No matter where life takes me....I'll never sell out my values. I don't sit within a religion or any party political, isolated hegemonic bullshit paradigms. Seriously, I’m bored with it, argue amongst yourselves …..apparently....I've heard....there is an ACTUAL life that can be lived quite freely without those constraints...imagine that!! The ability to think for myself….
What do you think of Obama so far....? An excellent decisive leader 9% Not long enough in office to give a conclusive opinion 26% Dalai Lama snubbing, capitalism before humanitarian thinking, New Orleans? Guantanamo? 30%
Are you having a tantrum because the great black hope turned into just another politician Oleuanna? 35% 23 votes total
Thanks I am Stan for your comments they are very much appreciated and I think he is proving himself to be more of a puppet than a leader. Well I guess the poll speaks for itself really...I officially have the hump.
Well we were wondering what he was up to weren't we? No? No... nor I?

NEW YORK — Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems.
"In many ways, he's sent from God," he joked in an interview, "because the world's a mess."
But Sting is serious in his belief that Obama is the best leader to navigate the world's problems. In an interview on Wednesday, the former Police frontman said that he spent some time with Obama and "found him to be very genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world."
"I can't think of anyone better qualified because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam," he said.
Still, Sting acknowledged the president had a "difficult job" ahead of him.
The British singer, who released the seasonal album "On A Winter's Night" this week, said he's fascinated by American politics, Obama, and also by Obama's opponents on the right.
"It's aggressive and violent and full of fear," he said of the backlash against Obama. "They don't want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there."
Sting, 58, said he's hopeful that the world's problems can be dealt with, but is frustrated that "we seem to be living in a currency of medieval ideas."
"My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color," he said. "We are here to evolve as one family, and we can't be separate anymore."
This is Ron Paul, no stranger to most of you that follow politics with rigor (I hold my hands up, I had to Wiki his Bio, oh yeah sorry for citing Wiki but it's late and I needed to vent!). But anyway if you don’t, in short, he ran for the US Presidency in '88 for the Libertarians and ’08 as a Republican. I just wanted to defend my rant about Obama and what better way than with someone who is in the know,campaigns for liberty and is incredibly eloquent in his deliverance.
If we think Obama is about peace, then why is there still a war continuing in Afghanistan? Ron’s right, Obama and the Bush legacy have made it into an acceptable defensive process toward a war against terror and how can we resist such tact? To vocalise your contempt for this campaign makes you no better than an extreme fundamentalist. Why is this reminding me of the cold war?
We need to stop being schmoozed by these leaders because before we know it, Tony Blair will be Prince of Europe and Obama crowned King of an International Government, a movement that will have no issue using weapons and force to create Western customised ‘peace’. As I suggested earlier we have to ask ourselves what are the motives behind this? And whom will it benefit in the end?
The differences between these two men? One has a better tailor, lives in the West, parades as a catalyst for change, drops in half way through life long political struggles claiming some of the glory..oh and just won a Nobel. The other one IS an achiever!
I swear I haven't got it in for Obama...and I’ll just have a short rant on this subject, because lets face it, I think we are all pretty much one minded about this award. I am not about to talk about and compare my much loved Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King, who without blinking deserved such distinction. I shan’t even mention the life threatening efforts of the nominated Morgan Tsvangirai. He battled that damn Mugabe for years watching people who opposed him disappear and be powerless to prevent it, then moving into a position not of death but sat beside the tyrant leader, in a some what unbelievable coalition.
No No…why would I highlight such obviousness. Because you and I know when we hear those names they instantly evoke the images of strength, bravery, pride, honour and heart swelling admiration we adorn to them because it is something we could not have possibly achieved, even with the life we have left.
I’ll not utter a sound.
But what I will say is, if after eleven days of being freshly in the White house you were told that you would be nominated for such an award, why didn’t you take the committee to one side and say no thanks lets put it off a couple of years? No? Well ok, alright, you probably thought to yourself, no fucking way will I win it…I’ve only been here a short while it couldn’t possibly be awarded to me? and if it did, then wouldn’t you think to yourself it’s because the international stage have obviously got some kind of hidden agenda in mind. Which if you think of race relations and religious connotations, those agendas become quite transparent, wafts of internationalism.
Surely an intelligent man like you would have turned around and said no, lets wait, who would respect me for having it? How could I respect myself? Because you do realise, without a shadow of a doubt, everybody thinks you are being awarded it for being the first black President don’t you? You haven’t done anything else, except talk about your intentions and I am not buying into the argument that the award is about ‘encouragement not achievement’ because if that were the case, then you still fall behind Doctors without borders or Aid workers to name but a few and where are their awards?
So when you pick up that award and give that speech, of which I can NOT wait to hear! When you get back home just ask yourself the one question, are you really worthy to stand in the same line up with those other achievers oops sorry encouragers and feel equal?
I would have respected you more if you had said no and handed it to Tsvangirai.
Obama 'hates whites': TV host accuses President after his attack on police for arresting black Harvard professor
Glenn Beck is a man that supports individual gun ownership rights, is the God of the 9/12 Project (very very scary). Past or still struggling with alcohol issues and a Catholic turned Mormon (Yike!!) and an all round shit stirrer. I am all for freedom of speech but if you are going to be vocal at least seek counselling first after that kind of history....
He said: 'This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy who over and over and over again has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture'.
He was challenged by Fox host Brian Kilmeade who pointed out that most of the people who work for Mr Obama are white and added: 'So you can't say he doesn't like white people'.
Beck replied: 'I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.'
You can't be a little bit racist.....you either are, or you're not, it's not on a sliding scale (other wise known as the 'I have friends who are black' syndrome). Such a strong irresponsible accusation, which well in my opinion unfounded, not unless Obama is harbouring deep rooted hate for his ancestry and he's on the turn?.... but you can judge it for your self. I advocate for free speech but it doesn't sit comfortable with me when it is used to incite hatred. For me if you can't justify your claims you shouldn't be allowed to say it, apparently that's libellous, surely?
And in all honesty the sooner the USA can start talking about the colours in their country openly, preferably to each other and pull down that limiting, over sympathetic, redundant, PC barrier the sooner you will actually be able to cope with the reality of having a black President. It really shouldn't be such a big deal but it will continue to be used by opposition to stir racial hatred and that doesn't take much in such a an undefined volatile continent.
Black Obama needs to start defining himself as a leader, transcend the easy stereotype and start working on New Orleans or he could be left with the legacy of just being know as the black man that hung out in the white house....hurry up.....their mocking you already!
'A thousand years of man’s desires captured in a heel'. I love his photography it compliments his crazy grasp on life and as a writer he is seductive and I can feel his scent with apprehension. He makes me wish I still believed in love.......but then again, why spoilt it, I want to remain his emotional whore…....
Well if you've got it.......?
There is something to be said about the depth of his writing, not just of its intelligent word play but the inducement it insists upon my norms…’I have to release them’ and before I know it, his hand is in mine and my world is now his…..I can offer no resistance....nor do I want to...

