    Man is trying to find out a planet suitable for human habitation. That is good news for people who don’t mind settling away from their homes, I’m not one of them though. I have heard thousands of people off […]

    • If only we conserve our resources there is enough for not just one world but several worlds. The role of an individual is what matters.

    • I would not want to leave our beautiful earth, but I don’t think we should stop others from exploring space or attempting to found extraterrestrial colonies. Many aspects of space exploration have practical applications here on earth. And if we should establish colonies on other planets, it might help to relieve some of the pressures on our environment while we work on repairing the damage to our environment.

    suny wrote a new post, Violence in multicultural societies 8 years, 4 months ago

    We hear so many incidents of violence in places where multicultural societies exist. What I feel multiculturalism and integration will work so long as the indigenous population of the host nation understand that […]

    • Violence in any society is common due to I think lack of education in men and women. No program of education is started seriously in any country because those who start the programs against the increasing violence are violence maker nature wise but the leaders know well but they just fulfill their temporary responsibility and nothing else all over the world.

      Growing up used to be less traumatic just a few decades ago. Children back then worried about such things as a flat tire on their Schwinns and hoped that their teacher wouldn’t give too much homework.

      Violence has always been a part of the human condition because of our sin nature (Rom. 3:23). But modern families are exposed to even more violence than previous generations because of the media. Any night of the week, the average viewer can see levels of violence approaching and even exceeding the Roman Gladiator games.

      Does this have an effect? Certainly it does. The Bible teaches that “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Prov. 23:7). What we view and what we think about affects our actions.

      Defenders of television programs say that isn’t true. They contend that televised imagery doesn’t make people violent nor does it make people callous to suffering. But if televised imagery doesn’t affect human behavior, then the TV networks should refund billions of advertising dollars to TV sponsors.

      In essence, TV executives are talking out of both sides of their mouths. On the one hand, they try to convince advertisers that a 30-second commercial can influence consumer behavior. On the other hand, they deny that a one-hour program wrapped around the commercials can influence social behavior.

    @Shavkat I am great fan of badminton and cricket. You know it is a different feeling while you are in a cricket stadium in India with close to hundred thousand people cheering to our favorite team while cheerleaders dancing to popular music.

    I agree. The attention must have stopped for a reason.

    hmm…this one is tough. it is best to leave it alone for a while and come back to it when both of you have a cool head. Another thing to do is to send an e-mail and ask for the criticism to be explained in that manner so that it is documented.

    They say the quickest way to get someone’s attention is to no longer want it. Is this true?

    suny wrote a new post, Guess what- A toilet in Bohol 8 years, 4 months ago

    I know there are many members from Philippines on this site and most of them would be aware about the famous toilet restaurant of Bohol. The social media was full about the famous toilet in Bohol that was making […]

    • I wonder how the cleaner manages to clean this big toilet.
      She needs to clean the shelves and re-stack all the books.

    • If you search “Shell Toilet in Bohol” you will be amazed to see the result.

    • I live in Ph,and been to Bohol but never know that there is a toilet like this in Bohol, hahaha, What will be the odor of the entire area. I may ask my co-teacher about this matter.

    • A toilet here in Bohol is currently making a buzz in the internet world when a foreigner uploaded a video of his visit at the Shell Gas Station. The video was mentioned on various sites which made the toilet more popular. Due to curiosity of what makes the toilet famous, I visited the Shell Gas Station’s famous toilet.

      When you enter a public toilet, you would first notice the smell of the place. When I entered the Shell gas station’s toilet, my experience was totally different since the smell was very good. The room was just like I was inside a luxurious hotel. The background music added more appeal to the place. With the slow music and Christmas songs playing, the place tempted me to stay longer. Since the toilet is very clean and well-maintained, the place definitely provides the meaning of CR – Comfort Room. I was not only relaxed with the ambiance of the toilet but I also enjoyed looking at the displayed magazines and souvenir items.

      There was one thing that caught my attention inside the comfort room, the telephone. Yes, there is a telephone inside the toilet.

      According to the employees of the gas station, the owner, Rex Carampatana, conceptualized the luxurious toilet. Rex wanted to promote the tourism and to provide the customers a comfortable and unique experience. The employees were amazed with the popularity of the toilet. According to them, a lot of local and foreign visitors are now visiting the toilet.
