The Gay Guide to Wedded Bliss
An excellent article in The Atlantic Magazine highlights to benefits heterosexual partners can gain by looking at their homosexual counterparts. Perhaps, for those who are not stuck in a rut and only believe what they have never checked out, there will be a few tips in here on how to improve their own marriages. And [...]
Jesus And Marriage
In case you didn’t catch it, although I know that you’ve definitely read the post, there are a few comments added to my recent article Marriage and the Word. One interests me in particular because it is made by someone calling themselves J.D. To save you time: Jesus had more to say than you give [...]
Second Reaction
Probably the same as everyone else who wasn’t directly involved in events yesterday, I got the news about the Boston Marathon through a news service quite some time after the explosions. The German services had next to nothing – which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise – and the US services were equally [...]
Boston
If you haven’t caught it already, there’s been at least two explosions during the Boston Marathon. The news services in Germany have as little information as the US do, but here is a spectator video – safe to watch – of one of the explosions taken from Doug on Vine: Hopefully no one will over [...]
Marriage And The Word
If you haven’t been watching the news recently and catching all the reports about marriage equality, not just in the United States but elsewhere too, then you haven’t been watching the news. Along with gun control and North Korea it is one of the recurring themes of the month, if not of the year so [...]
The Toll To March
In my last post I highlighted the death of a woman through carelessness by a ‘trained’ sheriff’s deputy. Now, with this quick addition, I wish to take it a step further and bring a little bit of reality into the discussion. The Huffington Post has compiled statistics of all gun-related deaths since Sandy Hook. As [...]
Simple Safety
There is nothing which pushes gun control reform more than further examples of senseless killings, no matter how many people die or the circumstances of their deaths. But, as I have said in several posts here, the most important thing about gun control is to control those who are using them, to train them properly, [...]
Earn $500 In Minutes – Reality Clicks
I mentioned it in a post just the other day, clicking on adverts to make money is, for some people, a lucrative way to enhance their meager pocket money, to fill the treasure chest at home, to become an Internet millionaire virtually overnight. The reality is something completely different. I don’t know how many times [...]
The Best One
I’m sure that the Internet was full of literally thousands of April 1 jokes a couple days ago, and some would have been very hard to tell from the truth, from actual fact. For me, though, the best one has to be the man who shot a tree, and the tree shot back. Why? Because [...]
Our Political Masters
So, the Senate has finally passed or approved (since it is non-binding) a Democrat budget for the first time in four years. Finally. But this is only the beginning of what will be a continual fight, one party against the other, to gain control regardless of whether it is good or bad for the country. [...]
Eat Your Heart Out, Nigeria
Heard about the Nigerian Scam (also known as 411)? I’d be surprised if you haven’t. Someone gets in touch with you, tells you that an older family member has died or that tens of millions of dollars need to be ferried out of the country through a clean bank account. The only catch? A bribe [...]
Social Ills
No society is free from problems, regardless of where that society may be, who may be a member of it, whether it is democratic or otherwise. Societies which are technologically or financially advanced are just as caught up within the old prejudices, hatreds, straitlaced ways of thinking as those we – the advanced, free-thinking Western [...]
Getting Away With…
The trial comes to a close, but it is hardly a satisfying verdict for some. If you haven’t been keeping up with the news on the rape trial of several Steubenville football players and an intoxicated sixteen year old woman, this article just about covers everything. For me one of the most telling sentences in [...]
Defining Adultery
This is one of the more serious posts I tend to write now and then and will, possibly, require a little bit of thought and a setting aside of prejudice. If you think you can do it, read on. If you’re not sure, read on anyway, because what follows may well influence you, at the [...]
Spreading The Word
It will never go away, no matter how many people come to see The Light, to accept others, to understand that we are all one and all in this life together, there will always be someone who tries to separate the few from the many, to create distance, to further mistrust and doubt. It may [...]
