What occurred in Connecticut was absolute pandemonium. The scenes were completely grizzly and judging from the comments it has polarised the gun debate. The tragedy is simply unbearable to read about…

Honour in New York
We have come to believe that honour attacks and the like are a rarity in the west. That they mainly occur far away and are such fleeting glimpses into a terrible world. The readers eyeballs prick with tears between the bath and pre-lunch beers… But we don’t expect this sort of attack in New York. …

So Part III in the Female Genital Mutilation Saga
A Skepchick writer has come out in favour of the Lisa Wade’s article in one specific way… No one likes to be told what to do? Especially by people outside the culture if they are using language condemning a practice that is harsh. The problem is Lisa Wade poisoned that one point with the …

Ashley? More like ASH-LIE ! Am I Rite?
Well I am done with my first batch of exams. And hence I am tanked up on weird sleep patterns and loneliness. After writing my take on the sad events of Ashley Miller’s run in with her racist father, I was shocked to see people… actually I wasn’t that shocked. I know the Stormfront exists, …

Sugar and Spice
Madeline Kara had diabetes. Childhood diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases of children with type 1 diabetes affecting around 1.7 per 1000 Americans and a varying amount for type 2 (because ethnicity and socio-economic status plays a role). I said “had”, because Madeline Kara passed away from a diabetic HONK coma. (Hyperglycaemic …

Of Faith and Fannies – Female Genital Mutilation and Islam
Female Circumcision (Genital Mutilation) is one of the major problems facing women in large parts of the world. The practice is seen from parts of Indonesia through some areas of the Middle East to (it is thankfully rarer but it still occurs) to Africa where the practice is widespread due to a long history and …
