From the founder: Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …

Australians, Brits, Kiwis, Safas and the rest of us with a queen. This is a group for all of us that moved here and want to meet new people and have a bit of a chat about the old homeland over a refreshing beer or ale.

Come join other people from similar places with similar views and bring along friends to meet soon-to-be friends. If you're not from the …

You thought I was going to say "Because the bible says so"... NOPE!!! What is science? Good science includes evidence that is testable, demonstrable, observable, measurable, repeatable, etc. So why do we insist on holding onto hypothesis like evolution when all we ever observe or demonstrate prove evolution is impossible. You won't find anybody saying "because the bible says so" in this discussion unless it comes from an evolutionist! lol No, here Young Earth Creationists pose hard facts already …

Kizomba is a beautiful and sensual partner dance, originally from Africa, which is taking the world by strom. For experienced dancers, it is an exciting breath of fresh air. The basics are comfortable to slip into, yet, the dance is challenging enough to keep anyone dancing it for years to come.
