Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Unforgettable and unforgivable nation leaders: 2 of 64
Ahhhhthat special breed of individual. Found predominately tangled in a web of lies, they gravitate towards political opportunism like the proverbial flies round a cow pat.In the beginning, they were men of wisdom; of fibre; of honour. They championed the common man with heart and fervour; and if they ever slipped, the ethica... More..

As I write this piece, I'm sitting in my back garden, the sun's shining and a gentle breeze caresses my face.Ahhh, it's a beautiful world it really is.But, not according to the nearly President, Al Gore; according to him, and his recent movie, An Inconvenient Truth, we're just about at the end. The damage perpetrated on the E... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Debate on the war in Iraq: 18 of 123
Conflict in the middle east has been a building block of the nation from the beginning of it's existence (which, to use a common expression, was eons before the US was a twinkle in its daddy's eye').And the Coalition forces are taking the brunt of its anger. This was recently chillingly demonstrated by virtue of a well-placed... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Should the United States pull troops out of Iraq and surrounding countries?: 9 of 47
Well, it's been all over talk radio today. Much like the Clash's pop song, everyone's asking should we stay or should we go?'I've spoken of this before and my opinion remains consistent. That opinion being that either choice is going to result in terrible ramifications for everyone involved. If you stay (I say you' as opposed... More..
Sports & Recreation > Sports & Recreation (Other) Freefall: Flying without wings: 1 of 2
The pack feels heavy on my back as a waddle down to the jump plane. The straps, pulled tightly around my crotch make walking difficult but if not tight, when the chute opens at 120mph, walking when I eventually land will be damn near impossible.As I join the line of other jumpers, the blast from the twin props of the skyvan n...

I have seen and heard many things in my life but few were as absurd as the subject question of this article.Should America attack Iran?Have we not learned anything from the current situation in Iraq?

Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds Commentary: Breed specific legislation (BSL): 26 of 46
We've all seen them; bull-necked, snarling creatures, straining at the leash, aggressively intimidating those with whom they come into contact.With names like Spike and Biff; Killer and Sheba, they wear their leather collars sporting the pointed spikes like a badge.People avoid them like the plague, fearful of being attacked ...

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change A response to Al Gore's Film, 'An Inconvenient Truth': 19 of 32
Look, we can go on about how much we need to do to change things til' we're blue in the face. The simple fact is that we as humans have never conformed or assimilated with nature. Our supreme intelligence when compared with the 'dumb animals' drives us to attempt to manipulate and exploit nature to suit our own ends regardles... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds Dog breed: Border Collie: 9 of 14
I'm on my third Border Collie. I agree it doesn't sound like a lot but when considering the average lifespan of this breed (around the 14 to 17 year mark), my own lifespan may only be able to cover 5 or so.Presently I have 2 - they are brothers from the same litter and I consider them as much a part of my family as my human r...

Relationships & Family > Divorce Psychology Why so many marriages end in divorce: 54 of 79
My marriage ended in divorce. The reasons are many and varied but essentially we as a couple didn't gel. We didn't have enough in common. I'm not really that fussed to be honest; we remain friends and I think that will be more successful a relationship than the marriage.My parents recently celebrated their 40th anniversary an... More..
