If the political beliefs of a beautiful Lady turn you off, I would suggest you need to go for a very long walk and a real hard take at yourself and life.

"Or, are we just accustomed to poor quality no matter where it comes from?" I would put another proposition by way of an answer "We are more interested in price than quality no matter where it comes from" In the end, people will go for a balance of price and quality, and whoever delivers an acceptable balance "wins". Before that balance is achieved, people will always lurch towards price than quality no matter their pu

Currently there’s a book out titled “Hero” that is about a superhero who’s gay and falls for another male superhero.

"I think it's about time, since I DO believe in God, that I start acting like it" If you have taken the easy route of "I believe", and ignored the standards of whichever Faith you have - you are probably right. If however you are living your life following the Spirit of the "rules", if not the precise definitions, I would contend you are wrong. To give a silly extreme example by way of hypothetical illustration - if you o

To deliberately ignite debate over homosexuality using an individuals unfortunate death is not the brightest idea on the block. The Pastor was right to uphold his and his church's beliefs. If they disagreed with them, they should have gone to another church that accepts such funerals. Long standing members of the congregation? Why when that Church clearly held those views. Personally I dont think it matters a hoot whether he was homosexual or not, bu

It had all been met by chuckles over breakfast back in that Sunday Morning in August of 2007 when Mr Claramunt of Galactic Suite announced the start of a $6Bn project to place in orbit a new Hotel, for which guests would pay a mere $4m for each stay of a few days.

it is the system that is corrupt not the people electing these officials I don’t think anyone would deny that, that’s not the issue. Ultimately it is the people who create a system, and ultimately it is the people who bare responsibility for correcting that system. We should never be in the situation where politicians are allowed to "create" a system, or manipulate a system. They should not be able to do that in the first place. If they are ab

That wasn't the point of the article. Maybe so, and we will agree to differ there. However the statement: "Gays cannot produce offspring. Therefore, they are nowhere fit to survive. What advantage can homosexuality have to the human species?" beggars belief, and in itself sets the whole article in a very bigoted light. If individuals cannot see the blind unacceptable bigotry there, particularly as at least o

I happen to agree with a good portion of it and would like to know what is so bigoted, moronic, ignorant, ill-informed, etc. ad nauseum about it. The first half for me was fine, albeit I thought strong and I disagreed with the general tone and proposition, but fair enough, we all have our views. The second half contains my strong objection. Personal views below. I am a firm believer that you can do what you want. I have n

oops missed one How does me being peaceful cause others to be so Thats the cornerstone of leadership - leadership by example. It does not only apply to Leaders. Its arguable we are products of our environment, and our values are to a great degree set by that environment ie Culture. If that environment strives for peace, you are likely to follow that example as its the only one you have known. Drill down on that with the Buddist <img sr

How do you "fight" for peace I take your point - delete fight, insert "strive" - the effect is the same. So, is world peace ever possible No. As to why in that case call it "peace", your right it is an unobtainable concept in an absolute sense, but still valid even though its not attainable to perfection. In life the best challenges, goals (etc) as those just out of reach, but theoretically w

it just proves that "peace" is just a concept. In an absolute sense of absolute peace and perfection, Frankly yes, there will always be "violence". That doesnt mean to say its "ok" to be violent, nor that people accept its "ok", because it sure isnt. Just because someone pragmatically accepts that violence to one degree or another will always exist, does not mean they wouldnt like peace, desire it, and fight for it. Not to do so would be headi

that is still unacceptable I dont deny it, but your odds for surviving murder just shot up to 99.994%, and your figures mean 99.53% dont suffer from violence. As for the rest of the world, you dont want to know the odds out of 6.7Billion. I understand where you are coming from, but mentally falling on a sword over it is not going to resolve it, it just means you waste your existence in a cloud of depression.
