Although I would recommend watching this documentary, there was nothing in it that I did not already know about. Theroux made some good points, but the film did not come anywhere near to demonstrating the suffering of the Palestinians in the West Bank, or the cruelty of the settlers. This was to be expected of …
This is Ed down the street… Your dog is doing his business on my lawn again!
ANYONE who wilfully harms children in any way, in any country, for any reason, does not deserve to live amongst civilised people.
The future teaches you to be alone The present to be afraid and cold So if I can shoot rabbits Then I can shoot fascists Bullets for your brain today But we’ll forget it all again Monuments put from pen to paper Turns me into a gutless wonder And if you tolerate this Then your …
The bombs drop The flesh tears The blood flows The tears fall Starvation is used as a weapon, and mothers watch helpless as their children die slowly. “Moral” countries arrest peaceful protesters who stand up against genocide. “Good religious people” turn a blind eye against the atrocities. “Never Again” is meaningless, as the mass …
“They came with a Bible and their religion, stole our land, and crushed our spirit, and now tell us we should be thankful to the Lord for being saved.” – Chief Pontiac, Odawa leader.

I have posted the song “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, on here before, it is a song that demonstrates the importance of unity, and helping each other through difficult times. When I heard it a couple of days ago, I thought about people on their own who are struggling with loneliness. Loneliness can be very debilitating …
Lying in the long grass on a warm summer’s day As the gentle wind blows above our heads We gaze at each other without a care Like the swallows above us in the air
There is a place by the sea That will always be special to me It is where I went when I needed to be free Free from the sadness Free from the all the madness Free to think under the cover of darkness The sound of the waves splashing in front of me Relaxed and …
Don’t say a word Your eyes say everything Your lips speak without moving And your scent penetrates my senses Come closer to the candlelight So my eyes can feast on your beauty And I will travel on a journey to your heart To give you love from the deepest part of my soul
Starting to lose myself Think I could use some help But they don’t see me Getting used to this feeling Starting to lose myself Think I could use some help But they don’t see me Getting used to this feeling Oh why oh why Can’t I erase my memories I tried I’m tired I guess …
When someone is trying to change their life, and become a better person, encourage them, don’t remind them of their past. They are trying to leave that behind.
I will run, I will climb, I will soar I’m undefeated, ooh Jumping out of my skin, pull the chord Yeah I believe it, ooh The past, is everything we were Don’t make us who we are So I’ll dream, until I make it real And all I see is stars It’s not until you …
One of my favourite sayings has always been Live and Let Live. I thought about that when I was reading about someone complaining about transgender something or other. It takes all kinds of people to make a world. I can understand that there are difficulties in areas like sport, and public toilets which need …
Aleksandra Kuznetsova, known as Gamazda, was born into a family of musicians in Moscow and began playing the piano at the age of three. Her concerts include rock and metal, as well as classical piano.
One can promise actions, but not feelings, for the latter are involuntary. He who promises to love forever, or hate forever, or be forever faithful to someone, is promising something that is not in his power. – Friedrich Nietzsche
Arising from the ashes of a double bereavement Is like waking from a long dark winter slumber And drinking from a cup filled with optimism The spring sunlight brightens up the shadows of gloom And like a sunflower turning towards the morning sun My mind faces out towards the hope on the horizon Photo credit: …
I had a friend who was a prolific gambler. When I expressed my disdain for horse racing, because of its cruelty, he enthused about how well looked after race horses are. He genuinely believed that to be true, and found difficulty in seeing any cruelty. Race courses with jumps are particularly unsuitable for a horse’s …
