Human beings are the only species to have the power of technology. However, we depend on another human’s effort for our survival. As a result, we choose to incline toward different rights to protect ourselves. Also, the state assures various rights to its citizens. Although we enjoy these rights, sometimes the offenders try to violate them resulting in imprisonment or financial penalties.

Only a handful of restaurants have incorporated the savory item in their menu.

We were focused on a discussion on flirting during a get-together. The discussion lasted for a couple of hours.  As we got deeper into the subject of being a flirt while in a relationship, everyone shared their own opinion. Some said that it was an inborn talent which could do no harms if the intentions were right. While, others thought that it was wrong, especially if you were already in a relationship.
