Meat Eaters Are Killing The Planet
According to a recent statement by a respected authority on Global Warming, the best way people can reduce their impact on the environment is to stop eating meat. Lord Stern of Brentford, one of the world’s leading authorities on climate change says people should give up meat to stop global warming. Lord Stern predicted that once people were fully educated on the ramifications of eating meat that in the future we may live in a society where meat eaters are shunned with the same ferocity as drunk drivers. There are a variety of ways in which meat contributes to climate change and according to Lord Stern, the United Nation’s summit in Copenhagen addressed these issues.
Spiteful Women
Every now and then when you’re out and about you come across a glitch, the kind that makes conflicts between nations seem like a minor stitch. These encounters yield quite a blow to both a man’s ego and his glow. Now we’ve passed the point, one would like to think, where both male and female mixings would cause such a stink. The catalyst alas, is a persona within, the female psyche which explodes with sin. A defense mechanism perhaps, or so they’d like us to think, it’s more of a bite that’s intended to sting.

Swine Flu
Swine influenza also called swine flu, pigfluenza, hog flu, and pig flu is the latest disease that has recently been flooding and threatening the world. It presents a great threat as it not only passes from animal to animal but from human to human as well. Having allegedly been around since 19030 when the first identification of an influenza virus as a cause of disease in pigs was found, this disease has quickly spread from country to country over the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, this dreadful disease can be passed from animal to human and the results are known to be fatal in some cases. So as they say, prevention is better than the cure.

Do Women Really Believe the Earth is Flat? If they Venture Forth Will they Fall off the Edge?
I do not walk in front of my man to test the ground for landmines.
(E.Moon)
The ‘F’ word has no place in my vocabulary.
Instead I have a belief in ‘EOG’
Feminism is an outdated adjective.
EOG sounds more like a substance to save the planet doesn’t it? However it is my own personal belief in ‘Equality of Genders.’ There now I have said it.
Feminism has been around since the 18th century. In 1792 May Wollstonecraft published her Vindication on the Rights of Woman, an important work advocating the rights of women.
Mary’s attitude stems from being born the daughter of a brutish, tyrannical father who bullied his wife into an exhausted state of servitude.
My answer to the male gender that retains the belief they can chain a woman’s mind and body is simply, “get a grip.” No one can own or chain a mind, you cannot steal another human being’s thoughts and you cannot strangle a soul.
An Expert's Guide To Bargain Shopping In Cairo
By Soraya Morayef
Anyone who claims that they can’t find bargain shopping in Cairo is delusional. First of all, we Egyptians love a good bargain; we may not have created the concept of sales and discounts, but we very well could have. Just take a look at any discount store around the world (Primark, Dollar Store, Forever 21), and you may find several of us arguing loudly over the Sale of the Day rack.
