Anyone
who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian, sitting in
mosque can make you Muslim, or sitting in synagogue can make you Jewish,
or sitting in Vihara can make you Buddhist, must also think that
sitting in a garage can make you a car. My religion is very simple. My
religion is kindness. ( Garrison Keillor & Dalai Lama XIV).

I have a growing agitation for when people use cause in the place of
because. If you're going to try to be grammatically correct with your
written slang, I feel like it would only be appropriate to take the
extra effort to add the apostrophe in front of the word you're
attempting to use. Otherwise your sentence makes no sense. Cause and
'cause have two completely different meanings. You do not look any more
intelligent using "cause" instead of "cuz" as a subordinating
conjunction.

Why Mandela was my hero. Read the article please.
On 14 May 1992, Nelson Mandela, leader of the African National Congress,
was subjected to harsh criticism and utterances verging on libel, due
to the position he took in declining to accept a peace prize, named
after Turkey's national hero, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, awarded to him by
the state of Turkey.
According to Mandela's spokesperson at the time, Mandela assumed this stance due to the human rights violations committed by Turkey against the Kurdish minority living in Turkey, especially with regard to Kurdish aspirations toward a independent Kurdish homeland. Mandela however later relented and in 1999, he accepted the award. The situation of the Kurdish people in Turkey however remains virtually unchanged, as recent developments such as the toppling of the Saddam regime and the invasion of Afghanistan has further destabilised the situation. It remains to be seen if the support given by the largely Kurdish Northern Alliance to the American led invasion of Iraq improves their situation.The 'Ataturk Peace Award', which has been awarded since 1984, was awarded to Nelson Mandela in 1992 for being anti-racist and a hero. When he refused the award because of the oppression of the Kurds, he was called 'an insolent African', 'an ugly African', 'a nigger' and 'the terrorist Mandela'.

It is really hard to explain this right now.I started watching one of
the greatest movie enfranchises in history with this guy name Brian
O'Connor aka PAUL WALKER.This movie enfranchise is truly my favorite
movie of all time.I literally enjoyed watching one of the best movie
actors.When I saw the news online,I truly burst in tears.I still cannot
believe he is gone at the age of 40.I am saddened and broken inside.My
prayers go for his fast and furious family and his real family.
As much as it hurts to say it,
May your soul Rest In Peace Paul Walker.
