Re: The Oakland Massacre: Carnage in a Christian Nursing Sch
It's another sick tragedy. However one witness I saw on TV left me slack-jawed. A ditzy student at the Christian college, said said words to the effect that " I Knew I'd be alright because I believe in God and he always protects me". If only someone would make a whip and wipe out the moronic traves...

Re: Thoughts on Easter
Have to take you to task here, KL. Looking for the roots of Christianity in paganism is a largely spurious exercise. You can have your Christmas, which was a late and peripheral festival, and the odd symbol like halos, but otherwise the pagan references miss the point. In fact, the school of though...

Re: People that use words like "Insouciance"
Well, let me add a few things. First, as much as I dislike Franco-French mentality, I must defend the language just because it is incredibly beautiful. Bash the French all you want, but please, only after you've read Maupassant, Dumas, Voltaire, Baudelaire, Montesquieu, Gary, Stendhal, Molière, Cam...

Re: Thoughts on Easter
Interesting stuff above. I've always been fascinated by the historical Jesus as opposed to the ideological one as portrayed in some quarters. I can't help but notice the way Pagan rites/rituals have been adopted to suit Xian beliefs. This comparison, I find useful: Pagan origins of Easter: Many, per...

Re: What are you investing in?
lol, ok AIA... So are you going to invest in pieces of land which are highly valuable and which many big-shots might want a piece of? Can they not only tell you which will rise in value but also protect you from land-grabs? Sounds like a bad plan imo. Too right. I said 'I know'; I certainly did NOT...

Re: The Westline School - many vacancies

Re: Motodop Rates & One pissed off driver
I go everywhere in the fair city by motodop or tuk tuk, and I've never had any problems with the motos. But the tuk tuks can be a different kettle of fish if it's not one you're familiar with. The other night, I took one from the Riverside (quite, but not that late - after 9pm, I think) and asked hi...

Re: Wedding gift for Khmer gf sister? good but not too good.
I try to avoid weddings now, having been to so many all offering the same fare, but as a rule shove 10 in the envelope if I don't really know them, 20 if I do and once handed over 50 for a mate's (barang) wedding (which, of course, I went to). His new-found relatives were more than happy. Perhaps I'...
