Jason Collins came out last week amidst much news coverage which surprised the hell out of me because up until last week I had never heard of Jason Collins. A completely unremarkable athlete/basketball player whose only real achievement in the sport is being the first official gay basketball player. Good for him though, as much as […]
This is the fifth of fifteen articles in CDLS’ Spotlight On… series, exploring culture and society around the world. Day 1: Cyprus Day 2: North Korea Day 3: India Day 4: Venezuela I’m not particularly sure why my articles this week seem to have a religious focus. I didn’t intend for them to turn out this way but they […]
This is the fourth of fifteen articles in CDLS’ Spotlight On… series, exploring culture and society around the world. Day 1: Cyprus Day 2: North Korea Day 3: India [Caution: very long article ahead] Let’s move away from Asia for a bit and shift our focus to somewhere closer to home. This is something that […]
This is the third of fifteen articles in CDLS’ “Spotlight On…” series, exploring culture and society around the world. Day 1: Cyprus Day 2: North Korea First off, I want to say thanks for all the comments, likes and discussion generated from my post on North Korea. I’m glad you all liked it and apparently, […]
This is the 2nd of fifteen articles in CDLS’ ‘Spotlight On…’ series Previous : Cyprus Quick disclaimer here: I didn’t mean for this article to get as long as it did. It sort of ran away from me. If you ask Colin, he will tell you that I have been dying to post an article on North Korea […]
For the next several weeks, I’m going to be doing a spotlight series where I talk about different countries and the problems they are currently facing. I may do several other articles to break it up and add some variety, but for the most part this is what I’m going to be focusing on for […]
So Colin posts about abortion and I’m tackling religion. It seems we’re both breaking our own rules today. I don’t talk about religion as a rule because these conversations never seem to go well. I see no point in these conversations in general. However today, I’m crossing that line. Pope Benedict XVI (now Pope Emeritus) […]
Today I decided to take a break from writing about celebrities, politics and the economy. Even though these are some of my favourite topics, for the next few weeks there will be a moratorium on all articles concerning that (don’t hold me to that; I do go back on what I say). On to the […]
I could name the key players in the Syria conflict. I could talk about the continued economic problems within the Eurozone and the possible battle Angela Merkel will face on her road to re-election. You don’t want me to wade in on the gun control debate spreading like wildfire through the US. I love world […]
I was checking out CNN today, when this headline popped out at me: Canada Revamping Royal Succession Before Baby’s Arrival We had to do this because if the baby is a girl (I’m not sure we know the gender yet and quite frankly I don’t give a shit), then she could not legally become the […]
