Dr Kublalsingh has decide that he is willing to die for his cause. Will he be hailed as a martyr by his supporters? I am sure that he will be heralded as such. Will his death cause the building of the road to be stopped or rerouted? I sincerely doubt that that will happen. The problem is that he does not realize that he has already lost the proverbial staring contest. The government will not blink and unfortunately, Dr Kublalsingh may have to suffer the ignominy of dying for a lost cause. His remains will be cremated or interred. His loved ones will mourn his passing and then like everyone else they will return to the routines of their daily lives. This is just so sad.

I did see "recycled cork" in the description but I did not fully get it. I wish the article was as detailed as your description. I guess I had to be there. Thanks again.

It is truly a beautiful gown but I wish the designer had come up with a better name. I remember people used to say "cork" back in the late 80's to refer to something good. Anyway, who am I to judge ? In the words of Shakespeare in act 2 scene 2 of "Romeo and Juliet": "What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet" That gown would have won regardless of any other name it may have carried.

I don't know how nice it will be though when it turns out that they may have to go after family and friends of politicians. Some how or the other, I foresee selective enforcement taking place. I guess that a wait and see approach would be best in this instance.

We had reported the sagging top line to T&TEC but they never came to repair the problem. One day the top line touched the exposed neutral line attached to my house. There was a huge explosion and everything that was plugged in at the time, from the TV to the fridge, stopped working. T&TEC dispatched a crew almost immediately and they came and lowered the line running to our house. A few days later, a very rude investigator came, took some notes and left. About a week later we received a letter from T&TEC saying that they were not responsible for the damages. I guess that since Trinidad and Trinidadians have become more legally aware, T&TEC is not taking chances any more. I hope that Miss Stephen still sues them.

Remember the days when people used to line up orderly in front the cinema and as soon as the gates open is push, cuff and kick to get in? Was karate even before the double started. When the movie was over, every street sign and garbage can was in big trouble. Finally if you were a small guy and the 'kick up" double finish, you had better run fast to get a taxi before the "masters" of kung fu ran out of garbage cans and street signs.

At the risk of being deleted myself, I will echo what you stated. There are too many important news items such as Anil (AKA R Kelly "It wasn't me on the video with the girl.") the liar for this nonsense to be opened for comments. Go ahead and delete. Been there, done that so who cares.

Where is the fun in that? Good sex is in the mind. A man can bring a woman to climax without even touching her. Actually, one can bring oneself to climax without any form of touching.. If you read about the practice of tantric sex and ones subtle energies that can be channeled to sex through meditation, you will understand what I have previously stated. Men who suffer from premature ejaculation need to first get comfortable with the idea that they do in fact have a problem. This admission will lead to them finding ways to combat it. Resolution starts with an open and frank discussion with an "understanding" partner. I say understanding because some women are unforgiving when it comes to unsatisfying sex. They can make a man feel lower than dirt if he ejaculates too quickly or has some performance anxiety. Also, most men are such macho clowns that they feel embarrassed to even approach the topic with a woman. For example, how many men have actually ever asked a woman what she likes or does not like when it comes to sex? In other words, a man needs to discuss sex with his partner at times when they are not about to engage in the act itself. One major problem in all of this is that society puts a great deal of pressure on the man to perform. The man is expected to "satisfy" the woman. Any man who cannot live up to that responsibility feels inadequate. Sex puts less pressure to perform on a woman than it does on a man. Fortunately for some men :), there are many women who refuse to ever be told that they are boring when it comes to sex and thus they literally rise to the challenge. The main sexual difference between men and women is that women generally do not need a rest period between orgasms which, they can easily fake if they wish. The guy who suffers from premature ejaculation certainly cannot laugh and say that he faked the orgasm. Even if he lies about it, the fact that woman will have to wait for a while before they can try again will certainly reveal the truth. Guys, if you have this problem, get some help.

Have a nice one until the next time we cross paths on a blog site. Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:49:20 +0000 http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/MUSLIM-WRATH-267596201.html#IDComment856035629 http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/MUSLIM-WRATH-267596201.html#IDComment855627005 Hating people is a huge responsibility. It is one I choose not to accept. What I accept is that there are people who do not believe what I believe and I respect their right to their beliefs. I tell my own children that some of the most dangerous people they will meet in their lifetime are those who believe that the only path to God is the one they have chosen. They do not accept differences and will kill to protect their beliefs. I refuse to allow myself to be a slave to religion. The problem is that many people do not even realize that they believe in a religion rather than a God. That my friend is the scariest part of all.

I stated above that I am a Christian. Being a Christian however, does not mean that I am going to bury my head in the sand and ignore the reality of the world around me. I used to laugh at people in my church back in Trinidad around election time when they would make stupid statements like "I voting for Jesus! " Did they fail to recognize that we live in a real world so we better be a part of the process of choosing its leaders. I am not going to ignore the hypocrisy that has come to characterize all religions. If one wants to be a good atheist, one needs to be aware of the teachings of many religions. If you were to speak to an agnostic or atheist, you would discover that they are usually more aware of religious teachings than most religious people. Anyway, Matthew 24:5 states: "many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many." The Bible predicted the rise of many of the religious zealots of the past present and future. As a Christian one must pray and like Solomon, ask for wisdom. At the end of the day, wisdom and information will be your greatest assets.

Like I said above, religion certainly has not made this eworld a better place. The ancient popes were corrupt individuals who oppressed people in the name of riches. The Europeans invaded Africa and the Americas. They gave the natives their religion. They told them to close their eyes and pray. By the timevthey opened their eyes the Europeans owned most if not all of the land. Columbus and his band of marauders used to chop off the hands of the Amerindians when they failed tto vring them enoigh gold. Nowadays we have well dressed hustlers on TV whose aim is to sell religion. They prey on the suffering while living in huge mansions and riding around in private jets and yachts. They sell hope to the hopeless. Have you ever watched Rod Parsley's show where he encourages people to buy a piece of cloth into which he prayed? The rest of that Karl Marx quotation basically recognizes how religion is used to control people.
