As many of you are probably aware by now (well you should all be aware unless you live under a rock), Jerry Sandusky was arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual molestation and rape of young boys. However, this article is not about Jerry. This is actually about Joe

Office Etiquette 101 – How to treat your co-worker
So, you want to be an office rat do you? You know, there are better ways to suck up to your boss other than throwing a colleague under the bus. Taking this route only creates a hostile environment, which completely sucks when the atmosphere started out happy and laid-back. However,

Now the reason why I added a question mark after “Breaking News” is because well, Anderson Cooper coming out of the closet isn’t really shocking or surprising. It was speculated for years and quite obvious, just like Ricky Martin. It was not that either man screamed gay stereotypes though, but
Continue readingExtremes in the battle of the sexes
Those of us living in civilized and modern societies now understand that the future belongs to indistinguishable gender roles for men and women. Roles that do not discriminate between the sexes. A man is now considered every bit as capable as a woman in previously female dominated industries, such as child rearing,
Continue readingDear Canada: Get over the “benefits” natives have
Dear Canadian People, Well rather those Canadians who are still apprehensive toward the native people of this land. You know how you kids bitch that they just need to get over things and stop getting hand outs by the government. Well, in my opinion, I think you guys need to
Continue readingShooting in Toronto: A more American Canada?
The shooting in Toronto obviously isn’t a sign that Canada has become completely Americanized, however I fear we as a society are on our way if we continue down the path we are on. This to me has been caused by a mix of different things. It does not help

Thursday, May 31st will be marked as a day justice was found, when former Rwandan minister, Callixte Nzabonimana, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1994 genocide of his country. The massacre that spanned 100 days, between April and June, saw 800,000 minority Tutsis and political moderate Hutus killed in the tiny

Yesterday I posted an article title “Hypocrisy 101: The Black Church vs The Decision on Same-sex Marriage.” Now many people were upset that the article might start a backlash against the black community. There were also complaints that it’s not just the black community that are against same-sex marriage; also

The breath and expanse of Canada, as the world’s second largest country, is both a curse and a blessing for Canadians. The country is beautiful, its scenery breathtaking and of course the people are probably the most cultured, caring and grounded people I have ever met in my travels. However, due to the fact

By now you have heard that US President, Barak Obama, has now publicly supported same-sex marriage. Many cheered this revelation. Finally a leader of one of the most-powerful countries in the world is recognizing that homosexuals are allowed the same rights as everyone else. Whether it’s a political move or the

So recently TIME magazine posted this as their front page. It is a 26-year-old mother breastfeeding her almost 4 year-old son. Obviously as you could imagine, this photo has sparked a lot of controversy. Apparently there are some who are for it; saying let the woman do whatever she wants
Continue readingObama, first President in U.S. history to publicly endorse same-sex marriage
Many liberals and democrats will now say: “Finally! ” and ask: “What took you so long Mr. President?” Yes indeed, what prevented Barrack Obama to show his support of gay marriage publicly until now? Perhaps the question isn’t worth asking. The Republican party and it’s ranks of racist, bigoted and religiously extremist Americans, that’s who.
