Religion & Spirituality > Theories of Spirituality Book reviews: The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne: 1 of 29

A Review of "The Secret" It was with some scepticism that I recently purchased a copy of the DVD of "The Secret". Now I am sorry to anyone who is solidly behind "The Secret", or to anyone that is sick and tired of this topic, or worse still could not care less, but given the shear volume of sales of the DVD of "The Secret", ...

Entertainment > Movie Analysis Movie analysis: Alien: 1 of 6

A classic movie and a must see for any serious movie connoisseur, it is number one on my list of the ten greatest movies of all time (although I am not suggesting it is the best of the ten, only that it makes it into my ten, and is the first of the ten that I shall consider). The Plot The Nostromo is a commercial vehicle en ... More..
Arts & Humanities > History (Other) History of the Swastika (or the Crooked Cross): 1 of 3

The swastika is one of those characteristic marks that everybody knows. It was made infamous in one variety by the rise of the third rich and their leader Adolf Hitler during the 1920s as the Nazi symbol. The swastika is an equilateral cross (its arms are all equal in length, spacing and design), with its arms bent at right ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) Australian federal election: 3 of 7

The countdown has almost started and we will soon finally know whether those polls have been accurate all along or not? If the polls are to be believed, then Howard's days are numbered, and we are looking at one of the biggest swings in Labour's (Labor's) history. If the smug smile on Rudd's face is anything to go by, then h... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Is 40 really the new 30?: 57 of 115

I have (just) had my 40th birthday and although I really hate myself for doing it, I find I am starting to hide my true age from people when asked about it. I know this sounds bad, but as a male this has not been as much of an issue, as I have noticed it has with my female friends. I find I am suddenly very conscious of the ... More..
Health & Fitness > Digestive Diseases Living with Pouchitis: 1 of 1

Introduction Many of you will not know what "Pouchitis" is because it is only a small group of silent sufferers who have this disease. However, the numbers are not as small as you might think, and are comparable with the numbers suffering from schizophrenia, epilepsy or multiple sclerosis. I was recently told that 61,000 peo...

Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Terrorism flashback: Lockerbie to 9/11: 1 of 1

Everyone that was around and old enough at the time of 9/11 will remember where they were when they saw the tragic events that unfolded that day. I remember that I was at home alone suffering from some ailment, and in my illness, half watching, half asleep, I watched what seemed to be a very long action film, that seemed to ... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Celebrities: Is modern media out of control?: 1 of 1

I can not help but feel sorry for Ben Cousins (Ex WA Eagles Mid fielder) who recently returned to Western Australia after a spell in LA where instead of getting help for his drugs problems, he seems to have opted for one more party, just for good time's sake. Ben Cousins is a guy with incredible (Australian) football talent,... More..
Religion & Spirituality > New Age (Other) How to put a psychic to the test: 10 of 16

There are a lot more people these days that are prepared to consider that there is something beyond death. It has been accepted enough that it is even acceptable on Tv nowadays (and not just in documentaries), and in fact the programmes that are on Tv are very popular (prime time stuff), although this might have something to...
