We are all just ordinary people trying to live our lives. Some of us don’t aspire to do anything of “historical import”, but find ourselves in a situation or circumstances and it happens. Some of us actually do set out to leave a mark in the historical records. Either way, those who leave their marks behind may have had good intentions and did “works” or “acts” that people choose to remember them for and call them “great”.

As far as I’m concerned, regards “nation building”, there are really no “great” leaders, thinkers, visionaries, etc., in the history of the nations. But some of them said and did things, and the resulting benefits that accrued to the citizens of that country years after they died, make them people that other people are not likely to forget!

Observers warn of an outpouring of hate that might exceed post-Brexit racism, as some Trump supporters revel in video telling ‘leftist’ immigrants ‘The wolves are coming … And you are the hunted’

I think this is the moderated post.

Let me start from pre-Trumpian; America is a racist country. It is a place that I have to be conscious of the colour of my skin as I get off the plane. I make a lot of mistakes, talking to people… but…

The day Trump won, there were a number of racist incidents in NYC. I have family there who told me what they saw and heard, so this isn’t any ‘media’ hype. A bit of the racism has popped into newspapers, but there’s a lot more. And will be a lot more.

Trump ran on the platform of “Make America White” again. Oh, that might not be what you heard, but this is what white ears heard.

It is not going to be business as usual in America, and those of us in the 3rd and 4th world are making alliances with other nations, just in case.

I am very concerned because he’s erratic. He doesn’t seem to be sane. He is supposed to be the President and he behaves like some 9th grade loud mouthed punk. I wish we could put an umbrella over Jamaica so that he doesn’t remember we exist. For who knows what evil plots in his pin brain.

This tale is based on a true story told to Will by a friend [Tessa] who is an nursery schoolteacher in Drayton near Portsmouth; names have been changed to protect the guilty.boots joke

Marlon asked the teacher to help him get his shoes on at the end of a busy day. After quite a struggle with the shoes, which were a little tight, Tessa finally got them on. ‘They’re on the wrong way round, Miss,’ mumbled Marlon.

She realises that he is right; they are on the wrong feet. Staying calm she and swaps them over for him.

‘They’re not my shoes, Miss’, Marlon murmurs again.

Tessa fights hard to keep her cool and asks Marlon why he hadn’t told her before. She then kneels down again and helps him pull the shoes off.

‘These aren’t my shoes, they’re my brother’s and Mum told me not to tell anyone.’

At this point Tessa can feel tears coming. She helps him back into his shoes. She gets him into his coat and wraps his scarf round his neck.

‘Where are your gloves, Marlon?’ asks Tessa quietly.

‘Oh, Miss, I always put them in my shoes!

That’s a horrible wedding. In my opinion, she should listen to other people, especially those who are already married. It is indeed her marriage and she has an option where and how it will be done but the event itself affects other people.

In many cultures, it’s more of a business transaction than being about love and commitment. Regardless of why a marriage occurs, it is ultimately the legal union of two people. … The wedding ceremony is often based on religious belief and practice, but marriage itself is a civil institution. Marriage is a covenant, a sacred bond between a man and a woman instituted by and publicly entered into before God and normally consummated by sexual intercourse. … (3) The intimacy

The surprising, enlightening, and sometimes hard truths we all face after marriage, and how they teach us about what love really means.

“…And they lived happily ever after.”

You’re smart. You know life is no storybook. But admit it: Somewhere deep in your subconscious lurk romantic visions of Cinderella, or maybe Julia Roberts. The images may be sketchy and a little outdated, but you can still make out the silhouette of the bride and Prince Charming riding off into the sunset.

In real life, sometimes your Disney fairy tale ends up feeling more like a Wes Craven horror flick — and you’re the chick who keeps falling down and screaming for her life. I’ve been there. Let’s face it, marriage is not for the faint of heart. You want to believe your pure love for each other will pull you through. And it does. But it ain’t always pretty.

