Is swallowing gum really that bad?

No it's really not that bad as long as you don't make a habit of it.

If it were, I'd be dead. I'm not sure that I've ever thrown out a piece of gum in my life. I've swallowed literally thousands of pieces of gum.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