He's a gritty Northern man whose poetry is honest and undeniable and will make you feel discomfort from his constant pain. I worry as my heart tears from each entry I read so he must be internally bleeding. But don’t be scared to embrace it, his words glide through your cells like necessary oxys gennan..absorb him… guiltily enjoy his madness and though he may be beautiful.....just be glad it isn't you...
A must have.....
I read this and felt transported back to discovering sex for the first time. Gently written anthology, of funny, sexy and erotic tales, it has been my bed partner for a week!…..It’s a must have for the girls...but the boys will love it just as much..!! Enjoy…...I certainly did..
BLANK.......you won't be...
Raw ..Sexy .....Dark....I LOVE THIS....it attacks all my senses and like a kid I sit underneath my duvet and read it when I should be asleep. Gritty art, engrossing story and compelling ambience. It’s ok to grow up now, our toys just got better…..!

The world needs poets....and this poet knows this world....

Creation by Emergence - Vincenzo Scipioni, I am in awe of this man and his works as he seems to transcend any form of measurement. His insights into his life and the life around him is enthralling and has me wanting to drink more of him. My thirst is still not quenched and quite frankly I never want it to be satisfied. It's rare for me to fall in love with such art but I have... because it is truly beautiful. But what is life without discovery? Go on…I urge you to take a look for yourself ….
