VIDEO OF THE WEEK: The Mountain: Michel posted a stunningly beautiful time-lapse video taken from the top of El Teide, the highest mountain in Spain. Check out the Milky Way! It’s breathtaking. Who needs magic when we can see this…

If you've known me, I was never a big fan of Barack Obama from the early days of his battles with Hillary. In fact, I was going to vote for John McCain but I resorted to supporting Obama as McCain went senile and chose Sarah Palin for his V.P. (he should have chosen Lieberman); and I know he let Iranians down in 2009 as he was idealistic and naive in his first year of office; but I feel that he has matured and while having made mistakes, has made some very bold foreign policy decisions. I am…

It has been assumed that, for a man to be content, he must fulfill four criterias: first, being in a fine physical health, second, to love women and then there are the two most important next ones.  For the third one, he must disdain ambition and fourth, he must question everything constantly.

These assumptions come from an Edgar Allan Poe short story, "The domain of Arnheim", that I did my best to present and to give some views of my own considerations…

Someone recently sent me his life story to demonstrate my foolishness for being an atheist. I think I may have spotted a flaw in his argument, but maybe I'm wrong...

The Stockholm syndrome has always existed but got his name after an incident in Stockholm involving a hostage situation that lasted long enough for the hostages to develop a link with the abductors.  Obviously, the police have known about this kind of situation for a long time now.

The term Stockholm syndrome was named after a 1973 hostage incident in Stockholm by Nils Bejerot, a psychiatrist. It was related to the fact that the hostages eventually developed an empathy, a…

Being an atheist which is a far cry from the norm already seems to put us apart.

Being an atheist can be a part of many thing s that can set us apart from mainstream society since we view the world in a different way and individually, have our own set of characteristics...

What if we suffer from dislexia, have gaps of knowledge in, for example, religious matters, have a different sexual orientation, have a very poor income level ?

What if we have been…

When I was a kid I went through Indian Guides and Cub Scouts. We moved around the time I should join Boy scouts and was disturbed about the god covenant part of it. I ended up dropping out.

I just received the following email from a neighbor.

I'd like to help this kid go to to camp but can't support the god portion of the boy scout pledge.

The girl scouts don't have that in there pledge.

Zombie Muhammad? Atheist Attacked by Muslim During Halloween Parade

Though Islam seems to be getting massive coverage from the conservative media, anyone who pays attention to what is happening in the U.S. knows the truth.

Yet, even if taken at face value, (which is the only way credence could be given to the thought, since all the statistics say it…

A bird's-eye view of my birthplace, Québec (the city, not the province.) We flew last Saturday for about an hour in the early morning. There was a bit of a haze at first but the weather was absolutely gorgeous. We might have caught the most colorful time of the season, it was incredibly beautiful.

The flamboyant death of nature.

I took a few pictures.

Nothing like living in a cloud

of your own making,

of your own choosing,

whatever colour you want it

like wearing coloured glasses.

And you just float around

and nothing touches you

down there or around there

time doesn't even exist

You're not even aware of it

You just float around

isolated from all

And then lightning strikes

you find yourself shattered

Life as you knew it is now…

Do you see? This is why I refer to the protesters as a bunch of anarchist/pseudo-socialist/extreme leftists mixed with right-wing isolationist naive individuals which have now been taken over by labor unions and other anti-American left-leaning groups such as MoveOn.org. They are allowing such illegitimate regimes such as the Islamic Republic to mock our nation in addition to compare their "grievances" to the Arab Spring in…
