There is little question that the dominant subject in the news of late is IS. They seem to be all anyone is talking about, whether directly or indirectly (such as discussing Syria, refugees or Islam in general). As ever, this is another front of the war for hearts and minds, one with profound implications for […]
Yes, he really did say that. Leaving aside whether there is or is not a good argument for Britain getting involved in the mess that is Syria, this kind of comment is beyond the pale. What he’s basically saying is ‘if you’re not with me, you’re against me’. Where have we heard such rhetoric before? […]

http://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2015/11/23/bad-blood-boils-between-candidates-kasich-trump/76286328/ Kaisch is a smart Republican who from what I hear has done really well with Ohio’s economy in recent years – yet ego maniac Trump is looking more likely to become the Republican nominee. Says it all really!
As I read the various opinion pieces, tweets and Facebook posts concerning the recent attacks in Paris (and commentary on Islam and immigration), I am left wondering if we are reaching a crossroads as a civilisation. To our left, is a path of compassion. It is not without necessary evils – ISIS is a blight […]
I keep discovering new and interesting sites via WordPress, and this one is no exception. This post, by one Chris Murray, author of the Ego Factor, is an excellent and far better version of a post I myself made earlier today to describe religious problems. As I said before, extremism is a problem for many […]
Lately US politics is dominating the airwaves. This isn’t exactly a surprise, but it’s only going to get worse, especially as the election campaign over there gets into full swing and becomes the sole focus of even British media. Quite why we’ll ignore our own problems to focus on what’s happening thousands of miles away […]
Stop calling it a “culture war,” call it what it actually is – http://wp.me/p6y1O9-1V This article, reblogged from Unprotected Sects (I love the site name), neatly sums up the attitudes on display from the more radical elements of the religious right. For them, equality is not about living and let living, but about maintaining any […]

Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
I saw a social media post the other week, and it got me thinking. Does bigotry go both ways? If we want to get uber-technical, then it’s entirely possible for a black person to hate white people in general terms, or women to hate men, or for members of the LGBT community to resent those […]
