Abortion is a highly personal decision that many women are sure they'll never have to think about until they're suddenly faced with an unexpected pregnancy. But this can happen to anyone, including women who are strongly anti-choice. So what does an anti-choice woman do when she experiences an unwanted pregnancy herself? Often, she will grin and bear it, so to speak, but frequently, she opts for the solution she would deny to other women -- abortion

While the tragedy in Norway happened by a lone wolf - let's not forget the true horrors of Islam. Please tell me people - when does something like this happen among Christians? Let's not be politically correct in realizing the real threats facing humanity as a whole is not "Christian" or "right-wing" terror but Islamic terror...

House majority leader Boehner stated last night that the president has, "manufactured," the deficit crisis. Basically Obama has not given in to the thought that all deficit reduction should be on the backs of the middle and lower classes. One would hope that Boehner is not serious, he should realize most of us understand who has created the…

At certain points near the extremity of human evil it becomes difficult, and perhaps pointless, to make ethical distinctions. However, I cannot shake the feeling that detonating a large bomb in the center of a peaceful city with the intent of killing vast numbers of innocent people was the lesser of Anders Behring Breivik’s transgressions last week. It seems to me that it required greater malice, and even less…

Fortunately it seems as if no one has been killed...but I wonder who committed the bombing? Why does one suspect it as retaliation for the Muhammad cartoons? So much with "peace and tolerance"
Edit: it seems as if at least one person has been killed with scores injured.

At a youth media literacy conference I organized recently, I was fortunate enough to experience the performance of an extremely gifted youth band whose co-lead singer is an Asian American female guitarist. At one point during the concert she tentatively introduced a song she had written about sexism by saying that it “kind of does still exist today.” I was struck by her qualified intro to the song. She is one of the few young women of color musicians fronting a…

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a…

Dear Heavenly father,
Why do I have to pray?
You already know
What I’m about to say;
You’ve already decided yesterday,
What I’m getting today.
Prayer is bullshit
There’s nothing to It.
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in heaven
And there’s nothing I can say
To change your mind anyway
So why do I have to pray?
Amen

I am not that much discriminating in the novels I read, though I can't stand junk;
Also I like like comic stories (but still not of the stupid kind...) and of course art books and art magazines.
Badly enough, I have a little difficulty reading scientific books; I think my I've got (at the moment) my (even if it is still small) share of it when I was being at university... and I'm still experiencing an overload !
So now , in my thrillers phase, I have…
