2 comments She noticed him staring at her through the window. Uncomfortably, she shifted. First on one foot, then the other, as she dizzyingly became aware of his intense scrutiny. Boss lady was coming any time soon and if she found this stranger staring at her through her precious shop windows, she would throw a fit. Suddenly [...] February 14, 2010

Leave a comment What is Nudity? by Bob Grant This seems to be the consensus definition of Nudity: noun: the state of being without clothing or covering of any kind. Someone, very special to me, sent out a harmless Valentine’s Day JibJab video. Someone else wrote something about there was an impression of nudity in this video – they try to keep their kids from seeing [...] January 19, 2010

6 comments As you know, we have a hacker who turns up on this site from time-to-time. As you may not know, we also have a wit-cum-satirist-cum-forger who is now regularly in the habit of changing other people’s postings to satirise them. Whilst I am delighted that the guy has a sense of humour somewhat absent from his substantive [...] January 16, 2010

5 comments In retrospect though, I have since found myself sympathizing with every religious extremist. My sympathy arises from the knowledge that victims of religious dogmatism and bigotry are as hapless and pathetic as the victims of natural [...] January 8, 2010
In all fairness (which I slip into sometimes entirely by accident), this piece is not exclusively about Christians; it is about all people who describe themselves as ‘devout’ and then promote hatred and persecution of others. There are some people who describe themselves as ‘devout’ who really are (and who are very special people indeed), [...] January 5, 2010

2 comments My father’s voice sounded so small saying, “Son, please come home.” My father’s voice sounded so small on the other end of the phone. He said, “Son, your mother is worried sick. She misses her little boy. And she can’t understand what would take you so far away. You’re not thinking with your head. You’re feeling with your heart. And [...] December 20, 2009

3 comments A few days ago, I was privileged to see the movie, Invictus. I consider it a privilege because it’s a fresh breath of air—the type that comes in the heels of a nasty fart. About a month earlier, I had seen a much more different movie titled Precious. Based on the novel Push, it’s the story [...] December 15, 2009

Listen up all you would be philanderers and potential assassins of family virtues. I come to warn you about the sirens out to tempt and snare you. You think your status as celebrity will cover your sins as your bodyguards watch your back and your publicists protect your image. But trust me, these temptresses with [...] December 1, 2009
One of the great pleasures of reading indie authors is that they are often literary Luddites, exuberantly smashing the commercial frameworks imposed on their more industrially-produced cousins, replacing them with a more zestful, fresh, individual and – might I say – compelling approach to their work. It is not that they do not recognise [...] November 8, 2009

6 comments In Britain it is now a criminal offence to make any statement which might incite racial hatred. So, if you go around saying that all Irishmen are stupid or all Welshmen are thieves, then you may well find yourself helping the police with their enquiries and facing a sharp fine or even a term of [...] October 16, 2009

6 comments I have a beautiful daughter and an equally beautiful granddaughter - neither of which was delivered by the stork! We have had a lively exchange – both among our contributors - and through related postings to our site. All of this discussion evolved around the general topic of Sex.

7 comments Terror does not always live in a vacuum. Ask any woman who lives in Harlem these days since the Hamilton Heights Rapist struck for the fourth time in less than six weeks.

Leave a comment Of all sins, sexual sin is the most physically rewarding and brings instant gratification, therefore making it extremely tempting. It is also based on a natural desire. However, this desire, this gift from God, must be used properly and in accordance with God’s will. We all want and need food, and God approves of our [...] September 5, 2009

In Patchogue, Long Island, I must have been about six, I was eating dinner with family—aunts, uncles, and cousins—inside of our huge screened-in porch during the yearly vacation in July. For the five families there were five bungalows. I don’t recall how it started, but some kid from across Swan Road had [...] August 20, 2009

One comment Today I arose in total victory! Yesterday was a very challenging day. It was very long and tedious to say the least. It was one of those days that I speculated if all the effort, diligence and dedication are worth the price of success. Usually, I am very strong and determined. But yesterday was the [...] August 18, 2009

Clarence Jordan, 1912-1969 Our news is so full of people who do all they can to attack, belittle and tear down that I’ve decided to dedicate the next few posts to people who stand up, confront wrong, build up, heal, and comfort – people who live by their beliefs in spite of all the [...] August 2, 2009

The Man on the Horse- Do We Care How He Smells?
To be honest I like the latest, hottest commercial on television because it is funny, not because the man selling the product is good looking from head to toe and has a voice that could whisper in my ear anytime. The sensuality is a plus. But it is a good commercial, it’s a funny commercial and the [...]
