I’m not fund of sports people who unfairly take drugs to enhance their performances against drug-free competitors. When (or if) they are caught they should be punished to the full extent of the law.
Any athlete found guilty and have served whatever punishment they were charged and convicted for, should be forgiven and be allowed to [...]

There is a subtle difference separating the word ‘gangsta’ from it’s grammatically correct cousin gangster. Out on the street also the meaning is a world apart.
For instance a gangsta is usually a streetwise toughie who subscribes to a certain lifestyle where crime might be prevalent. However, they could also be someone who simply just loves [...]

Hilary Clinton’s quest for power, perhaps like all politicians, know no limitations. And that includes lying and spreading misinformation.
But she was caught out when she recounted how on a trip to Bosnia’s Tuzla American airforce base in 1996, while still White House First Lady, she had to run for cover because of sniper fire on [...]

It makes me chuckle when I see folks huddling in a group outside their workplaces, sneaking a smoke on a cigarette. They look like drug users desperate for a hit on their vice of choice, so I tend not to pity them but instead regard them as sad cases, ruled by their urge fill their [...]

A friend seems to think a woman who tricks a man to get her pregnant is acting out of love for him! I strongly disagree! Such a woman, I suggest may actually hate that man and far from there being a love motive, may have deceived him out of hate.
My perspective is forged around an [...]

US presidential hopeful Democrat senator Barack Obama is an “extraordinary political talent” who would provide a stronger opposition to John McCain, the Republican representative in the Whit House race.
This is the view according to Michael Gerson, former senior aide to President Bush, who suggested that Obama’s ascent to the White House would be “one of [...]

There was a time when I held Rastafarianism in great esteem and looked upon some Rastas as being great examples of an ideal that I knew was hard to uphold. Things are changing. I still respect the ideals and ideology of Rastafarianism but now I think I would be hard-pressed to find a Rasta adherent [...]

I have always thought there was something particularly odd about Bill Clinton. But I never thought I’d ever call him a racist and be serious about it.
You would usually expect a Democrat to be more understanding of racial issues than what Clinton is currently showing but you can tell a person’s character from his actions. [...]

I hate having to pay for things you do normally as part of your function as a human being. For instance having to pay for taking a…leak! In fact I also bristle at the idea of having to pay for fresh air and clean water in some parts of town.
While we are at it I [...]

Oma my Pakistani friend was unusually chirpy when she called me this evening. I sound found out why. “I’m getting married!” she screamed, forcing me to almost choke on my glass of home-made lemonade.
“Oh, really?!” were the initially words that tumbled out of my mouth. “That’s…good…” What I really wanted to say was: “That’s a [...]
