Six years ago, when I lived in a snowy mountain village and paid my bills by cleaning high-end sinks and toilets, someone said something that prompted me to confront an uncomfortable truth about myself.

Quiet. As if I have nothing to say. I remember the rest of that day. “Maybe I don’t want to talk about what any of you want to talk about. My little internal rant echoed a common human pattern, though I didn’t see it at the time: When people feel inadequate in some way, they tend to make up whatever prejudices or beliefs they need to feel okay about it.

A great deal of time and effort is spent by fundamentalist Christians to validate that the story of Noah's Ark was a literal fact as portrayed in the Bible. For believers, the story of the Noah's Ark is one of the pillars of a Bible that has no errors and is to be taken literally as absolute fact. Skeptics naturally have problems with this story.

A common Christian remark regarding Bible accuracy is to point out that many skeptics say that the Bible must be in error because the Ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals. Christians will then produce a wide variety of detailed feasibility studies, lengthy speculations, and good old fashioned, "with God all things are possible" rationalizations to prove that the whole Noah's Ark story is historical fact. The Noah's Ark scenario will always be claimed as accurate by anyone who wants to believe that it really happened.

After the Ark lands, the righteous Noah gets drunk and passes out naked in his tent. 12 Tough Truths that Help You Grow.

As the world gathers in Washington this week for the International AIDS Conference, it will be an excellent opportunity for the U.S. to engage in dialogue with the international community.

Note that word: dialogue. It involves talking and listening. Hosting the conference for the first time in more than 20 years is a great first step, but the U.S. needs to take more than a first step – particularly when it comes to drug policy. Why is it that U.S. legislators are so unwilling to consider successful policy initiatives from abroad? While the U.S. has been mired in a failed drug war, much of the world has begun to move on.

The youth of Gaza may spend their lives trying to surmount the shitty hand they've been dealt, but the old seem a little too tired to keep up the struggle. Khamis Sukkar is a Palestinian and the vice president of the Palestine Liberation Organization, a political and paramilitary group acting as the official representative of the Palestinian people.

He grew up in Gaza until he went to the UK to study. He now lives between London, Jordan, and Gaza—where most of his family are still situated. A few years ago, the Israeli Army wandered over and tore down the 400 olive trees that covered his 46,000 square feet of land. I spoke to him about his burned trees and, y'know, a few of those other problems Palestinians might have with Israelis. VICE: Hey Khamis. Do you know why they destroyed them in the first place? Did they warn you beforehand? Jesus. How will they justify it? How has your family been affected by the general situation? Khamis replanting his olive trees.

Ok, we all have been there….Burnout! Maybe it was trying to do some super complicated workout for weeks….maybe it was just going to the gym too often…or maybe it was just time for a change. We have all hit the wall, and it’s not pleasant. Once we lose that passion and excitement it’s time to reevaluate what we are doing…and take a new course of action.
