May 20, 1999 Twelve Angry Men In the film Twelve Angry Men, I believe justice was served. Without juror number eight, however, the outcome most assuredly would have been different.

Dead Mens Path
“DEAD MENS PATH” The story I read didn’t mean the same to me as it did to other opinions of people that read it.

If changed never happened then we wouldn’t get anywhere in life. I think it was wrong

How Men React to Attractive Women.
The ability or often, promptitude of males and females to flirt and be flirted- a set of behaviors and mutually understood signals deeply and universally embedded in our psyche during a long, transcendent history and beguiling sophistication-has been long trivialized if not demonized.
