Of our 99 problems, rap lyrics are a big one
Libby Purves, writing for The Times, points out the obvious; though many seem to turn a blind eye to the fact. While I am an avid fan of hip hop and R&B myself, it’s hard to deny the effect it has on society. I agree there are some that rap intelligently and poetically, but many adhere to the rude and crude.
Give it a read….
Anyone familiar with rappers’ words will...

compromise.
I feel a little poisoned by reality today. Unable to sleep.
Thinking about that old fairy tale love story, where you find the person you’re meant to be with for the rest of your life and you live happily ever after.
Shattered.
Just as my friend’s happiness has probably splintered into a gazillion pieces. One moment of carelessness was all it took. Left her phone lying around for...

Rabbi Arranges Gay-Lesbian Marriages in Orthodox... →
Six years ago, Areleh Harel, an Orthodox rabbi from the West Bank, devised a plan to help an Orthodox Jewish gay man fulfill his dream of becoming a husband and father while keeping him in good standing with Jewish law and his community of believers. The solution: marry him to a lesbian.
Through a friend, Harel found an Orthodox lesbian who also wanted a traditional family. Within a year, the...

Kraken by China Miéville My rating: 4 of 5 stars Where to even begin?? I was looking for a steampunk adventure. There was plenty of adventure to be had, though not very steampunk-y. London is in the throes of an apocalypse, set off by the theft of a giant squid (God to some people). Billy Harrow, museum curator, gets muddled into a quest to recover his mysteriously vanished exhibit. But the...

the persons in charge of kid glitz beauty pageants sicken me =p
these things shouldn’t be allowed to exist. I am all for natural beauty pageants but spray tanning kids, making them wear heels and slathering their face with inches of makeup is sooooo wrong. Kids in makeup and adult hairdos.. hardly attractive or adorable. The big hair makes them look oooolllddd. eck….
Let them have...

According to the Unicef report, which measured 40 indicators of quality of life – including the strength of relationships with friends and family, educational achievements and personal aspirations, and exposure to drinking, drug taking and other risky behavior – British children have the most miserable upbringing in the developed world. American children come next, second from the bottom.

motherjones:
Women isolated from secular society, scarred for life, and beaten for crossing the religious authorities. Kandahar? No, Missouri. And conservatives keep the system running.
shocking! I’m always thankful of how i’ve been brought up, though I do disagree at times with how my parents border their world.

Redefining masculinity: why showing affection is... →
This ability to talk about emotions is part of an expansion of behaviours that teenage boys can engage in without ridicule at these schools. In addition to discussing topics often considered ‘feminine’, the male students also took great care in their appearance. Many not only dyed their hair, but discussed the best conditioners and moisturizers; their t-shirts highlighted their slim physiques,...

fear-mongering futility →
When my sister got detained at the airport for over 2 hours because her name had to be checked across a list of common names (blatantly a terrorist list) she said it was ridiculous. The sod of an officer went off with his colleagues going “did you hear that, the security of America is ‘ridiculous’”. well.. yeah.
Even if you were to profile my sister it is extremely...

would you choose...
all i’m saying is… would you choose love or fear??
why focus on the negative when you can choose the positive way of looking at things. why choose to display fear to show reverence?
Then again maybe I just dont understand, but even if I find my way out of ignorance somehow i honestly feel like I cant just choose to fear coz someone tells me I should. Must be the rebel in me.
