boring, boring. The most excitement is among the spectators who burn or stampede the stadiums or kill the goalie or referee which is where the term fan was derived: Fanatic.

Getting to the Root of the Problem (Protestant/Evangelical Caucus and Devotional)
The Bible has much to say about the heart. In Scripture, the heart refers not so much to an organ that pumps blood throughout the body as it does to the core of the soul, the deepest seat of human affections. It is out of the heart that the issues of life flow. Jesus saw a close connection between the location of our treasures and the drive of our hearts. Find a mans treasure map and you have found the highway of his heart. In this fallen condition, the heart is seen as the root of our problem. We are...

The end of young love: Dating is in decline among the "i-Generation", study finds
Dating is in decline among young people, a major study has found. Those born between 1995 and 2012, dubbed the i-Generation, are noticeably less interested in romance than their millennial predecessors, according to a new book by Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University. Teenagers from this group have grown up with social media and smart phones, meaning they spend far more time socialising with one another online than they do in person.

China's North Korea stance: laggard or leader?
PUTTING IT IN PERSPECTIVE - Beijing's caution risks undermining its growing reputation as a global player. But seeming weakness is a price it appears willing to pay now, in the interests of a long-term leadership goal: to take over America's old mantle as the dominant power in Asia. PARIS AND BEIJINGIs Chinas courage failing? Exasperated and embarrassed by North Koreas nuclear and missile tests, Beijing is nonetheless shrinking from using all the influence it has to stop them.

Mysterious man trashes American flags from 9/11 memorial
Members of Columbia University College Republicans walked out of class Monday afternoon to find a man removing the flags from their 9/11 memorial. The unidentified man removed a row of at least 50 flags, threw them in the trash, and went back for more. An angered Columbia University ROTC student recorded the event. I ran over and asked him what he was doing, and was laughed at with no proper response, the student recounted. I asked a nearby Public Safety officer what could be done; but he was well within his rights to protest, so I recorded the video.
