The usual madness that is the Fred Phelp’s clan descended onto Comic Con, USA, only to be faced by a protest held in response. With people holding signs like “Is this thing on?”, and “Odin is God”.

We’ve all heard about America’s “no-fly” list. A Quebec man manages to foil this much-trumpeted list by simply changing his name. What does this say about the security designed to keep American planes safe?

Christian Course Credits Worth Nothing
It appears that the University of California can ignore the credits of some Christian courses that students are presenting with. Like most countries, the USA has a scoring system. The better you do in your exams, the more points you have to get into University. The University of California has managed to win the constitutional…

Preparing an Emergency Water Supply
I would like to start this post by saying I’m not an alarmist; I’m a roleplayer. That means, during many of the random fantasy scenarios that I end up playing in, Water is one of those big unknowns. We all know how to boil water to make it clean for use (not that I think…