That may sound grim. But here’s a secret: Sometimes it’s the least romantic parts of marriage that have the most to teach you about yourself, your partner, and the nature of love. Read on for some simple truths that will unlock the surprising treasures and pleasures in your imperfect, unstorybook, real-life love.of marriage: Marriage is the most intimate of all human relationships, uniting a man and a woman in a “one-flesh” union (Genesis 2:23 -25). A double wedding is a double ceremony where two affianced couples rendezvous for two simultaneous or consecutive weddings. Typically, a fiancé with a sibling who is also engaged, or four close friends in which both couples within the friendship are engaged might plan a double wedding where both couples legally marry. Maid of Honor or Matron of Honor or Bride’s Honor Attendant. Bridesmaids or Bride’s Attendants. Best Man / Best Woman / Groom’s Honor Attendant. Groomsmen.

The fact is, when you marry you want your ceremony to be ‘special’. You don’t want to be ‘slotted’ from this minute to that minute then have to leave so another wedding can take place. All Inclusives are conveyor belts. It would cost you the same or less to go to a guest house and have it there.

Oohh my goodness! What a mess. How can someone be so ignorant? Anyway what can I say but to say serves her right. Sometimes it’s good to listen to what you are being told it doesn’t cost you anything to listen. If only she would have listened, she would have avoided all this embarrassments.
That’s the problem with people who never take the time to think before making some decisions. We all know that weddings are a big thing for women, and that’s why they consult on most of the issues, no one wants their day to be ruined because it’s a one day thing and it just had to be the most memorable day of all times. You will find them looking up for wedding planners to help them out with some of the service providers. I can even begin to understand where this bride was coming from and what she was thinking.
I second the idea of wanting to have an “all inclusive” kind of weddings. They always and up disastrous. Having different venues is the bay thing that anyone would choose in their wedding day. That way you won’t have to worry about who’s coming next or how long you should use the premises and so on and so forth. I just don’t understand why people always want to leave a mark of class after their wedding. You go through so much just to prove a point why can’t you just go th3 simple way and enjoy your union. Don’t make it a money affair make it your love affair and everyone will be happy.

There are many cases where a woman had a conflict with other woman and so the cases you have been discussed.
What would be the possible causes of why woman refuses their back to another woman instead of helping them?
Could they be a mental illness ? If it is, what could be the possible treatment for it?

Many women are raised to hate other women. It’s a cultural thing.

Investigative journalism reporting of truth is dead. Killed by the mainstream media (MSM. And yes, we do not hear much about Obama and the WH being cozy with Iran, hence, the Iran nuclear program deal of $150 billion. The secrecy of cash transfer of $400 million ($7 billion in total?) ransom. The Democrat’s Podesta worldwide pedophile sex trafficking is creamed to the top with savory blahs over “pizza, cheese and ice cream” codes. Hidden behind the din of blahsful racist-fascist-islamophobia-high-horses coverups. Thanks to WikiLeaks. Julian Assange and underground journalists such as Project Veritas have done the public (who want to know the truth) a great favor for letting out evidences for people to check and investigate for themselves– and derive their own conclusions. MSM is not reporting these but converge themselves to totalitarian blah-blah dictating to “compliant citizenry” how and what to think. But never mind, we don’t need these failed press for us to know the truth. Somehow, the Internet cannot be shut. There’s plenty of materials there to investigate for ourselves and speak up to bring the very bad press to justice and in order.

About the mosques-burning, I wonder who are paid to do this crime? For what purpose? To deligitimize the President-elect Trump?

I recall way back in the 70s, the US bombed Cambodia then lied about it. But it was reported by other News services. This led to anger and the student protests, where 8 were killed at Jackson State and 4 at Kent State.

One has to ‘search’ for real news, not just go to a news station.

It’s hard to retaliate. What could the writing sites have done but try to adapt and survive?

Like threathy fox said it’s hard to retaliate considering google’s capital. To put in an other way it’s like stealing candy from a baby (google’s perspective). And let’s be honest the world has almost turned in too a capital slavery.
