10 Infamous Presidents Or World Leaders By: Wadzanai Nenzou | - The true measure of a man is how he or she is remembered. Among the great people of history, a few of our world leaders will be remembered for their actions-not positive, but negative. Some will be remembered with horror for the things they caused to happen, the deaths that they caused to take place, the economic woes they caused, or for their vast and outstanding attack on human rights.
South East Asia Art And Culture By: Vincent Ruan | - When thinking of the art of Indochina , one tends to think mainly of the Buddhist art displayed in temples across the area or of the Khmer architecture of Cambodia. But that is to miss a lot of what Indochina has to offer to the art lover. And the region's art is not all ancient! There is a flourishing contemporary art scene throughout the area, attracting serious buyers and collectors from across the globe.
The Need To Preach On Sin By: Denny Smith | - There is a great need to preach on sin today. I am not at all sure that sin is any worse or more prevalent today than in generations gone by for one can go back in history and find unimaginable sin. Human sacrifice, cannibalism, idol worship, all forms of sexual debauchery, witchcraft, mass murders (think Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot), you name it and you can find it in the history of the sins of mankind. History teaches us just how bad man can be.
Places To See In Cambodia By: Liane K. Rhodes | - Cambodia is usually a silent state. Quite a few men and women would also recognize the region because of the genocide through Pol Pot's regime. But at the rear of the horror the fact that citizens knowledgeable below the Khmer Rouge is a beautiful land that strived hard to overcome the unforgettable expertise.

Speak Evil Of No Man...really?? By: Aaron Taylor | - I love the New Testament. I think it's fair to say that I live, eat, breathe, and drink the New Testament. I honestly think that there's no piece of literature more inspiring and uplifting than the New Testament. Having said that, I have to admit that more often than not, I find myself frustrated—and a bit annoyed—at its content. Because the more I read the New Testament, the more I realize that God has set the bar sky-high for those that would call themselves Christ -followers. C ...

Dinesh D'souza, The New Atheism, And Constantinian Christianity By: Aaron Taylor | - Last week at the Innovative Evangelism Conference I got a chance to hear Dinesh D'Souza speak to a standing room only crowd. Many in the crowd were fellow evangelists, but there were a few seekers and skeptics present as well. Dinesh D'Souza is a renowned Christian apologist known for taking on the proponents of the New Atheism (people like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens). He's also one of America's most influential conservative thinkers.
Heads I Win - Tales You Lose (liberals Come Up Winners But Leave Behind A Mess) By: Howard Jacobs | - Barack Obama has made it a point to continually talk about the "mess" he inherited from the Bush administration. In August, he said "But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking."
Want Nothing - Prefer To Have It All By: Willie Horton | - A number of years ago, a friend of mine asked me if I was happy. I replied that I was 100% happy at the time, to which she responded "Oh, that's very sad!" I went on to explain to her that one finds happiness within (where else would you expect to find it?) and that my being happy didn't mean that I didn't want to achieve more, that I didn't want more of all the good things that life has to offer.
Doing The Right Thing By: Willie Horton | - It goes without saying - if you're not doing the right thing, you must be doing the wrong thing. But, what is doing the right thing?
Most organized religions place great emphasis on not doing the wrong thing - a rather negative way of approaching what should be a life-enhancing subject. But, then again, organized religion tends to dwell on the negative (particularly so in Western culture). However, other than, perhaps, the odd exhortation like "loving your neighbour as yourself" o ... Tags:Meditation, self-help, personal growth, success, happiness, motivational
Who Would The Innocents Choose - Blago, Bush Or Obama By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Barack Obama will finish his term of office in only four years if he is re-elected he will have four more years. No child born here in the U.S. or abroad will reach voting age before he finishes his term of office. Those aborted will never so much as hear who is running for office. The pro-choice voters of America male or female can vote now and since the repeal of Bushs ban that constituency has been well played, prepped and pandered to for Obamas second term.
Within the story of the last century we see the rise not only of the great Liberal Darwin Freud conflict over the question of human nature and human freedom, but we see towering above the masses the crags and peaks of peculiar individuals, our human ancestors and comrades, called leaders, that seemed to stand out against the background, as the catalysts of change. What then constitutes the cellular and molecular makeup of these rare character ... Tags:Winston Churchill, Churchill books

Every once in a while, however, one visits a place that evidences the vicious, dark side of mankind. Khmer Rouge Prison 21, known as Tuol Seng, is one such place.

The West Should Step Out Of The United Nations By: Robert Maegh | - In 1945, after World War II, after the Holocaust, at a moment of extreme moral quality, the U.N. was founded. The alliance, based on shared principles, grew out of a military alliance with the aim to combat aggressors and defend human rights. At that moment, Democratic States had a considerable majority.
At the moment however, dictatorships and third world countries have a large majority in the Council and the Western Democracies are constantly are voted down. Consequently, many resoluti ...

Practice Yoga With The Best Of Intentions By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Of course, you practice Yoga with the best of intentions. Now, your thinking, doesnt everyone practice, learn, and teach Yoga with the best of intentions? In a few words: No, they do not.
Some Yoga teachers over-step their boundaries. We have Yoga students who were abused verbally and physically, before they came here. Some were picked on for being overweight, insulted for their lack of flexibility, and one of my current students had her back jumped on by her former Yoga instru ... Tags:
