THe G8 is a farce--the talking heads from the most powerful economic nations on Earth have talked themselves silly. Here's why I think so: They have not done anything about President Al Bashir of Sudan for his disregard for law and order, and human rights in Darfur. They have decided to impose sanctions on Zim
They sat there in the Monaco of Egypt (Sharm El Sheik), on the Red Sea and hailed Mugabe as a hero. Personally I'm ashamed, as an adopted Egyptian---as it's my home, to host this cowardly bunch of bastards. An AU summit was hastily put together in Egypt to sort out the "Mugabe Problem" and they lauded him and crept up his heroic backside! Some spoke out in squeaks and it was
Momjiki, This wasn't meant to be funny at all. I think some men think no further than their hormones. On a personal note, my daughter has caused us great anguish due to her husband's affair. The Gentleman's rules hurt no-one if used correctly and they are a guideline for men who follow their fantasies but do not cause hurt. Of course, many men don't follow these fantasies at all.
Are you having an affair or are you thinking about having one? I'm aiming this short blog at men but some of the rules apply to women too. It takes two to have an affair remember! Recently a close member of my family had an affair and the result has proved to be heart-breaking, soul-searching and resulted in fragile attempts to keep the marriage together. Some marr
To Artysim, Sorry for the late reply. I get it and I'm naive, of course. However, I still find Colbert a pain in the butt!
I'm not deliberately trying to be controversial but I'm sure many of our readers are sick of Robert Mugabe. So let's add some hot spice and look at one of the most egotistical personalities in television. It's all an act, you say, as it's on a comedy channel! I say it's half act and half serious with Steve Colbert making love to himself while he hammers away at topics that are certainly not comedic. <span style="font-size: sm
Robert Mugabe has, with today's declaration of "War" against the MDC (opposition), started a civil war in his country. I have for long hoped that Zimbabwe would never get to this point but Mugabe, having been beaten in the last elections, will now ensure, with the assistance of his military (who are actually in control), that the MDC will not win any power in Zimbabwe.
"Vote for me or you will not eat!" Sese Seko-no. Idi Amin-no Haille Sellassie -no. Mugabe-Yes. I cannot

Great news and be happy. My wife and I have been married for 35 great years but I do remember that the first year was difficult. We had never lived together before we got married and we seemed like strangers to one another in our first year. It was like having a new room mate who you did not really know (her toothpaste was different, her cooking was awful, her moods had not emerged in courtship, my sloppy ways were new to her, my own moods were not evident and
If a magic genie appeared from a lamp and asked me what I would wish for most I think I would probably ask for the normal things: -May my adult children be happy in their lives. I am pleased that they have grown up in a loving environment and that peace in the home has been so important. I wonder how many families realise that a peaceful, supportive home life is so important.
Myanmar, formerly, Burma, has a record--- stretching back 50 years--of an oppressive government forcing its will on the people. I am reminded of the North Koreans , the Cubans (to a lesser extent), and modern Zimbabwe. When a disaster like the dreaded cyclone of a week ago strikes such a country the leaders are suspicious of any attempts to provide aid. In fact they think the
Thanks for all the comments. There are some pro-Carter and some against but the Palestinian problem remains. And may remain until a wise Statesman gives some solutions.
Yes, stealthyone, I agree but the powers that be in Africa would never put Mugabe in the Hague. He is seen as a hero. Doc, I agree, the UN is useless--they have dragged their feet over Darfur and Zimbabwe is not likely to get their attention. The UN is basically an impotent group dominated by the will of the US and their charter is worthless.
As an addendum to my earlier post: Ben Stein is a bigger charlatan than Dawkins is reported to be. Just Google a bit and see. The film is a farce!

More results are flowing in from Zim after a re-count aimed at boosting Mugabe's lead in the recent elections. There was no parliamentary gain for Comrade Robert, and the MDC, Morgan Tsangvirai's party, has clearly won. However, in a country like Zimbabwe nothing is regarded as normal. While the President in waiting sits outside the country, Mugabe's thugs clamp down on the MDC and brutally beat the winning party faithful. Like Sese Seko and Tshombe and countless others the thugs ap
Dawkins is no fool. In his book: "The God Delusion", he points out that many Christians are led by the noses by false expectations that will: Lead them to Heaven or Condemn them to Hell. My summation of his book and theories is that many Christians become cult-like and adhere to ancient texts like superglue. Furthermore, many aspire to be do-gooders by praising and praying while doing very little at all. Many "quiet" Christians achieve more for the good of people without having to dress up on
Thanks for all the threads, most of which were extremely useful and sensible.I decided to post this blog because Carter felt that the "Road map" or whatever you want to call it, had regressed. Forget Carter and his "lame duck" Presidency. He must have been effective somewhere to earn the Nobel Prize. Forget that too and realise that not enough is being done to solve the Palestinian/Israel crisis. The situation, as I speak, is a "tit for tat" muck-throwing Catch 22 situation.I know t

Wow, haven't had so many replies in ages--makes me feel a part of the family again. Of course "y'all" (Georgia speak), harbour negatives about Carter because he was a mediocre president. But I think you are dwelling on the past. Carter has been a great ambassador for peace since then. I accept the negatives but please prove to me that GW, Condi, Blair et al, have done anything to enhance the peace process in Palest
If George Bush, Condoleeza Rice and Tony Blair--and many others before them--cannot solve the Palestinian problem, why criticize Jimmy Carter for trying to do something about it by meeting Hamas. I doubt Carter will make significant headway but the US government feels he should not be talking to the "bad boys". How do you make any progress if you don't talk to the enemy?
Of course if Thabo Mbeki says there is no crisis in Zimbabwe then there cannot be a crisis. And if the neighbouring leaders gathering in Zambia say there is no crisis there cannot be one. These gracious fools have only one agenda: Support Mugabe in his time of need. After all he is a comrade--a fool yes, but still a comrade. Comrade commander (Iron Cross of the Third Reich),&
No argument: If you're gay or sleep with women who have AIDS and you are not protected, you are at risk of getting AIDs. I won't go into the physiological aspect too deeply but if men are using (to me), unnatural methods of sexual behaviour, what do they expect? If you can get Hepatitis from faecal contamination can you image the risks these guys take. Gay sex is far riskier than lesbian sex and is open to more
It is crunch time for Zimbabwe. Like no other election before, the people of Zimbabwe have spoken. They want to get rid of a tyrant who has reduced their country to a shell. However, the senile despot Mugabe, will not accept the results--I knew that would happen--so, like Tshombe and Sese Seko and many others, Mugabe has brought out his army, police and war veteran thugs to bring everyone into line. I predict that the people of Zimbabwe are tired of this mega-t
